Perhaps there should be some sort of competency test to find out who is fit to vote ?

They were denied an 'official' Green Party candidate as well, but you seem to have ignored that detail.

Does this help ? https://www.virginmedia.com/virgin-tv-edit/tips-and-tricks/how-to-watch-apple-tv-plus-on-virgin-tv If not, you can access it from any Internet browser. And when you manage to get access, do try Slow Horses, as mentioned above.

As the song goes "The Christmas you get you deserve". There were 11 candidates, and more people voted for Gorgeous George Galloway the Gorbals Gobshite than any of the others. If they didn't know his past, ignored it, or went for the candidate with the best hat, it doesn't matter - they executed their democratic mandate and he came out on top. They could all have voted for the Independant local candidate who came second, but enough of them preferred the rabble rousing self publicist with no ties to the town, and proibably no intention of even opening an effective constituency office. No point crying foul after the event. He won't be their MP after the next GE.

Historically, those in Northern Ireland ? ( On either side ).

They didn't have to vote for him. It is their choice.

What makes you think the alternatives will be any better ?

Trucks full of food, massive crowd of desperately hungry people, nervous Israeli troops with loaded weapons. What could possibly go wrong ?

Eyewitnesses report many of the victims were run over by the trucks.

Of course he was, the Roswell alien confessed.

Apollo 11 suffered computer problems during it's descent to the lunar surface, used up more fuel than it was supposed to, came in too quickly on approach, and missed it's planned landing zone.

Enough fuckwits willing to donate to his appeals on Truth Social.

That nobody watches.

Don't forget the Japanese lander that also toppled over.

Perhaps an increase in Government income might help - maybe try raising taxes.

...if Mara and Sulemana had a brain cell between them.

This is a far higher level than Birmingham.

You could program a keyboard shortcut for that comment.

Is Fraser actually there ?

Manning doesn't look comfortable on a football pitch.

Generally what is happening is that Councils are shredding every non-statutory Department. That might be Libraries and other cultural services such as Art Galleries or support for theatres - Birmingham is closing down ALL cultural services. Some Councils have shut down CCTV monitoring in city centres, others reduce the number of staff working in services such as Planning to the minimum required to process applications to the absolute Legal minimum service level. Ancilliary support services for schools, such as peripatetic music teachers might be paid off, highways maintenance is pared to the minimum possible, ( pothole repairs etc ), and basically anything that is not specifically tied down by Statute is in the line of fire. Basically this boils down, for Unitary Councils like Somerset, to Education and Social Services getting ring fenced, everything else can go. In my particular case, a section of 45 staff was cut down to less than 30, with most of my work actually ending up being added to an existing outsourcing IT contract - without saving anything as the outsourcing costs increased.

Have a look and find out how many the 4 districts that combined to form the Council had previously cut in the last 10 years. Before it was abolished to form the Unitaries, Somerset CC had already cut £130M in the previous 8 years.
