All those blood suckers in Brussels are counting their last checks between these results and in France. Hopefully an awful experiment is dying done in by unfettered immigration.

Awesome win!

London is still to report along with Northern Ireland.

It’ll be interesting. London is mostly “occupied territory” by foreigners now. Will the remaining Brits there vote UKIP, compromise on Tory, bury their heads in the sand with Labour, or march merrily into hell with the Greens and LibDems?

London is now very much a different country from the rest of the UK.

Somehow I feel the unbiased, detached BBC will report about UKIP with the same smooth neutrality that the NY Times reports about the racist tea party.

UKIP is Britain’s only hope for salvation.

The ConLibLab party and the media all united against the UKIP with calls of racism etc and it backfired.

The nightmare of the Left, is that they call somebody a racist, and people respond with "OK, so?"

At the point when it’s used the same way some folks use “kafkaesque” it essentially becomes a vestigial article signifying nothing.

“Oh, UKIP, is racist? Well, I guess I’ll just have to vote for them anyway.”
