I can honestly say that for the first time in my 66 years on the planet I'm absolutely devastated by the result of a political election.
I live 250 miles away from Manchester so it's highly unlikely that my day to day life will be affected by the decision of the voters of Gorton and Denton but this result is a symptom of the utterly dire state of this country - a country that has been drastically, callously and cynically altered by the actions of decades of governments promising one thing and delivering the exact opposite.
We now have sectarian voting across large swathes of the country, with certain "communities" being targeted by unscrupulous so-called "leaders" who would hoist up their own Mother and leave her dangling in the rain if it meant they could squeeze a few more votes from the people whose foreign flags they proudly wave as they sell their souls to the Gods and prophets of those they refer to as "our people".
It sickens me to my core.
This is Britain. Our predecessors - YOUR parents, grandparents, great grandparents and THEIR parents going back thousands of years built a fantastic country. We had a coherent, structured and effective national "community". It worked. We were immensely proud of our achievements.
We were the envy of the World.
And now we have THIS. It's not just a symptom of years of mismanagement on a massive scale, it's proof beyond all doubt that we are being systematically, intentionally and effectively destroyed with intent by those we have trusted to put our best interests at the forefront of everything they do.
And we appear to be stupid enough not to care. Last night's result proves that.
I fear it's over.
A British election was just won with Urdu campaign videos, Pakistani flags, and courting the votes of radical Islamists.
British democracy is well and truly cooked.
