Election Year or Fear!

[MadAmster]

no *******s ar all, the cut and paste of the quote picking up internet code, shows no made up story.

The crux of the argument is here, and many places.
Some serious game playing here, like the mystery black hole.

quote- from below,

As Labour pushes forward with its devolution plans, the controversy surrounding the potential cancellation of local elections is unlikely to die down anytime soon. Whether this move will ultimately benefit local governance or hinder democratic participation remains to be seen. One thing is certain: the political landscape in the UK is set for some significant changes in the coming months. Labour led by the crazy gang would an amazing job in a dark hole in the ground with the woke left as that small group of mindless dimwits knitting tank tops and lapping up the 1322 genders will just agree to anything that Keir says.

It may be me as I'm only a former English language teacher at secondary schools and colleges as well as giving business English courses at various companies but I do not have a clue what the bit in bold is supposed to mean.

So a year on, and we still have a government that's massively unpopular, achieving nothing on the economy and smelling of sleaze (albeit sleaze light). Same old same old. Still, they've differentiated themselves in one way, they have got themselves a Christmas Number 1! This is the 'real' chart, the one that counts actual hand-in-the-pocket sales, the closest you'll get these days to the charts we knew, loved and trusted. Strange how its not been on the radio but hey ho I'm sure there's no agenda at play there

Unlike many such spoof records, it is actually pretty good parody, quite true to the original. Les Gray would, I suspect be smiling with the faint trace of a tear in his eye. But that will teach him for having been a Leeds fan (or he was when I met him at university rag week ball, although he could have been a plastic)

Not just you MA, as someone with a similar language background, having run an English Dept. for years and - prior to that having some experience of TEFL - I have no idea either. Often the way I find, when our red acquaintance abandons relying on others and tries to go it alone.

It is pretty good, with one absolute killer line 'I wish tears could heat my home' that the greats like Weil and Mann or Cropper and Redding would have been proud of

Do find it odd the BBC won't play it, and they complain about Lineker expressing views etc but they pay Ian Hislop to do it on HIGNFY.

No mystery in it at all. They have been sucking up to Starmer since day one over the royal charter running out and he them, for the better publicity.
Its a charity song, but politics comes first . Just for RA.

As the year fades out, what have we learned?
The main parties are a carbon copy of lies and deceit.
They refuse to listen to voters but their own ilk.
Despite all the scoffing, Reform has lit a torch of escape and it will continue to grow.
The Tories will be forced to go back to right wing to survive, and not this mushy weak , left wing stance that Starmer now embraces.
It won't save them, the sleeze runs too deep and Labour have been found out to be the same. Lied to get elected. A manifesto that didn't mean spit and trying to cloak and dagger undo things that weren't even that manifesto.

The slide will continue

Lol. Just for RA! You do talk some rubbish TTR. It hasn’t been handled perfectly, far from it, but the point is, there are a great many pensioners, myself included, who are comfortably off and don’t actually need the WFA. There are also a great many genuinely rich pensioners, myself not included, who certainly don’t need it at all and that money can be better spent elsewhere.
Much of the above goes for farmers too but let’s not let the facts get in the way of a good story/song.

Anyway, the responses from MA and myself were just drawing attention to the fact that a large part of what you’d posted is totally incomprehensible.

P.S. Reform, ‘lit a torch of escape’. What, like Brexit you mean? There’s none so blind, Tricky…have a good Christmas anyway.

Indeed.

Saved money how|? Would you like the list of where Labout have thrown money ? Saved 1,8 Billion, when really only half of that should have been stopped. Yet GB energy/ climate aid abroad/ money for foreign farmers/ aid to islamists in Syria and on and on and on. Billions on nothing.
Shafted pensioners/ waspi women/ farmers/ small businesses. Yay for your hero.
His popularity rating falls through the floor and the country is going back wards.

Deny what you want, Reform worries STARMER TO DEATH.
Another day and another thumping defeat for Keir Starmer. This time, it’s for one of three seats in the previously safe ward of Brockmoor and Pensnett in Dudley. Labour previously won here in July with almost 64 per cent of the vote. But, this morning, it transpires that they have now slumped to third in the West Midlands, winning just 28.9 per cent of ballots cast. The party’s candidate, Karen Jordan, finished beneath both Reform’s Richard Tasker and the Tories’ Alex Dale, who won on 35.4 per cent. Talk about a three-way split.

Such is the anger of the local Labour group at the loss of this seat that one of Karen Jordan’s colleagues has now taken to social media to vent his displeasure. Councillor Steve Edwards, who is one of the three councillors in Brockmoor and Pensnett, wrote on Facebook that on the doorstep the ‘overriding message’ is ‘anti Starmer and rightly so. https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/...election-loss/
