Democrats Continue Their Election-Losing Obsession With ?Rescuing? Criminal Migrants Fri Apr 25, 2025 15:00 | Tony Morrison
Do Democrats enjoy losing elections? It seems so as they double down on their obsession with migrant criminals. Witness the clown-world antics this week as a US Senator tries to bring 'home' a deported violent gangster.

Is the End of Non-Crime Hate Incidents in Sight? Fri Apr 25, 2025 11:03 | Toby Young
Is the end of 'non-crime hate incidents' in sight? The Opposition is tabling an amendment to scrap them. This is something we all need to get behind ? so please use the FSU's template to tell your MP to vote for it.

We Already Have a Migrant Crime League Table Fri Apr 25, 2025 09:00 | Noah Carl
Yvette Cooper will publish a "league table" of "offences committed by foreign criminals living in the UK while awaiting deportation". The problem is that some nationalities are more likely to be deported than others.

Scottish Election Recounts?

Report this post to the editors

"There were calls today for an investigation into the Scottish election after polling descended into chaos with tens of thousands spoilt ballot papers, faulty counting machines and bad weather delaying the return of ballot boxes. With two simultaneous elections being held under three different voting systems, some seats saw more than a 1,000 spoilt papers being discarded. Although the SNP leader, Alex Salmond, won his own seat and appeared set for a narrow national victory, a result is not now expected until the early afternoon."

or several weeks if the legal challenges are succesful. Thus it is very difficult to say how the Scottish have "voted" or "not voted".

Of course this means independence must wait till the last wee vote is recounted.

& we decide how many votes are missing & which machines were fixed.

Aye! a victory for internationalism & democracy.
