I Love It When a Curse Works

In January 2022 I placed a curse (here) on Boris Johnson. It's been a hell of a ride since then, and I think we can truthfully say he's cursed.

But then in October (here) I predicted that if he lasted as an MP to the next election he wouldn't stand again. The utter coward has kinda pre-empted me by throwing a hissy fit and resigning, which is a great pity because national treasure Count Binface had committed to personally taking Johnson down, and I would have been right behind that. 

In the absence of that historical battle, the candidates for Uxbridge and South Ruislip are many of them completely barmy so I will return to my default position of advocating for tactical voting. This is a way of voting to overcome our poisonous FPTP system which keeps resulting in government elected by a minority because the opposition is divided, by uniting the opposition to prioritize getting the Tories out. In two of the three constituencies with by-elections on the 20th the tactical vote to do this is Labour. The exception is Somerton and Frome, where the tactical vote is Lib Dem. The pundits are predicting Uxbridge will turn Labour, which would be a worthy legacy for that cunt Johnson.

Do I even need to mention that there's a song for this occasion?
