should be a good indicator of Leave v Remain.

Could we have a gibberish translation please Tora? What does BPVTIG mean?

[ToraToraTora]

the V was originally a small v.

[ToraToraTora]

so BP v TIG - the AB title scrambler made a mess of it.

[Calicogirl]

and...that helps me how?

Big Pete v Tiny Irish Granny? Where's Gness...?

[gingejbee]

calicogirl....you need to be a member of MENSA to understand......

Change UK rather than TIG now, as the link explains.
And CHUK should have had CHUKa as leader really :-)

An Observer opinion poll of people who said they would definitely vote on May 23 actually had UKIP ahead of the BP (It ran Labour 29%, Con 17% UKIP 13% BP 12% Lib Dems 10% - others included Change UK on 4%)
I think it is really BPUKIPvLDCU if you want to go down that road.

Brexit Party v. The Independent Group. It's not clear how Change UK will do. I think the launch saw them soaring but maybe now it's harder for them to drum up support, which is sad if so. But we'll see how the elections play out.

TTT, you take the trouble to write //so BP v TIG - the AB title scrambler made a mess of it.// so why not, in the same time, answer Calicogirl's question properly? Then we'll all know what you're talking about.

17.15 Calicogirl its just the ULOB. from TGT.

[naomi24]

Gulliver, what does the 'U' stand for? 'Unother'?

[ichkeria]

Change UK have had a lot of defections from the Tories: 30 councillors, 2 MEPS according to the link, Neil Carmichael, a very good ex-MP (Stroud), former minister Stephen Dorrell, amongst others. And 3700 have applied to be candidates.
Bothe they and the Lib Dems will be very organised.

[ichkeria]

Mikey, God rest his soul, would have had fun with BP - B(n)P-lite Mk II, or something similar!

[ToraToraTora]

calicogirl, these are current affairs in politics, if they mean nothing to you then perhaps this post is not for you.

[gulliver1]

17.32 Similar to what P stands for in Naomi.

[ToraToraTora]

TVI have you met your mate TOVI?

[Calicogirl]

Do get over yourself Tora, you're positively unintelligible as everyone else on this thread has confirmed. If you want a meaningful discussion about politics you might want to drop juvenile claptrap like 'EUSSR'- then perhaps people might take you seriously, meanwhile people will treat your threads with the derision they deserve.

It's quite amusing to note that some people profess to completely understand what 2P posts, and yet have no comprehension whatsoever of what 3T posts:)

[ToraToraTora]

oops got a live one there!

[Calicogirl]

That's because PP actually does make sense, TTT however is anyone's guess frankly.

[cashier]

You'd better hope that UKIP and BP somehow join forces if Ickeria's post proves to be accurate.
