I think The Young Fella chose the best possible t-shirt to go and vote in yesterday...... made us laugh anyway!
He used the short walk to the polling station to see if he was better. He's not. Coughing for England but he is gradually improving. He won't return to work today, but maybe Saturday's shift. We shall see. Hubby is sniffling and snuffling merrily. I am still standing.......
Waking up to the depressing news of a Labour landslide. I didn't vote for them and never would after their last reign. No good policies to speak of and they spend our money like water. Change was needed after a dismal series of Tory scandals, but modern Labour is unlikely to prove a good change for the nation or our pockets. But as I said yesterday, we need new leaders with integrity and calibre and I pray they are out there, growing as I speak, not just in my country but in others who desperately need the same.
I love the T-shirt - not just for politics but in general
Sadly it's hard to find politicians with integrity - I am just hoping Trump doesn't get in again - he is an ugly man inside and out and lacks integrity and a long list of other qualities.
Sorry about the voting. I am not enthused about either candidate hear. Oh well, another vote for the lesser of two evils. Well one is evil and one is a disappointment.
Great t-shirt.
Negative about voting yesterday - local candidates stood outside didn’t engage with voters.
Positive - got to go in to local Catholic Church with pretty blue ceiling. Poll station was in hall behind church.
And that message says it all everywhere. He has grown into a handsome young man, I remember him less than 16 years old for sure. Youngsters grow up into adults so very quickly.
A lovely shot of your son, and I love his t-shirt!
The election was quite interesting, with the Labour vote not changing much since the last election, and the Conservative vote reducing drastically because many of their supporters staying at home, or voted for Reform UK or the Liberal Democrats. So, a unification of those with right of centre views could result in another dramatic change at the next election.
Just the sweetest smile for a young fella who is still not feeling well... I'm hating US politics so much and with an election year we are in store for way too much ugliness and I'm afraid there is no willing with any candidate.
That says it all!! Chose the perfect tee shirt! He looks happy, cheerful & better! Reform made a huge difference to the vote…..I voted who I always vote for & it wasn’t red!
cracking mono portrait Casa' , good you are still free from the family bug !!!
As for the election , we have a new MP , Michael Payne , he's a lifelong friend of our daughters , we've known him since he was a little boy . He's hard working , cares about his community , cares about people, been a councillor since his 20's , deputy leader of our the boro' council, he will be a great MP . My father in law who voted Tory all his life voted for him because he knows he cares ! Anyway we shouldn't really discuss politics , I think Sir Keir Starmer seems an honourable man , he spoke very highly of Rishi Sunak today .
@phil_howcroft Glad you are happy. You have a rare thing currently in a caring politician and I will always celebrate an individual who is like that, whatever their party. I have an entirely different opinion of Mr Starmer and his party, so we shall have to agree to differ on that point. I already said in my narrative change was necessary, but I have no hope of anything good to come for a while. If any main party was filled with people like your young man, I would vote for them. I am not affiliated to any party personally. But he is an exception and many consituencies unfortunately lacked such a person to vote for. I applaud him as an individual and I wish him well.
@casablanca thanks Casa' , it's OK to have different opinions , at the end of the day we just want decent , caring , upright politicians , who care about their constituency and country. Keep an eye out for Micheal , he really is one of the 'good people' , stay clear of the lurgy in your family
I don't understand politics nor do I wish too. I vote only because it's compulsory but I always write "neither thank you" across the page. From what I see here it doesn't seem to matter which party is in power, they don't follow through on their promises and life continues to get more difficult.
Sorry men still ill, glad they'll be fit to look after you! Good for TYF, love the GSOH!
