He might be cosplaying as a space alien with a bin on his head, but he's usually got some quite reasonable policies. As I recall, moving the hand dryer in a certain pub to a more convenient location features prominently in his manifesto.

They should put this guy in charge of something. Nothing vital, obviously.

I learned his platform was that 99s (ice cream bars) should cost 99 pence, which is a genius and absolutely correct campaign platform.

I mean, I dunno, given that his stance on Brexit ("It will be a shitshow") was far more correct than a lot of the people who WERE in charge of vital things, he can't do much worse.

I was in Bradford & the LBA airport a lot. Was like being in a Monty Python skit that just kept repeating:)

Seeing him formally walk in along the other candidates ws surreal

So much for that silent majority the terfs are always on about.

She got 0.5% of the vote. You need 5% to get your deposit back. She's squarely in the joke candidate category.

All she's got left to to do is to Posie Park her car to the nearest reseller to cover her costs. Rip bozo.

Not to be confused with Parker Posey, who isn’t British and as far as I know is not a TERF asshole.
Avatar
right? this always throws me and seems vastly unfair to Parker Posey.
Avatar
Especially since it's not her real name! She could use that and not be confused with a decent person. But then, she could do a lot of things very differently, and that would be nice too.

Oh, some actual good UK election news for trans people? As a treat? Thank you!

In other good news for trans people, Joanna Cherry lost her seat.

To reiterate, Parker got 0.45% of the Bristol vote. She’s literally a rounding error.

When she toured 'the colonies' last time, she ended up backed by neo-nazis while she ranted in Melbourne. So in every other location the protesters were chanting "Posie Parker, you can't hide, You've got Nazis on your side". So this didn't help her tour.

Which given the party’s trans problem is great to see from the co-leader.

Joanna Cherry lost her seat as well. An extreme minority of people are raging transphobic bigots in real life. Online transphobes would do well to remember that.

I’m assuming the Green Party in the UK isn’t the money laundering libertarian sham it is in the US and Canada.

Your assumption is correct.
