Last year, America elected its first black president. This year, Britain elected its first two BNP MEPs. Way to respond, my country.

I don't want to get up today. In London, Jonathan Fryer was only 8000 votes off being elected, too.

Edit: ...or so his Twitter said, but I guess in the small hours of the morning he miscounted, or mistakenly saw the margin to Labour. He'd actually have needed just under 80,000.

Yes, I'm guessing Jonathan mistakenly looked at his margin to Labour, not the Tories. In a way, that makes me feel less bad - it would have been frustrating to be that close and not get him in.
