Nope.

The little dickie bird didn't mention your name as being present either, unless you were in disguise, at the cabal/pow-wow. When plans were discussed for a certain someone to stand as an 'Independent Conservative', until it was realised there wasn't time register a new party.

(Perhaps the 'little bird' isn't the most accurate euphemism. Maybe another creature would have been more suitable. Mole, perhaps.)



It really does show a lack of pluck, in my opinion.

Personally I don't stop fighting until the final bell has sounded. I'd certainly never throw in the towel before the girl in the bikini, advertising round one, had even left the ring.

It's all a bit of a shambles really. Still no candidate, whilst all the other parties are out and about, busily campaigning.

Best chance for years, and it's decided to shoot both feet.

By the way, what's all this talk of certain people being de-selected. Is this another case of watch this space?
