The Political Thread

[Fungus]

Labour Party would be better with new leader than gormless Ed? Not too late to change the leader?

Yep, Labour should be cleaning up in these difficult times. Ed proving a terrible choice. Seems it's just too hard to find a principled AND popular leader.

Well done England for voting in a racist party. This is why we wanted a yes vote. We don't want to be rules by nazis.

Aren't moderators supposed to moderate, not Godwin threads, Rich?

That was me being moderate!

It would have been interesting to see what his brother would have made of it, I can't imagine he'd try again.

I'm not sure if Chuka Ummuna will put his name up when Miliband goes.

I thought Scotland voted "No".

I thought Scotland voted "No".

55% did. The rest had more sense.

Oh dear...

It makes me laugh when Scottish nationalists attack UKIP for espousing nationalist policies. I guess it looks like there's a difference to you guys, because hating the English is fine but hating Europeans is racist.

However, I am looking forward to engaging in the inevitable EU referendum in defence of the UK's membership.

Unfortunately, we are already ruled by Nazis - it's just that the "main parties" have learned to hide it more effectively.

Are Scottish Nationalists Snazis?

Oh dear indeed. Up here, north of the border, October 9th will forever now be known as England's day of shame. 

By the way, before this gets out of hand, I am joking. I don't agree with the Clacton result but the people have spoken.

This is turning into absolute Nonsense! How is England ruled by Nazis? I don't like the Tories (or UKIP) but to suggest that we are governed by Nazis is just plain Crazy!

Cheers

I believe Sharky is refering to the powers that be being corporate fat cats.

This'll be news to all the English (and Polish, Irish, Swedish, Australian and American) people I know living here in Scotland who voted Yes last month.

The worst thing about the Independence debate was when it was hijacked by outside interests cough Nigel Farage cough who tried to reframe the issue as "Scotland versus England" for their own twisted shit-stirring purposes. Now, that is not to say that there weren't a few YES voters who went into the voting booth with an anti-English sentiment but that is their problem not mine.

Unfortunately, what they've said is: http://youtu.be/2iXPMN_ys8w "We're an uninformed gang of prejudiced fucktards who nothing about UKIP except that Nigel Farage will keep those nasty foreigners out of this 90%+ white English town and do something about all those stupid human rights we have."[/url]

Bah.
