I donât have a poster of Karl Marx over my bed.
Go on.
Never worn sock suspenders, and Iâm not aware itâs a left wing trope. Iâd associate it more with the right/banker/clerical class.
Nope.
Nope. If whatever the real world equivalent would be
ErmâŚnope.
Anything else from Mr Moral High Ground? He who throws insults loses the arguments, wasnât it. Do keep undermining your own righteousness.
Not for me. Spunking ÂŁ100m for someone to put a hat on someoneâs head because that person has decided that heâs too important to do it himself is not really my thing.
But each to their own
Yes with the exception that most of my post to you just responded to above is directly from Red Dwarf and you didnât seem to notice. Itâs almost like youâve never been to Bedford Falls. Insults? Youâre the well practiced failure there.
1800 vs 1440, gap narrowing.
1850 1550
2000 vs 1700.
Surprising.
2200 - 1860
Why?
On their own these numbers are relatively meaningless.
There are about 8700 councillors in England, with about 37% of them Conservative and 31% Labour. Only about 2/3rds of the seats are being contested this week.
When i last looked a few minutes ago the conservatives had lost over 800 seats, while labour were up just over 400 with about 20% of seats still to be declared.
This means the Conservatives have so far lost about a quarter of their councillors.
Itâs not looking like such a rubbish prediction now ;
Yep, they have lost over a thousand seats now with about 5% of results still to be reported. Thatâs close to a third of their councillors gone.
John Grace , predictably gleeful ⌠and very funny ;
Of, course I know they are from Red Dwarf. I watched it from the first episode to when it went shit.
Thatâs why I added whatever the real world example would be to the Reggie Hammond line.
Is Bedford Falls a reference to Itâs a Wonderful Life? As a fan youâd obvious recall that in the novel version of Better Than Life, Lister is obsessed with the film, and upon returning to Earth settles in Bedford Falls to run a Kebab Shop with a descendent of Kristine Kochansky.
Obviously.
Woah Keir. Fucking steady on lad. Iâve watch enough Liverpool games to know you havenât won anything at half time.
OoohpsâŚ
Great result for the Tories. Donât forget that this was an election in which a single random political commentator, writing when people could still remember what a Liz Truss was, predicted they would lose a thousand seats. As it is, they have only lost 962. So they have outperformed expectations, sort of.
It seems reasonable that they would prepare for the eventuality without making any assumptions.
BBC has them losing 1060 seats with 2 councils left to report?
