Ah, my bad, I couldn't tell if you were being sarcy.
I don't get it. Does anyone here believe it?
fecking speeches are bullshit, you've won now feck off
Looking even more likely that Farage has lost his seat! Arf!
I don't like Farage but it'd hurt UKIP massively if he were to resign.
He's a complete buffoon, definitely wouldn't want him round for dinner. I quite like him nonetheless, he's a character
The marginals are all the Tories' to loseBad feeling Miliuseless hell yeah will get in.
Labour has lost , I'm getting drunk now so whatever I post tonight keep that in mind. I hope I'm wrong but I won't be bugger!
I think my iplayer stream is behind, but the rumours are that Farage has lost 
My area was predicted to swing from Tory to Labour... can see that not being the case going by these polls though.
Cheesy pointed out to me earlier that he has promised to do so of he doesn't win his seat, but I just can't see it, especially if the election has been a success for them overall. Farage will still be top dog, even if he isn't leader. That's why it'll make no sense to replace him.

Amazing result. That Arthur Daley coat of his had convinced me he was a man of the people.
That sentence makes you sound like a UKIP supporter!
...So Paddy Ashdown is going to eat a hat?
Nuneaton should be coming up soonish. If it stays Tory, basically game over.
Just went for a shower after the Sunderland result. Do have to be up early tomorrow though which sucks.
You know me too well. Only got four Stellas left though and no tonic. Drinking vodka with water makes me feel like an alky.@Cheesy not sure how I ended up with so many posts. Nick's are infinitely more insightful than mine, so consider me noise in the background.
With this flawed posting system, every post counts for a...post, or something.
Onto the real questions now. Is Nicola Sturgeon's husband a beard?
I'm of Pakistani origin and was the only minority in a school with 800 white people. I'm not sure whether I got off in racial abuse because Scotland is more progressive or whether because I was 6 foot when I was 14 years old and was friends with most of the people likely to cause trouble. There was a kid from bradford who moved here when he was about 15 and was ethnically indian and got a shit load of abuse in his time at our school so I guess I can't really claim my community was any better.
My family is based in Nelson down in England which seems to be split between the Pakistani community and the English community. The last time I went down there I was amazed by the lack of multicultural presence there. I don't think that kind of community is healthy to be honest and it creates an us against them mentality which I seriously disapprove of. I personally lay the blame towards the pakistani families who prefer to send their kids to mosques and schools where they will never encounter white people. What kind of experience is that?
The truth is that Muslim communities have had a harder time integrating than other migrant groups like Carribeans for example. Near where we live the schools now have to have a mixed quota of ethnicities. Previously the schooling system was more ghettoised for Muslims. I am interested to see if the future generations are more integrated and harmonious because of the new system. I don't see any reason why they shouldn't be.
Even if the exit polls are right a Lab/Lib/SNP informal coalition has to be more legitimate than anything the tories can muster
I highly doubt anyone here believes that. We're posting on an internet forum about the election though which, without meaning to sound up my own arse, we're probably a lot more clued up than the vast majority of the electorate. Most people are way more tribal and have a massive confirmation bias.

Ok I think I'm going to support Newcastle against Sunderland now considering the UKIP love in the latter city
If he's not, he'll certainly be getting plenty of action tomorrow if the forecasts are correct.
Farage vs. The Daily Mail - fight to the death please.
Lib Dem down 22% in Newcastle, from 2nd to 4th.
Still glad I took tomorrow off work to be honest, the triumphalism there will be unbearable.
The Lib Dems have nowhere to go from here. They'll be ruined for at least a generation.
Not over yet, only six results. At least your tax bill won't go up and no VAT on your moat cleaning.
Feck me it is a LibDem bloodbath. Surely Clegg cannot survive this?
A bit like ISIS vs Al Qaeda.
Jesus... Clegg's ruined the Lib Dems! Will be a long time before they can recover from tonight I reckon.
If the exit polls are right,
314 - LibLabSNP
316 - Conservatives
But then 6 more for Greens + Plaid Cymru.
Well, they'll be able to fit all their MP's into the one taxi. Got to take the positives from this.
The triumphalism of a heavily left-wing forum, supposing the Tories win? Still think this has a sting in a tail tbh.
Lib Dems crushed in Newcastle.
A marzipan hat, if you can fathom such a thing
It wouldn't have enough MPs to form of a majority, would need every other centre left party and the DUP.
They coasted on the student vote for years and then shit all over them as soon as he had any sort of power, it was inevitable.
Ease up on the innuendo David.
They knew that when they got into bed with the tories, power grabbing tw*ts
