OT - UKIP wiped out in local elections

Tricky will be distraught but no surprise really as "their job is done"

Was done for them by the Conservatives! funny how Cameron a europhile Tory ended up making such a massive cock up but nowhere o i see that lambasted in the press! Imagine if a labour leader had done that, then resigned after saying he would stay and do the job he was elected to do!

I'd imagine there would be headlines from the express and mail about how it showed how unfit Labour were to govern mmmmmmmmm

Under more normal circumstances this would be cause for huge celebration. Sadly, the fact is...once you have a right wing government intent on pandering to the desires of Mail/Express readers there is little need for a slightly more right wing protest party.

Add in the sun and star readers, not many one would think would benefit from the Tories or Brexit for that mater and you begin to see the problem...though can you actually read the Sun?

I believe the Sun does actually have a reading age of around 8, Swale. Says it all.

[roger_ramjet]

I can think of someone who would still be unable to read the Sun then

[swaledale]

Unfortunately there is several million like you know who, a million of whom are presumably the workshy "scroungers" the Sun lambasts on a daily basis!

[roger_ramjet]

Now that's irony for you!!

Lolz. That was my first thought too! The name of their leader now aptly describes the party.
Maybe Tricky should switch allegiance to the Monster Raving Looney Party.
