“ Vladimir Putin addressed the Nation stressing that ‘He is listening’ to the concerns of the voters. Having been returned with just 87% of the vote, Putin celebrated a muted victory. He promised that ‘lessons will be learned.’
87% is the lowest number of votes ever cast for a Russian Premier called Vladimir Putin. Some say this was a result of the DeNazification of Ukraine policy. Others, that it was incompetence of officials. And a rating of 98.7% was what was required, but a typo was made. 98.7% is the usual amount of votes Putin receives in free and fair elections.”
Voting irregularities. Peaceful, unarmed protests subjected to an unprecedented crackdown, gaoling protestors on trumped-up charges, with the military called in to guard the installation by the apparatchiks of the illegitimate Biden Regime...
OT. I'm quite impressed with the Houthis, 7 years of Saudi bombing and they're still the only nation fighting the genocide as best they can. Fair play to them.
"The first reports of damage to submarine cables off the coast of Yemen began emerged on Monday morning, with Israeli news outlet Globes claiming that four cables (EIG, AAE-1, Seacom and TGN-EA) had experienced damage.

Peter M - that episode deserves wider general knowledge
many a lying git in a position of authority has said "that can't be right - we need to fix it": Stalin's was that reaction taken to the ultimate degree

I recall that when he introduced the Daily Mirror million-pound lottery, Robert Maxwell privately supervised the first draw. The winner was a bank clerk from a London suburb. No, says Maxwell, we're not having that - and proceeded to select a suitable winner by hand, himself: some poor widow from a northern town or similar
Britain’s power stations are to command record prices to keep the lights on later this decade, amid concerns over a lack of electricity supply to meet a boom in demand. Plants secured an all-time high price of £65 a kilowatt per year for 2027-28 in a “capacity market” auction to supply power, outstripping the £63 per kW a year planned for 2026-2027, National Grid’s electricity system operator said. The annual auction sets a subsidy price to pay owners of power generators – including gas, hydroelectric, wind and solar projects – and battery storage facilities to cover the cost of meeting the nation’s electricity demand. The costs are covered through consumer bills.

I've heard that Starmer will be getting the same - or so the ONS says.
Well... Rayner will be getting that in the general election after next.
(Votes for 16s - not old enough to be trusted with party poppers and too young to be guilty of joining ISIS.)
Haha ”…not not adjacent…” ?
He will be very disappointed.

Kev - post coming on that soon
Looking forward to it, Nick.
I enjoyed your piece on generals very much.
Only 87%?
I'd advise the election officials to keep away from the windows in tall buildings.
Remember what happened to those responsible for the 1937 census in the USSR?

Alas no Russian figures, not good for Western European leaders.
I do wonder if the Indian poll is taken to mean "Are you Hindu or Moslem?"

Given that half the kids are put into massive debt to be educated/indoctrinated until 21 or 22, there's a case to be made for raising the voting age.
