In the Euros we had a split vote between a first seat for the Scottish Greens and a third seat for the SNP, and UKIP sort of welled up between it.

Well, and fifteen (out of 129) in the more proportional Scottish Parliament. Hell, after the Wild Tory Momentum that they claim exists this election they might get up to nineteen, maybe.

He only got 140,534 votes. But turnout was pitiful, only 33%. UKIP will always have an advantage at EU elections because the people who vote for UKIP just inherently care more about the EU than anyone else. Nature of being effectively a one issue party. Combine that with the Lib Dem vote collapsing post-coalition, so it goes, we're cursed with that muppet.

A very similar group of people to the utter twats who made Nigel Farage an MEP - apathetic people who couldn't be arsed to vote. Wait, well, those are the people to blame, not necessarily the people who voted.

Yep, up here we counted it on a Sunday afternoon with about 150 staff. For contrast, Parliamentary elections and Council elections are counted overnight with 300+.

Posters and T-shirts to promote the drive (pdf), which is taking place this weekend, included the words “spic and span ma’am”, prompting people to suggest that by missing out a “k” on “spic”, the organisers had inadvertently used a racial slur.

she was apparently the blowjob queen of hollywood

lmao

quote:

According to Kitty Kelley's biography, the future first lady "was renowned in Hollywood for performing oral sex." Back when she was Nancy Davis, the actress reportedly went down on many an actor "not only in the evening but in offices. That was one of the reasons that she was very popular on the MGM lot." You have to shift your conception of '80s conservatives around a little to buy this, but it's worth the effort.

To be anything other than utterly ambivalent to the demise of Nancy Reagan suggests a severe lack of prespective imo. She's not really up there with her husband or our Maggie.

Honestly, at this point British people hate everybody (including each other). Everybody except the Spanish. And maybe the Japanese.

Why do they have it so good? Everybody is entitled to be descriminated against!

quote:

A millionaire property developer has been cleared of raping a teenager after claiming he accidently tripped and fell on her.

Ehsan Abdulaziz, 46, was accused of forcing himself on an 18 year-old-girl who had slept on his sofa in his Maida Vale flat after a night out drinking.

The businessman had already had sex with the teenager’s 24-year-old friend, whom he already knew, in the bedroom and said his penis might have been poking out of his underwear when he fell on the teen.

The young woman said she had woken up in the early hours of the morning, with Mr Abdulaziz on top of her, forcing himself inside her.

He claimed he had gone to see if the young woman wanted a t-shirt to sleep in, or a taxi home. But he said she pulled him on top of her and placed his hand between her legs.

Vigorously.

I feel a cheer whenever another bigot drops off the planet, but she was the driving force behind much of the most heinous poo poo the Reagan presidency did.
