I mean we could do something positive. Become activists or something, but that seems like a lot of effort to get manhandled by a Tory MP.

The real travesty is the Mayonnaise fans who voted for Prudy01, shame on you. <edit> I may have read the room wrong I made an informed decision. I knew exactly what I was voting for. |

It is quite clear that Jeremy Hunt, who presided over this is completely unfit to be prime minister. It's also quite clear that a large proportion of the population are comfortable with underfunded public services. When I worked for a local authority they ran a survey of what residents felt their council tax should be spent on. The results were predictably depressing. |

Fix the potholes and collect the bins. Libraries should be provided but only if they don't cost anything.
Fuck social care and schools.

I'd be pretty happy for them to get rid of Sutton Coldfield library.

It's all so sadly predictable. I can't think of a single time in my voting life, I've been on the winning side of anything. All the while, my generation and the one after get told we're frivolous layabouts, despite evidence that we pay higher percentage of wages for rents and have less disposable income than previous generations.
But ultimately, we can't even be assed (in general) to turn out and vote to change anything. Instead, the Tories continue to vote in their fucking interest and poor misguided individuals vote for Boris, who for some reason has managed to persuade people that Brexit is in the public interest and he's a viable option for prime minister of the people while pushing for lower corporation tax and a reduction in tax for higher earners.
Fucking cunt.

I'd be pretty happy for them to get rid of Sutton Coldfield library. One word at the end too many. I'm joking. I've had a good day gardening. All done before the rain started. Check in here and BabyF gets shot in the face, tremendous*. Then you all have to talk about reality and now I'm on the wine/whine. Thanks a bunch. In other news we've now completed 8 shrines. And have a horse called Thunder. *no offence |

It's in a terrible building in a closed in 1970's shopping centre that was past its best by 1980.
As an example there are 3 lifts to the car park of which at any time one is working. When it breaks down the council fix whichever of the 3 is cheapest.
The buildings are also riddled with asbestos. The library has been shut twice for lengthy periods to remove it. No doubt it is still in other areas of the complex.
They were going to close the library completely, but it turned out that they had sold the building and taken a 99 year self repairing lease. So they would have to pay about £0.5m a year for an unusable building. Or pay for the repair.
Even Birmingham council* was shamed into paying for the repair.
They do now own the shopping centre so there is some hope of knocking it down and eventually building something less awful. Hopefully with a nicer library.
* Most of the worst decisions were made when the Tories ran the council. Most. The Labour run periods have also been pretty poor.

Brexit (especially a no deal version) will be fine for Boris and his ilk. And, as PM, he will be able to buy back his water cannon to deal with the ensuing civil unrest. He may need to call out the army though, given the reduction in police numbers

What I'm saying is, Go Bloggie! (and friends), I'm right behind you (making the sandwiches and tea). |

Right, I've done the decent thing* and removed my vote for prudy01 and voted for Mayonnaise. Even if we lose,at least I'll have voted for what I believe in, and not just voted for the option most likely to defeat salad cream. *Not that. The hose pipe is knackered and modern catalytic converters mean that's all too much effort. |

The poll is still open. Please refrain from commenting on actual votes or potential voting intentions until 11.31pm. I'm inclined to dismiss Shenguin's and Faceless's flip-flop votes, given the poll is still open and they have declared their votes contrary to Section 7.4 of the Electoral Commission rules on Voting Reporting and Impartiality * * or summat. I don't know. |

Trying to go to sleep now, but I've been tracking down hangpan music; I normally hate disco / electronica, but the setting makes this long set extraordinary...
Good night and sleep well
