Still it is right that the Parliamentary Party is trying to stop Gordon Brown's very recent conversion to proportional representation. <br /><br />It is extremely generous of you to speak at our event at such short notice.

But chips in a Chinese? erggh.<br /><br />Glad Dartford is coming up a little, it was always a noted hole.<br /><br />Jeremy, according to Wikipedia, Peter Bucklitsch got 5,036 votes for the Libdems in 2005 in Dartford, so that's not exactly "one" is it. Still, I will accept it does not appear to be classic LibDem stalking territory. Perhaps they got squeezed in what is obviously a very narrow LabourTory marginal.DespairingLiberalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02903904463236135611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-66276844966571325532010-02-09T12:17:09.211+00:002010-02-09T12:17:09.211+00:00Our local Chinese does a truly bonzer Chips 'n...Our local Chinese does a truly bonzer Chips 'n Gravy.
