ReplyDeleteF*** me.
But that's before the back-stiffening effects of the slump.
In 6 months times the mobs will be baying for him to be strung up.
YAY, Frank Field is one of the good guys!
ReplyDeleteI hear the Conservative trade union PPCs met this week a good step forward for the Party
ReplyDeletewe need to win over all sections of society
and local campaigns to save hospitals and post offices have involved local Conservative councillors (and others) and local trade union branches
Who is Nick Bourne or is he just known to anoraks?
ReplyDeleteFrank Field a right winger - jesus you have gone bonkers.
ReplyDeleteNext year should be interesting for the Tories.
All your buy to let developers, hedge fund fuckers, and city bastards will be commiting suicide. Who gonna fund your party next year.
Or is that too right wing for your blood. Live by the sword, die by it.

ReplyDeleteDo these idiot trolls - or as they should be called "Dolly's Dreamers" who have begun to infest your hallowed portal - really think that inane and puerile comments will have any influence on the views of regular readers and commenters?
If anything shows that the Labour Party is a busted flush then this latest attempt is it. No more spin, Gordon? I don't think so.
They must be desperate if they are playing this game.
Since when is Kenneth Clarke a "right" of anything ?
ReplyDeleteAlan Douglas
Wasn't Frank Field in the top 100 left wingers' list too ?
ReplyDeleteSigned,
Confused Womble
Guido Fawkes is under Ann Widdecombe.. and Nadine Dorries is on top of Frank Field.. Fnarr. Fnarr..
ReplyDeleteNick Bourne is leader of the Welsh Conservatives.
ReplyDeleteFrank Field is indeed on the right on a number of issues - welfare, Europe to name but two.
why wasnt the City blog
ReplyDeleteIve got my bonus so F **** you
in the top 100
Alan Douglas - whilst I can understand where you're coming from - aren't you being a bit of a rascal? The democracy paper was brilliant - not as good as the Power Commission but they're both for wonks and in the real world will gather dust on my bookshelf - brilliant food for thought tho. Have a good day fella.
ReplyDeleteWhat? No Scruton?
ReplyDeleteNice to see Margaret Eaton an excellent former Council leader who has done hands on work running a Council in a difficult area of the North of England (Bradford, in case you didn't know) in the list. Like many people in the North delighted to see she is now the LGA Chairman representing real people out in the real world. Some of the names on the list are an insult to right wing activists who are actually working, for example, Ken Clarke. I am amazed that another excellent stalwart of the Tory Party doing real work in his constituency in the North of England, Philip Davies, is omitted from the list. He is a thousand times more usefull than the Euro buffoon Clarke ! Is he omitted because he is from the North of England or because he is diametrically opposed to Cameron. It is amazing that the two of them are, nominally, in the same party. Give me Davies any time.
ReplyDeleteIvan the bloodyminded from Bradford
