As if this weren't worrying enough, this happens, which is frankly terrifying. I've never been more glad to have left Yorkshire behind for good, and I'm ashamed to think my birth place will now be represented in the European parliament by nazis.
Happily the electorate in my adopted home are much saner it seems... well except for those kooky Western Islanders who refuse to count their votes on the Sabbath, meaning the rest of us have to wait... initial results are heartening though for the (paltry*) six seats which represent Scotland. We're looking set to return Nationalists too but ours are not the crazy bigot variety.
I'm genuinely saddened and bewildered at the English results. Roll on independence if that's the way England is headed.
*For comparison, Denmark and Finland get thirteen each, and yet people use "our voice in Europe" as an argument against independence...
