The presenter was quite poor.

I found both of them appealed to their base and that nothing said within made much difference.

The audience questions were really crap as well.....very little actual serious policy talk.

I agree and it has parallels with May and ‘strong and stable’. But Boris has far more in him than May and enough to beat Corbyn with his protest persona. If Boris was fighting Corbyn when May did then it might be a different matter. Against Blair he’d be beaten before day 1 and it would be a close thing vs David Miliband or similar, if his brother and the unions didn’t stab him in the front.

We are blessed with the worst leaders. All of them for a decade, and then there was Brown and Blair. None are very strong apart from Corbyn in one election and Sturgeon promising one policy of freedom to decide their future, with the EU doing it for them instead of the U.K. No wonder people don’t vote. It’s right in front of us now we’ve got to the point of all of them being a real disappointment.

A new take on electoral fraud

[Link]

I'm not convinced that this is actual fraud but the key question that the paper fails to ask and the council fails to clarify is how did these people get on the electoral roll if they haven't registered?

It's a one on one process, one form for one person. So how did hundreds of people who did not complete forms get enrolled? Where did the council staff get the information to make this mistake?

I think this is more cock up than conspiracy but it still should be explained.

Had dinner last night with some relatives who are the most apolitical people I know and her name was mentioned in context of coming across as a 'dreadful' woman.

Although to be fair in a conversation at work the general consensus was that if you could stick Priti Patels head on Swinson's body then you might have a half-decent looking politician. Neither rock my boat but each to their own.

The occasional mistake I can understand e.g. a typo but you are correct a mistake on this level needs to be explained.

How could you know this?

You obviously do not follow electoral issues as it WAS picked up by the Commission at the time and it was front page news in national newspapers. Students now have to vote in their own areas and NOT in their university area. You need to check on things before you try to be clever and shoot someone down especially when you know FA about the subject.

Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky.

Because like every other institution it's run by people with the same bias and agenda.

Made me laugh.

You probably want to have a re-read of Badger’s post.

I think you may have misread my post or I may not have made my self clear. I was not being sarcastic I was genuinely asking as you appear to be from that area so I was bowing to your local knowledge.

Peace and love.
