Lord Ashcroft @LordAshcroft 1m Tories lead on "getting the economy growing & creating jobs" (+8), "cutting deficit" (+27), "steering econy through difficult times" (+17).
"But on arrival they were faced with squalid and cramped accommodation, long hours with barely any pay and beatings from Orsos if they disobeyed his orders.
Workers lived in accommodation in Ravensthorpe, Batley, Heckmondwike and Bradford. Up to 50 men were kept in a single Batley house.
Beatings were regularly dished out by Orsos. One of the house rules was that no one could ever say ‘no’ to him.
They were then sent to work throughout Dewsbury, Bradford and Wakefield."
Nope - that does not show that 26 million foreigners are after everyone's job but mine.
Why is Con much shorter odds for most votes than for most seats in the Euros?
Surely it's very hard to assess the translation from votes to seats - it's completely different to the situation in a GE where the big issue is low turnout in safe Lab seats.
Turnout may vary where there are also Locals but each Euro region should contain a fair mix of Con and Lab areas.

You said "Or anyone else's." I'd say "They were then sent to work throughout Dewsbury, Bradford and Wakefield". shows you'e totally wrong on that score wouldn't you?
The reality is this problem is effecting millions of people. The poster is directed at them and anyone who's not effected yet who is capable of understanding the long-term consequences of turning a blind eye to this problem like the political and media class have been doing for the last 14-ish years.
People always say UKIP are 'right wing' - whatever that really means. I think in BBC talk it just means 'bad'. But UKIP have some fairly statist non-libertarian interventionist views which will accord with the half of the WWC they are peeling away from Ed. If Farage cmes up with some lefty sounding domestic policy sound bites as well as the EU/immigration stuff he will attract more of this group.
If you look at the comments under DT articles, they are overwhelmingly dominated by nutters wanting to hang the EU LibLabCon traitors; and by nutters wanting the state to expropriate landlords, ban foreigners and reduce house prices by 70%.These are essentially the same people in each case; both frequently sign their rants off "Vote UKIP" and respond to challenge with abuse.
They've made the comments section basically unreadable. Their real tragedy is their lack of self awareness - they are the sort of folk who will rant angrily at whomever they meet and walk away convinced they've made a convert.
Peak blazer has in my view happened, simply because almost everyone must by now either know or have met a UKIPper.

Sorry, your link does not show that 26 million people are after anyone's job in the UK.

"Or anyone else's."
It does show that it effects lots of other people though - but not you.
Another dire figure for the Lib Dems. Council results likely to show following changes of control
LAB GAINS Bristol from NOC Swindon from CON Croydon From CON Harrow from CON Merton from CON Redbridge from CON Bradford from NOC Calderdale from NOC Kirklees From NOC Stockport from NOC Walsalll From NOC Amber Valley from CON Cambridge From LD Crawley from CON Tamworth from CON Waveney from CON W Lancs from CON
CON Gains Kingston from LD Winchester from NOC St Albans from NOC Purbeck From NOC
CON losses to NOC Basildon Basingstoke
LD losses fo NOC Three Rivers Portsmouth
Any other changes of control expected?
Harrow, Merton, and Redbridge would be Labour gains from NOC.
I think the Conservatives will lose Havering to NOC, due to a very strong UKIP vote and the implosion of Romford Conservative Association.
Comments
"But I don't like this one!"
Fair point, and well made sir!
Tories lead on "getting the economy growing & creating jobs" (+8), "cutting deficit" (+27), "steering econy through difficult times" (+17).
That said, this poll makes me fancy Labour a bit more in the Euros.
"Any ideas as to the reason for the turbulence"
Is this question relating to Jacks arse?
Rational thinking would point to a "weekend" difference, but how much it shifts the polls is debatable.
Surely it's very hard to assess the translation from votes to seats - it's completely different to the situation in a GE where the big issue is low turnout in safe Lab seats.
