May 6th: The Cops Election
May 6th will mark regional local elections in the UK, to include the London mayoral election. Considering that 4 of the 5 of us are based in London, this does in fact affect us. However, all polling indicates that Sadiq Khan will win again on a platform of More Cops and handing all decisions to property developers, with the remaining candidates all basically wanting More Cops. Sian Berry? Bad. Laurence Fox? Don't make me laugh. Shaun Bailey? Joke. Brian Rose? Okay, he's extremely bad also, but that man is a verifiable content machine. So, we decided on a platform of 'vote if you want to do but don't really expect much either way' and then decided to talk about Brian Rose's completely bonkers life force. Hope you enjoy!

Honestly want to start a campaign for the seccesion of Crystal Palace from Bromley but am not sure who we'd seccede to.
there are too many options
Boris Johnson isn't alienating because he's a piece of shit and the population of this country due to years and years of capitalism and marketing also seem to relate far more to a piece of shit than a decent human like Jeremy Corbyn
dinged by £500 ey
great ep, but how did you guys manage to discuss the mayoral election without mentioning Niko, a guy who seems like he was invented by hussein kesvani in a fever dream?
vaccine section is very good. why didn't you put it in the description?
milo buddy lov ya but please dont tell me the NIP is a waste of time from essex....u guys shld have phil proudfoot on an episode before dismissing us out of hand
The Burning Pink lady doesn't seem to be a cop. Seems to like getting arrested though
Seems to like fucking with the most environmentally friendly form of transportation in the name of environmentalism though
hey do you guys have a funny vote-waster party? For example here I voted Communist even if they have a less than single digit percent vote share because I didn't feel like voting for the other guys. Do you guys have a Rhinoceros Party or a (early years) Pirate Party or a Marijuana Party or a Marxist-Troskyist-4th-Internationale-United-Maoist Party or a thing of that nature?
We've got the Monster Raving Loony party, Count Binface in London specifically and TUSC (Trade Union and Socialist Coalition) if you want to vote for the trots
That Bill Gates section is so eye opening and so dark - damn
1- Have wealth 2- Pay a guy on fiver to package together already existing code 3- ??? 4- Basically control the world-wide production of Covid-19 vaccines
Deeply enjoying all the cursed niche Bromley content
The last 15 minutes of this were ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Paul Williams is my former MP fun fact before he was a shit Saudi supporting MP he was part of the nhs and tried to close part of Hartlepool hospital. so a great candidate really.
YOU CAN'T BUILD HOUSES OUT OF FUCKING SHIPPING CONTAINERS! Thank you for finally finding the one housing issue I'm most passionate about.
I wish SNP MPs were ‘yer da’ sadly, most of them are the same bloodless freaks you get in Labour and the Tories
Forgot to register but our local mayor still looks solid to win, and i don't really feel like voting labour in its current state
Well I forgot to register to vote and the Tories have encircled a fortress around Cornwall for decades now, so I guess I'm fucked already. Electoral reform is badly needed, but oh well.
