Reform, who are the party founded on the principle that what we need in this country is leadership like Trump, got a lot of councillors, and as you'd expect for that raison d'etre, in the short time since the elections several of them have been suspended from the party, removed from office for public racist outbursts, quit because they realised what being a councillor is, quit because they realised they're not a leopard even though they're part of the leopards eating faces party, that sort of thing.

At this rate Reform won't have anyone to stand for election in the general election which their supporters (and leader) seem convinced they just won.

But for every one who's thrown out on their arse for being a shitstain of a human like a whacky waving arm inflatable tube fucker inflated purely with dog whistles, all I can think is, the second largest part of the electorate where you stood thought you were the best person for this job despite you being so demonstrably shit at it.

And the largest part of that electorate just couldn't be fucked one way or the other and let you walk in.

"Oh no-one stands for me so why should I vote for them" fuck off.

Someone's standing against you. Someone's standing against someone you love.

Pattern Time!

Nifty little language game here.

I can read back to 1500 with basically no difficulty

at 1400 I have to read slowly and carefully, but I can understand all of it save a couple words

at 1300 I can still comprehend most of it if I read slowly, but a much larger percentage of the words are unfamiliar to me, even with context
