    What's funnier? Torys getting a kicking at the local elections or Torys trying to put a positive spin on getting a kicking at the local elections?

      probably the tories putting a positive spin on "everything" based on their ONE win, that is the Tees Valley Mayor

      @@darrell190967 That's not a real win. That's a successful defence with a reduced majority. It's like everyone got fired but one guy managed to hang on with a reduced salary. And it is a reduced salary equivalent because he will not be able to try the kind of dodgy stuff he did in the previous term.

      @michaelmouse4024: Oh, the Tories getting a good kicking, undoubtedly. Every time.

      Is Hislop a Tory? He used to be a big fan of Vince Cable.

    Considering the near zero coverage the establishment press gives us coming second was a miracle.

      I love that bit. They're trying to find the road to someplace, and Mr. Hilter is perusing a map of Stalingrad instead of Crumbsley-on-Pish or wherever. And the landlady is like "You wouldn't have had much fun in Stalingrad, would you!?" and Hilter grumbles, "Not much fun in Stalingrad, no" with resentful despondence.
