    First again.

    It pays to stay up late in Los Angeles.

    Hey Stacy, gold is shining brighter today. Silver is beautiful too, doing some pushups and getting in shape.

    By the way – turns out you can eat gold. You can drink it too if you buy yourself some goldschlager.

    Beaten by mother earth. How do you like them apples?

  4. I’m waiting for them to be ‘hanged’!

  5. Caroline Lucas of the Green party was elected for Brighton Pavilion and the BNP’s big hope was shat upon.

    So it’s official no one know what’s happening or what to do!
    yay the great British public. (go Lab/Lib go) as long as we get PR.

  6. oh yeah, WTF was up with the Dow yesterday?

  7. Results as they stand at the moment
    Seats: 288 Con, 241 Lab, 51 Lib, 27 Others. 43 seats to declare.
    National vote: Con 36% Lab 29% Lib 23% Others 12% Brown still PM.

  8. @gonzomarx – wow, thanks for that info on Caroline Lucas winning Brighton . . . doesn’t this make her the very first Green Party MP?

  9. This was a big story from last night

    Anger mounts over problems that left thousands disenfranchised

  10. Yup the she’s the 1st Green MP and in a hung parliament she could have slightly more sway than normal

  11. Brown MUST stay in power!!

    That way the Ponzi hampster wheel of spiralling debt can keep spinning!

    Courtesy of Paul Mason on the BBC last night:

    “Obviously the markets have the jitters over Greece and the survival of the Eurozone. But City types are telling me it’s almost certain to be what they call a “fat finger” trade.That is, somebody probably hit the wrong key.”

    So, the Dow meltdown was caused by a fat handed twat! Enjoy……

  13. I think every one is keen to kept feeding that hamster so no worry on that score.
    612 seats declared out of 650 so far. not over yet.

  14. @Hawkeye
    Really a FAT Finger!! really…..
    I bet it was the middle finger.

  15. Where is the info on Brown’s bottom?

    Urban dictionary: “Hung Parliament – The term originates from the United Kingdom, and arises from a situation when the government becomes so full of dicks that voters lose faith. When a general election happens, no majority is declared and a hung parliament occurs.”

    In my book, that’s a great thing, the only way a half real democracy can work. When no one has the majority power then they’ll have to cooperate with one another. Through that process cases that most agree upon gets through (representing the vast majority of different people) and those special one party cases don’t. I do see the need for a strong leader in the midst of a chaos but hey, that’s why you got the Queen…right?

  18. If people are stupid eneogh to still believe in the two party system they deserve what they get.
    I carn,t believe 60% are not donkey voting.
    Better to waste your vote showing displeasure than be trapped into playing their farsical game.

  19. What are the chances of US style shenanigans in Great Britain?

    Quite a lot is at stake, you can not have the people muddle up all these fragile and complex economic problems right now.

  20. “Fat Finger” trade. Is this for real? I heard someone made £350,000 this morning as a result.

    I’d be surprised if the battered Nick Clegg has the stomach to be king maker after such a terrible night for him. It’d be very controversial. God knows. There’s a lot of enthusiasm for a hung Parliament though.

    PS- If the Tories do end up in power, demand for Scottish independence will surge. They’re despised up here. Interesting times.

    I always suspected that fact, amazing info how everything real everything gets controlled (next step is a online network which sends the data in realtime)
    thanks, dan

    I am personally a massive fan of the British electoral system.

    Lib Dems can get about 23% percent of the popular vote but only about 10% of seats.

    That said however, It doesn´t go far enough IMO.

    We here are working on a plan: How can one can get 80% of the popular vote and get 10% of the seats?

  23. For anyone who missed it(and for phil who used to link to the fkn newz all the
    time)

    Watch Derek (Deek) Jackson from the landless peasant party,raised left fist
    and sunglasses, standing behind Gordon Brown thanking his voters.

    Remarkable how gordon avoids handshake and the camera desperatly tries to keep Deek out of the picture.

    Great entertainment:

  24. Why do my posts disappear?

  25. Yes the British parliament is hung.

    Yeah baby, yeah! :P

  26. @Grisu

    Good find… I had to look a few times because I couldn’t believe they would let Deek stand there like that, but it appears to be real !!! :lol:

    BTW…
    We have Minority Gov’ts in Canada REGULARLY,
    So why do Brits call it a HUNG Parliament?
    It sounds so nasty, or quasi-pornographic…
    It turns out, they are more efficient and better for a democratic country, since all legislature has to have approval across ideologies…

    Anyways the British will still get it in the arse. I won’t change one thing. The Greeks voted for the “Socialists”. Did it changed one thing ? You are going to get it real bad even with an hung parliament. Still waiting with excitment a huge downgrade by the rotten rating agencies of the United Kleptocrat.

  28. Even though we have a minority government in Canada our pimp minister runs it like a dick tator prick that he is.
    Big phony neocon asshole

  29. What does it matter who got elected. Hung parliment, majority whatever. The banks and the international elitists have inflitrated all aspects of gov’t and are able to push forward any agenda that suits them. Sure you can vote on garbage collection, and dog collar issues, but anything to do with your debt slave status and farm stock standing will never be allowed. Yes, the illusion of your freedom is dangled in front of you like a carrot, but your not given the teeth to be able to consume it.

    @DepressionAlert

    Greece is a fine example of what you are saying. Even if the Communist party got elected, bankster would find a way of buying the little whores. Did you know that Lenin “Communists” were financed by the Warburg family and the the Kaiser Wilhelm ? Surrealist indeed. At the time the “revolutionnaries” were given 20 millions gold deuschmark of solid gold. The mutiny of the Potemkine wasn’t an spontaneous event. The “Communists” paid all the officers in gold once to “revolt”. Amusing. Gold is very useful even for a revolution. They never mention what the Warburg familia received in exchange for the loan. Germany obtained armistice and 25% of Russia’s terrotory by comrage Lenin, a traitor and you guest it, a bankster’s puppet frome the start ! :)

    Just imagine if the Lesbian Cowboy had a MAJORITY GOV’T ?!?!?!?
    Think about that for a bit…
