The rest of the missing votes were from the previous Conservative vote. This is an important lesson. Tory voters might claim to be against fascism, but they would rather abstain, and let a fascist win, than vote along with what they perceive to be a "left bloc".

Well done Sir. It was a good showing. You got 83% of the combined Labour, LibDem, and Green vote, from last time. So well done to them too - as at least they tried. (The other 17% aught to be ashamed of themselves.)

You may have seen I broadcast a message to planet Earth from the edge of space. I thought it was equally important to speak to deep space about you and your lovely little planet. But I thought humans might like to see it too, so here it is. #Clacton #VoteBinface

It’s election week! At this important moment I would like to address your entire planet with a message to the people of Earth. And I think I found the perfect place to do it.

Starbucks UK sales and number of shops increase but appears to pay no corporation tax. The trick is profit shifting through intragroup transactions to low/no tax jurisdictions - royalty payments, management fees, interest on intragroup loans. Company accounts comply with UK law but are opaque.

A land mark has gone! The old stone barn, at the top of the hill between Crosland Heath golf club, and the old fireworks factory, has just been demolished. #Huddersfield #Golcar #ColneValley

No, no, no, no, and five times no, wikipedia. What has got into you? Stop this shite at once. I'm not going to donate any more money, while this monstrosity exists.

@wikipedia.org WTF is this? I cannot read text on a screen when there is animation present (motion/flicker sensitivity). It means I'm going to have to "pause" this damned thing every time I access an article. This is not acceptable. It needs a global switch off option.
