Both D and I are personally delighted that the cruel Tories – whose priorities are vile – have finally been kicked out of power.
We thought we were disenfranchised back in England. We kind of are, which is one of the reasons my year off of operations, rehabilitation and recuperation will take place in Japan.
But there is nothing acceptable to either of us about the Conservative Party’s basic mindset : ‘austerity’: fuck anyone vulnerable, keep the rich afloat – a policy that disgusts me to my cells – which is why d – unlike me, to my shame – made the humongous effort to vote, with the new legislation allowing expatriates to vote from overseas if they have the adminstrational stamina – to send in all the forms :via proxy; getting an old school friend in Norfolk to vote against the Cruella De Vils ( but without the Dalmatian fur coats and the vintage Dioressence) ——- and spring those bowlegged, shirt hanging, grossly overentitled port- swilling horsey fuckfaces ; – at least temporarily……. out of power.
As we all know, politicians, in general, are self serving, corrupt and bloated, fictitious c****s. I have no doubt that this next government will eventually turn out to be a wormy peach.
But for the time being, just a BIT of compassion; a little more equity : a diminuation in the selfish and horrible, self serving cuntness —- a tad more general humanity, in essence —-—- certainly would not, at least from this far away household’s point of view ——- ——— — go amiss

Such a relief, yes! But such a long time coming, and untold damage done to the country in the meantime.
One of the very few good things the Tories did do was allow expats who’ve been away for more than fifteen years the chance to vote. So you might not be quite as disenfranchised as you thought.
Oops, clearly didn’t read your post as carefully as I should! I see you already know about the voting arrangements – sorry. As you were 🙂
BUT I COULDN’t FIND MY BIRTH CERTIFICATE or any of the necessaries – kudos to the d for spending many a night fretting over internet red tape – he got our vote through, for which I am proud.
They are bastards. No empathy.
Very welcome news indeed
Oh, my thoughts exactly. Every single word. Such a relief, but tempered by the horror of the poisonous Farage gaining more followers and a seat in Parliament. He is Tory on steroids.
I think, believe, hope that Starmer is a moral man and although it seems inevitable we will be disappointed in the end, at least the Labour government is not a Conservative one, not full of cruel, greedy, lying slugs. Here’s hoping for the best.
Wishing you so much good luck for your operations.
All that is still a year away – if I can survive that long ( I mean this literally, in case anyone is interested ), but thanks
And yes : may it all be a lot less slugless
I am interested and feel for you – you must be in so much pain. Even though you hope that all the procedures will eventually bring relief, you are suffering torture every day till then, and the coming months of anticipation will be extraordinarily stressful. My heartfelt good wishes to you.
Very happy for you, and us all. a civic conscience will hopefully repair some of the damage done. If it hadn’t been raining this morning (and I hadn’t been working), I would have been dancing in the streets. Tonight, drinks with friends, some of whom may not be on the same side of the political divide. But I’ll be wearing a celebratory Tuberose and Moss (Rogue), with a bit of YSL Champagne on top!
You are better off than we are. If the Orange Man Felon wins the presidency again, we are doomed.
Do you think Biden should stand down
yes
It’s a tough call. It is still hard for me to know that there are lots of people in this country that still will vote for that felon. He should not even be allowed to run after all the evil things he has done. All I know for sure is that if the felon wins, this country is doomed.
They say Rishi Sunak and co have left the economy in better shape than when they started … but at what a huge cost to ordinary people.. Itis time the super rich started handing out some of their dosh intead of expecting the poor to pay for everything. Sunak could have paid for a few things himself as could the Royal Family. what a pack of tossers
Saw a hilariously dejected photo of Sunak and spouse out front of #10 Downing Street.
Not bothering to vote in the US presidential election due to expat administrational overload too.
What a dearth of leadership the world is suffering…
And yet are we not also being c****s by being too lazy to engage ?
( this literally would have been impossible for me as I am sure it would have been your end : our mental staminas do have their own limits )
Yes, relief and a certain amount of delight now that I’ve seen that the Rwanda bill has been cancelled in the first day of office. We now have proper grownups in charge. At last. Hurrah. I admit I felt somewhat meh/whatevs/nonplussed when the election results were announced. Our problems feel so entrenched. How can the climate/housing/cost of living etc etc crises be solved? And Starmer seems a yes man who changes his mind a million times to bend to the electorate. But. After seeing these pictures he seems like a decent human being. Can you imagine a Tory shirt as an Aztec Camera fan looking similarly earnest in a sleeveless lumberjack shirt? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cw4y9evzzppo

love this analysis x
Rwanda was ASSURDO
Also. He was/is a proper music nerd. Played violin/piano/flute/recorder. What’s not to like? And has, perhaps more importantly, put decent human beings like David Lammy in his cabinet. Early days, but we’ll see. (Allowing myself to breathe a bit.). Rwanda was not just absurd, it was horrific. Right. End of politics discussion!
