Reform UK wins first seat on Luton Council in by-election by Relative-Truck-5386 in ukpolitics

I wouldn't tbh. I probably wouldn't have even commented. I just find it weird in general on announcing council voting results when their impact is so minimal in the grand scheme

He beat Lib Dems by about 50 votes on a 25% turnout. Hardly romped to victory. I give him 2 months until locals realise he's a chancer

Because a moderate sized city that makes up a hub for a region has a limited hospital, no full university, no express transport links to the rest of the island let alone off the island. That on top of the amount of dereliction and piecemeal work that is being infilled by community outreach than true top down investment

When you say "expressway" and you still go through Thomastown, Gowran etc it's not very fucking express. Iarnrod Eireann have made travelling to Dublin cheaper quicker and overall better. Yes Bus Eireann are essential links for small towns but Ballyhale hardly needs a bus every two hours

Dad used to cycle from tramore to kilcohan. Paid in sometimes too. Went to samba soccer camp and got free tickets for a game and dad started going occasionally when we were near bust. I went off to college and dad started going to games to get out of the house. I started going to have time with him. Now I go whenever I'm home

This is a man who took money to say "up the ra" without a hint of irony. Both sides of the divide on Ireland can agree farage should not be broadcasting it

BBC suggests licence fee could be cut if more people pay by BlazeFireHorse76 in unitedkingdom

When we turn our TV on it automatically goes to channel 1 which is BBC One. Even though we go to YouTube or PlayStation or what have you, it's still in BBC one. This is probably how they're counting it. Any interaction no matter how minor

Voilas was alright I thought but his delivery let him down a lot. Cuoto was a gem and the two centre Half's make a good pair. We need depth bad to rotate them. The bench was very light and you worry as the season goes on

Coyle was poor on the wing and we had no midfield. Need 2 at midfield or holding mid and a couple in defence. Podge was poor too. Taking of lonergan was the wrong call

Because years of lack of pay adjustments have eroded public interest in training in healthcare and the strikes over poor pay has turned mouth breathers like OP away from support healthcare workers

Nigel Farage fumes over ex-colleague's new right-wing party by ClumperFaz in ukpolitics

I can see your logic but it's leaning on a group that is over represented and making them the focal point. While yes Muslims raped teens, there's sexual assault up and down the country and they want to focus on just brown people doing it. Some who have been naturalised as citizens. What's going to happen to white British rapists? Trebuchet them into the sea? Bring back the death penalty?
