Who is this Tony Yaxley Robertson that the left are obsessed with? ….good friend of some bloke called Reg Dwight apparently….! |

A further lurch to the right in Europe, just when the UK is stepping back from the brink.

"National Rally, fronted by Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella, won more than 31% of the vote - more than double that of Mr Macron's centrist Renaissance.
But beyond France, the broader story of Europe's four-day vote marathon belonged to the parties of the centre right.
They strengthened their majority in the European Parliament, with victories in Germany, Greece, Poland and Spain, and significant advances in Hungary, against long-dominant Prime Minister Viktor Orban."
Meh. I all sounds a bit like spin to me. The libleft media luvvies have worn out the "far right" theme now.
Still, I expect Europeans are heartily sick of piss-poor immigration.

It's fun to watch the EU PR machine trying to cobble together a palatable message here.
"Macron gambles on election after French far right win but centre right holds in EU vote"
Von de Lyin' is working very hard at this at has insisted that "the centre is holding" which sounds like a dispatch from Paulus at Stalingrad.

Even when I live in France some 2 decades ago just over 1 in 5 French people selected the Nazi. (I always find it funny - my Yank friends comment that Europeans always see the USA as the land of bigotry and backwardsness ignoring that the politicians that get far in European countries struggle to achieve that level support in the USA.) |

Meh. I all sounds a bit like spin to me. The libleft media luvvies have worn out the "far right" theme now. The BBC has been pushing the "Far Right On The Rise Across Europe" narrative every election for about 2 decades now. They love that as a story. A mild improvement in a European or Local election - but rarely close to a majority in the west - and they make a huge deal of it. It's weird. They never lead with the Rise Of The Greens Across Europe or Rise Of The Center-Left Across Europe when those parties have slight improvements. |

By the way. Far right vote collapsed in the Nordics. Greens are the largest party in Denmark. That could be what the BBC lead with... but no.

Well the BBC, being far, far, far extreme left are most in fear of the centre left (those are the parties and politicians they call "far" "right").

Orban's vote collapsed. On the back of Erdogan's vote collapsing in Turkey and Modi's in India and Trump and Bolsonaro losing in their last elections, and Netanyahu being in the sh*t, perhaps the BBC would like to try "Authoritarian right-wing populist nationalists are getting found out and kicked out"?

The remainers are all over the place with these elections. They don't know whether to have a shave a shit or a shampoo.

Maybe so but I, for one, will be cracking open a bottle of my finest Champagne Louis Roederer Kristal for us all to enjoy, as we drink a toast to the backs of these sham Tories' and the pain they have visited on this country. |

"sham Tories"
That's a fair assessment.

Mrs.B is in Spain this week, seeing her family. She tells me she saw her brother this morning, who has lived in Spain for 30 years. Apparently, having not seen his sister for a couple of years, he did nothing but rant about Brexit, as usual.
8 years, mate. Move on.
