That first picture should really be accompanied by the Toccata and Fugue in D minor.

Mr Brown said he might do charity or voluntary work, and that he didn't "want to do business or anything else - I just want to do something good".
Yeah right - I'm sure there are loads of charities just crying out for someone like him to come along and waste their money....

Quote:
The prime minister said Labour was the "serious party", in contrast to the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats.

"The Conservatives are too big a risk, the Liberals can't explain what they are doing - their policies don't add up," he said.
Yep well there's no doubt that New Labour are serious - seriously awful! Policies not adding up is one thing but Brown's sums clearly didn't add up and it's not the other parties who've almost bankrupted us...

Is she a bigot too or just another of those cynical New Labour MPs who say/promise one thing before an election and subsequently do another.
Forgot to mention, I also heard Ken Livingstone condemning New Labour's more recent policy on EU migration during his LBC radio show at the weekend. Red Ken's not noted as being a xenophobe so it comes to something when the likes him see that sort of thing as a problem....

Enjoying a glass of Scotch and listening to Bach so zero interested response here

Daniel Hannan FTW.
Yep you know it.

You get the general idea. Despite his occasional ill-advised comments a lot of what he says makes sense because it is the simplest solution to problems. Why tax people in order to give them money back when you can just not tax them, why centralise control inefficiently and at a distance when there are local legislatures that know the areas better and are not being used, why take directives from Brussels which are blanket applied to the whole of Europe. Power should be as close as possible to those it affects, those it affects should have control over those who make these decision in terms of votes of no confidence and US style primaries, this gives better accountability, more local empowerment and a better democracy.

He's online on Facebook right now actually. He's more leaning towards the Lib Dems this time around looking at his group memberships

Re: The 2010 General Election Thread: Week 4

Out of the three main parties, I like what I am hearing from the Conservatives, it is what they are not saying that bothers me.

I voted Conservative in the above poll, but if I am honest, I am still undecided.
