pinfireman Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 The stark contrast between the Brexit Party’s slick, professional branding and The Independent Group/Change UK’s never–ending horror show has been the source of endless amusement. Unfortunately, some Remainers are failing to see the funny side, one mad FBPEr has had such a severe sense of humour failure that he has filed an official complaint about the Brexit Party’s logo. For being too good… Richard Bentall #FBPE, who is apparently also a professor of clinical psychology, wrote to the Electoral Commission to complain that the Brexit Party’s logo was an arrow – which funnily enough is next to the voting box for them. “In my professional opinion,” he splutters, “the ballot paper confers an unfair advantage to the Brexit Party.” The only thing giving them an unfair advantage is Change UK’s chronic incompetence… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are looking for benefits I can tell you won't get them, but what you do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills you have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make you very desirable for developed countries like France and Germany . If we get a clean Brexit now, that will not be the end of it. They will still look for you, they will still employ you, but if they don't, you will still have a job here in Blighty, we will find you and we will employ you! 😂 2 hours ago, old man said: Mm, that's something we are very good at, paying out with usually a negative position.

Agreed, made even worse by the out of sync A/V but I was still buzzing from the footie and it gave me an excuse to politely ask the other half to allow me to concentrate on listening to something other than her 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent write up today in the Telegraph. Self made man and actually lives in Peterborough and already spreads some of his wealth within that City on various charitable causes including being on the Cathedral committee. Unfortunately pushed onto the middle pages by the hysteria about Megan calving. Worth buying a Telegraph today as well for the cartoon.

Ironically it was Megan and her outfit that the missus was banging on about when I was trying to watch Peston, at least I think that's what she was on about...

Walker570 Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 Reads like a solid guy. I wish him well. Get out and give him some support. When he wins it will be the first nail in the coffin and the publicity will carry over to May 23rd. It will be an interesting fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a decent enough chap, has obviously worked hard and is giving back to his local community. https://www.opportunitypeterborough.co.uk/events/mastermind-with-mike-greene/ A marked difference between Mr Greene and Peterborough's last political offering. It would be great to see him win... the shockwaves would shake Westminster to the core, and not before time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an aside I think it's time we saw a lot more candidates of Mike Greene's ilk, whoever they may be standing for. The days of the career politician who studied PPE, worked as an intern, licks some bumcrack and is then parachuted into the nearest safe seat has proven to be a failure of gargantuan proportions. Let's hope the electorate in Peterborough realise what they could be setting in motion here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very sadly I think, (hopefully wrong?) he will face stiff challenges as he appears far too dangerous to let him succeed?
