but sometimes you get a “false elector” who legally overrides democracy and votes for a different candidate.

Genuine questions - how often does that happen? It can't be a lot, and it can't make the deciding vote, right, otherwise the whole system would have been ripped apart by the media long ago...

While true, the Tory party that won the last election looks a bit different to the gobshites that are in government now.

Don't get me wrong, I thought the last lot were assholes as well, but while technically legal, swapping out basically all of the government several times seems like a bit of a bait and switch.

I assume his slogan was "Well I'm not as bad as Priti 'fuck you I got mine' Patel"...

I suppose there's no consequences to these asshats not doing the actual job the People are paying them to do and instead trying to do what history will probably look back on as "a bit of light treason"...

Sainsbury’s and Tesco have also faced criticism for creating a two-tier pricing system, offering much lower prices to loyalty card holders.

“The vast majority of customers in supermarkets want to use Nectar because it saves them money. If you spend on average £80 this week and use Nectar Prices, you’ll save about £10 on your shop so customers really like that value.

Get in the fucking sea. Of course you'll 'save' money with a Nectar card if they have wildly inflated prices for non cardholders. The fact that this is happening in more and more supermarkets makes me want to start setting them on fire, and the bastards that come up with these plans.

It's like they're all reading the same copy of 'how not to be a garbage human being' and doing the exact opposite of each lesson...

It's security software - firewalls, VPNs, that sort of thing. It's not that it's not available anywhere else, but the Israeli stuff was always considered among the best before this conflict kicked off.

Ah, but from where I sit (a long way from the US), it looks more like a pissing contest between the Republicans to see who can be the most terrible human being in government, than it does look like any sort of actual policy or principal.

It's not about helping Ukraine, or avoiding the mistakes of Afghanistan - it's about trying to make Biden (and/or 'The Dems' in general) look bad, even if that involves civilian deaths.

Are they evil, Russian agents or just absolute clowns? It doesn't really matter, does it. The end result is the same.

Me? I'm a Brit. I loathe everything Trump stands for.

Enjoy a second Trump presidency!
