QUOTE (newres @ May 4 2019, 07:53 AM) In all seriousness though, given that the swing is to the Libdems, if Brexit was a big factor in deciding how to vote, I’d say it was a very good night for Remain. Let wait and see what happens May 23rd. Turnout will be far higher and a brexit option will be on the ballot.

QUOTE (newres @ May 4 2019, 08:56 AM) Did you not see the UKIP results? UKIP virtually died when Nigel quit, however, saying that, their strength has always been in sending MEP's to Brussels. Now we have the Brexit party who are widely tipped to do the same. What I and others were surprised at yesterday was the almost catastrophic failure of labour to punish the Tories. The lib Dems turned out again to be the party of the protest vote with surprising results for the Indies. Mays election will be interesting to watch. I was thoroughly entertained by yesterday's events, it's an (interesting) time for politics.

QUOTE (newres @ May 2 2019, 08:43 AM) Thought of you guys:
�� Today is #LocalElections2019 day!
☑️ NORMAL PEOPLE: Go vote for who you feel will be best to represent you locally. Polls close at 10pm
☑️ GAMMON: Go on your local Facebook group and tell us you won’t vote for the main parties (despite the fact these are local elections), angrily read The Sun or Daily Mail, claim you’re voting Brexit party or UKIP, waddle along to the polling station and spoil your vote...that’ll show ‘em, wallow in your own brine, punch your keyboard, make out the media are hiding the truth, claim the BBC are biased, scrape your dried bodily fluids off your yellow vest, change your profile picture to include a union flag, or a poppy, or a soldier in silhouette [you choose], go back on Facebook and post a badly-photoshopped and pixelated meme containing factually incorrect information, then post another one as not enough people clicked like on the first one which annoyed you, ejaculate over Brexit, get angry whilst watching Question Time, go on Facebook to tell everyone you’re angry watching question time, bring Dianne Abbott into an online conversation despite the fact she’s probably irrelevant to the original post, punch keyboard again, mummy then sends you to bed. Personally, I think children should not be allowed to post here, but as 'newres' is here I may as well respond to his/her trolling ad hominem. 'Thought of you guys' - I'm not sure you are capable of independent thought at all. You post sneeringly about about others posting a meme, but in fact the entire text of your post has been lifted, word-for-word, from a childish online magazine on Facebook. Pot. Kettle. Black. I guess you don't have the intellect to make your own arguments, so borrow other people's lame stereotypes instead. You're the 'knobhead' on this forum, kiddy. P.S. Dianne Abbott is never relevant to anything.

Yes, the only Remain party got far fewer seats than the Tories. What a Remainer Victory... So far we have established that your life skills do not include wit, originality, courtesy or psephology. Are you good at anything?

Except of course, when you drill down into the results the lib Dems did well in some very strong brexit areas but poorly in some remain areas, what was interesting was that the polls were wrong again. Let's see how well lib Dems do in May.

Are you good at anything? Now there's a word we don't see used often enough, psephology. 👍

I hope you had a tissue with you to wipe your ejaculation off the keyboard.

I hope you had a tissue with you to wipe your ejaculation off the keyboard. I'm disappointed. I hoped that by pointing out the dismal calibre of your recent posts, you'd make the effort to say something insightful, or constructve. My low opinion of you was, evidently, still too high. If you are a child, best you go off to a Pokemon forum or whatever entertains children nowadays. If you think are an adult.. well, good luck with that self-delusion. With your inept social skills, inability to put forward an intelligent view rather than attack other's in a childish way, (or simply cut and paste other people's views as you are incapable of formulating a mature one of your own), and your general predisposition to be an idiot, I see a mediocre future for you. Anyway, no point in engaging with you further. If I wanted to read any more crap (I don't), I could just go to the intellect-free sources that you cut and paste from. Bye-bye, kiddie. PS if there are any Remainer adults here I'm perfectly happy to listen to them. This place is a forum, after all. But not a kindergarten.

I'd be looking over my shoulder all day and night if u really believe that... after all extremists often commit acts of extreme violence. I don't quite see JSC or me firebombing you...we wouldn't waste our time and lives on such a saddo. Toodlepip.
