Although I will never vote Labour again, I do hope my mate Wendy Dwyer retains her seat in Peel War.

The Conservatives aren't standing, and her only opponent is someone who's posted quite a bit on this forum.

Wendy is a very good person, and a fighter. Old school, when it comes to politics.

I wouldn't rate his chances.

Oh yeah she seemed nice. She knocked on my door a bit ago

I want my protest vote to actively count towards something I believe passionately about.

I could protest by spoiling my paper with smeared dog muck.

But it's an issue that I don't feel that strongly about.

I've got to know her quite well, over the last few years.

She understands my stance, and doesn't badger me about it.

Well maybe a little.

I'm glad she's not a councillor in my ward, as she's one of the few people I'd find it hard not to vote for.

Regardless of her party.

Don't get too silly.

There are some people who I could never support.

Standards, of morality.

Meaning I'd never support the B.N.P.

Or you.

Anyway, leaving Nancie's new obsession aside, back to the local elections in Hyndburn....

Oh, and as for being a 'control freak'.

Someone needs to keep an eye on you, and your fellow freaks, for your own safety.

So it's the least I can do.

Give, give, give.

The likes of you & C'mon labour diehards, Jaysay Blue through & through, then there's all the other leanings & tendencies. Liberals, Nationalists, Patriots, freedom & rights folk it's pretty inclusive really.

As they say each to their own & all that, I mean, if folk aren't prepared to listen to some Politico spouting off about all that's good & right about their party, why should Rindi's view sway the average voter ?

Don't get so uptight about it, because regardless of what happens & whoever gets in one thing's certain, Joe Public isn't going to reap any rewards believe me.

I'm only a Blue because I know how much it gets up Mancie's nose

I never was and never will be a bigot, who hates people just for where they put a cross on a ballot paper, mind you that's not bigotry really that's childish stupidity, which after all that's what you become after years of addling your brain with alcohol

jaysay · 08-04-2012, 09:58

Well I guess I won't be voting this year

I know a few Methodists & Muslims that are bitter & twisted, what's their excuse?
At least drink can give you a short release from your inner torments as you stagger home trying not to kiss the pavement.
