    The irony in you participating in a EU election months after your "tick tock" stupidity, hilarious!
    The more hilarious part is, that the MEPs sent to the EU can't do anything anyhow because current brexit date is prior to any vote they could participate in.

    So he's basically cheering for the waterboy to score some points in the upcoming games!

    Assuming 50% turnout in EU elections then we are talking about 7-8 million Brexit Party voters, when you use percentiles it sure does make shit look a lot scarier than it is.

    Not sure about the likelihood of a GE atm when current polling says the Cons would lose 50 seats and the Brexit Party would pick up 7. Seems like a great way to a second referendum since we would end up with a Labour Remain coalition and it's glaringly obvious what the price of cooperation would be for Remain parties lol.

    Also talks between Labour and Conservatives collapse

    Oh deary me, you remainers, remember this saying?

    When they go low, we go high.
    13/11/2022 Sir Keir Starmer. "Brexit is safe in my hands, Let me be really clear about Brexit. There is no case for going back into the EU and no case for going into the single market or customs union. Freedom of movement is over"

    Repeating the words of the MEP candidates you are choosing to vote for is going low?
    I think child porn videos themselves are illegal ... but actually most child porn is not child porn because it's simulated, I don't want to go into the details of that ... but the, what i'm trying to say is, and i'm really not defensive about this ... which is it's important to not constantly be threatened and terrorised into backing off from a free speech position.
    Imagine voting for someone who thinks cracking down on internet child porn is dangerous for free speech

    Yep, there we go then.

    Back to square one.

    So, will it now be indicative votes in the week beginning the 27th?

  7. #16927
    Unbelievable! I mean who saw this coming! What a couple of days for unexpected political bombshells first Boris Johnson shocks everyone by stating he'd run for the Tory party leadership and now this!

    Never a dull day... huh?!?

    Whatever next??? Nigel Farage has been receiving money from Arron Banks???

    Ann Widdecombe's contribution to the Brexit party manifesto seems like a certain vote winner

    The implication being that Farage receiving half a million pounds a year from someone currently under investigation by the UK National Crime Agency is a joke to you?

    The sad thing is that single issue voters like Dribbles will still vote for them, no matter what the manifesto says.

    That poster is being taken down and Led by Donkeys have issued an apology.

    Because homophobes seeing the poster might use it to justify hate attacks, not because the quote is in any way inaccurate or untrue.

    Absolutely, but really not much you can do about people like that at this point.



    Thankfully, they are gradually dying out

    Edit - more Brexit party manifesto snippets

    I know you get frustrated when we hurl insults at Brexiteer's but when you need to pull down your satirical messages because you just realised that there is a good chance that your targets don't understand you are making fun of them........

    I have no issue with highlighting the views of the people who wish to hold a political office however I think the choice to use the words "Target Gay People" was poor to say the least.

    To be honest I liked what LBD did with Farage's march but I think that poster went too far and they have done the right thing by removing it.

    That's not their manifesto though, that's ByDonkeys smear campaign.

    And generally, if that single-issue is strong enough, parties that represent it grow until it gets resolved, then rapidly drop - as happened with UKIP both before and after Brexit won; another similar example is probably continued AfD growth.

    Thank you, genius. We couldn't tell by the disclaimer at the bottom of the billboard that says "They didn't write a manifesto, so we did it for them".

    I certainly don't disagree with their choice to remove the poster and issue an apology, it's just sad that they need to worry about this in 2019.

    Gl to 'em anyway, doing sterling work (mostly).

    Why is repeating what people have actually said a smear campaign?

    If they don't like seeing their own words, presumably they could just ... not say the words?

    Don't call it manifesto then?

    How do views on homosexuality matter one bit in Brexit decision?

    Or that some people will benefit from it, and support it because of that? No shit! And others will be hurt by it and therefore oppose it - should we dismiss them for that reason too? Got to listen only to purely neutral arbiters?

    Is satire prohibited in Russia or something?

    They show she's a reprehensible person who should be kept away from the levers of power.

    We should dismiss arguments that aren't backed up by facts. So, any pro-Brexit argument really.

    I think it would be entirely appropriate to put this to Widdecombe in an interview but on a poster where she has no ability to reply especially with that tagline... I'm not sure I'm comfortable with that.

    The 1983 Bermondsey by-election was the most shameful campaign in British political history and to be quite honest it worries me that we are heading the same direction with European elections.

    LBD days putting up posters could well be numbered as we are currently in a regulated election period and as such they should not only be registered with the electoral commission but be subject to spending limits. But I would guess that any breach of spending rules will be unimportant to some.
