I couldn't really give a sh*t about the whole system but I am enjoying David Beckham not getting the gong he so badly craves. I read he was even pretending to be interested in beekeeping to try and influence the King not so long ago. If he never gets one I'll be a happy man.

He has the OBE and a Gold Blue Peter badge, what more does he want?

Had the Reform candidate for Aberdeen North at my door yesterday.

He is allegedly standing to be the voice of disaffected people like me.

I asked if he supports Scottish independence. No.
I asked if he wants to nationalize buses and trains. No.
I asked how his party will fix the NHS. No answer
I asked if his party want to rejoin the EU. Certainly not.
I asked what his party will do on climate change. Nothing.

You're not really standing for me then are you.

He handed me a leaflet and left.

Fair play he come to my door, very few ever have due to the area I live in.

What was in his manifesto, exactly?

No abortions, no poovery, batter your children, more god

[swaddon2]

Their manifesto is basically returning the UK to the 1950s.

[Donanddusted]

Well, yes to the above.
But I'm curious (not that curious to try and find it) to know what's actually in it.
You know, like Labour s "change" manifesto.
Fully costed by Anus and Stauner.

We’ve got a “Trade Union and Socialist Fighter” in the ballot up here in status symbol land, which is sweet relief from the Labour, Tory, Nat and Libdem neo-libs, the nazi, and the Family Party zoomer, although a candidate thus named would score well in Huntly.

I’ll vote for him to try to help save his deposit. May as well, it’s short commons otherwise.

Had someone from that party at my door not long after the Reform boy, had Alba at the door again too.

Told the loon I agree with most of what he stands for, but we can't change anything until we split away from London control.


I would have voted for him twenty years ago or so, but the real damage is coming from Westminster, no matter how badly you think the SNP are doing up here.

They are standing for disaffected voters like me. His words not mine.

He didn't really say what he stood for, but don't think Mason or Swaddon are too far off the mark.

I never get any fuc ker round my door, I reckon I'm on some sort of "avoid" list.

Anyway, global politics, it seems Biden may have handed Therapist Trump the keys to the White House for four years ...... possibly longer if the wannabe despot gets his way.

The thought of another Trump presidency with the current state of the world is genuinely too terrifying to think about.

Surely the Dems need to sort out an alternative candidate?
I've nae idea if there's a mechanism to do that but, fuc k........
