Reminded me a little bit of something.

Just remember. They don't like it up 'em. They do not like it up 'em!

This is one of the only points of consolation I've found, living in that little red dot. And of the council, it's exactly the same - My ward is a little red dot surrounded by blue.

could you do one showing the affect their bricked window in brixton had on the share price?

Of course. There will be a few. RKS is possibly one and there'll likely be a handful we've never heard of. This notion that we haven't heard of them yet so Ukip are "nothing" is utterly ridiculous.

No chance. Farage is a one in a million personable type that made old school 'innocent' simpleton racism fashionable (for the 40+ set). The only person that could come close to galvanising that kind of leadership and following is Jeremy Clarkson. To be fair, I said the same about Salmond (and indeed thought Sturgeon was going to be the death of SNP such was her spikey initial 'media presence' (on QT etc)).

I think the UKIP '3rd place' is an overstatement - I think a lot of people voted for them knowing they wouldn't get in. Lets face it, if you wanted to pull the lefty reins on a local Labour stronghold, you'd vote UKIP as it's a more focussed 'message'. I think if a different system was introduced their support would dry up (even with Nige at the helm) - I nearly did the same by voting Green in a Tory safe seat.

It should follow him everywhere, like some punishment from the Greek Gods.

he should be forced to carry it up and down Mt. Olympus for eternity

Hehehe

 

[Corax]

NHA did alright considering they were founded practically yesterday and are single-issue.

Summer first. Good weather for aggro.

Jesse Rae only got 135 votes in Berwickshire Roxburgh.
Bastards wouldn't let him take his five foot claymore into the polling stations!

She'll have to be quick; Bone speaks to the nation at 3.20

alan sked founded ukip

Farage was a founding member too.

I think that means he joined in the year they were founded (1993).

its going to be a very long 5 years

 

[brogdale]

So Harman goes after she's finished acting up?

 

[Grandma Death]

There are some positives from this. Richard Desmond has spunked a million quid with little to show for it. McVey lost her seat. The tories are operating on a slim majority. They dont have the backing of the 40 odd seats in the last coalition. Things arent going to be easy for Cameron-because he has to now implement his promises with no get out clause of having to compromise because he's part of a coalition -and I think, particularly around europe, they will struggle.

Now with this slim majority he needs every swinging dick in the tory party to vote-meaning they could lose some key issues and even trigger a vote of no confidence in some circumstances-of course this slim majority wont be a problem if Labour carry on down the path of austerity-cause they'll vote for most cuts as they did last parliament.

Especially if you are serving 3 years of it for causing criminal damage whilst rioting!

my mum said that if she was in jail she'd know she would have three squares a day and a heated room to sleep in, but doing something to get you there would be unchristian. I've never seen her this despondant.
