Interesting news in the Swinegraph

https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/other/what-immigration-has-done-to-house-prices-and-those-doom-laden-brexit-predictions/ar-AA1aIr0Y?ocid=entnewsntp&cvid=8b5075ce19dd42e294cd05c8ebd2399e&ei=11

Swine Osborne claimed in 2016 that Brexit would crash the housing market. This was absolute crock of shit. Who did Brexit block from coming to UK that it would cause this. Did the minimum wage and below workers from Eastern Europe have any effect on house prices. Anybody with a million pound in the bank can walk into Swineland and buy a property no questions asked like where did you get the money from?

In the meantime the house prices are at the point of costing up to 20 times the average wage in the UK. When you realise that 50% of the workers are earning less than the average wage, you begin to see that European or even British workers have no influence on the housing market.

This bit he did get right.

In the long term, the country and the people in the country are going to be poorer


Well sort of, it is the poor people that actually got poorer and of course the country's debt has risen to 2,400 billion but hey it's only money.

Welcome to Swineland.

This is the response of the Electoral Commission about the Local Authority vote today when they have applied the requirement for an ID to vote.

It was the first election in England to require photo ID - which the Electoral Commission says meant some people were "regrettably unable to vote"


What will be interesting is just how many people were turned away from the polling booths today. We will have the answer to that question tomorrow. According to statistics 17% of the electorate have no passports. That 17% of 47.6 million voters. That's 8 million people. Of course not everybody was voting today. Now they new the percentage of people that did not have passports when they passed that law. Some may well have photo ID of course that will do the job. I for one refused to change my license to a photo ID. But I am one of the lucky ones. I did not change my address since the requirement was put in place which means I did not have to do it. But I do a passport and a British one at that.

You cannot make it up.

Polling station staff are legally required to collect information about the number of voters who were turned away because they didn't have photo ID.

However, much of the data they collect cannot be published - instead, it will be sent to the government and the Electoral Commission.


We are not worthy.

Welcome the the Swineland.

This needs focusing on. Yesterday when the the counting ended The Swine have lost 1061 councilors across the country. The news report said for the first time since 2002 the Swine party has less councilors than Labour.

Year 2002 was just after Blair winning his second election and he went on and won a third time too. But while he was wining parliamentary elections he also lost just under 5 million Labour voters between 1997 and 2010.

One can only admire how Blair having lost nearly 5 million votes also managed to win 3 elections out of 4.

Would you adam and eve it?
I wonder if Starmer can perform tis trick again.

Protesters who tried to wreck the King's Coronation should emigrate to Europe, Lee Anderson declared last night.

The Conservative Party deputy chairman condemned "wet wipes" who refuse to "be proud of our fantastic country".


My memory is failing. I recognise this sentiment from another Swine but I can't quite put my finger on it. I wonder who it could be.

How many people are aware of the history of our royal family. I don't mean going back hundreds of years, and that is bad enough but more recent times too. This is what the current royal family has done since 1900.

Nerissa Bowes-Lyon and Katherine Bowes-Lyon, first cousins of Queen Elizabeth, were secretly incarcerated in the Royal Earlswood Asylum for Mental Defectives in 1941.
The scandal, uncovered after Nerissa's death in 1986, was the subject of a 2011 documentary.

Going back to the power of the royal family, it is believed by most people that they have no real power and that they are just a rubber stamp for getting the laws approved.

I am afraid that is just pure fantasy.

Enjoy 1062 times.
