Shapps is likely to be my MP in June. Hurrah!

And to round off a glorious day for the labour party, Gove's wife said this


In what is sure to be seized on as a slight on northern voters, Vine posted a comment on a friend's page declaring: "They will unite with Sturgeon - and take power. The north and then Scotland will then leech of [sic] us until we die."

"Might as well just open a vein and let them have it all now. This country will be a communist dictatorship."

Numptyism not just a UKIP trait clearly.

How did Gove manage to find someone more indignant and moronic than himself?

Grant Shapps never fails to amuse. He's been banned from Wikipedia, but obviously claims the story is libel.

Everything about Shapps is completely fucking insane. I do not get it at all. It is so weird.

 

[JonathanEx]

Piers Morgan re-interviewed by police about phone hacking.

I obviously have no further comment, but feel this is a development others may wish to hear.

Someone should probably inform her that she's married to a Scot

 

[kmag]

Heh, regards of the anti northern sentiment, Gove's wife doesn't think the Tories can win.

Get a good lawyer.

 

[kitch9]

Did we legally classify them as animals though?

Not far off.

Deary me...

Where - or rather, to whom - do I address the letters, though?!

Uhhh...

Uhhh...

Oh dear, seems I got caught out by a joke.

Ah well, it happens to the best of us.

 

[King_Moc]

Not far off.

The treatment of Pakistanis and Indians in the UK was "not far off" from being the same as classifying them as animals and allowing people to hunt them legally for sport?

It was 50 years ago and has nothing to do with the point on hand. I'm not sure why we need to debate it.

A lot has happened and massive improvements worldwide thankfully.

Tories will be up in YouGov/Sun poll tonight, that hack Tom Newton Dunn has creamed his pants on twitter.

There's no way this is legit.

Come on.

That, or a poll specifically on worries to Lab + SNP?

 

[AGoodODST]

I was out canvassing tonight. Passed Jo Swinson on the same street being filmed for Daily Politics.

I may not like her, but I have to admire her ability to walk that ridiculous hill in massive high heels.

 

[JonathanEx]

Channel 4, now, Ballot Monkeys. Burst out laughing on the first line alone.

 

[killer_clank]

That, or a poll specifically on worries to Lab + SNP?

Tiny lead in margin of error poll that confirms that this election continues to be a dead heat, , with the polls not moving at all:

CON - 35% (+1)
LAB - 34% (-1)
UKIP - 13% (-)
LDEM - 7% (-)
GRN - 5% (-)

 

[CyclopsRock]

Does sort of put the "Tory campaign a shambles" malarky into perspective, eh? we care but no one else gives a shit.

That said, Tom Newton Dunn was going on about how "swing voters" were relevant here. I assume he's not talking about the whopping 1% lead, so maybe there's something interesting in the tables. Maybe.

 

[spunodi]

Channel 4, now, Ballot Monkeys. Burst out laughing on the first line alone.

Some quality lines.

"Another report on the Chilcott Report getting delayed"

"Probably waiting until Blair gets Alzheimers"

 

[JonathanEx]

Well, I really enjoyed that.

It's on again next Tuesday - and then it's on three days in a row on the 4th, 5th and 6th.

He's allegedly very active online, I'm gonna watch what I say.

I've actually met EviLore, but I must admit that his Groucho Marx mask was a little bit of an odd choice to wear to the pub.

No....no way. Not even the likes of Rupert Murdoch can match a teenage girl fandom, David Cameron might as well start planning for the 2020 election.

 

[pulsemyne]

Milifandom is now the number one twitter trend in the UK.

No I'm not joking. Social media is going a bit mad over it. Seems like people are quite annoyed at all the personal attacks.

Acknowledgement from the Labour party twitter as well. Haha, this is great.

 

[Walshicus]

Farage just had a bit of a weird interview on Breakfast. Just flat out lied about the cost of health tourism even when called out on it.

And Christian refugees only? Hmm.

Did Cleggmania ever trend back in 2010?

 

[JonathanEx]

For those wondering how come with Milifandom we've had something that want predicted by The Thick Of It, don't worry!

Armando Iannucci had of course explored the world of politician teenage fandoms before: https://youtu.be/j6UA7Gb6koY

Yup, he's been very keen on stressing that, as if the fictional sky daddy that you subscribe to matters.

 

[industrian]

I take it he means Protestant refugees only.

It's either that or this is a loophole for getting more nurses from the Philippines.

Makes me think of that "Are you being sarcastic?" "I don't even know any more" bit on the Simpsons

 

[CyclopsRock]

If it's anything like the rest of the GE, it's probably 10 people being serious and then 50,000 remarking about "omfg I can't believe these guys."

 

[Mr. Luchador]

MadeIn... Tyne & Wear had local candidates having a debate last night, I haven't watched it yet, but found it interesting that they've pulled this together. I guess this will be way more useful to me as it directly influences what happens around where I live.

Fucking hell.

BBC front page please.

Now.

Why would a rather terrible joke by a politician's wife be front page news?

Is the Christian refugees only comment surprising?

He was suggesting the same back in 2013. 'We should only take Christian Syrian refugees, let other countries take the Muslims'.

I know I keep beating this drum, but there's a reason Britain First has latched onto UKIP and it's not because they want the UK to leave the EU...

Britain First, EDL, BNP.....all different shades of the same Black shirt.

UKIP aspire to something higher, I think, I cannot, however, do anything but despise their methodology.

I can't remember how registering to vote works from the last election.

I registered for this one about a month back, but haven't had a voting card through or heard anything else about it. Other members of my family have had their cards, though. Do I need the card? Or if I turn up on the day, will I be on the register and can just do it then on the day?

A little concerned about my registration, and I don't trust Sheffield City Council to do anything even half competently.

It took me about 6 weeks to get mine. You don't need your card in order to vote - you don't need anything at all, in fact - but if you haven't got one, it might suggest something's gone wrong. Give it another week then phone them, I reckon.

Aye, cheers. I'll sit on it another week and get in touch if not. Couldn't remember from last time how long it should take.

This being the council that cancelled it's City's half marathon after runners started running, I'd best check.

Mine arrived... last week maybe, and I'm in Central ward.
