Surmising that the swing came from ukip!
Ever since he declared he wanted his life back, he's never been off TV.
I guess so.Surmising that the swing came from ukip!
It usually isYou surmise correctly, in part, but the turnout was vastly larger this time, so partly from these extra folk too plus a diminished Lib Dem vote. It is a foregone conclusion in my constituency. The only time I ever remember a non-Tory MP was a local Lib Dem in a bye-election, and that was very brief.
And who let Libyan "freedom fighters" in and out of the country with no restrictions? You know, those Libyans just like the ones behind the Southwark attack? Did somebody mention Theresa? Get back to the Daily Mail website.what a pathetic thing to say. McGuiness at that time as you well know was the deputy leader in NI and no longer a terrorist. Corbyn and Abbot were supporting active terrorists.
Yes - did you see the utterly disgusting front page of the Stun yesterday? It ought to be illegal. Murdoch = not wanted here.I don't know @dbr10 , given the fact that most people had wrote Corbyn off (including some in his own party)and the right-wing press were never off his back it is a spectacular achievement, I'm no fan of the guy but you have to give credit were credit is due.
A comeback to nowhere - just like where he started out from and ended up. The everyday, man-in-the-street public school educated stockbroker and commodities trader - a real man of the people (not!).
Not all former UKIP voters switched to the Conservatives. Many, some surveys said half, went to Labour. As working class 'left behind' people they couldn't bring themselves to vote for a party which is primarily for the rich.Surmising that the swing came from ukip!
But the BBC and right wing front pages adore him. The BBC give him airtime on about 25% of their politic programmes and invite him to comment on anything and everything. I have never heard of a response when asked why they do not extend as many or rotate invitations to the other political parties. The EU ought to charge him for all his over indulgencies on the gravy train. Westminster is bad enough but Farage is a complete something in comparison.A comeback to nowhere - just like where he started out from and ended up.

No, I missed it but he has a malign influence. We can see this all the time on Faux News. The constant drip, drip, drip of misinformation, paranoia and distrust of the State over the last thirty years from Hannity, Beck, O'Reilley et al. Viewers have a narrow self selected world view because they only listen to opinions they agree with. This us the role given to The Sun in the UK. It is very effective sadly.Yes - did you see the utterly disgusting front page of the Stun yesterday? It ought to be illegal. Murdoch = not wanted here.
I think that is true.Not all former UKIP voters switched to the Conservatives. Many, some surveys said half, went to Labour. As working class 'left behind' people they couldn't bring themselves to vote for a party which is primarily for the rich.
I think you're right. The amount of air time the BBC give him is very strange. Out of all proportion to his importance. The "oxygen of publicity" and all thatBut the BBC and right wing front pages adore him.

I have noticed the £ has taken a dump against the Australian $, it is now worth $1.6927.
My UK pension will not be worth a cracker shortly.
The £ has been on the slide since the populace voted for Brexit, it will not get better with a coalition government.Don't worry it will pick up, the value plummets in times of uncertainty, as this is when risks are higher as they cannot be foreseen.

Cannot think of anything positive for the currency I am afraid. Perhaps you can find joy in the thought you are not living here for the next 2 years. The PM triggered Article 50 and we end our membership of the EU exactly 2 years later full stop. Well unless 27 other nations agree to an extention and since most of their leaders have been insulted by past and present members of the Conservative party that does seem to be unlikely. You may get a few laughs. It is certainly going to be a fun coalition. The DUP is anti abortion, anti same sex marriage and has several creationist and climate change deniers amongst its ranks. The British anti Trump press is going to get in a twist squaring that circle. Not to mention the leaders connection to a monumental farce of a heating scheme that made farmers heat empty barns. I rather suspect that they are going to be pro hunting with dogs as well. I know the legislation was widely disregarded but its existance did make me feel we were civilised.The £ has been on the slide since the populace voted for Brexit, it will not get better with a coalition government.
I wish you all well with the DUP propping up TM's government. Boris Johnson will hopefully back stab her for the PM job and party leadership.The DUP is anti abortion, anti same sex marriage and has several creationist and climate change deniers amongst its ranks.
