Politics - The Non-Brexit Thread.

I would of thought the postal vote would of help BXP as their voters will more than likely be older, guess not

Let's see if The Electoral Commission have anything to say about Mahmood's presence

I've always used a postal vote, who can be really arsed going out to tick a box, fuck that for a laugh.

Me too. If I have alot of shit going down with work I couldn't guarantee to get to the polling station. Postal is easier all round.

In other asshole news there is footage online of Tommy Robinson assaulting another England fan in Portugal. Robinson walks up and punches the other man from behind whilst surrounded by his goons like the feckless coward that he is. After being humiliated at the European elections by being receiving such a drubbing that he wasn't even able to get back his deposit, Robinson seems to be back on home turf by engaging in English hooliganism.

I would say attacking a man from behind is a new low for him but this is the man whose first arrest was for assaulting a police officer because he showed the audacity to intervene while Robinson was beating up his girlfriend.

Lot of talk on twitter questioning the unusually high number of postal votes in this by-election which accounted for 6,000 of Labour’s vote. In addition, at the count last night was none other than Labour activist Tariq Mahmood who was jailed in 2008 for (wait for it) vote rigging with postal votes in Peterborough.

Suspicious? You be the judge...

I would seriously question Mahmood being at the count to begin with
anybody who has been jailed for vote rigging should be banned for life from a vote count and electioneering, why the labour party haven't dealt with him is beyond me

Do you think something suspicious went on if he was there?

I don't know, only the electoral commission can answer that

How is it that Boris Johnson when he was in Cabinet used to make a big thing of cycling to work and now he is being ferried about by a car and he's not even in the Cabinet anymore?

Honestly I couldn't say for sure but I would guess hat it was to do with PR for being Mayor of London. Not only to show that he was willing to be part of the solution to London's congestion charges but as a Liberal city that has been a stronghold for the left for quite some time it made him look eco friendly

He was actually "banned" from cycling to work in London when he was Foreign Secretary due to the security risk. As he could well be PM in a matter of weeks I would assume his Protection Officer has hidden his bike.

Or someone has stolen it
