If this lot put a referendum up for a tax exemption that only applied to me I'd have voted no. I think there's only one more referendum in the life of this government and I'll vote no to it. I'll even be turning out to the local elections to vote against them. I've never turned up to a local election before in my life.

Turns out there's another ref in June

Basically want to transfer patent decision making in this matter to an EU wide court system.

Yep that's getting turned down as well

Yeah, I heard that during the week. I'll have so many ways to voice my dissatisfaction with the cunts that I may stop infesting the off-topic thread for a while.

Yeah! That upcoming referendum can go fuck itself, too.

As for the couple of lads commenting about not voting in oast local elections.
What the fuck, like!
Why are you pissing and moaning about the government that gets voted in if you don't even at least try to make a stand against them and place your own vote.

Ultimately there's only one way the cunts will or won't get in. So stop doing an Ellefson on the sidelines and fucking get involved.

[hellfire]

They've never bothered me in the slightest before. There's no meaningful policy decisions made by them. I couldn't name anyone who has been on any local authority in my lifetime. If I had concerns about the library or such before I would have bothered. Only showing up to this one as a punishment vote.

You are aware it was the local authorities and not the general election we were referring to?

Yeah the local council ones that don't really make any difference. General election is different altogether

[Mower Liberation Front]

Local elections are a fucking joke. Bunch of talking heads who keep getting in the paper saying what should be done, yet it's the unelected county manager who actually makes the decisions.
While getting paid more than what 90% of actual world leaders earn.

It's not even that they are useless they also cause problems. The local councillors where I live went up against the Government over a building that will be used for refugees and instead of stopping it after speaking with the local representatives the Government now plan to bring even more refugees to the area.

[hellfire]

That's so typical these days. The tide can be turned this year. A few more poor results should sober them up from the hedonistic woke session they've been at for a few years. Even the recent result seemed to have knocked them for six.

[The Butcher]

Local reps have slight control over property tax (which is based on your property valuation and the Local Authority Adjustment Factor), but regardless of how useless you think they are, personally I think it's still a good idea to vote as a way of protest, I mean, this is the worst government I can remember (and the 2000s FF bubble government were BAD!)

Do you fall for propaganda all the time or just when it's left leaning?

The style of that report vs reality is stark.

They did have one good line in there when they pointed out that the likes of dwyer take away from any genuine concerns that people have but of course if one has a brain they'll see through that.

I could write a lot more but it's hard to get the time with the few lynchings I need to get done before bed.

What's the Nigerian lad claiming asylum for? I work with a Nigerian lady and she assures me there's no war or famine there.

The madness can't be underestimated when one approaches it all from a perspective of reason, but when one approaches from a perspective of money then it makes a lot of sense.

I'm always aware of the fact that you're not living here when you post things about it and that's not me being smart with you, it's just me understanding why you don't understand.

I give 5 days a week dealing with the foreign lads and I don't even mind them because I only rate people on whether I think they're sound or not but that's missing the point that too many sound lads is just too many lads.

The Far right thing is just the government fucking with everyone

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

You don't half go off sometimes    It's a relatively lengthy report from a mainstream UK media outlet on the issue, take it for what it is, make of it what you will. You'd swear I'd shared a ten minute video of Paul Murphy

[Kunt 4 Life]

what came up in my social media recently was a trailer for a show called 'out of order' hosted by Rosie Jones and Katherine Tate and a big black girl. Thats not the shite part; I caught that on the audience's name badges they had their pronouns on them/they. Fuck's sake.

Yeah but you can see that is a dumb, hyper-biased video, so why post it, I don't get it.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

This is what Channel 4 News, a major UK media outlet, has reported about an Irish issue which has been discussed on here at length. Without even getting into the content (which naturally displays a certain bias, although by no means a "hyper" bias), there's no mystery as to its relevance to this thread.
