.....11:55 Brian Stimpson, who has lived in Clacton since 1948 tells the BBC: "The result is fantastic. I was at the town hall last night till 4am. I was always a Tory voter but I'm not any more. This country needs a change. We are in a mess. We've got to get out of the EU. The future doesn't look too bright unless there is a dramatic change-and UKIP offers that."...

11:49 Mr. Straw acknowledges the last Labour government made a "mistake" when it failed in 2003 and 2004 to put in place transitional controls for immigrants from countries that had recently joined the EU......

11:38 Owen Jones, columnist for The Guardian, tells the BBC the by-election results show "our political elite is a walking, talking disaster". The Conservatives and the Labour leadership have "failed to provide solutions to the everyday problems of people".

UKIP won big in one seat and came within two percentage points (600 some votes) of winning a Labour seat in the by-elections yesterday in the UK.

UKIP is rising, a real change party that wants to secure its country's borders.

NIGEL FARAGE IS MY PRESIDENT......

Kudos to the British press! The NYT and WSJ will NEVER admit that both Democrats and Republicans are Big Government offenders who should be relegated to the dust bin of history.

The UK RINO’s call themselves the “Conservative Party” but their detractors call them the “Lavatories”.

Was watching BBC International earlier today. They scoffed at the results, saying that this district was filled primarily with old white people.

That’s what the MSM types say about the Taxed Enough Already Party in this country.

RINO stands for Republican In Name Only. It is strictly a US term. It is meaningless in the UK.

Realizing that its a term to describe the fake conservatism of the Tories in England or the Republicans in the US is what counts in the end, anyway.
