Thanks for the link again, Iain.

Indeed my post on Gorden Brown has missed your eye!

Brown is so close to the Liberal Democrats that it makes me sick!

A new government is needed via the Conservatives! We have such a choice come the next election 5 more years of Idiot Brown supported by the LD's or a Conservative Government that makes the right decisions!

Labour Labour Labour - Out Out Out!

Crick's commenters give him and the BBC short shrift, for his "apology".

Several of them mention Baroness Uddin and the fact that in most of these vote rigging scandals the perps are Muslims (Crick cannot bring himself to use the M word)

The BBC just wont touch nasty stories about their favourite friends.

I don't understand the sniping at Private Eye! On the whole it takes a kind of anarcho-Tory cum old fogey approach to the world. But it also covers a lot of stories the papers won't publish, especially on the abuse of non-Dom and off-shore tax avoidance.

It wold seem that, according to Lobbydog, Mrs. Dromey was really on top of her brief. With such incisive political presentation, there's no wonder she "doesn't aspire to the top job". She'd make Gordon's You tube appearance look reasonable.

"Arsenal routed."

Hurrah!

If, God forbid, they remake Rising Damp, Crick should be cast as Rigsby.
What is it about Crick?
I imagine he has bad teeth, due to an addiction to chocolate bars. he changes his underwear once a week.
He never laughs; he sniggers.
How does he keep his job on Newsnight?
Does he have anything on Paxo?

I had to go and wash my hands after even thinking about what the next word after that "..." might be.

Thanks for the mention Iain.

Again, supporting us new bloggers is a great character trait of yours.

Thanks

Thanks for the link Iain - just wondering if you'd like to take up Charlotte's meme yourself and write a list of 10 better Prime Ministers than Gordon Brown?

Or perhaps 10 Doctor Who characters who'd make better Prime Ministers? Or ten items of office furniture? Or ten chocolate bars? The possibilities are endless... :-)

Iain

Thanks for the plug for my UK libertarians list. Again.

But, a quibble. I am not just listing the best ones; I'm trying to list them all. For the moment I am leaving it to others to worry about which ones are best.

But, like I say, thanks anyway.
