    When you're one of two candidates, and still manage to finish in third place...Is it time for him to go?

    What must the ones he beat for the role be like?

    Disingenuous at best. A third (give or take) of the electorate don't vote at all, that demographic top the poll in a lot of seats.

    You can say a lot with stats, most of it meaningless, poor fare old chap, very poor fare.

    It is one thing to look at when weighing up a potential rise or fall in GDP.

    The UK's figures hit an all time low in April which suggests our GDP is tanking quicker than anticipated.

    Rural council votes to stop flying flag of St George claiming it is offensive to town's 16 Muslims because of links to CRUSADES
    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...laiming-offensive-Muslims-links-Crusades.html

    "
    Muslim Council of Britain spokesman Nasima Begum said her group encouraged the flying of the St George’s flag.

    She said: ‘St George needs to take his rightful place as a national symbol of inclusivity rather than a symbol of hatred.

    'St George actually lived before the birth of Islam and should not be associated with any hatred of Muslims.’

    And Rizwan Ahmed added: ‘It is political correctness going a bit too far.

    'Use by the far right is one thing, but to say that Muslims are offended I don’t think is correct.'

    ‘I think if anything this will harm understanding of Muslim people, and it feeds into the ideas that some people have of “Oh, here they go again, pandering to the needs of Muslim people”, when actually it is not offensive.

    ‘I can see why they have done this, but it really is too far.

    'They are being overly sensitive, and making assumptions about what Muslims will be offended by."

    This is typical of crazed lefties who think normal people are offended but they don't know what they are talking about.

    ‘In actual fact we are normal people.

    'We have a sense of humour and have the same concerns as everyone else - we are not just some single group.’

    Probs a good time to invest in a flag factory as it goes. Nationalism is on the rise everywhere, and those ******s do love a fleg.
