He is also very poor in the air. Happy to see him on the bench but we need better to start.

Wheeling out Johnson for a last minute Bellingham moment is the latest in a very long line of campaign missteps that makes you wonder if the people running the campaign set out to lose it from day 1. If anyone was wavering and saw the bloated, pasty faced, posturing berk spouting his inverted pyramid of piffle last night they surely would end up voting for anyone else but the Tory Party.

We have had two leaflets from the Tories and two from the LibDems but nothing from anybody else. Not seen any boards, banners or window stickers around. No canvassers have been spotted in the area. I’m sure the parties must be more active elsewhere but I have never seen such a lacklustre effort from all parties in an area for a General Election.

You were the one disputing whether you could pack tens of thousands of people into an outdoor arena and I gave you examples of where that has happened. You are the contrarian Weston.

Duckie decided to make Glastonbury (and the BBC) all about a class war and the Tosser class have apparently taken over the festival (and the BBC) from the Trots and the working classes…or something.

Head of state then head on a pole.

You missed out hypochondriac. If they were an Indie band they would be called The Baby Reindeers.

This should be played every hour on every TV station tonight. The trouble is millions of people will still vote for the Tories and some will even call out Pie’s rant as “pony.”

Some Tory idiot on the radio today saying that Labour will give broken Britain another 5 years of the same, whereas the Tories are the party of change (having spent the last 14 years breaking Britain). WTF?

Another spot on article about this debacle. https://amp.theguardian.com/football/article/2024/jul/02/jude-bellingham-part-england-euro-2024-instability-gareth-southgate

Another old’un on his way here, Martin Braithwaite?

Yes, I wasn’t expecting it. How did yours come out? National Socialist?

You’d think he was Turkish, not Portuguese. 😉 The Dutch finding form now. Should have put it to bed much earlier but a comfortable win and Gakpo had a great game.

You certainly are an odd little fellow, aren’t you?

How many other democracies have a head of state who is above the law? You won’t find anyone who doesn’t have a hard on for dictators who thinks this is kosher.

This sums you up perfectly Duckie. I bet you are a right bundle of laughs down the local ale house. Tosser class or 70’s racist, misogynist, homophobe, xenophobe, Islamophobe??? I’m happy that I don’t share your opinions thanks. Perhaps next time try and use your own words, as much as you struggle with anything other than Anglo-Saxon. I’d never heard of this bloke before but it appears he was a screaming pinko Trotskyist, an odd bedfellow for you apart from he seems to have turned into Farrageist Gammon nowadays.

You said that tens of thousands of people were unlikely to be “packed in” to an outdoor arena (see above if you have forgotten). I gave examples of where tens of thousands were “packed in” to outdoor arenas. You seem to struggle with the concept so perhaps you are the one having issues with senility?

Ok, so it has fences and doors (of course it does) so how do people just wander in like a park? I mentioned outdoor concerts where tens of thousands of people were packed in. So you agree that it happens?

Insane signings?

I did wonder about all of the crazy stunts but he pointed out that it was all about bringing attention to the party and their policies and it has certainly worked. I used to think that he was a bit of a non entity but he comes across as a decent, down to earth bloke and to see him with his disabled son can only restore your faith in the humanity of some of our politicians.

I had forgotten the U.N’s International Court of Justice. I thought that they just dealt with issues between countries but apparent they also give legal advice/rulings for individual country’s internal affairs as well.

I don’t recall it being an issue before, so why now? Just a panic knee jerk response by the Tory election machine now picked up by the political commentators?

Nick Ferrari made a big deal about it in his interview with Wes Streeting this morning. I wonder if he just forgot that “Dave” Cameron said that he would make time for a date night with his wife every week when he was PM. Jumped on by the Tory press too. Pathetic.

This is for you Batman. One of the very many media articles about the effect that Reform is having on the Tory vote. It would be strange not to comment on it on a thread about the election would it not? https://amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/jul/02/sunak-most-tory-seat-reform-canvey-island-essex

Impartial, when Trump chose several of the judges? As to how many layers, that is the argument for/against something like the ECHR. One of the arguments in favour of the ECHR is that it provides checks and balances to state legislature and provides protection against government interference into state legislation. Many Americans themselves accept that this is an abuse of power and that the decision is biased and wrong. The problem they have is that they have no where else to go. There are no checks and balances and it opens the door to future Presidents having the absolute power of a dictator. In answer to your question, one, an independent international court of appeal where the best legal minds on the planet sit in judgement and as a final arbiter of justice.
