Quote from: klondike on Today at 04:37:53 PMI wonder how many actual Greens voted for him. I suspect it was mostly browns.

I wonder?
There can't be that many Greenies in Leeds, just as there aren't that many Greenies in the country as a whole.

I can only assume that one of two things has happened.
Either most people have just given up hoping to elect a useful and competent person to represent them,
or, as I suggested elsewhere, he has taken advantage of the many muslim votes controlled and dictated by heads of certain families, whose word is law.

I hope not, I don't want to be robbed of watching all the ridiculous hopes of the 'new better UK' Labour supporters crumble as his sheer incompetence surfaces into the spotlight if he becomes PM.

Quote from: Cassandra on Today at 03:54:58 PMHere's the 'Greens' joining in local matters such as bin collections etc. Its been alleged that the local mullah provided lots of grotes to the cabbage suckers to let 'Mothin Ali' and his gang stand as neighbourhood 'Greens'.

Mothin has only been in England three years as well - is he mentally stable - of course he is - you know it makes sense.

Isn't modern Democracy wonderful close up ...

Mothin Ali latest 'Green' recruit

Good God!  Now they're joining the Greens!  He's done this, I'm sure, simply in order to get into a position of influence.  I wouldn't have imagined that the Green ideals form any part of his true religion.

I'm also surprised that the canny people of Leeds have been conned into voting Green, regardless of who was standing.
It has crossed my mind to wonder whether this man has taken advantage of the known means used by his people to obtain additional votes by the leaders of muslim families ensuring that everyone in their home, especially the women, vote as the 'family head' dictates.

I've bought a plunger from Screwfix, a blue one

  So do I.

Cassandra makes them so graphic it's as though I know these people.

I wouldn't like to bump into that mussie in the dark, although from that photo he doesn't look much bigger than me

Quote from: Diasi on Yesterday at 06:07:54 PMOnce again, thanks Cassandra for such a well-informed expansion of my post.

I love your graphic description of the assault & repercussions thereof in the underpass.

It almost sounds as though you were taking the piss out of the prosecution team.

Lol 

Actually Phil a colleague from my chambers took the brief as Prosecutor, knowing he had a zero chance before the ribbons were off the briefs. The twenty something oikh from Starmer's lot (DPP) had no idea at all about the law and had an 'ord' in bee-keeping I think! We all dined out on it for years as a 'post prandial' recollection.

The 'accused' weighed in at just under 19 stone of solid muscle standing barefoot at 6'5". I once saw an opponent hook him full on the left jaw and he just ignored it and kept coming. My mother was very fond of him and the Jury loved this big gentle man from the go! We of course looked quite comical together, little & large. He kept referring to me as 'my mate over there' to the great amusement of his 12 fans on the benches of decision. Very 'Arthur Mullard', a genial giant and a fine pugilist and staunch West Ham follower. His list of character witnesses ranged amongst the famous from the world of sport and journalism. In fact my pal, his prosecutor accused me of "winning six times over, just to rub it in". Lovely tiny wife, they worshipped each other. He retired the ring to general gardening maintenance, living in a beautiful self restored railway carriage in East Sussex, where they kept goats. Someone I was very fond of, a good friend at my side in bad times, many years after his moment of infamy.

The only possibility of not getting a Labour government is if they somehow end up with Corbyn back as leader. Other than that it's a done deal. My fervent hope is that it isn't just a thrashing but complete annihilation. The One Nation faction are already suggesting any shift to the right will lead to an electoral wipeout and urging more net zero, open borders, etc. etc. that is the chief cause of them being where they are now.  Only from a complete razing to the grass roots is there any chance of what comes from the ashes is even remotely Conservative.
