Hi there. I'm Big Lin and a perennial floating voter. Got my nickname because I'm 5ft 11 but as my hubby is 6ft4 I still have to look up to him! How did you "float" this week, then? I voted Reform. But I've previously voted Labour, Lib Dem and Conservative |

Warm welcome. I like women but am regarded as the Forum naughty step misogynist. I'm not. Please tell us a bit about your views, reactions to this GE, your constituency and anything else you are prepared to divulge. That is quite a height. Might I be indelicate enough to enquire as to your UK shoe size? My views don't fit easily into any left/right tick box approach. I'd broadly call myself a centrist but on some issues I could be thought of as right wing and on others left wing. I am disappointed that the crazy election system allows a party that two thirds of the electors voted against to have a massive majority. In some areas I think labour will be better and in others worse. My constituency is Wakefield and Rothwell. As for my height, my Dad is 6ft 2 and my Mum is 5ft9. My brother is 6ft3 but strangely my sister is 5ft4! I'm a size 9 in shoes! This sounds a lot like myself, I’ve ended up as a moderator on here despite having no position on the political spectrum or loyalty to any party. But politics and elections do fascinate me! |

My brother is 6ft3 but strangely my sister is 5ft4! I'm a size 9 in shoes! Thank you so much. A full and interesting answer. Lots of us from Yorkshire. I am part of the significant Sheffield grouping. Those political placing will fit you comfortably into our mainstream. I am a friend of the Hepworth and don't get up to Wakefield often enough. I assumed a size lower than male of same height and you confirmed it. I have similar female family members who do have problems because so many fashion ranges end at 7 or 8. Thus my enquiry. |

Why did @weld self-delete? I liked many of his posts, despite his odd devotion to Biden.

If those are collectors items then I should’ve kept the far more professional leaflets from 2008 when I won the School election by promising to open the football pitch for the whole of lunch break. |

The bizarre thing is that even his unprofessional messy scribbled homemade, bespoke, hand-crafted leaflets do have an imprint. I believe it is a requirement. |

You took issue with me saying you are unwell. Now you're saying you are. Please make your mind up.
