Let's see if a third happens
Is there a third whistleblower?

Off the Record / Re: Brexit and the waning days...
Last post by Sheilbh - Today at 07:10:57 PMWell I've always thought that was a little overblown 
But, you know, the UK has no right to existence and we may well see independence for the constituent nations or unification with Ireland. Unionists need to make that case and the UK needs to prove its value to all parts. At the same time the SNP don't have a right to govern and independence isn't inevitable, they also need to make that case and prove there's value in that path.

Let's calm down. I was not alive during the time of the Anti-Chinese Exclusion Act, and wouldn't advocate for such today. I was simply pointing out what was legal.

Separately SNP below 30% in the polls for the first time in 10+ years :w00t Labour have the lead there so map of Scotland at next election may look very different, especially if there's unionist party tactical voting as happens in Scottish elections.
So the UK: not waning?

Last post by Josquius - Today at 03:53:49 PMThe Marvels - very Meh. Had to do a lot of reading as it went along to check who people were and why things are this way.
The 306 year old guy confuses me.
It's a shame as it does seem to have a lot of the pieces where it could have been good.

Last post by Josquius - Today at 03:51:58 PMGood times.
Though fecking smoggies.
Also worrying noticed locally second place in Sunderland was the fascists.
I'm hoping this was purely down to the candidate having a Sunderland address. The Sunderland press has been moaning about Newcastle centiricty and how awful Tyne and wear was.
Of course always a chance it's something darker. Sunderland is the brexit poster child after all. There's serious issues there.

Young woman with an interest in the 1960s gets into fashion school in London, but London can be overwhelming. Pretty good, it managed to keep my attention all the way through.
I loved it. Well apart from the Cilla Black references...
I loved it too. Seem to remember critics weren't too impressed but I enjoyed it.

Last post by Sheilbh - Today at 03:26:52 PMSo Street lost.
That means of the 11 mayoralties up for election this year, the Tories lost 10. Houchen, who held on, saw his vote cut by about 15%.
Tories lost about half their council seats up for election and, in councillors won (at this election), came third behind the Lib Dems - Professor Sir John Curtice says it's the first time he can think of that happening (sure he'll look into it but would absolutely trust him to get it right off the top of his head).
Absolutely dreadful results for the Tories. Would still be mad but starting to feel that a challenge to Sunak might happen.
Edit: And fairly plausible that Sunak is personally responsible for the Street loss given that Street's personal brand was about delivering stuff for his region - and Sunak then had the Tory party conference "relaunch" in Birmingham, in that region, where he announced he was scrapping that bit of HS2. It'd take a heart of stone not to laugh.
