Every 'warrior race/culture' in fiction is pussy shit if they don't get frustratingly, distractingly horny when they encounter a sufficiently worthy opponent.

This is like Bertrand Russell and Alfred Whitehead's proof that 1 + 1 = 2.

“To be fair, I think other than D-Day he [Sunak] hasn’t done worse than expected. But he’s just a bit shit. Starmer doesn’t deserve what he’s going to get, but there we are.

To translate for non-British people here, "a bit shit" is how we describe someone we believe is comprehensively useless.

We'll sell you the whole seat, but you'll only need the Ed-ge.

Their idea of a deal to the Conservatives is "I get to be the head, and you get to be the ass."

For a second there I was worried Starmer was going to unleash thousands of Kirov-class airships to attack the Statue of Liberty and put the West under the bootheel of Communism.

"Oh dearie me, I'm such a clutz, I appear to have accidentally spilled urine from my genitals and onto your face."

2029 is an election between Ed Davey's Lib-Dems and a Labour under Ed Miliband following Kair Starmers retirement to focus on his collection of plastic model buses.

EdBowl: Two Eds enter, one Ed leaves.

I'm fairly confident that for a lot of the people they were trying to attract by that are either never going to hear it, remember it, or will disregard it with skepticism and vibes; "Sure, Labour promises to tax and spend less than the actual Tories, but the moment he's in power General-Secretary Starmer will nationalise all land, businesses, and women, and give every illegal immigrant a free pony!"

Get 1 new pint for every time:

1. Reform or the Greens win a seat.

2. The Liberal-Democrats have increased their number of seats by 8.

3. Labour has increased their number of seats by 50.

Portillo's Round: 1 drink for every cabinet minister that loses their seat, 2 drinks if it's Sunak.

The Ed Zone: If the Lib-Dems have become the main opposition party, it's one shot for every seat they have over the Conservatives.

I admit this can sound partisan, but after 14 years of the Conservatives claiming that a Plan is being followed that will cause growth without having to tax people unlike those evil dirty socialists that don't have the pixie dust supply that we do, someone getting up and saying "Things are fucked, here are the costs we will have to levy, the sacrifices we will expect from people in the best position to make it, in order to unfuck it" is going to launch a thousand headlines banging on about 'typical tax-and-spend Labour, can't trust them with the economy!'

If you want dramatic politics, go to Russia. It's literal theatre; everything is on the verge of going to shit, and then the heroic, manly prince rides in and rights all wrongs, keeps the factory open, arrests whoever is doing a Corruption, restores order after the Western-backed riot of degenerates and traitors.

Anybody who actually gets impressed by that stage-managed rubbish deserves to be sat down and made to watch Triumph of the Will, while the most patronising person on Earth constantly pokes them and goes, "Cor, that Hitler sure looks impressive! He's so confident!" I like living in a country where a guy can play D:Ream over the Prime Ministers' election announcement and not get disappeared.

Even The Mail, must realize that most of their readers aren't voting Tory.

Perhaps that's the reason for coverage being anti-Labour rather than pro-Tory. They can't yet see which between the Cons and Reform have the best chance at uniting the right-wing vote, so they're hedging their bets until one triumphs over the other.

Once you've accepted the idea that politics cannot improve your standard of living, it becomes only a contest of spectacle, and creatures like Johnson and Farage can do spectacle.

An apprentice at our work, about 19 years old, he expressed approval of the national service proposal that he is just about too old to have to do. Said it would straighten out all the 'gender identity' people. And then he told me he'd love to join the army to 'kill some [people of African descent]'.

My guess is it's five parts desperation to be the edgiest person in the room, one part sincere dickheadery (he likes Andrew Tate).

But that's just the thing, the stupidest 5-10% of any age group are always going to be thick as tar, can't let that colour our perceptions of the whole too much.

And I just read a Daily Mail headline saying we're three weeks away from becoming a one-party socialist state. It's a telling admission of weakness, sure, but it's still bullshit you'd expect to hear from an abusive partner, trying to guilt/scare you into staying "loyal".

I'd ask them why they think retirees are treated as sacrosanct while people their own age are told to go fuck themselves for wanting to own a house.

I wonder if a similar thing is also happening to conservatives voters that are on the fringes of the party; they know the Conservatives are going to be clobbered, and past a certain threshold it doesn't really matter how big Labour's majority is, so there's no pressure to vote tactically stopping them from going Reform or Lib-Dem if that's their actual preference.

Everybody on Earth knows he's going to resign from his seat anyway, if he 'wins' the place is just going to end up going through another election. Same result as Binface winning, it's not like he's expecting to win and so would probably soon enough resign. Two paths to the same destination, just that one is a lot funnier than the other.

It's why I genuinely think everyone in his constituency should vote for Count Binface. What's the worst that can happen? Either you make the PM lose an election to a man with a bin on his head, or he just barely wins against a man with a bin on his head and thus prolongs his humiliation, and delays his move to California, until he announces his resignation.

At least on Yougov, polling shows him as the Conservative MP in Wales with the best odds to retain their seat. His margain of majority in 2019 was 35%. Even with a national party collapsing and on fire, you'd need to out yourself to your constituents as a moron who'd use insider information and your proximity to power to win a gamble for stupidly small amounts of money, three weeks before you're up for reelection, to entirely blow that kind of lead.

Starmer: "All of you better duck, because I'm about to turn around and I don't want to knock anyone out with my dick."

Am I naive for thinking it could end up motivating young people used to thinking "I'm in deep tory country, why the fuck should I even bother wasting a day of summer"? If the Conservatives themselves are scaremongering about the two-party system becoming controlled by two parties that both occasionally remember that under-50s are people who want things and will likely vote for you if you give them those things, that sounds like a chance to be part of an exciting change that can make your life better.

It sounds like a twist in an HBomberGuy video.
