Must keep up with Sky News, make that a gain of 60 so far.
Declared results so far show UKIP have taken 42 seats so far. That's 35 more than the last local election and have taken 9 in Essex, that's 9 more than last time. It might well be me digging deep and adding to the Shrimperzone coffers but credit where it's due, this is a fantastic showing by us fruitcakes and loonies.:smile:
Now 74/5 councillors.I'll start to get nervous if it gets over the 100 mark.I agree-FWIW-that a protest vote of 25/26% is impressive but the point is that UKIP still doesn't have a single elected MP or control of a major county council.
Already seen some Tory bellend wittering on about how they are "going to listen to the people", yeah whatever.
Up to 144 now..
I certainly would NEVER vote for Amess & the local Southend Tories are not trustworthy either. Local labour are not people I would have trusted with my dinner money let alone a huge budget and the Liberals...........
Locally some of the independents talk sense and do appear to have genuine good intentions.
Something about a fool and his money being soon parted...
Their website is running very slow, if at all when I try to load it. Can understand them getting a lot of traffic today, but if they cant run a website how will they run a country:smile:
Listen to the people and do nothing.
As I said above my main issue is the EU open border policy and Ive seen MPs openly asked what they think they should do and all the reply is stuff about non-eu immigration which isnt the problem. They clearly have no power to change it nor the will to try.
