Re: General Election called

I really do not see how a general election impacts on Ramadan.
This is a country that has Christian values, and of course we would not have a polling day on one of the religious days in the calendar, but this is different.
Ramadan lasts for a lunar month and it should be about Muslims going about their daily activities whilst making the fast(which is supposed to be a spiritual experience).
Those participating in the fast are supposed to go about their normal lives without the fast hindering them.
Are they saying that for some reason they are not allowed to vote during this time?
Is casting a vote forbidden during this time?
My understanding is, it isn't.
So it is just a nasty diversionary tactic that is of no consequence...should not even warrant a line of newsprint.

Indeed and it has been dismissed as such by Muslim societies, perhaps it's a sign?

And the sign reads, "Do not vote for the parties using such pathetic tactics".

It was MUSLIM MP's who started the bleating.
Maybe if they are so very concerned they should stand down and let those who can do the job at ANY time, take up the slack.
Less, DaveinGermany and Gremlin like this.

Well, that is obvious, after all we are supposed to be represented no matter what our political beliefs, by the elected representative.

If he/she can't represent all because of lack of food or whatever religious restriction causes them to be infirm, then they shouldn't stand.

It might be obvious to us Less, but it is not obvious to these bleaters...or they would have kept quiet.
It is playing a racial card and hoping that we will swallow it.

Re: General Election called

where can i view candidates for county council as i would like to get to know what each candidates policy is towards the disabled with their care and how they are treated in society

im guessing the labour candidate will be the one more friendly towards disabled people but i think it best to be prudent just in case one of them has something like a 12 month police caution for attacking both physically and verbally a disabled person or some other abhorrent behavior towards disabled people that requires police involvement and a caution

not that i should worry any party would put someone like that forward that would be just ludicrous but these days you just dont know

Yes, it would be fun to peruse the list of candidates and look deeply into the past of a brand new Labour candidate, after all, we know they make mistakes but surely they must know enough is enough so far as a let down is concerned.

Re: General Election called

Can you Imagine our Jonesy appearing before the selection committee?

'Now then Mr. Jones, how is it that although you aren't responsible for illegal war, or the deaths of thousands, within 4 years you manged to pees off 95% of the Hyndburn constituents?'

(Jonesy) 'Well sir, I think I have a natural talent for representing the New Labour party PLUS I have less of a conscience than Tony Blaire so I'm perfect for the job.'
