If you seriously wanted to put a dampener on Reform recruiting people to stand as councillors, the most effective way would be to ban parish councils from having any input into the planning process.

The worst video game fandoms are the games where you don’t need to understand the game to be good at it.
Working in a warehouse when the EGRC guidance comes out is just making me wonder which security guards actually understand this, and which ones are going to use it to be a cunt to anyone who looks even slightly gender non-conforming.
I don’t think the US will do a large scale invasion of Iran, there’s not a big enough build up of US forces. But I would not rule out the US doing something very, very stupid at the moment.
I still don’t under the “focus training on local economies” thing Burnham is pushing. Does this mean he’s going to make Warhammer a part of the school curriculum in Nottingham?
All I’ll add to the Covid discourse is that some people went very weird, especially in the early days. Travelling by bus to my dubiously essential job it wasn’t fun getting shouted at by members of the public. Let alone my mum (who was a carer) getting hassled repeatedly.
Could mens bio’s on dating apps get any worse? Yes, thanks to AI they can! Literally so many obviously AI written bio’s now that are just dreadful.
Fucking hell Big Pus’ dies right after there was a big trend in the “is that ok Tony, that I sit?” meme in Soprano’s meme groups on Facebook.
When Britain decides to grow up and be normal again, they should jail anyone who’s described themselves as an auditor. Even if it ends up putting away a few people who had a real job that just happened to have it in their title. It’s acceptable collateral.
The depressing thing about Trump is no matter how embarrassing his administration gets there’s always going to be real dead enders for him two decades down the line.
And the 40K whiners have combined with the Helldivers whiners. Oh no you didn’t get the super niche regiment armour, the chain sword (like the game didn’t already have something similar) and no (standard) lasrifle? Grow up.
Wearing the Making Plans for Nigel guillotine shirt but making it clear that I’m a Restore supporter who thinks Farage is a race traitor so everything is ok.
Forget female Space Marines in 40K they should do a story about a non-binary Space Marine, where all the others are confused about what honerific title they should be called while the Marine gets increasingly pissed off as their ignored.
“Total War: Warhammer 40K treats infantry too much like a Napoleonic game” boy do I have some news about actual 40K!
I think whoever runs Reach Plc should be in jail. No I won’t pay £1 to access your barely functional website.
Andrew Bridgen is someone who I expected to join Restore but I didn’t expect it to come from an announcement of a ticked event from my local Restore branch.
The best part of social media is the fact that someone like me, an objectively uneducated, intermittently employed warehouse worker can get under the skin of well connected academics and journalists through the power of posting.
One very annoying fan you can find on the internet are Starfield fans. Yes all five of them cannot accept any criticism of their favourite game.
It’s weird how the UK doesn’t really operate on “polite” bigotry anymore and there’s still the odd people who assume it does and still trot out lines like “you have to win the argument” and “you’re convincing no one with that attitude” like people aren’t talking about exterminating minorities openly
Kudos to the two random cats in my street that decided to have a scrap and set off two car alarms.
Maybe the social care sector wouldn’t be in the shit if they paid people who work in it decent wages?
Sneaker Pimps has to be one of the worst band names of all time.
I don’t think you can separate transphobia/anti-queerness from Britains trend towards far-right radicalisation. It’s been a key part of it so if you are one of the Brits who see Musk as bad but transphobia as being ok then you are a bit stupid to say the least.
My idea for rebooting Dr Who would be a larger and much more expansive central cast, possibly starting The RZA, The GZA, U-God, Inspectah Deck, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon the Chef……….
The only good use of Meta glasses I’ve seen is someone putting them on their dog. I should probably try and find that account again to double check that the dog has not been used to upskirt people though.
A weird cross cultural thing is gambling app sponsors are popping up in similar frequency in Russian instagram reels as much as the US ones.
The new female ODST in Campaign Evolved seems to be a very Woke 1 coded character from the reactions I’ve been seeing. I’ll leave it until I play it to decide if it’s Woke 1 (laudatory) or (derogatory) until I play it.
I do hate to do this but I have to commend Lib Dem’s for being probably the best party at always opposing Reform at the local government level.
A very annoying type of guy on Facebook, one who always pops up in the comments of videos posted by comedians saying stuff like “it would have been funnier if you said…. 😂😂😂” and it’s less funnier or completely unnecessary.
Going off of vibes but the A-10 is starting to feel like the US Air Force equivalent of the re-activated battleships.
