    Andrew Neil's words, not mine.

    Seriously though, you think Brown will be PM after the next election?

    Everyone has a duty to serve if asked, and thats what Conservativism is all about JHL "Duty"...you know serve the national interest rather than rupture is constitution, subvert its legal process and tank its economy.

    VicePilot. Couldn't have put it any better. Seriously, I really do worry about some Labour chaps (one in our pub) who keep saying "No way, in your dreams". What planet are they on. Brown & the Labour project are finished. Brown & that party just cannot admit it.

    Are you not going to post on the BBC's refusal to broadcast an aid appeal for the thousands of innocent victims in Gaza?

    DD came across very well, he didn't do himself any harm IMHO

    If first duty is to himself - to act inaccordance with his beliefs.

    To submerge his beliefs for his party is surely wrong?

    Let's hope the phone call comes! David Davis would be a great addition to the government--and it would be good to get him in a place where he can bark, but not bite, at his more modernist colleagues in the Tory Party...

    Not my choice. Perhaps America might make us another state? I think Obama has the right qualities for a leader. I don't fancy either Straw or Miliband given their too close involvement with the flights of extra-ordinary rendition.

    Bring back Prescott, all is forgiven...
