Not like the rest at all ?

Terrible news indeed
The local election "astounding" result needs a little unpicking methinks...... so that's getting a smaller percentage of the vote as a "resounding success" then ? I'm not a football supporter but surely belated congratulations are in order to the English team for the World Cup "astounding result" against Germany in 1966. Winning NO councils is a great result innit !

Sad sad sad ....... news that people have been tricked into thinking that extremists are what we need.

As the theme of this says It's NO CHOICE at all
just more tired old establishment crap

I'm glad my children are too big to fit up a chimney !
Time to roll back the read tape that is stifling business and bring back child labour in factories


How long will they manage to stay "in character" ?

Actually if "the people have spoken" then, given the turnout and what people actually voted for
they voted for something else (as usual :-( )

Extremist? Lol!!!

[MrGongGong]

Extremist? Lol!!!

When the bother to turn up...... look at who their friends are !

Openly (rather than in the closet) fascist and racists

How lovely for us all

Are you being serious?

[MrGongGong]

Are you being serious?

Of course not
the French National Front are just a load of jolly Sham 69 fans
and the Golden Dawn are misunderstood fans of an obscure 1970's sci fi trilogy !

Still people like a nice story don't they ?

Oh dear, you're in one of your 5th form moods, this morning.

Inevitably it has missed Bill Tong's razor-sharp analysis that the most over-crowded and expensive part of UK - viz London - rejected Nige's blandishments and returned Labour with four new councillors in Westminster of all places.

Could this be because London has hosted immigrants and furriners for centuries and doesn't recognise his nasty propaganda?

ukip did well in the relatively expensive and crowded South east region in the EU elections.

And the BNP has always had a good deal of its success, (which is, to be fair , very limited ) in London.

Details! Details! forget all that, ts.

All that matters ts, is that the mould in which British politics has been cast in for the last 100 years, has been broken!

Different from the rest - celebrate difference and diversity!!

Can you come back next week, Beefy?

Let's not forget that Labour, the Greens, the Lib Dems, and a majority in the Conservatives are, broadly, pro Europe. UKIP united the anti Europe vote on its one major plank and got less than a third of a lowish vote.

That might be a better perspective?

[Beef Oven!]

That might be a better perspective?

It might. It might be right, too.

But, I personally believe that something more than that is going on.

Time will tell.

Of course ....... I forgot
HE is an exception (like all the others)

Form an orderly queue please

They just can't stop themselves can they, poor things. If they really were "exceptions" you'd think they'd have learned to keep their mouths shut, or they'd have been told by their non-exceptional fellows that this kind of talk isn't on.

As for moulds being broken, I suppose from an insular perspective that's true, although if we commit the unforgiveable sin of seeing things from a wider European perspective we see that this kind of smiley far-right demagoguery has actually been around for a while.

It's hardly "mould breaking" to elect a dodgy white ex-stockbroker in a suit...........

I've got this radical idea to "break the mould" of music, I'm going to use an augmented 4th NOT in a Diminished chord .......... How radical can one get ??
