That's not what happened. The right wing vote got split by dummies wanting to vote for a party further to the right than their normal brand and the centre voted for the party that was still in the centre. I mean it was a good result in that the Normal Dummy Party got kicked out but if you look at the history they have been in control for most of the past two centuries because the electorate of this country are mainly right-leaning dummies.

Letter from Charles Darwin to Asa Gray (22nd May 1860)
With respect to the theological view of the question; this is always painful to me.— I am bewildered.— I had no intention to write atheistically. But I own that I cannot see, as plainly as others do, & as I shd wish to do, evidence of design & beneficence on all sides of us. There seems to me too much misery in the world. I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent & omnipotent God would have designedly created the Ichneumonidæ with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of caterpillars, or that a cat should play with mice.
Definitely. He emboldened Bush with his Christian bullshit.
Yeah, on the other hand he's never going to face up to what he's done so you're right, he probably shouldn't have brought up the single most authoritarian policy New Labour ever proposed.
Blair needs to ~~stop sticking his oar in and give the new government time and space to crack on with fixing the mess left by the Tories. I’m sure ministers have better things to do than shoot down his bad ideas.~~ be dragged off to prison for war crimes.
Tomatyo, Tomahto.
I know damn well. Someone who knew police told me that when they do these type of stunts they invite the press and local councillors and hand out beer and then they all stand around waiting for the wind to "unpredictably" blow all the smoke all over the audience. Everyone winds up wrecked. Your tax at work in the great war against drugs.
Lasagne - I got layers.
Why do cops always burn weed to destroy it rather than dunking it in bleach or seawater or any of the thousand things you can do to it to render it unusable?
If you're browsing Lemmy, on your phone, in work then really you should be curating your feed a bit better.
Off topic, can we just take a moment to appreciate the art of the photographer that took this pic.
I was hoping for IDS to be beaten, mainly for his part in the design of Universal Credit but it looks as if his constituency is, to quote The Thick Of It, built on a solid bed of cunts.
It's pure maths. The Tory votes plus the Reform votes is a bigger sum than the Labour vote. Listen. I have to live here with these fucks so I don't like it any more than you do. But without the collapse in the Tory vote it wouldn't have mattered what Keir Starmer or Ed Davey did.
