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)

Bit of a wake up call for the other parties this morning, they're not doing enough to counter UKIP.

EDIT:  A potential Tory/UKIP coalition at the next general election would do wonders for the Yes vote in the Scottish independence referendum.

Think the worrying thing is that the "main" parties will now focus on trying to attract the votes of those whom, for some reason have felt obliged to drag their carcasses from their pits to, vote BNP ( I of course mean Farage). At the loss of those, pertaining regular or higher than average intelligence, who feel disenfranchised with the UK political process.

I'm also worried that although Scotland thinks of itself as "left wing" there is a lot of folk who are anti immigration, pro death penalty and pro government interference in our lives when all three are a big interference in the advancement of the economy.

The UKIP guy who sneaked in here in Scotland has been reported to police for potentially falsifing registration address documents. Has lived in Kensington, London for 15 years but claimed to have moved to Edinburgh.

Stunned at the number of votes right wing lunatic fringe got in Scotland. I really am surprised that so many Scots would vote for a party that clearly dispises them. A little less proud to be Scottish today.

In what way does UKIP despise Scottish people?

 

But yeah, it's sad to see how well UKIP have done. I think people are seeing as a protest vote and a comment on the EU more than anything else.

Cannot find the link just now but one of their senior members is on record as describing Scots as "whinning subsiday junkies" or something similar.

That was Lord Monkton, the president of UKIP in Scotland, who said : "The Scots are subsidy junkies whingeing like a trampled bagpipe as they wait for their next fix of English taxpayer's money."

 

Farage also labelling the protesters he faced last May in Edinburgh as 'Fascist Scum', 'Racist' and 'displaying a total hatred of the english'. Also hanging up on Radio Scotland when he was being asked about much he knew about Scottish Politics and the lack of UKIP support North of the border etc

Apparently he's not a Lord. And the House of Lords had to write to him to ask him to stop claiming to be a Lord.

Yes. Although if I was a rapist I'd be offended by that.

Eh?

Eh?

 

If you just stop reading after 'death penalty', it kind of makes sense.

Eh?

 

Listening to call kaye and the like you just hear folk phoning in and constantly wanting the government to ban things. It's depressing and counter productive in many ways. Also if my posts don't make sense check the time. If they are after 0230, in general, you should just ignore them.

I fucking love your posts too. It should be after only 0230 but the clubs in Aberdeen close really early.

 

Edit: I shall be away for a bit on Tuesday and shall hopefully have a job soon so my drunken nonsense shall hopefully be finished.

Fair play to the local residents, one way to completely get right up these cunts.  Nice touch with the bananas too

Interesting listen - Sturgeon at LSE:

 

had to laugh tonight when i got home as my dad went off on a bender because i will not vote Labour. Claims if we all vote SNP up here the tories will win the general election.

 

Yet just 6 months ago he was the FIRST one voting for the tories through Labour. All i will say not matter what happens in a few months time, the 55% of the country had a chance a slim one to be RID of the Tories for good.

 

Wait and see the death of the army, death of the nhs, death of Christianity in this country when the tories along with the UKIP get into power.

 

That sounds fantastic.

 

 

Take it from me, the worst thing that can happen to the UK or Scotland is the death of the NHS.

 

Regardless of how shite you think it may be, how long waiting lists are, or how poor the standards might appear, you honestly don't know how good you have it until you live somewhere that you have to pay for medical care.  I am currently paying around £450/month for medical cover and I am lucky enough to have the funds to do so.  If I wasn't then I'd more than likely be self medicating or thinking, "do i really need to go get that dull ache in my kidneys seen to or will I just ride it out?".

 

I simply cannot stress how terrible it is walking into an emergency ward or doctors clinic, reaching for your wallet and thinking “Am I covered for this?  Can I afford it if I’m not?  How much is it going to cost?”

 

Free health care for ALL should be the bare minimum that your taxes pay for.  Medical care should not be a privilege.  Remember when we used to laugh at Americans for having to pay for health care?  No good can come from heading in that direction, it's a massive step backwards.

 

The powers that be have continually and intentionally ran the NHS into the ground, worked the staff to breaking point and lowered budgets to make it unmanageable.

 

How many times have you heard about someone waiting years for an operation?  How many sob stories in the papers have you read about someone who was left to die in a corridor because there wasn't enough beds?  How many reports have you seen on the evening news about someone being turned away then kicking the bucket at home shortly after?

 

It's a fucking disgrace, but not because of the NHS, they're the ones trying to look after you despite being shackled.

 

The government are running it into the ground so that when they sell it off to their mates', the companies that are in bed with the government, we'll all rejoice that we're getting a tip-top service.  The hospitals will be like 5 star hotels, the beds will be lush, you'll have a flat screen tv in every room and you'll be paying fucking megabucks for it.  Every scan, every jab, every check-up, every rubber glove will appear on your bill.  You'll be lining the pockets of millionaires and MP's who will be profiting off of the sick and elderly.

 

It's fucking disgusting and simply cannot be allowed to happen.

 

Regardless of what you think of this guy, get past it, and listen to the facts:
