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)

The wanker got to the Maldives and was told Chagos was out of bounds for him as it’s a military island and he disna have the credentials. The idea of his arriving by a small boat and being telt to fuck off delights me. 

Publicity stunt. Same MO as Greta Thunberg heading for Gaza in the flotilla knowing fine well the Jews wouldn't let her in aboot.

Greta Thunberg provides the most valuable service of any human being that’s alive today. She’s great with all the save the planet stuff but her god given talent is outing wankers.

You can learn absolutely everything about a person based on their opinion of her

So it wasn't a publicity stunt. She didn't realise she wouldn't be allowed to reach Gaza. Of course she knew. She isn't stupid.

First you called me a racist merely on the back of a legitimate question I raised. Now you've decided I'm hating on Thunberg when I've actually highlighted her ability to make the most of the publicity she knew she would attract in a vital propaganda war.

You really need to stop rushing to make judgements. Take a breath and think a little before diving in with both feet. I get that you don't like me and that's fine but at least don't like me for valid reasons. 

Learn to master your impulsiveness 

You give off the impression you type with your forehead

Childish insults now. You're better than that.

About bloody time. Hopefully he'll go on to eventually be charged. Ditto Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. 

There's something very dodgy about Sir Lindsay Harvey Hoyle.

Very dodgy indeed.

Cash and corruption is involved.

Nothing sexually deviant as far as I know.

Yes I was shown that and at first thought it must be a fake but it turns out it's real. Shocking. 

Anyone bothered about who wins in the Gorton and Denton By-election tonight?

Anybody but the Greens, they're batsh!t crazy.

I’d quite like the Greens to win. They’re the only sane party running 

It doesn't really matter who wins, nothing will change.

Would be funny if deform didn't win it and if our known right wing poster thinks the Greens are batshit crazy, then they'll do for me.

If there was any dirt on Polanski at all, we would all know about it by now.

He'll not only be balls deep in dirt he'll be fifty feet under it but like Motherwell he's the media's darling for now so it'll be kept hush hush. For the time being.

Eventually they'll turn on him and bits and pieces will be released.

Between him, Farage, Starmer, Swinney and Badenoch, I think the creepometer would barely move.

Swinney is the least creepy looking bloke imaginable.
