Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2nd May, 2025.

2nd May, 2025.

Yesterday … ?

Saw local elections take place in part of the UK: and a parliamentary by-election take place in Runcorn.

Elections that have seen Reform UK do well: they won the Runcorn seats by some six votes*!

I’ll a little disappointed elections didn’t happen here in Brentwood: they’ve been postponed until next year.

I’m disappointed — in part — because my town didn’t get a chance to vote, to have its say.

But also … ?

Because we didn’t get a chance to refuse to vote for a right wing party.

I suspect, though, that had there been an election … Reform would do worryingly well.

Anyone else in charge of Essex would be good!

2nd May, 2021.

Right … 

You’ll remember that it’s Local Election time in the UK: with the elections themselves being held, this Thursday.

And that I’m not especially happy to get tons of election leaflets: especially considering I’ve got a great big ‘Vote Green’ poster.

With effects to ask candidates — Councillor Karen Chilvers in particular — not yo put leaflets through my door, being dismissed.

Rather disdainfully, I felt: frankly, that gives me another reason not to vote for her.   (I won’t voting the Tory candidate, Will Russell: he, at least, was politer about the leaflet situation.   I’m not going to be voting for the Reform Party, either: the impression I’ve formed is that they’re far more right wing than they claim*.   And that voting for anything that Nigel Farage founded is something sensible people should avoid like the plague.)

At ANY rate … ?

I actually managed to bump into the Lib-Dem activist who was delivering to the remaining properties in the area, yesterday.

And asked her to pass on the message: NOT to deliver to my address.

I can only hope that gets passed on: and sticks.

2nd May, 2018.

It’s officially official: a government official fro the Cayman Isles — being interviewed on the Today programme — has just called John Humphrys, Mr Humphrys … !

The man’s reputation as the political interviewing equivalent of Vito Genovese?   Is getting him a lot of … well … 

Manners … !

At any rate … ?

I’m up comparatively early, today.

I’ve a dentist appointment, today, and, as I’m walking?

Wanted to make sure I’m up early enough.

Here’s hoping the checkup finds nothing wrong …

Oh, as a quick point?

It seems video blogger, Logan Paul, is giving up his series of daily posts.

I’m sort of sympathetic.   Just a regular written one is time consuming.

On the other hand, my first thought?

Was ‘The wimp!’
