    Yes, Brexit does still mean Brexit. May played a blinder by calling an election on the back of it, however, she nearly completely ****ed up, especially over some of the care policies, that probably and rightly cost her a load of votes.

    The Scots were just as dumb or plain ignorant, they had chance of independence and blew it, maybe they should have read the Conservative manifesto before crossing the box, pretty much Cameron stitched everyone up with his own selfish complacency.

    I think in another 4 years Le Pen could make another come back if things go tits up in France and opinions change.

    We have elections in Germany and Italy around September this year and these could be the deciding factors of what happens next. The Italians are getting restless and were looking at the French outcome, which has probably been the saving grace for the EU - one the most evident factors across Europe is concerns about the Euro, which could lead to people wanting to change back to their own currency, and all this to the mess in Greece and Spain, I suggest people stop worrying about the UK, our decision has been made, it's who will next put a nail in the coffin of the EU and you can be sure we on our little island will have no say in that.

    Thoroughly acceptable effort, well done.

    Grove's manifesto

    All women/girls between 13 and 40 to wear lycra leggings unless a) morbidly obese b) ladymen
    A new offence for any coffee shop worker who asks your name
    New "Suns out, Buns out" law
    Rock out with your cock out Mondays, small penis humiliation will be punishable by castration
    No VAT on fanny rags
    Five year limit on all social housing tenancies
    Compulsory health insurance for all including tourists and visitors, levy on Non-Doms returning for treatment on NHS
    Amnesty on current asylum seekers with a two year embargo on any further immigration until we can count up who's here
    Subsidized swimming, £5 to paddle about in the local pool is extortionate
    All beggars removed from the streets and repatriated if foreign, sent to Luton if not (they won't notice there)
    Five years in chokey for deliberately dropping litter
    All graffiti "artists" made to scrub off their daubed nonsense from railway sidings
    Compulsory music lessons in school studying classical, rock, reggae and soul. No Jazz.
    Tax relief for small businesses with amusing names
    Remove speed cameras from the roads and replace them with cameras at traffic signals to stop red light jumpers
    Staring at tay-tays and going "fwoar!" to no longer be an offence

    Yep, all scum would be locked up or executed.

    The mentally challenged may be excused under certain conditions and circumstances.

    Other than that, you've had it.

    Your ideas on 13 year-old girls and amnesty for asylum seekers would see you hanged without delay.

    You don't have to implement all your manifesto policies, it's more like a pick and mix arrangement.
