Never seen it before, although I'd like to think that's how I try to act.

Mates are a waste of ****ing time. They are always ready to drag you down tae their level of social, sexual and intellectual mediocrity.

Pearson's tactics have once again proved to be wrong.

Apart from Ed Balls losing his seat, which is almost worthy of a street party
They put the tories in power for five years and then put them in a position to win a majority. All for the illusion of having a bit of power. They've paid the price for it now, and so has the country.

I like this too. If only most people were that way inclined. Sadly, we're just going to continue to have rich people telling poor people that they have too much money.

All three Leicester MPs re-elected with sizeable increases in their share of the vote. In the county the same for the sitting Tories. It was noticing the lack of Labour posters where you might normally expect them and the UKIP ones in their place that made me realise Labour had no traction in this election.

Well I'm pretty chuffed. Personally I don't mind UKIP, I would love to see some of their proposed manifesto introduced such as the immigration points system but ultimately didn't vote for them because it's almost like a vote for anyone other than Labour or Conservatives would be wasted as no other party is going to get in government. Labour fecked up royally in their last Government, The Tory led coalition government has led the country to a slow and steady recovery over the last few years and deserves a chance to try and continue that growth.

Your view appears to be the prevalent one across England. It is an interpretation of events that hasn't been shown up to be as inaccurate as it undoubtedly is. It is astonishing how a portrayal can become entrenched as fact. For example, Ed Balls is widely ridiculed and called incompetent and there has been much joy at his disposal. However, he was undoubtedly the most qualified and capable economic talent in Parliament. Even many Tories say so, although they're not allowed to say such things publicly.
What we've got today is Scotland veering to the right and England veering to the left. We have the prospect of years of divisive nonsense within the Tories about Europe which will be damaging to us all. The UK will continue to fragment and resort to fear and blame in the absence of sense.
The main casualties will be Milliband, Clegg and Farage all quitting which I think is extraordinary. Unfortunately, there is such a dearth of talent and options that there is no prospect of an opposition that can lead the mood of the country. For Labour, the right move is to go with Dan Jarvis but they won't.
This election is not good for our country.
