Hopefully they'll decide not to become Reform 2.0.

Again the majority of fuckwits won't read it as it's Littlejohn and Daily Mail, but I found it a good read, with a few tongue in cheek suggestions.

A six week election campaign !! Well that's the vast majority of us avoiding news/tv/social media for the next six weeks - mind you most of us do that anyway.

So what do you think will happen at the election?

At the moment I'll go for -
Con 10%
Lab 20%
Others 10%
Undecided 20%
They Can All Fuck Off 40%

That's a lot of undecided people for the Tories to go for but as a right wing person I accept they don't deserve to stay on.

So Labour 350+ seats.

I'm fed up to the back teeth with it already, and it's only day 2, still, it's good to know that the rest of the world has stood still, well, according to the news media anyway.

I think Sunak is going to play the scrappy underdog in 100% stage managed events. Starmer is going to play the reliable middle manager in 90% staged managed events because unlike Sunak he seems able to talk to humans.

Probably, which is also why he's hedging towards TV debates where Rishi's tech bro grasp of the detail will he thinks give him an advantage but it'll just end up being a meaningless stat bash wank fest. Still, genuinely shocked how poor Starmer was this morning on the radio.

Starmer has always been poor, whether on the radio or at PMQ''s, he doesn't seem able to process the answer to the question but just reads off his script, like one of those cold call bods reading who have to get to the bottom of the page before he gets cut off.

Oh, fucking hell ... they want a Debate between the leaders.
At least an hour of Prime-time TV given over to something no-one wants and no-one needs and which no ordinary voter will watch.
What a marvellous use of all the Earth's electricity.
"I let you speak, now you let me speak" and so on.

Just interview them one at a time, if you absolutely have to, and then clip the highlights to Youtube or "X-formerly-Twitter", and then fuck off.
Most people, let's face it, know right now how they'll vote. What's the fucking point in any of this? :-)
