That was my thought as well, however not 100% convinced?

Good to see that missing 1973 episode of Doctor Who was finally found.

It is Alan Rough, I think

Especially as they will have been pumped in the Champions League a few days before.

This is the squad for Joe Harper's international select, so it's one of these: Joe Harper Select Teamsheet McCulloch (Kilmarnock), Stark (St Mirren), McLelland (Motherwell), Narey (Dundee United), Hegarty (Dundee United), Orr (Morton), McNeill (Morton), Smith (Motherwell), Scott (Dundee), Munro (St Mirren), Graham (Leeds United) Unused Subs: Rough (Partick Thistle for McCulloch; Fleming (Dundee) for Scott; Johnstone (Blantyre Celtic) for Graham

He better be.

When I say care, I mean the politicians and the press. I have no issue with people not voting. I'd be embarrassed to win a seat where the over whelming majority couldn't be arsed. Possibly why I would never make a politician. Voter turnout has been dropping for years, and I know a lot of folk don't bother with by-elections, but it's just a bugbear of mine. I just noticed at the Arbroath by-election yesterday, turnout was only 31%. The fourth ever lowest voter turnout. Makerfield was just shy of 60%, which was the same as the turnout for the whole of the 20245 UK election.

I’m puzzled at the SNP failing to get its vote out (it’s down by about 46%, it seems). Might it be because the unbearable screaming skull Jute cunt* was more popular than my former MP 2019-2024 - who I voted for to keep the Tories out in 2019? Very very strange, especially with a hugely-partisan World Cup in progress. I suspect the middle classes of Mannofield, Milltimber etc turned out. *I’d be interested to find out if the big operation he had on his leg a while back also included the insertion of an extra vertebra to enable him to sook his ain cock. “I’m proud to say that I once canvassed in Aberdeen wearing a Dundee United shirt”. You’d have had your knackers kicked up your arse had you appeared on my doorstep, matey. Disclaimer: apart from the foregoing, I hold no strong views on the matter. E&OE etc

Is it that they don't care, or that they don't see a tangible link between voting and outcome?

Just saw that the turnout at Aberdeen South was only 38%. A shocking figure, but nobody seems to care that 62% of the electorate couldn't give a fuck.

Dido - White Flag

She is a qualified accountant too, the same Institute as myself. We must be the poundland version of Accountants.

John Crace on good form today with his opening paragraph, in response to Liz Truss revealing Labours "secret plan" - get Burnham back to Westminster to challenge Starmer. "It’s one of the great philosophical questions of our age. Or any age, for that matter. If Liz Truss didn’t exist, would it be possible to imagine her? Could anyone conceive that someone so brain-meltingly dim could have once been our prime minister"

They had 14 years in power to save it but they’ll do it now, promise. I can fully understand how the electorate of Aberdeen South can feel a bit short changed by their options but fucking hell, imagine voting for them. Any thicker and they would set

You'd have thought he was deid given the reaction. Just piggyback him off and get on with it FFS. Game's gone.

Still in the pub?

Cream - White Room

The electorate failed to grasp that the Tories helped kill it whilst in power. Going to be an interesting few weeks/months ahead anyway.

Dodgy - In a Room

Lenny Kravitz - Dig In

Watch him save the oil industry now! * * he can’t

A nice convincing win to start the season would be nice. Add to the diets misery.

Burnham wins Makerfield quite comfortably. Starmer to be put out of his misery soon enough. Tories win Aberdeen South Douglas Lumsden an MP. No wonder nobody cares about politics anymore.
