In other news anyone know anything about the author of this?

Hrmm I'm perhaps feeling uncharitable after his ridiculous last blog and watching far too many cases of Labour being given a gentler ride.

The vid is from labourvision.tv, an crowdsourcing offshoot of Guido Fawkes's blog.

btw, you do know that Nick Robinson was National Young Conservatives' Chairman in the 1980's, don't you?

For those of us without the dubious 'benefit' of standard issue New Labour ultra polarising, rose tinted specs it says it all really... and in just a few seconds. Lies and spin, more lies and more spin, even more lies and even more spin.....

New Labour - " A Future Fair for All" - unless of course you value tedious minutiae like civil liberties that is.....

I'm sure I've heard him say that he stands by what he said at the time since it happened and before the apology.

4 years later on and he apologises. sounds like an election really is happening next month..

What happens if its a absolute draw do we get to stab them all in the throat with a butter knife, these debates should only be on the radio why do we need to see them ? arrrgh what we need is a giant crab to eat them all live on cbeeebies

Like so many of his colleagues, Jack Straw has a history of saying and doing entirely different things depending on which way the political wind is blowing at the time...

[QUOTE]Greece's debt has been downgraded to junk status by rating agency Standard & Poor's amid concern it could not take steps to tackle its economic crisis.

It makes the struggling nation the first eurozone member to have its debt downgraded to junk level. [QUOTE]

Did Mandelson forget to tell them that Brown had saved the world then ???

I foresee some more expensive EU rule bending...

LOL - who knows, if Steve 'umbrella' McLaren is in demand perhaps, after he's booted out of office in a couple of weeks time, the Greeks will draft in SuperGordon so that he can work his magic on their economy....

Thanks for the info on labourvision.

I was aware of this from Nick Robinson, I do wonder if he's trying to compensate for it some times.

Saying that I have to admit bias of my own. I am incredibly biased against Gordon Brown and feel the mess he and his party have caused in financial and civil rights terms will take an extremely long time to unravel so anything that doesn't advocate his immediate removal from office is against my point of view. I'm being kind there by the way.

Just saw the 'hung parliament party' ad from the Tories. What a load of carp scaremongering.

Voted and will be posting them in the morning.

Now I can forget about all this claptrap.

No you can't. Every time you switch on your TV it'll be there.

Seems a tad on the doomsayer side of things doesn't it? While I have concerns about it, big ones, I am unsure how productive going that OTT is. Nearly as bad as Labour's baseless bovine excreta. I'm only saying 'nearly because the Tories are exaggerating rather than just making things up.

I switch channels to avoid the claptrap otherwise my TV would be broken.

The one lasting memory I have of the Labour victory in 1997 is below and I rather doubt we will see something as funny as this was at this election.

At the time of the election, Portillo had been riding high and was seen as a future leader of the Conservatives. He had a large majority and so when the Enfield Southgate vote was announced there were gasps around the country that led to the phrase "did you stay up for Portillo".

There may be a "Labour lose their Balls" moment, though, if the betting in Morley and Outwood is reflected in reality.....

He deserves it just as Portillo did in 1997.
