The former Prime Minister had to stand next to this guy in a solemn legal proceeding while the vote counts were announced. Binface was never going to win, but by god he was going to make Sunak pay for it.
Yes, we beat the Germans in 1966 and people still won’t shut up about that…

Is that a pine cone, or has AI gone nuts on the teeth again?
You know what? That’s fair. You’re actually mostly right.
I disagree that the position of president isn’t as important as people think - as you you found out during the Trump presidency, a president can potentially pick several Supreme Court justices, and given some recent rulings, it may already be too late to fix that arm of government. Plus as the head of state, they are one of the biggest symbols of national identity.
And as such, telling people they don’t necessarily need to worry about voting for them is dangerous, and I think it undermines your argument that there are other roles to vote for on the same ballot. If low voter turnout is a problem, and they don’t want to vote for arguably the important role, why would they bother going out and queuing at all?
You’re wrong, but it’s not your fault.
First Past The Post is a terrible system. We have it in the UK and we’ve had governments formed by a party that got less than 40% of the votes (as in, people ago actually voted, not including eligible voters who did not cast a ballot).
By any objective measure, “60% of people did not want these clowns in charge” is not really what I’d describe as “democratic”.
So that needs to change. But until it does, that’s the game. And unlike Wargames, you can’t win by not playing.
Not voting for Biden (however bad he is, he is objectively the lesser of two evils), whether not voting or voting third party, is giving Trump’s votes more weight. Yes, that’s shit, no, that’s not fair. But that’s the way the system is right here right now. Deal with it. Vote Biden or you are implicitly saying you’re OK with Trump.
I’ll take a personal day. Maybe I’ll watch, maybe I’ll just slob on the sofa, we’ll see…
Alright, Columbo, calm down.
Ok, legit sremoved from that, but I do approve of the way they showed their working.
Edit: do I have to write “snicker” like an American? Does some bot suffer from the Scunthorpe problem here?
What’s wrong with Neil’s beard?
Depends how bad at walking they are…
Sure, but the guns help.
Try for a mass casualty event with some knives. It’s doable, but you have to work for it.
