  1. Lol this sounds like a dangerous recipe. Traditionally a night of fireworks and drinking combined with protests and the state of the facist police at the mo.

    I’m all in but Jesus this will be a mess if it happens. Can’t wait.

  2. Can we just… try to organise an election without waiting for permission from the government? As a form of protest, I mean. We could even troll them by inviting them to take part.

  3. When we eventually do have an election and if/when they lose its going to be interesting if they will accept the result and stand aside.

  4. It is always worth saying: check that you are eligible to vote and have your current address.

    Students: You can vote either at your student address or at your parents/home address. You cannot vote in both. So choose which constituency your vote has more value.

    Overseas voters: Check your address, make sure your information is up to date to receive your postal vote or that your proxy voter is still willing and able.

  5. Many people won’t be able to afford to travel to London. A really clear message that more people can engage with would be protests outside the constituency offices of every sitting tory MP at the same time as the mass gathering in London.

  6. Can’t wait for our government to plug their ears and go “lah, lah, lah, lah. I can’t hear you!”

    To everyone in the UK as things are reduced to ash while they pocket more money.

  7. Was planning to be in London on 5th before train strikes were announced so I’ll be in on the 6th instead. This sounds like something I want to be involved in, though.

  8. Remember, remember the fifth of November; the Gunpowder Treason and plot. I see of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot…

  9. Prediction: lots of socialist and leftist banners then protest painted as polital and just to give labour a better chance meaning the right and conservatives go against any idea of an election and therefore it doesnt happen until 2024
