I remember when 'Breaking News' actually meant that something really significant and important was happening.

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

1913 people voted for the BNP! wtf!

put those people on a boat and push 'em out to sea

Seriously how do they do that well? I mean it's like the Ku Klux Klan party of Britain.

 

[painey]

320 Houghton & Sunderland South 23:00
551 Sunderland Central 23:30
603 Washington & Sunderland West 23:30

bold = results in

 

[dakster]

11,6 percent swing for washington, conservative. That's some swing.

 

[sohois]

Fantasy supply-side focus. Snake oil economics.

Re-branding of VAST education cuts as "Big Society" through people starting their own schools.

Gutting the BBC and Ofcom to aid a dying Murdoch empire, allowing him to bring Fox-News to the UK via Sky. That alone should be fucking scary enough.

Then you realise the party underneath it all is no different from what they were under that witch in her second term.

I missed your reply before, apologies.

To all of your points i must once again ask for evidence. i would make a more detailed reply, but i wish to pay more attention to the election coverage, and i feel that our debate would get lost in the mass of posts. If it's no trouble, perhaps we could continue this in later?

 

[Wes]

Who is this guy sitting across from Nick Robinson? It's like his grey shadow has taken form and even that is full of political insight.

 

[Raydeen]

oh dear, a sit in at hackney?

Motherfuckers should be lucky there wasn't Uzis and blades! BRRAAPP!!

(smug postal voter)

 

[MmmSkyscraper]

"Let's drill down Emily!"

Yes please.

 

[Hot Coldman]

did you guys choose a new king yet or what

:lol :lol :lol

 

[avaya]

Man I hope you're kidding, cause other wise. :lol

I would go with Arlen Spector.

The first douchebag that I could think of.

 

[Cindres]

Another massive hit for Labour there. 11% swing? Ho-lee shit.

 

[Zenith]

Rich Hall is my favourite.

 

[Kowak]

Wow, 11.6% swing to Conservatives in Washington Sunderland West.
Greater swing than Thatcher and Blair.
Exit polls underestimating Conservatives.
If the swing was nationwide it would be the largest since 1945.

yeah 7% was expected for england. didnt expect 8-11% in the north east

 

[Joel Was Right]

Wtf is this Professor from Oxford talking about with this "if that swing was repeated all across the country.." How does anyone in their right mind even consider the logic that a specific percentage change would be repeated in 326 consecutive seats? Is this all he is going to say tonight because he's already repeated it twice in two different examples.

 

[DECK'ARD]

11.6% swing to the Tories is terrifying

 

[Dr Zhivago]

The hour of Cameruin approaches.

 

[Keyser Soze]

My exit poll is standing up quite well....

 

[MrPing1000]

omg Eric Pickles is a WOLL SMOTH!!!! :lol

The fat has eaten the rest of his face.

 

[CruxisMana]

Washington is a shit hole anyways.

:lol

 

[mckmas8808]

Rick Santorum.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Please tell me Cameron is nothing like Santorum. Please.....

 

[Mr. Sam]

Rich Hall is fucking hilarious. Great rant.

 

[Kowak]

Rent Boy Hughes

 

[Acheteedo]

So... the situation is starting to look worse than the exit polls.

 

[Ushojax]

Bleurgh. Not liking the swings the Tories are getting. I guess all that scaremongering worked.

 

[RichardAM]

If everything goes to hell are we going to have these polling queues down as part of the blame yeah? :lol

 

[Hot Coldman]

Who laminated Mandy's face?

 

[D4Danger]

still whining about the polls closing

they had 15 hours!

These are 2 safe Labour seats where the swing should be smallest. It looks really bad if the swing is so high there, an equal or greater swing could usually be expected across the rest of the seats.

 

[Withnail]

11.6% swing to the Tories is terrifying

[killer_clank]

Saves facepalm gif.

Will be needed a lot tonight by the swing of things.

[Empty]

this is sounding really bleak.

 

[painey]

Mandy and Paxman.. hilarious :lol

 

[Kowak]

So... the situation is starting to look worse than the exit polls.

first of many times i think tonight this will be posted.

I hope Mandy stays till 6am

 

[Stevie Gerrard]

If this NE swing holds up Sunderland Central might be interesting...

 

[Wes]

Hurrah for Emily. Lets have a sit in until Sophie Raworth is seen and not just heard too.

 

[Varion]

Paxman going blind :lol

"I see you on your phone, twittering or something."
"...These are my glasses..."

 

[mckmas8808]

A West Coast or New England Republican.

Okay. Whew. So that other guy was just joking I guess.

 

[J Tourettes]

1913 people voted for the BNP! wtf!

put those people on a boat and push 'em out to sea

How very BNP of you :lol

 

[Gary Whitta]

Mandy and Paxman.. hilarious :lol

Paxman is awesome, I love the way he talks to grown adults like they're naughty school boys and he's the head master. "You've got it in your pocket!"

 

[MrPing1000]

I saw it in your pocket.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Holy SHIT that Stoke bloke is ugly. Looks like Prince Charles looked into the Ark of the Covenant.

 

[Veidt]

You've got it in your pocket!

 

[BGBW]

Woah, Bill Cash out of nowhere. *Zoooom*

 

[pulsemyne]

It's all about the marginals. Any swing in safe seats really should be ignored. These areas have a very low turnout compared to the rest of the country so really ignore it. Some people just can't be asked to vote for the ruling party in a safe seat. We saw some crazy swings in the last election.

 

[J Tourettes]

Hurrah for Emily. Lets have a sit in until Sophie Raworth is seen and not just heard too.

Emily Maitlis is a hard, pointy faced, moose. In person also.

 

[Linkified]

Mandy and Paxman.. hilarious :lol

That was funny.

Paxman : Were you just fidding with your phone
Peter M: No it was my glasses
Paxman : Hang on....

 

[Joel Was Right]

Mandelson reminds me of

I thought i was going mad

So he did say the exact same thing earlier. :lol

 

[Dr Zhivago]

BBC Yorkshire reporting Sheffield Central might have gone LibDem

 

[Keyser Soze]

That guy looks like his head is on upside down
