Re: Thursday 15th.Jun 2016
For a government that's managed to stifle and over ride naughties with a pig, the Panama papers, election fraud, expense scandals, and all sorts of nefarious schemes, u-turns and cock-ups, they'll do their 'ignore it, no comment, and it'll soon go away' party piece.My concern is about what's happened today and its direct application to what will happen now, in both the immediate and long term future. This is the wrong day for semantics.

I think we started saying this in the pre-nesting days, so that's at least four years ago. Still, pandering to pig-ignorance has long since triumphed over historical awareness, so who on earth takes any satisfaction in being proven sickeningly correct?

Re: Thursday 15th.Jun 2016
The "infidels" are now trying to back-pedal. That link has gone and there's some mealy mouthed cant that says they "don't support murder". And how they really, really disapprove of the way "the left" is "politicising" Jo Cox's death. Whether this is on their own initiative or because Facebook was making threatening noises following complaints, who can say.TobyLatimer wrote:From The G.Fuck their new audience.
Their claims of not supporting violence are more than a bit undermined by their extensive and very enthusiastic support for violence on the streets of France. Including pictures of their fellow travellers rather illegally letting off flares in the street. Which the police might just find very interesting, assuming they don't stroll round Facebook as part of their normal beat and haven't seen them already.
England's finest football hooligans. Not just hypocrites, but very, very thick hypocrites.
BF, on the other hand, has a hand-wringing statement from the leader, which I won't bore you with other than to say he does his best to tell the mob not to say or do anything embarrasing. Below which the finest specimens of aryan manhood let theirnleader down by arguing out at great mis-spelt length whether Jo Cox was killed by the "Remain" campaign so they can call off the referendum or whether the murderer was really a Muslim who's being protected by the police/NWO/Spectre/Fu Manchu...
Business as usual from the far right then. The leaders point the way, trying to not quite cross the line, then say it's nothing at all to do with them what their followers do.
Murdoch, Dacre, Rothermere, Cameron, Crosby and Farage truly deserve to spend a very long time in one of Dante's nastier circles of hell for what they've done to this country. Not only does Cameron promise a referendum, he lets the far right turn it into what they've wanted since 1948. A chance to build a head of steam for "send them all back where they came from."
And a special mention for David Blunkett. A once upon a time left-winger and decent human being who opened the door for all of this with his attacks on "bogus asylum seekers" nearly 20 years ago. And the succession of New Labour Home Secretaries who carried on where he left off.
I'm getting tired of calming down....

Re: Thursday 15th.Jun 2016
11.35: That’s quite a high turnout for a by-election in poor weather, and it is sounding like positive news for Labour – although nothing can be confirmed concretely at this point.
We’re expecting to get a bit more information around midnight.
11.25: Turnout just confirmed: 42.5 per cent. That’s down from 69.7 per cent last year.

“First of all, I would like to give my profound thanks to the people of Tooting for electing me as their MP.
“But my thoughts and prayers are with Jo’s husband and her children. She was a proud and passionate campaigner who will be desperately missed.
“Jo’s death reminds us that our democracy is precious but fragile – we must never forget to cherish it. Thousands of people voted today and we are all here in recognition of our democratic values.
“I would like to thank the police for all the hard work they have done today, not just here but across the country.
“I would like to thank the returning officer and staff for their efficient and smooth running of this by-election, and I would also like to thank my agent and his campaign staff.
“I would like to thank the other candidates for the respectful way in which this by-election has been fought.
