That's why Al-beeb like him. And that's why the Republicans will not vote or vote Democrat - they're sick of being betrayed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-32521468931187850462008-02-23T10:22:00.000+00:002008-02-23T10:22:00.000+00:00Tony Benn rails against the BBC -for not being Lef...Tony Benn rails against the BBC -for not being Left wing enough!

After my little difference of views with Praguetory, I realised I might have been a bit too negative. <BR/><BR/>I decided to write something nice, and the result was a little piece expressing positive views on your mate David Davis' performance as Shadow Home Secretary. And by extension, it's warm towards call me Dave.<BR/><BR/>I don't aspire to be in the Daley Dozen, but still. Maybe next, Gary Elsby will decide he has a soft spot for certain Tory ideas :)asquithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246701347539264295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-22138232092711918812008-02-22T15:53:00.000+00:002008-02-22T15:53:00.000+00:00Nadine hmmm maybe, but it reminds me of that old j...Nadine hmmm maybe, but it reminds me of that old joke...<BR/><BR/>What's brown and sticky?<BR/><BR/>My poster of BeyonceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-9787736355721274072008-02-22T15:28:00.000+00:002008-02-22T15:28:00.000+00:00Iain, I know you want to keep Gio in dog biscuits ...Iain, I know you want to keep Gio in dog biscuits but you're advertising for Red Ken's reelection.
