Andy Street lost the West Midlands election for Mayor to labour.

In an area of 3 million voters, he lost by 1,500 people.

That 0.03% of the vote.

YOUR VOTE MATTERS. Always.

might wanna calm down a bit on the sponsored FB advertising if i were you, Co-op live....

Sometimes I write aboutnerdy stuff here (sci-fi, films, etc.)

Sometimes Its politics and opinions

Sometimes Its just standing up to those who seem to want to oppress others (ok a lot of the time). Sorry not sorry about that, k ;-)

I'd not be so keen on doing the sponsored advertising on facebook if I were the Co-op Live arena, i tell you that much.

Wicker Man remake looks shit

This is a good follow list, thanks to Selene the anti-trans bigot for adding me too it!

Woot! Made a list

They seem to think people shouldn't have bodily autonomy over their own body, existence or identity.

I do.

If she thinks thats sufficient that makes me a 'retard', I wonder how quickly she'd change her mind if someone restricted her choices on her own body?

It'll be bad for a long time to come, because undoing the last 14 years of active neglect, managed decline and malfeasance to the point where the UK became a corruptocracy will take a lot of time. And thats even before anything else.

My hope may be misguided, but its all i have.

This is great.

For every Workers Party UK Councillor elected this week, there are over 250 Labour councillors.

I'd wager their intention to take seats such as Angela Rayner's are unrealistic, you know?

before:
CON - 893
LAB - 850
LD - 390

now:
CON - 461
LAB -1019
LD - 482

The number of conservative councillors has been almost halved, and they have gone from a 1st to 3rd and 43% of the number Labour won.

The word for this isn't 'disappointing', it is 'wipeout'.

A mate of mine (the lovely will hodgson) said the ethics of sesame street as basically “try to be nice, do what you can for people who are in the shit and don’t be a bigoted fucking arsehole”.

Spot on. I try to live my life that way. Sometimes balls it up tho'.

Oh, boy. Did i not expect this social media interaction today.

It affects me a lot less than it used to, but i still despair at people some / most / all of the time.
