A curious thing happened today in case anyone is interested.

A family member whilst watering there plants in a central city location observed a Labour councillor for the remain camp directing members of his team to only the houses of ethnic minorities, primarily India, Bangladeshi & Pakistani family homes.

I would be interested to hear if this was a general trend if indeed anyone has paid any attention to habits & actions of canvassers.

My family member was very taken aback by all of this and was quite put out that nobody took the time to try and engage in a debate with the other 70% -75% of the residents.

What gives?

All sorts of dirty tricks are going on, I'm sure. It would've been good if they'd filmed it on a mobile. Thanks for the information.

I'm not seeing any electronic voting going on, at least in this photo. Which is a very good thing.

Looks like they have re-set WWII, with the old 1942-43 euro/uk landmass situation, for the most part.

I guess everyone wants to do a third round.

One might argue... if others noticed this approach as well... that it's things like that, that can lose a campaign

And with the migrant population being a very contentious affair, maybe some more fascism, with some nice fresh non-integrated slave labour.

Strangely enough, all the pieces are there.

Nah, I don't think it would work a second time..

But those coincidental factors as parallels still remain.

Third time's the charm?
