Think's wishlist...:

1) SNP victory in Alba and a quick independence referendum after Brexit...
2) Catlik victory in Ulster and a quick merge with Éire...
3) Khan victory in London and a quick renaming of it as “New Mecca”...

Chuckle chuckle....

Actual results should start coming in around 02.00 GMT Friday.

A re-election of the Scottish Nationl Party as Scotlands government is very probable indeed.

he says labour will lose no seats,

will he survive today in one peace,
will labour survive, or will both go the way of the libdems and fly to cuckoo land.

He'll snap, he'll end up running outside naked, and throw a dustbin through the front window.

#1 Think my friend, you forgot wish list item 4. An independence referendum in the Falklands with 100% opposed to independence and in favour of becoming an oppressed colonial outpost of Argentina.

A good result north of Brigantia.
As resistance to Roman centralization came from the north, so it seems our northern brethren are leading the assault on our own over-centralization.

Why do you think “Think” is trolling.
Comment@1 seems to me to be a sincere wishlist, possibly shared with a large part of the electorate.

An on-topic, inoffensive opinion is not trolling. In fact your comment is more reminiscent of a troll in action.

What, yet another of Think's Support Persona's?

It is Think's consistent agenda to post/promote all articles or statements that he feels are divisive of the U.K. and its people's.

His statements are crafted in a way to be offensive or irritating.

Sometimes he chats back and forth betwen his personas when a thread gets 'stuck', or simply to raise our ire.

The jest of the “New Mecca” bit makes clear it was a playful flourish.
Only the thinnest skinned of individuals would think it were an act of trolling.

I am not sure what you mean by “Support Persona's”
I was only pointing our the obvious that the post @1 was not trolling.
I fail to see how it is either offensive or irritation to a rational mind.

@14 Think
I would peel em anyway.
