I bought a couple of scratch cards.. both winners... By mistake I tore one up and put it in the tall waste bin (kitchen).. A couple of days later I realised what I had done.. 
I dug around in the bin.. found the bits.. stuck them back with sellotape.. 
Eureka !!! the ticket number was still intact..
I think my luck is in.. Lottery win next..

Yes, of course.  I had forgotten about the trendy woke Lefties.  I'm surprised that they have managed to work out how to vote.  I'm sure that they know nothing about politics, but of course they certainly have their own ideas how to run the country!

I was also unaware of a large muslim population in Gorton, though it is the sort of place in which they would choose to congregate.

If a combination of those two particular types of people elect their own local government leadership, I imagine that two things will happen:
- the place will change to suit their own particular needs; and
- the money will quickly run out and the residents there will be off demanding hand-outs from the government.

My daughter found a lovely jumper for me in some stuff that her friend had given her for the charity shop... What a result..

Those water companies all get fined
Not that they ever seem to mind
They still pollute our rivers and seas
Then on our bill put a hefty fee

Enjoying a child's colouring book.. and Dot to Dot...

Don't forget the lippy Mups..

No car.. My granddaughter Hattie is collecting it today.. She went over a pothole yesterday and her exhaust dropped.. She heard the a loud noise.. It was dark .. It could have been anyone of the many we have around these parts..  She needs a car for work ..
Good job she has a Nanny who is happy to help and does not need a car for work.. ..
And has no appointments lined up for a few days... 

Dancing around in silly Pakistani costume with her hair covered .
No matter they will soon have her and the boob whisperer out and the Green Crescent in.

That woman spent the campaign kowtowing to the large Muslim population in Gorton, bringing in Urdu and Punjabi speakers and printing leaflets in their language.   So it looks like this local election has been won on a conflict in the Middle East.  Apart from that she sounds as thick as porridge !

You forgot the woke lefties - you know the ones who think men should be allowed to use women's changing rooms and toilets, laughing at a trannie should be a capital offence and go on Pro Palestine marches most weekends and have Immigrants Welcome banners in case there isn't one.

Quote from: Scrumpy on Today at 08:05:21 AMThat was supposed to be a Labour safe seat... Not so now..

All this shows is that Labour are on the way out..
Greens are more popular than Reform..
And Farage is not as big as he thinks he is..

I don't know anything about the Green party.. Very little about Farage..
But I do know that Starmer and his party are.. Crap..

There are (as far as I'm aware) two distinct groups of people who will have voted the Greens in.  The traditional working class people who have always voted Labour (though now know they can't) and the immigrants from the Third World.
Although we live south of Manchester, I wasn't aware that there are many non-white people in that area, though I admit that I rarely go there anyway.

I suspect that those who voted for the Greenies are the disenchanted Labour voters who now realise that Labour benefits no-one but their own MPs, so it could be that the Greenies are now the new Labour party.
