'Up for grabs'......are 'Stampsies' also a valid election tactic ?.
Watch out for more public school attitudes towards a democratic process.

Now that we've cleared that up, perhaps you can explain the relevance for someone who never went near a Public School.

Stamping on a conker to win an event is the behaviour of a moron. More to the point it's the behaviour of a moron who went to a stupid school.

Chairman May says "I'm going to be campaigning out and around every community in the country." which suggests she doesn't know how many communities there are, or she's just making stuff up. It's not maybe Trump esque as it's more a figure of speech than a failure to acknowledge reality coupled with a lie, but it mat highlight why she's not keen on a debate

Let's give it a generous definition and say 650 constituencies, although there must be upwards of 100 communities in my own constituency, so that's more than 13 constituencies per day from now until polling day.

She must think she's fucking Santa.

Edit: Looked at the constituency boundary again. It's yuuuuge.

But shewerly we're all one, happy and united community? That means she cracks it from her own doorstep tomorrow after a lazy breakfast and then sits in front of the telly for the next 7 weeks watching Corbyn bury himself.

If only they'd made the changes to the number of constituency seats she could have made this a much more likely utterly impractical target.

Unless when she says she'll campaign around constituencies she means just that, and she'll be going around a lot of places to get to where she wants to go.

How about if you get to spit-roast Nicky Sturgeon with Jeremy?

Now he'd have to watch, obviously, and there would be a risk of eye-to-eye contact, but perhaps worth the discomfort to be party to the humiliation?

There is a group-sex option featuring all the main Scottish Political leaders - Wee Nicky, Kez, Big Ruff, wee Paddie, Runny Wully, Big Dave Coburn, and just for the spectacle, Speccy Mundell.
It's a bit fecked, though. Nicky and Runny Wully are the only straight ones, who would head off for a quiet corner, while the rest engage in a knife fight.

So effectively reducing the electoral franchise down to a drink and drug fuelled orgy-cum-punch-up - or your average Friday night in the RHF Corporals' Mess?

As long as there's no naked bar.

I'm tempted to change the name of the Lions thread to the RHF thread but nae cunt would get it, other than hp maybe.

I can imagine some might say I've set my bar a bit low but I reckon she'd be cracking good fun in the sack.
And a good chat afterwards.

I see Jeremy is trying Trump's 'drain the swamp' approach. Well, it worked for the orange one, so why not?
