Bits and bobs

Anyone know what the turnout was for the 1989 European Parliament Election in the UK? I'm wondering if the Greens' 14.9% there was more or less as a percentage of the total the swivel-eyed mob got this time.

So, is UKIP really the political wing of the Rotary Club? Seeing the wonderful diversity of their MEPs on the news this evening (yes, some of them wore suits that weren't pinstripe and their hair all comes in varying shades of grey) it seems slightly more appropriate than the political wing of the Daily Mail. That old description of the Masons - the mafia of the mediocre - comes to mind as well.

No Canadian GP review, I'm afraid. The convergence of England beating New Zealand and losing to France meant something had to lose out and unfortunately Graham Thorpe was batting far too well in a nervewracking game to change the channel.

As of tonight's results, I am going to be looking for Swedish ancestors so I can justify supporting them.

Anyone else wonder if UKIP's poor level of support in Wales and Scotland has anything to do with their lack of support for devolution there and just how hypocritical that stance is? After all, if one believes that nations shouldn't be part of 'superstates' then surely you really ought to be cheering the breakup of some failed attempt to unify diverse cultures that can't even come up with a coherent geographic name. Sorry, I'm trying to use logic to explain the thought-processes of swivel-eyed loons. My bad.
