Yeah, I saw that and thought the same.
He says it was for all the sub-postmasters, not just him.
Personally, I'd tell them to cram it.

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.

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........

Stayed here for over 12 years and first election I have ever had folk at the door, bar Willie Young for a council election once.

Trump isn't all bad.
He said that the Democrats will allow abortions after the child's birth.
How nasty is that!?

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

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