Let's have a new page for the UK and US Elections 2024.

Ours has been called early for 4 July. Labour will win and Sir Keir Starmer will be Prime Minister on 5 July ending 14 years of Conservative government. My guess is that the Labour majority won't be as large as some are predicting (over100 seats) more like 30-50 perhaps.

Trump's latest gaffe is directed at Liz Cheney. Called her a war hawk & suggested she have nine barrels of rifles aimed at her face & see how she would feel then. What do you make of this latest Trumpsim? My analysis to follow.


Trump was saying that instead of sending our people to fight wars, the war mongers like Liz Cheney, etc. should be made to fight the wars. If this had happened years ago, the US would not be sending our people to fight and die in endless wars.


That's logical Grey, but is there a deeper meaning here as well with the verbiage he used? 



Trump meant that Cheney, etc. would be fighting the wars, not the American people. 


True but I think there was a subliminal message in the verbiage. Guns aimed at her face=Cheney's father, Dick, shot his hunting partner in the face. Nine rifle barrels=cats have Nine lives & this in reference to Liz Cheney's political life being over.

It is possible, but in war the enemy will have their guns pointed at her and the others.

If that was the hidden message we can be sure didn't come up with it himself, far too sophisticated for him.

You are probably right, Mark. He is more like to come up with the buffoonish stuff. Like working the French fryer at McDonald's, & riding in a garbage truck. The reality T.V. schtick.

Trump has been pilloried by veterans for ducking the Vietnam War with the bone spur thingy. Now with his war hawk claim about Liz Cheney & her ilk in congress, he claims he won't send John & Mary's kids off to endless wars that they wouldn't go for themselves, & he has a record to prove it. Another brilliant strategy, or just dumb luck.

The Conservatives have a new leader today - a black woman, 44 year old Kemi Badenoch. She was born in London to Nigerian parents. Her birth name was Olukemi Olufunto Adegoke, she married Hamish Badenoch in 2012 and is known simply as Kemi Badenoch. 

Surprisingly Right Wing for a black woman who are usually raving Lefties. She entered Parliament in 2017 and served as a Minister under two Prime Ministers from 2022 until the Election defeat this summer. it remains to be seen whether this lurch to the Right will benefit the Tories after their huge defeat in July. She's got five years to make an impact anyway.

Known simply as Kemi Badenoch? Well, that is her name, eh? Maybe a bit unusual these days to actually go by it.

If she stays on and Labour do so badly that they're kicked out in 2029 she could be our next Prime Minister.

Well, somebody is doing all it can to stop Trump winning as postal postal ballot boxes are going up inflames in places where Trump is doing well. The CIA and the rest are working 24/7 to scupper his chances as they know he's going to castrate them when he gets in office and not before time, they are out of control. If the US doesn't get a Repub president now, it will never get one, the Dems will make sure of that

Re:Elections 2024

In case you over there are fed up with the Election I'll go into the remarkable events over here a century ago involving our.................err Election.

First the background. The Conservative government of Stanley Baldwin won the General Election in December 1923, but lost its majority; they emerged with 258 seats, Labour 191 and the Liberals 158. Labour and the Liberals got together to vote out the Tories in a confidence vote planned for January after the Christmas/New Year recess. And accordingly Baldwin fell in January 1924. 

The Liberal leader Asquith had a devious plan; as the second largest party MacDonald's Labour would be asked by the King to form the next government, Asquith agreed to support it and so on 22 January 1924 we had our first Labour government. 

Asquith guessed that a minority Labour administration would quickly mess things up and that Prime Minister MacDonald would not call a third Election in two years (the first was in November 1922, then December 1923) and that the King would call upon either himself or Baldwin to form a new government, if it was himself then perfect, if it was Baldwin the King chose then the Liberals would enter into a coalition and insist on Cabinet posts and a strong hand in matters.

Asquith waited most of the year until he struck, a vote of confidence was called, the Liberals dropped their support for MacDonald and Labour lost. However much to Asquith's surprise MacDonald DID call a third Election set for 29 October. 

Any chance Labour had of winning was lost in the week before the vote when the Zinoviev Letter was published in the Daily Mail. This was supposedly a document drawn up by the Soviet Chairman of Comintern Grigory Zinoviev sponsoring anti-government agitation in the Election to secure a Labour victory. The document was a hoax (who wrote it has never been fully explained) but it was accepted as genuine at the time.

At the Election the Conservatives won comfortably; 412 seats a majority of 104, Labour totalled 118 (down 40) but the real losers were the duplicitous Asquith and the Liberals - a mere 40 seats (down 151). Baldwin took over as Prime Minister just ten months after being forced out.

If I was a voter I'd stay out, nether candidate is worthy of the position. Or I'd find a third person to issue a protest vote for.

I rather hope he goes on for a few years yet, if he goes now his likely successor is the Red Queen Angela Raynor who's more of a Leftie than he is. Better the devil we know.

No Mark, the role of PM soon found that lightweight out, he's in above his thick head but seriously, do you honestly think that even the labour party is naive and stupid enough to put that horrendous cow in Number 10? Following a few weeks of her in office the Labour party would never get voted in again for the next twenty years. Mind you, I have to say, her appointment would be the greatest recruiting poster the Reform Party could ever wish for but frankly, they're not ready for office yet, too young, too inexperienced, too vulnerable to the pernicious civil service and all of the disgusting, duplicitous apparatus of Westminster and Whitehall. Giv'em another five years and let'em loose.

During the Covid Pandemic which claimed 1.1 million American lives & the Washington Post claims that 130,000 died because of Trump's mishandling of the crisis. Examples are misleading people with quack cures & nonsensical talk of injecting bleach. He also poo poohed the wearing of a mask & social distancing. U.S. Covid deaths outstripped that of other rich nations like the U.K. & Canada by 40%.

I don't want to hear anything more about covid, it's bad enough watching repeats on TV from three or four years ago with folk wearing masks, horrible reminders of the time when the world lost its collective mind.

It'll soon be over..............but wait it won't though as whoever loses will claim fraud and cheating and it'll rumble on for months, peacefully if you're lucky. That's the danger of a close election with divisiveness at fever pitch. Over here although many were disappointed with the result we knew it was coming, over there no-one can call it for sure.

More like the opposite I'd say. A Trump victory will lead to violence from those who say God wanted Trump to win therefore it has to be no matter what it takes. Just look at 2016, no mass public unrest, some protests to be sure but nothing on the scale of the Trumpanzees on 6 January 2021, they're the real danger.
