Dutch Eurosceptic Geert Wilders had predicted a political “earthquake” in the European Union’s marathon parliamentary election that kicked off on Thursday, but at least in the Netherlands the tremors weren’t nearly as strong as polls had forecast. Read full article

    And Britain leads the way again! Fighting against the ineffectuality of France's Hollande, the fascism of spain's Rajoy, the German supremacist Merkel, the unelected Portuguese communist, Barroso and that self-important little Luxembourger, Reding. Britain ready to sail to FREEDOM. Continent cut off. Descending into the fascist spanish, quasi-napoleonic, fourth reich. And soon we'll even be able to punish scotch traitors. Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow can become as English as Berwick. And by the same means. We can re-open the military bases in order to control the peasant population. Freed of all that “heritage” nonsense, WE can bulldoze and get the peasants out ploughing, planting, weeding and harvesting. They have to be useful for something. and if they refuse to work? Throw them to the pigs!

    Well... No. (1) is certainly voting UKIP tomorrow...
    Any other British Turnips that want to register their preferances?

    You know fully well that both the UK and the Netherlands voted last Thursday 22nd.

    In any event the EU political earthquake epicentre is predicated to hit further west of the dutch coast, at around 9:01 PM GMT.

    Geert Wilders
    should demand a re-count, and keep on demanding a re-count again and again, until he gets the right answer,

    after all the EU did it to Ireland until the EU got what it wanted...

    Geert Wilders was contemplating either the French National Front or UKIP.

    He chose the wrong allies and paid the price.

    A brave man this Geert Wilders.

    The Neatherlands is already overrun with Muslims and PC whites good for nothing.

    Results not expected until late Sunday.

    Because they have to be translated into eleventy hundred languages...

    ... can't the Euro-bods just use English like the rest of the modern world?

    :-(

    Geert probably didn't win as there is 70% immigrants voting against him.
    To little to late.

    @2 What a pity you didn't wait. Then you could have read Porto Margaret's comment and avoided looking like a total pillock. Again.
    @3 You need to keep up. In the latest report from HM Treasury, who are only continuing to “serve” ALL the people of the UK. It seems that little itty-bitty scotchland will have to import 24,000 workers (plus their families) every year for the 20 years following separation. Lots of lovely Somalis, Ethiopians, Nigerians, Ghanaians, Ugandans. Why from Africa? It's to do with intelligence level. Can't have the immigrants being brighter can you? But, seriously, where is our money tree? Have you actually ASKED the Shetlands what THEY want? Or is fishface going straight into imperialist colonialism? Here's some thoughts for you. Do you have an international airline? British Airways isn't yours. Do you have an international cargo shipping line? And when ALL your trucks have to be unloaded at the border for Customs, Immigration and road safety checks? And your drivers need passports, visas, health insurance and adequate funds before they can enter the UK? How would you use the CTA if you're non-EU? And just imagine how your “trade” with the UK is going to “improve” when “someone” has to pay the import taxes! Once you know how import charges are calculated, you'll understand something about how you're going to suffer. You'll find that whisky will increase by around £4 a bottle in the UK. So, being a nation of drunks, you should keep it. And think about how many other things that will apply to. So we can do without at least 1/3rd of what you need to sell. And you can have all your ex-pats back as well. Look up the figures on how much gas and oil is left. We've already had the best. You can clear up!

    The brave new world according to C***
    Yes, our years of missionary work in the deep south have been to no avail, people like you are still as thick as ever.
    If you looked you would see that it is the English coming to retire here who are causing the increase in the ageing population.. They can't stand the thought of retiring in your beloved land amongst raving bigots like you.
    You really do talk a load of fanciful rubbish. You may wish it to happen but it will not.
    It's your country that is being overrun with immigrants, It's YOU who will have to learn god knows how many African/Asian languages to survive. Every time they show a typical English school on TV you almost never see a white face. If you do then they are Polish, Latvian, Romanian or Bulgarian. This is reality in your bel0ved land.
    Have you actually spoken to any Shetlander. I know several.
    Why do we need an international airline. Ryanair works fine as do others.

    There's been a tremblement de terre in France by all accounts.

    A pretty big seismic event in one report from TF1

    Panic at the Élysée Palace said AFP
