The 2024 UK General Election

[harrybarracuda]

The UK has announced a general election on 4th July.

All the polls suggest the Labour party could score big, except... well Keir Starmer.

Who do you think is going to win?

And what are the issues that will be at the core of the election debate?

As an aside, Nigel Farage has decided not to run as he sees "his work" in the US General Election to be more important.

Obviously "important" is a euphemism for "lucrative".

The egotistical twat obviously likes getting cheered on by brain dead trumpanzees, not to mention the money he can earn dog whistling to them.

At the moment the Labour Party have an 11% lead over the Tories.

2 years minimum conscription or it ain't worth it.

Could the UK start conscription?
















When asked in 2023 about the possibility of conscription, a spokesperson for the prime minister said: "There is no suggestion of that. The Government has no intention to follow through with that. The British military has a proud tradition of being a voluntary force. There are no plans to change that.

Stupid, lunatic idea, and anathema to any professional officer cadre.

Punjabi Boy is clearly deranged in his increasing desperation to avoid going down in history as the worst losing Tory Prime Minister.

Modern armies don’t need fodder, they need an expertly trained human interface that supports and complements the technology involved in today’s killing. The Russians are using human waves supported by artillery simply because Biden won’t allow the use of the requisite ordnance to destroy them as they form up over the Ukraine border and has delayed the supply of aircraft preventing air superiority. If Ukraine had had a functioning modern airforce and the ability to launch long range missiles the war would be over.

Back in 2003 the US destroyed Iraqi defences and occupied the entire country with a mere 160,000 men in 26 days. With today’s even more accurate and devastating ordnance the boots on the ground would probably be even less.

^ That would be better coming from the Green party.

They should add some oak and elm, too.
