Shame on you, Quids.


I think everyone should vote (unless you are currently in a hospital wing with your leg up in plaster). Even if you deliberately spoil your paper or vote with the flightiest of intentions, it's the least we can do in a democratic country.

You see PGC, I am, at heart, a middleclass, middleaged, anarchist (6)

It is because we live in a Democratic Country we have the right not to vote.


In Non democratic countries voting is compulsory but there is usually only one person to vote for

if you value your life.


Non Democratic.. You are not allowed to speak out against the Government.


Democratic... You can speak out against the Government but no one will Listen or take any notice.

Are you saying Australia is a non-democratic country? I'd say it's more democratic than the UK in a number of ways.


(Actually, it is not compulsory to vote. It is compulsory to turn up, get you ballot paper/s and put them in the box. There is no imperative to actually make a mark on it.)

Only a political illiterate could describe BJ as a fascist.


It takes a certain kind of leftist idiot to use the term as a shorthand for the "slightly right of centre" that Johnson promotes. BJ is perhaps more of a libertarian, certainly socially liberal (gay marriage, green & eco friendly etc), along with a pronounced desire for self determination, non tribal politics, low taxes and smaller government.

You don't understand the meaning of 'fascist'


You don't understand the meaning of 'parasite'.


You're not doing very well today, are you? There are on-line dictionaries out there to help you, you know.

Not bothered about the others woody but the latter? Quite right, and about bloody time!


I've had it with getting a half cup of coffee topped up with a tasteless white foam that makes my cup look fuller than it is - but is really just a rip off. Let's stamp it out and demand a full cup.


Froth Away Now!

as a missing the point tag team, you and MM are pretty good

There are only 10 countries in the world that have enforced compulsory voting: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, DR Congo, Ecuador, Luxembourg, Nauru, Peru, Singapore and Uruguay.


Of those I think it would be unfair to call them all non-democratic, possibly with the exception of the Congo which is down to the fairly constant civil war.

You did also say, "It is because we live in a Democratic Country we have the right not to vote."


In most non-democratic countries, voting isn't really on the agenda.

People have fought, been imprisoned and died for the right to belong to a TRADE UNION - a right still denied to many in oppressive regimes so everyone SHOULD join a trade union... No?... oh alright then. I suppose it's a choice thing.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
