All that considered if you want him out. Voting in the local elections is the only feasible way of convincing Tory MP to get rid of him.

 

I'm not at all convinced that even land slide losses will get rid of him. But it is the only practical or legal way to do it

The best thing I've seen you write on this site so far. 

 

I totally agree, we ALL need to get politically active in our local areas, start getting a group of you, friends, colleagues and start getting elected to your local council. You don't have to join a party, you can go independent and only require 10 people's signatures for this. It's definitely something I'm looking into right now because I'm fed up. 

 

I was warned by my father they'd only out vote me and I said that was fine, but it would depend what it is they're voting against, because after that I'd just look to expose the corruption and seek to oust these arseholes out. Can only do so by exposing their nefarious shit. 

 

I am equally aware by this point that people would no doubt come after me, but I'd rather die on my feet than my knees and as you quite rightly pointed out, it's the only legal means necessary to engage these pricks. Play them at their own game. 

 

Who's with me? Tumble weed........

It's not particularly hard to get yourself as a candidate for one of the established parties. Just say all the right things. Then once elected they cant get rid of you for years.

 

You can amuse yourself just messing things up and gobbling off whilst collecting your expenses.

 

A sort of nigel Farage of the local council

Apologies if this has been posted before:

In vitro anthelmintic effect of Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) extract on parasitic nematode, Marshallagia marshalli

 

Because of developing resistance to the existing anthelmintic drugs, there is a need for new anthelmintic agents. Tobacco plant has alkaloid materials that have antiparasitic effect. We investigated the in vitro anthelminthic effect of aqueous and alcoholic extract of Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) against M. marshalli. For investigating this effect, we prepared three dilutions of aqueous and alcoholic extract of Tobacco (25, 50 and 75 mg/ml). The worms exposed to extracts for 10 h at 25–30 °C. The buffer PBS used as negative control and 50 mg/ml dilution of Levamisole used as standard reference. In each group, 50 worms were examined. ......

I don't want anything to do with any of these parties. I'd rather go it alone. 👍

Hard to get elected as an independent unless you have some buring local issue to exploite. 

 

It seems fine by me to use there time money and resouces to be a wooden horse candidate to then expose them.

 

But I'm a cheap skate

In my opinion we don’t need any political parties and members of parties, what we need is totally independent MPs that answer to nobody other than the people who voted for them. Anyone who is a member of a party always has to toe the party line, which is absolutely what we don’t want as it is always the opposite of what is good for the people and usually goes against any common sense or logic.

I dont disagree. But that is not at all how the world ,at least this bit of it ,works.

 

We know the whole institution is corrupt. How can you ever hope to change that with Democratic means with out first putting you nose in the trough

You need 10 people's signatures to get the ball rolling, the rest will need me to campaign.

Go for it then. That's the easy bit. The rest is quite a complex and possibly exspensive exercise of raising your profile enough that the small % of people who actualy vote and may very well be life long labour or tory voters have heard of you sufficiently they change their voting habits 

 

That's why opposing an unpopular bypass or some such is a good starting point

It's not, this is why we need to get active on every local area and start taking effect at grass roots. It won't change if we don't try. 

I'm with you. The complete lack of intrest in local politics is to the deficient of our democracy

I'm not sure you need any Government or politicians at all. If your area needs a school, the community can club together and organize the building of a school. They can decide what their children should learn. If your community needs a hospital, then they can organize and build one. Security same.

 

Barring that competent dictatorship is preferable to me than idiotic, faux democracy.

Ask a woman, friend to be in a toilet nearby..... while you wait outside.

 

HI everyone. I was finally able to get my mother out of the hospital after I notified them that I was being made her Lasting Power of Attorney. I told them she was not to be put on a ventilator nor administered Remdemsvir or Midazolam and that she IS to be resuscitated should she flatline. She then made what I can only term a 'miracle recovery' as I was notified the following morning she would be arriving back that afternoon.

 

She is however not the same person as when she was admitted to hospital. She shuffles when she walks now. Her hair is falling out and she's just not the same. Reduced I would say. She told me that they gave her the bare minimum about of care because she hadn't been jabbed.  It's evil what goes on in there. It's changed both our views of the NHS. We both agreed we would never clap and cheer for the institution again.

 

Thank you everyone who asked after my mum and who offered support to me in DM's. I'm very grateful.

Spot on, mate. Party politics is wasteful and non-productive. We should be guided by our conscience, not party lines.

You're obviously so clever, so enlightened. Please tell me, how you would install such a dictatorship? Please prove to me that you're not just another pseudo-intellectual Don Quixote with fantastic visions. Honestly, I'm sick of people like you with your half-baked ideas. You really think you're so intelligent, but really you're just another dim wit. Prove me wrong with your amazing eloquence.

You take a snippet of what I said, then call me enlightened, then a dim wit - I wouldn't even know where to respond with this, so I won't further.
