Seems ConDems have crashed down south as expected with Labour making pretty big gains. 

Be interesting to see how things pan out in Scotland but presumably given it is STV there won't be any councils where a party has overall control.  Apparently heading for the lowest turnout in years up here but then you'd hardly know there was an election on where I stay.  No posters or billboards and I only got one leaflet through my door which was Tory, which is bizarre given in my ward I'd imagine they'd do well to get even 4th on 1st preference never mind get anywhere near a seat.

 

Don't suppose it means much so far away from a GE but already had Tory MPs demanding Callmedave is more right wing after UKIP success in the south and comedy figure Lebit Opik demanding Nick Clegg resigns as leader of the Lib Dems (but seemingly stay on as Deputy PM).

Also glad to see that so far nobody has voted in favour of Mayors in various English cities. Total waste of time and money and nothing more than a celebrity driven ego trip (see B. Johnston and K. Livingston)

Sturgeon's legacy: a resurgent Tory party in Scotland 

When it's coming out of shitholes like Paisley that Tories are making gains it can only be the proddy element shitting themselves about independence. None of them have a clue about actual Conservative politics.

 

Not just Paisley, but Ferguslie Park (aka Fegie), the most deprived area of Paisley. 

It's just huns voting for union jack's

 

 

Wankers the lot of them.

Sturgeon's legacy: a resurgent Tory party in Scotland 

Well no, as the SNP continue to do well, I'd suggest it's idiots like Murphy and Dugdale who have totally lost touch with their voters who've let the Mooth grab disaffected voters.

Diane Abbot doesnt seem to have learned from her gaffe the other day.I almost feel sorry for the silly cow,but theres a bit of a witchunt for her now.She needs to be ditched Asap.If she spent less time trying to sound knowledgable,she might actually have become ..er knowledgeable

 

  Think some of the Tory gains in Scotland last night were more about the blue rinse brigade getting out in numbers to give the SNP a 'no referendum' bloody nose?

As I said a couple of weeks back I fully expect "traditional" Tory seats in Perthshire, Borders and well to do suburbs of Edinburgh and Glasgow to revert to type and leave the SNP with around 45-48 seats in the general election.

 

Labour is now a busted flush and I think after their inevitable annihilation Tony Blair will surface to form and lead a new centre left party which will eventually replace labour as the main opposition south of the border.

 

I wholeheartedly agree that its not those voting Conservative up here that are the problem. It must be patently obvious to Scottish labour voters that their vote is not only wasted, but indeed will contribute directly to the Tories increasing their representation up here and that the only solution to avoiding a whole generation of successive Tory governments is to go down the independence route.

 

Sadly I fear that these so called  socialists would far rather 30 years of Conservatism than take the brave option

I never ever thought I'd say this but it's come to the point where so many Scots disgust me.

 

I always thought there were utter erseholes but the amount of Scots who believe in utter fucking pish is staggering.

 

How can any Scot can believe in Britishness , the Tories, Westminster , the royals, unity with England and wave a Union Jack ?

 

How can any Scot not believe that their own country is capable of governing itself (in or out of a European Union)

 

It would bring a guy to tears in disbelief.

 

I'm so proud to be Scottish still but it's only to do with traditions , the beauty of our country, the remarkable inventions, the history, the accent and the humour.

 

Everything else can fuck off.

 

I'm so glad I live in another country and I even admire their pride and loyalty to their own.im even jealous sometimes that I can't join in on their 'love-ins'.

 

You wear a Scotland flag and a kilt and have a few drinks, you're automatically classed as some pervert who flashes, gets drunk and pisses in someone's doorstep.

 

 

Scotland needs a huge change. In its people, it's beliefs and it's politics.

 

Sadly, it'll never happen due to ignorant religious bigots, Britishness and the staunch belief in the old empire, the BBC propaganda and basic old timers passing down their stories of unionism and fighting in the wars 60 years ago.

 

We have tiny country syndrome and too many social complexities.

 

Agree with a lot of this.  Scotland has a choice, go independent, remain in EU (or at the very least the Single Market) and become a modern, progressive European nation, or go down the shitter with the rest of the UK under the idiocy that is Brexit.  Sadly, I think Scotland will choose the latter option.

Stuff this single market nonsense.

Don't allow them to water it down, I'm a citizen of Europe and no hatchet faced tory bitch is taking that away from me.

 

 

 

As for the Scots...........

Don't trust the cowardly bastards.

 

I remember my first great political disappointment when we voted not to have a devolved government.

 

What we take for granted now was portrayed as practically the end of the world.

 

I don't think I was even 18  but had grown up in particularly Nationalistic and pro independence times so I thought the result was a fore gone conclusion.

 

I know we voted for and that Maggie stuck her oar in with her minimum percentage shite but the result was a major major shock to me.

 

Give a take a few thousand votes, a third voted for, a third voted against ( god save the queen) and worst of all, a third didn't bother to vote at all.

 

 

 

Tell the average Scot that some policy will cost/ save £100 a year and you will have bought their vote.

 

Twas always such.

 

 

 

 

I'm so proud to be Scottish still but it's only to do with traditions , the beauty of our country, the remarkable inventions, the history, the accent and the humour.

 

 

I'm sorry min but I'm going to have to ask you to explain yourself here.

 

 

Traditions... What?  pipe bands and haggis.

Please don't say New Year

 

Beauty.....Geologically diverse enough and there's no doubt that there are many beautiful parts.

I've done a fair bit of hillwalking in my time, I understand the surge of pride you can get looking at the view from the top of Lochnagar etc.

However, I stopped reading the Sunday Post a long time ago, I now realise that Scotland is not the only country with hills.

When it comes to man made beauty then I'm afraid Scotland is way way down the list.

How many truly pretty towns do we have like Banchory compared to utter shiteholes like Denny?

 

Remarkable Inventions.......I won't argue too much here, Scotland has punched above it's weight in the past.

A lot of it is in the past though and, when looked into, most other European countries have their proud list of innovators too.

Scots have also played important roles in many high places around the world.

Scotland is not necessarily an insular country.

 

The History........ Money grabbing and back stabbing.

 

THE ACCENT???.......By the way, big man but.

A girl with a glaswegian accent is an abomination.

 

The humour.........Good but not any better than anywhere else. The English have a great sense of humour so I wouldn't put ours as any better than theres.

Modern shite American infuenced TV is destroying sense of humour everywhere.

 

 

 

As you say, everything else can fuck off.

 

 

 

 

 

:rofl:

 

Farage is absolutely gutted too, this is brilliant.

As much as I would like to gut Farage I sure he knew what the vote would be when the French voted a fortnight ago.

 

He can console himself with his French mistress ( much to the annoyance of his German wife)

 

 

So, that's the French, the Dutch and even the Austrians all voted for reasonable center ground politics.

 

Only the Yanks have voted Facist, I wonder what the English will vote for?

 

 

The Scots?

They'll just be happy to do what the English think is best.

Jeremy Corbyn has just announced he's taking part in tonight's debate.  Now it's only May who looks like the fanny she is.

He's doing quite well however it's a rabble - where's David Dimbleby to keep order?

Was very shout (the whole evening) but I thought him, Angus and Tim farron came across well. I like the welshie too, but didn't get much opportunity tonight. Amber rudd came across as an idiot. rightly so.

The green wifie was the best of them all.

 

I want to hear from someone who will vote conservative as to why they will be doing so?

The green wifie was the best of them all.

 

Agreed. Shame they're not standing in my area.

No one believes you. You'd never vote for a pro indy party.

This is not a Holyrood election in case you weren't aware.

Maybots interview with the Plymouth Herald, completely embarrassing:

 

 

I guess they are strong and stable responses, albeit the same words said differently, every, single, time.

Some of the crowd on bbc qt should be sent to jail. Horrible, horrible people. Cannot believe that people like that still exist. Hopefully they choke on a crumpet.

Watched about ten minutes of it. It was weird. I only briefly check the tabloids these days, but the people in the audience were genuinely frightened of us being blown up by Iran and North Korea. Where the fuck does that shite come from? They all clearly thought that Trident was a huge issue. Far bigger than it actually is. And most seemed like they were more than happy to nuclear bomb another country - even preemptively. Fucking bizarre like. They kept going on about a "red button" too, fucking retards. Will you press the red button Jeremy? Will you? I wish he'd properly put them in their place. A bit weak I thought, he should have properly confronted them.

Well, that was the weirdest election campaign.

 

Clearly meant to be a victory procession for the Tories, that arsehole Teresa May ends up looking like she is about to burst into tears and skirling about getting rid of human rights.

Unless she ends up with a 25+ majority then she is out anyway.

Boris still waiting in the wings?

 

Jeremy Corbyn has done much better than anyone could have expected, helped by a really good manifesto.

Dianne Abbot on the other hand has ended up locking herself in her bedroom and refusing to come out from under the covers.

Which is just as well because she is a useless cow.

Fuck knows what the future for Corbyn is?

Either he's Prime Minister, Leader of the opposition in a hung parliament or he's out on his arse.

 

That chinless wonder who's leader of the Liberals is out whatever he does.

 

Scottish politics has just become Huns versus non Huns.

 

 

The only leader still standing after Thursday could well be Nicola Sturgeon.

 

 

I'm going to stick with my prediction from last year of a hung parliament in the spring ( ok, early summer) and another election in October.

 

However, beware the auld wifie.

 

More and more, voting is split by age.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As the wifie in her 90's said to me ( before the brexit vote)

 

"I'm voting out because I don't want to be raped, and the police are not allowed to arrest immigrants if they rape you.)
