If you fail to vote you have no right to criticise the outcome of the election which will surely be a further decline in this once proud land.

If your choice wins and forms a government which will obviously prove useless then you can both complain and remove them from your list of those you will vote for ever again.

If your choice loses then you can have the nice warm feeling of not being responsible and having made an effort to avert the inevitable mess that follows.

Admittedly this means that eventually you will never vote Labour nor Conservative as they are the only parties that get elected. Of course the LibDems did enter into a coalition but that was a bit of a disaster for them as was alienating over half the electorate in a later one.

 

No sir it is your democratic right to vote and I would go so far as to say your duty too. Despite the utter futility of doing so.

I won't vote because I no longer care, it no longer matters to me who is in power, but I will still moan because I am paying my various taxes for services that neither party cannot or won't provide.

Of course getting a solution might be a bit trickier  :grin:
Thanks anyway.
If I open Facebook in Chrome, the notifications come up properly, so it might be a problem with Edge.

General Discussion / A serious question
Last post by JBR - May 23, 2024, 08:55:35 PM
In using Facebook, I have encountered a problem and asked for assistance at the site: 
"Contact Facebook Support team and help center" (yes, an American spelling).

I received a nice response from a person called John Hack, who describes himself as 'Admin', advising me to "Feel free to message the group admin they are here to support users who got their account disabled or hacked, message us now for help!"  
Clearly a bit of a prat, pratting about!  

However, I do have a problem with Facebook which I'd like to resolve, but I can find no means of contacting anyone who can advise.  Clearly, this site which I tried to use is not a genuine means of contacting the people who could properly advise me.

Does anyone know of the best place to seek advice, as I can see no obvious means of reporting a fault?

Made some focaccia bread without flour - not bad for a first effort.

One of the women's profiles caught Frank's eye
Goodness was that hemline high
She'd used a filter on her face
Of her moustache there was no trace

Some Americans seem to think they are all African Americans. Including those living anywhere in the world. These are the same Americans that criticise our slang term for cigarettes on the grounds of non inclusivity.

They often appear on Quora. It's possible that they are trolling rather than just being complete dipsticks. They are also often the same ones who are certain that their second amendment rights entitle them to bring their AR15s here for self defence. The usual reply is that they are of course correct and recommend putting one in each their suitcases.
