Another example of that fat head Juncker moron of all time.

Quote:

European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker has told a conference in Italy on the EU that "English is losing importance in Europe".
Amid tensions with the UK over looming Brexit negotiations, he said he was delivering his speech in French.
And Luxembourg is soon to become the new European superpower no doubt :har:

Local election results in Scotland:

SNP - good.

SCons - good.

SGreens - good.

SLibDems - holding steady.

SLab - terrible.

To quote Brian Taylor: "Hung politics everywhere." That tends to happen in a Single Transferable Vote system

Council election results: Sturgeon claims victory despite Tory surge:

Not very surprising that, though perhaps not as good as they may have hoped. Ruthie's no doubt very happy, however. Getting a Tory councillor in one of Glasgow's most deprived areas is no mean feat!

Well in my neck of the woods Tories hold Hertfordshire.

And that Peacock Tim had the cheek to be in my town pie high on the results here! So what, the Tories still held Hertfordshire you numbnuts.


Turn out nationally was...

Ready...

You sure you want too know?

20% :o

Wow that is bad, will the general election be better? :hmmm:

Sky News projection: PM could win Commons majority of 48 based on local election analysis
http://news.sky.com/story/sky-news-p...lysis-10864261

Based on 20% I would now say 20-30 majority.

I'm still predicting the Tories will be closer to a majority of 100 or a little over provided the turnout for the general election rises which is highly probable.

Labour is expected to gain more than eighty million seats after Diane Abbott was asked to count the votes this morning.

Plus a extra two million thanks to Putin's cyber results hackers. :03:

I still think that is too high as clearly voter apathy has set in and a lot of people are thinking what's the point the Tories have it in the bag.

The young voters don't count as they are busy having sex, drinking, drugs, staying in bed or clearly have no understanding what day of the week is election day.

The rest of us our working and after getting home may well feel cheesed off and will not bother so it all comes down to the Grey vote and in most part they vote Tory.

Voters will return to UKIP, says Nuttall
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-39829717

I'm not so sure....UKIP have achieved what they set out to do and their vote is changing massively over to the side of the Tories with the emphasis being on who will be the strongest leader to sort out the UK position and the election results of yesterday obviously don't point in the direction of Corbyn.

It was also pretty telling that Burnham didn't stick around to welcome Corbyns visit to Manchester after he (Burnham) had won the mayoral election.

UKIP like the BNP will pass into the history books kicking and screaming before they wake up and see the party booze has all been drunk and the balloons popped and all the guests have gone home.

Jimbuna 05-06-17 09:06 AM

Nigel will do his best to prevent that happening, he has already said he is watching for whatever the details of the Brexit outcome will be in two years time.
