    Putting our football allegiances aside, this considered and erudite dismemberment of lying, cheating and incompetent Johnson is a Tweet (series) to behold. <applause><applause>

    It beggars belief that Esther McVey was born and raised in Liverpool, yet thought "You know what? I do think these Tories are nice chaps, I think I'll join them"

    Just to clarify, that wasn't actually Boris Johnson's article, but one featured in The Spectator, which he was editor of at the time.
    Still a massive twat for that, but he didn't write the piece himself.

    Republicans are happy about the low unemployment at this time.Why? There's a trillion fellas back on the workforce cutting grass for a living.Lasses too!
    Good jobs? Ah! That's something else.
    I feel sorry for the farmers in America. Soybean crop went down the tube last year and with the flooding in many parts of the country....farmers are screwed! So Trump is going to help them out......by screwing someone else...….!
    Don't here Russians complaining,do you? Wonder why?

    If only somebody could bring up this article to Esther McVey, just to see if it leads to her trading barbs with Boris

    ...probably worth doing it now, as it'll take her two weeks to realise she's being insulted

    The only film I've ever seen that took the utter insanity of the sociopaths tanking the economy and made it utterly bloody hilarious

    ...it was a bit of a stretch to pitch it to a guy looking at the DVD with interest in HMV, mind

    Far Right Troglodyte vote switches straight from UKIP to the Brexit (not a) Party but the BBC report this as a major surge in Pro-Brexit vote...... <doh>

    LibDems and Greens showing significant gains however but not getting half as much attention.

    Tories and Labour sinking without trace....

    UKIP vote transferred to Farage.
    Protest against Labour and Tory MP leave debacles divvied up
    between the Libs and Greens.

    37% turnout (effectively 2:1 in favour of 'do not give a f*** either way' ) .

    Apathy is disheartening, particularly when the rest of European voters became more involved.
    Mind you, I guess it also depends whether you include the thousands of non-UK nationals denied a vote in the UK.....

    They would have to number in the millions to have made any
    difference to the UK results as reported.

    The delightful Gavin Esler and slippery Lord Adonis both lose... badly. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer pair of fellows.

    Their "party" is an irrelevance.

    If all their "MPs" resigned to trigger by-elections, and then campaigned
    primarily on what side of the leave divide they stand, they would be
    wiped out by voters that have opposing views +/- are "brood mare"
    constituency morons.
