    Nah! I am not Cornish, I emigrated here about 14 years ago. Even after that time the buggers here won't speak to me!

    Nationalists threaten OAP at polling station.

    Police are investigating complaints that voters were threatened by nationalists outside polling stations.
    Former Army medic David Llewellyn, 83, said he was confronted by two men in the constituency represented
    by Scotland's only Tory MP.
    He said they were wearing SNP badges and told him to produce his "voting card" which he declined to do, before
    asking who he was voting for.
    Mr Llewellyn again refused, and said the men then told him that if he did not vote for the SNP he would "get done"
    the pensioner drove away, fearing for his safety.

    SNP "Scottish National Party", ???????

    New Name...SNP "Scottish Nasty Party"...or...SNP "Scottish Nazi Party".

    That's an appalling story Fred, and whilst I am not a supporter in any shape or form of
    the SNP I don't think for one moment Nicola Sturgeon and her decent majority of supporters would condone these thugs and their cowardly actions. Hope that pensioner was not too intimidated and had the presence of mind to drive straight to a police station. If I hear an update on this will of course let you know.

    My polling info arrived on the day of the election, on a late shift, hence was robbed of a right to vote. Guess someone, somewhere planned much that way. The country will know within 5 years if the decision was best for Britain. K

    “I feel like a right has been taken away from me,” she said. “One of my colleagues had the same problem but was told they would try and process it today, although there was no guarantee, but that option wasn’t given to me. It seems ridiculous. Everyone’s saying how close the election is, how important it is to vote.”

    Next tIme ? K

    This election has been a demonstration of democracy in action. many may not like the outcome but that I am afraid is the nature of politics.
    This had been a case of the British people toying with the concept of a new style of government where smaller parties combined with a larger held sway, no doubt in the idea that I would lead to a fairer society. But the are a stoic nation and in the end saw that such a style would not deliver what was required. Conservatism has long been a corner stone of English life style and the minor parties, though I am sure meant good did not have the answer.
    With the various party leaders now gone I doubt any apart from Labour will survive to the next election.
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    That is because there are now more and more of them, I am surrounded, that is why I didn't bother to vote,
    She is the one who I have written to FIVE Times regarding the USHAKOV MEDAL for the Arctic Convoys. she ignored everyone.
    She does frequent visits to Saudi and Pak is tan campaigning for the rights of moo slims.
    I have NO Democracy, I now live in an Alien Country.

    #28- Perhaps Kong you should configure your keyboard to the Pashto dialect, and use auto translate to submit your 6th request to the lovely yasmin. I'm sure you'll get a result.

    Dear Brian
    i am so sorry that you feel you couldn't vote.I vote for many reasons ;- because I pay my taxes and I hope that the Government will use them wisely !
    Also, because I am a woman. 100 years ago women suffered torture and force-feeding to get the vote.
    My Mum always told me that ONE vote could change the world. A couple of hundred years ago the Founding Fathers of America voted for English or German to be the national language. English won by one vote.
    Hitler came to power in the 1930s by one vote.........
    Then there are many people around the world who are denied a vote.
    It's the final snowflake that breaks the branch.
    This isn't meant to sound like a sermon. Sorry if it does.
    regards
    Brenda
