Re: General Election called

Yes, it matters not one jot to the electorate...and if she had any sense at all I think she would realise that her jibe is just a cheap shot...a soundbite.

I did not read the article other than to see that HH condemns him because he doesn't change nappies...but then neither does his wife...this couple (who support their children) have a nanny.

Like Dave, I think that this is very unlikely to happen...they parachute in the people they think will take the most votes...like if it is an area with a high ethnic population, then they will put...

Re: General Election called

I am not sure that I agree with what you say Monkey Hanger.
I think that over the years we have become used to those two faced politicians who are in it for themselves.
There were days when...

He is a man who is not afraid to be honest about his convictions, his faith or his ideals and morals....and that has to be applauded.

He has ethics(not that I agree with some of them) and morals...

I think it might be because whatever party gets in, they are all the same.
I truly believe that local politics should be divorced from political banners and that the people elected should have only...

Re: General Election called

As Paul Daniels used to say 'Not a lot'

They just give a gallic shrug and say it is happening everywhere. As if that is some sort of justification for their ineptitude.

Sorry Eric, much as I respect your opinion(and vast knowledge of many things), distance means that you have no grasp of the real situation over here.

The malice of the Labour campaign was palpable...

Re: General Election called

People do not tell the truth in polls.
The only one that matters is the one where you put your cross in the box...everything else is just smoke and mirrors.

Re: General Election called

I worked in the NHS at the time PFI was mooted.
I raised concerns at many meetings.
It seemed ludicrous to me that the taxpayer would be saddled with a debt, the extent of which was very...

Re: General Election called

The people tha Labour want to tax are those who would be welcomed by other countries who would treat them better.
Not only would they take the money and run, but they might take jobs with them.

and that is, in your opinion, a bad thing?
From your tone it seems that you think it is.
Or is it just because it is a vote catcher?
My opinion, for what it is worth, is that parents have a...

I would put it as a fool or an arrogant person...Cretinism is a medical condition and I know this is being pedantic, and I know you meant it in the context of an idiot...in fact idiot is spot on.
