40% of votes cast so far are UKIP. If this was repeated nationwide on Thursday, Nigel would have an appointment with H.M. Friday morning.




But as he won't, it proves this is a load of complete tosh.

The rhubarb is back to where it was before - it grows so fast at this time of year. It really is such durable stuff. It can take a fuel tanker parked on it one summer. So long as no-one comes with a spade and digs up the crowns.

I think you or Howdi has enough votes to write a short article for sky news or the metro now:
Survey of 100 on the betfair forum:
Throw in some obvious stuff about betfair forumites believing in responsible gambling, only betting with money you can afford to lose, betting in good faith ( that's all in the terms and conditions of this site anyway ), add in a caricature of us being blokes who have all spent minimum 5 years in front a computer dressed in pyjamas and you can pad out a 250 word article for them.

Yes, I think you are right Bongo, 67 votes and 33 abstentions seems about right. Very few over the last 24 hours.

I will set a time of 10pm today for closure of the polling station. It's Howdi's thread so perhaps he should be writing to sky news as suggested.

:: Follow the election results live on skynews.com, our mobile apps and on Sky News TV from 10pm on Thursday.

One of UKIP's candidates has been suspended for apparently making racist comments and threatening to murder a political rival.

Robert Blay, who was standing in North East Hampshire, has been suspended with immediate effect, the party has confirmed.

It comes after the Daily Mirror published a video of Mr Blay apparently threatening to shoot his Conservative rival for the seat, Ranil Jayawardena.

Sky's Robert Nisbet said the footage, which was secretly recorded at a party event in Kent on Saturday, was a "serious headache" for the party.

:: Full Coverage Of General Election 2015

UKIP said in a statement "the views expressed by Mr Blay are abhorrent" and that he was suspended "as soon as they were brought to our attention".

In the video, Mr Blay notes his rival has been tipped as Britain's first Asian prime minister.

He then reportedly said: "If he is I will personally put a bullet between his eyes.

"If this lad turns up to be our prime minister I will personally put a bullet in him. That's how strong I feel about it.

"I won't have this f***** as our prime minister. I absolutely loathe him."

Fair enough, plenty of evidence against that guy there.

Cannot hold a party responsible for a d1ckhead, after all the racist Diane Abbott has failed to hurt the labour party with her tweets.

Friend sent me an article some years ago, about Tory/Labour/Libdim councillor`s all over the UK that had been tried in courts for all sorts of crimes.

Most of these crimes were unreported in the media but could be googled at the time, media usually biased when reporting such things, dependent usually on the owner`s political preference.

Would not consider UKIP any more fascist than the mainstream party`s in my experience of reading controversial press.
