You couldn't make it up, yet the Tories are more popular than ever,  in the poles... I think the vaccine gives short term memory loss.

More popular than ever as there is simply no real alternative.

The voter is being asked to vote for being bent over the barrel or being bent over the barrel with lube.

Both will be a pain in the arse, one just slightly more tolerable.

I wont be voting for any of them as it stands. If we keep supporting bad government we will keep getting bad government.

 

Find a good honest independent and vote for them come the next election. Wont take long for the big parties to see they are losing votes and amend their ways. The power is in our hands but we seem to forget that

 A guy clambering into his own car in front of three cops can hardly be stressful. 

I disagree?

What does he have in his car? a gun? knife? Is he going to run you over? etc.

Unfortunately police officers are far more likely to be shot by a black person than a white person. They are just scared and are wanting to be the one who shoots first.

Although the police in America have killed a lot of black people, black people are far more likely to be killed by another black person than the police.

Of course it can as thankfully we still live in a democracy.

 

Let's use the system to change our politics. It is that simple but we have to hold our nerve at the ballot box and vote for the long game not who is less bad for tomorrow

The post office managers who were wrongly accused of stealing money should be in for more than they were accused of stealing I should think . Some are dead now but it has ruined most of thier lives from that day onward .

At the point in discussion the guy's just getting in the car; he's not at the wheel, engine running.  Of course we don't know his intentions but at that stage and with three on one there's no need to panic - especially with 26 years service behind you!  Be alert, be ready for anything yes - jump on him but don't get carried away.

The arrogance of the PO in pursuing the matter years ago is unbelievable.  Anyone could see that there was something obviously very wrong going on and I don't mean the postmasters.  Dozens of lifetime honest, hardworking folk suddenly filching thousands of pounds from the PO and being arrogant enough themselves to think they'd get away with it?  It had 'this is just wrong; the software needs close examination' all over it yet the PO shut its eyes and ploughed on.

Terrible for the victims, inexcusable by the PO.

Green party?
 
 

They'd be a good option, they've obviously got their priorities in the right order. Sadly though unless/until we can reshape our electoral system to something more like Proportional Representation they'll always be a "wasted vote" in our broken system.
