I wondered why there was no party that represented pensioners a bit back. It was a mistake to lose Menzies & Lord Adonis - Crazzy name - Crazzy guy.

Daniel does not 'get' why Mandelson has such a strong reputation...

The people who have a poor opinion of him have been :-

* Burgled
* Garotted
* Extraordinarily 'rendered' to Eastbourne
* Had their careers terminated, and taken to forced labour camps in the gulag
* Had their children sold into white slavery
* Been sued for libel, had their entire financial assets frozen, their houses sold, and the contents sold on eBay.
* Been forced to recant their views in front of a large audience on pain on having their parents executed in the back room.
* Have to tell their kith and kin that they are devious, scheming, lying vermin who have contracted a number of sexually transmitted infection and spread them liberally among the pleb population

So for those who say that Peter 'The Prince' Mandelson is an evil, scheming, mendacious, vindictive, vituperative, malevolent bastard, I would just like to state for the record that I think he is an absolutely fantastic, decent, warm honest and lovely human being.

Heil Mandy ! Fly Me !
