Well, well, well, the cuntservatives really did get the absolute caning they so soundly deserved in the local elections yesterday. The BBC coverage was at all times as grudging as possible as one council after another toppled either to labour, to the lib-dems or to no overall control.
The tories publicly admitted that they thought it possible that they might lose 1000 seats, however, that was widely reported as ‘expectation management’ rather than what tories really thought. In private most conservatives who were prepared to go on record with an estimate thought that in reality between 600 and 750 was the likely level of tory losses. However, the final tally significantly exceeded four figures!
