Nigel doesn't need him any more, now he's got his new friend Donald to play with.

The fact he pleaded not guilty says it all really, throw away the key.

Actually he entered no plea. It was the judge who was legally required to enter not guilty pleas on his behalf.

During the trial he just sat there facing forward all the time, never looking around, even to look at on-screen photos the police took of the inside of his own house. Though he did take notes.

No reaction on conviction or sentencing. Then he and his three guards got up and swiftly walked out.

Just come out of the public gallery of court 8. Guilty on all four counts, and almost immediately given a whole life sentence by the judge.
His defence barrister asked the judge whether Thomas Mair could say a few sentences to the court, but the judge refused.
The right sentence in my view. Good riddance to bad rubbish..

Donald Trump wants him as UK ambassador to the US.

Some nice Brexit nostalgia in this thread - anyone remember that?

Anyhow, it's polling day in Batley and Spen and it seems it's Labour verses an array of loonies. The Conservatives, Liberal Democrats, Greens and UKIP, all declined to field candidates.

The other candidates are:
Richard Edmonds – National Front,
David Furness – British National Party,
Therese Hirst – English Democrats,
Jack Buckby – ‘No to terrorism, yes to Britain’,
Waqas Ali Khan – Independent,
Garry Kitchin – Independent,
ANTI Corbyn* – By-election Protest,
Ankit Love – the One Love Party and
Henry Edmund Burke Mayhew – Independent.

* - Another far-right candidate is Neil Humphrey of the English Independence Party. The pro-hanging former English Democrat member has changed his name by deed poll so he will appear on ballot papers as “ANTI Corbyn – By-election Protest”.

Why does it matter where my home is? I'm exercising my right to 'freedom of movement' that allows me to work in any EU member country. My opinion is very valid.

Hoist the chip off your shoulder for goodness sake.

Good. It might well be the % of the Vote that you and all the compliant herd attain on thursday.

Perhaps when the remain vote comes in Devon can hold a referendum and the rest if the UK will send it on its way.

It like a bandaid, the quicker you tear it off the better for all.
