Poll card is next to the door waiting. Polling station is 4 doors down from my new abode. 20 seconds to get there.
You have the right to your opinion, I have the right to mine. In my opinion, Farage is a crook and a shyster, and anyone who votes for him is a mug.
Now at last we can agree on something at least.......We all have a right to an opinion!!
What could be popular about that bunch of spaffers and old drippers? Labour votes you say? Based on what? That bloody tooth fairy again. It's the Tories getting hammered Labour going to suffer to. I'm not fond of polls but have a look at at this:-
"Nigel Farage’s Brexit party is on course to secure more support at the European elections than the Tories and Labour combined, according to the latest Opinium poll for the Observer.
In the most striking sign to date of surging support for Farage, the poll suggests more than a third of voters will back him on 23 May. It puts his party on 34% of the vote, with less than a fortnight before the election takes place. (so 66% going elsewhere).
The poll suggests support for the Conservatives has collapsed amid the Brexit uncertainty, with Theresa May’s party on just 11%. Labour is a distant second, on 21%. The Lib Dems perform the best of any of the openly anti-Brexit parties, one point ahead of the Tories on 12% of the vote".
Jab
Nigel Farage with then NF co-chairman Martin Webster
OK If we are being pedantic (in our system where no-one ever gets over 50%) then they will lead the popular vote.
Did participants have to pay £50 to join that one too? Might explain why it was so sparse.
The new Vauxhall Brexit, it looks like it's heading one way, moves in a completely different direction and ultimately, you've no idea where you'll end up

definitely moving to the far right!
Easy. Here goes.
Scene: EU Parliament interior.
Camera pans across concerned faces of MEPs.
Close up of Nigel Farage: "I've been voted here to make Brexit happen. The people who voted for me seemingly didn't care that I had no manifesto. But I consider their vote allows me to do anything that I consider might help deliver Brexit. In my sincere and honest opinion, that mandate means that we must stop the EU ever allowing in any refugees under any circumstances and repatriate everyone who's ever moved to the EU from outside. You see, I have X million voters who support my policy - they all voted for me. They gave me a blank cheque, now I'm using it. I speak for them all, particularly one vocal voter from Lincoln who gave me his vote despite not knowing what I'd do with it. This is the policy I promote and I do it in their names."
Cut to pandemonium across Britain as Brexit voters realise what they have done, namely to give a mandate for anything their glorious leader decides.
Scene ends.
World's attention was obviously off Trump for more than 5 minutes. He had to come up with something: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-48289550
I prefer the old transfer rumours thread in the summer months, because at least there is a glimpse of reality.
An interesting watch.
