Look what landed on my doormat...

Look what landed on my doormat in the middle of Scotland this morning, quite alarmed that this is the only thing I have received from any political party regarding the Elections. :eek:

Out of interest I am downloading the Brexit Party app from the play store. Quite a good idea for getting information out there and co-ordinating. I notice none of the other political parties have something similar.

Surely they have not been caught napping so early.....ffs

Great app, I now know who all their candidates are all over the country and what the party is about.

It's more than I can say for any other party.:mad:
 
Got one of those leaflets (there are four on the roll at this address) - after a cursory scan past the eyes it has gone straight into the re-cycling bin. It would have been the fire, but ... too polluting !

Well at least your Andrex will last a bit longer...
 
I don't know if it's necessarily the case that they're going to rule us one day, but it's not that difficult to imagine - and I'd say looking at his operation Farage is imagining exactly this - a general election result that sees the Brexit party with 10 or so MPs holding the balance of power in a hung parliament. And as Salvini has shown in Italy, being a junior partner in a coalition doesn't have to mean oblivion next time they go to the polls - it can be the ideal place to build support.

nigel farage is the most popular of this lot, and he's tried all of seven times iirc to be elected without once succeeding in entering the commons. so you'll excuse me if i see this as being not difficult to imagine but rather more difficult to see as a serious expectation.
 
There's been some significant political shifts since Farage last ran for westminster - and anyway, UKIP nearly won a number of by-elections in the years before the referendum, and were second in swathes of seats in 2015. The reason we had the referendum at all is because of the electoral danger they had begun to pose. Now it's been fucked up and Farage has the betrayal narrative to run with, the game is back on.

Certainly is; the number of tory party candidate/member/supporter/voter vox pops appearing in which they explicitly or implicitly say that they'll be voting BP supports this hunch.

yeh. well, i'll donate a score to the server fund for every westminster mp they get if you'll do the same with every deposit they lose.

If at first you don't succeed...
 
This is great stuff, a new piece of free paper that must have a million uses.
There's a free firelighter if you have a coal fire.
It could be toilet paper if you run out.
Maybe you could roll it up, fill it with weed, then have a party.
 
perhaps your thread could have more meaningful title, like brogdale's 'brexit party' thread has The Brexit Party

Too late for that isn't it....the ship has sailed. This is a post about my alarming junk mail dammit! There was meant to be a wider point about the failure of other parties to get information out there and peoples general apathy but unlike the Brexit party message that has been lost in translation somewhat :(

glossy so no good for TP or for rolling a joint. Better left as a tree, much as Farage was better left as an unconsummated drunken fumble.
 
Could pull some roaches off it if its sturdy enough I suppose. We've had nothing yet. Oh polling cards, perfect thickness. But no party messages as yet.
 
I have only had the Farage one too, nothing from anyone else, though People's Vote were handing out leaflets outside the tube station yesterday - they're not even a party.
