I am taking a break from blogging for the next day and a bit. Some of you will know that I am in the final of the parliamentary selection for East Surrey tomorrow and I really do need to concentrate all my efforts on preparing for that today.
Whatever the result, I will be back here later tomorrow.
In the meantime, please use this as an open thread to talk about whatever you like.
Iain,
ReplyDeleteGood luck for tomorrow!
Third time lucky??
.
Good luck!
ReplyDeleteGood luck Iain.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Guido has a good story on Lord Paul Browns bag man making plans to leave the Lords as he wishes to remain a Nom-Dom.
Well done David Cameron you have skinned the cat so to speak or lanced the Ashcroft boil, as the dirty left wing scum squirm about their own dealings with rich doners
Good luck Iain. East Surrey needs you.
ReplyDelete(Mole Valley constituent)
I wish you the best of luck!
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
ReplyDeleteAll the best.
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Iain.
ReplyDeleteGood luck, if u put the kind of work in that u did during the Bracknell selection I think your win. Its quite nice to have a break any way. im enjoying mine.
ReplyDeleteIain, good luck for tomorrow. Hope all goes well
ReplyDeleteGood luck Iain hope they realise quality when they hear and see it.
ReplyDeleteIndeed purpleline - its always amazed me that Labour with all their non-dom donors are so keen to raise the issue of Lord Ashcroft.

Hope it goes well
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Iain - enjoy the process!
ReplyDeleteThe best of luck for tomorrow. Hopefully, you'll make it.
ReplyDeleteTrevorsden- the simple reason is Labour activists and Members of Parliament speak with one loud voice and shout down any other view. They simply do not see what they do as wrong, it is always nasty toffs or right wingers.
ReplyDeleteAnyway- I am trying to garner support for a facebook campaign to 'Switch Off Brown' on Saturday, when he appears on that odious cretin Piers >Dodgy fake photo of Soldiers< Morgan interviews him on ITV.
All the best!
ReplyDeleteGood luck; but you are of more use and wider influence here. It is no longer the higest aspiration an Englishman can seek. New Labour has seen to that.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck
ReplyDeleteGood luck.
ReplyDeleteYou'll do best if you keep an independent Conservative voice, so you stand out but can still be trusted
C'mon Iain, you can do it! Best of luck for tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck Iain
ReplyDeleteI hope you get it. You really want this, and that is good, and you want it for the right reasons, which is better.
ReplyDeleteGood luck.
Best of luck Iain! Sure you won't need it
ReplyDeleteBest of luck and all other cliches, Iain.
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is that if they don't choose you, then the Tories don't deserve to win this or indeed any other seat-What more can they want from a candidate? The only thing against you is that perhaps there is an element of being OVER qualified :)
Break a leg!
All tghe best Iain, would love to see You in parliament.
ReplyDeleteGood luck
ReplyDeleteBaa-baa!
ReplyDeleteLick-Lick, Licketty-Lick!
Baa-baa!
Iain fails what should be the first rule of parliamentary selections - namely that those who seek to become MPs (and so, so, desperately!), should be automatically disqualified from standing.
For all his good points (and some not so good ones), Iain can do far more for himself and the country as an outside commentator and publisher.
Now let the bleating resume... Baa-baa!
Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteYou can dooo eeet!

ReplyDeleteAn 'untrusted ID'.
Something you want to tell us?
Ian,
ReplyDeleteThe very best of luck, I was one of the electors at the Bracknell selection meeting and you were up against some very formidable competition there. I would have been very happy to have had you as a PPC had the voting gone your way.
On the basis that if we have to endure another tory govt then it's probably better to bolster the numbers from the non swivel-eyed wing, good luck.
ReplyDelete@Unsworth - my ID is a trustworthy as your Blogger ID, i.e. not at all, but mine doesn't involve being tracked by the GoogleBorg quite as much as yours does.
ReplyDeleteIt's not as if your ID is clearly disclosed by your blogger account, is it, Gauleiter Unsworth of the Daley Praetorian Guard.
Now, haven't you got some brown-nosing to get back to?
Iain,
ReplyDeletevery good luck
you are needed.
All the very best Iain, big time good luck.
ReplyDelete@ Sean Haffey & others
ReplyDeleteIf Iain were to be selected the seat's 15,000 would allow a fair degree of independence I feel.
Ah, so that's why you were at the Surrey Heath bash a couple of weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes.
Bird, actually it wasn't. I was booked for Surrey Heath back in OCtober, long before this constituency ever came on the market.
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Iain. I will look forward to hearing all about it over the weekend.
ReplyDeletenow now Bird don't be cynical of our iain everything he does is beyond reproach.
ReplyDeleteGood luck for tomorrow !! I do mean that.
I wonder if your pal Lord Ashcroft will be mentioned hmmmm ?
"long before this constituency ever came on the market."
ReplyDeleteand there you have what is wrong with our democracy, how the hell can you represent a place you don't know full of people you have never met?
Actually I do know it. I live 10 miles from it and know quite a few people there. In fact I probably know more people in East Surrey than I do in Tunbridge Wells.
ReplyDeleteGreatest of good luck Iain. I do hope you get it. You are just the man to counteract negative perceptions of the Tory party.
ReplyDelete@ LittleBoPeep
ReplyDeleteOoh, Touchy!
Simple enough question - such a pity you can't answer - but unsurprising.
Brown-nosing? Absolutely not. Brown is without doubt a cretin of the first order.
Iain,
ReplyDeleteGood luck.
All the very best for tomorrow in East Surrey
ReplyDeleteBest of luck for tomorrow Iain.
ReplyDeleteOnly 9 weekends to go till the big day. Are you too out there doing your bit for the cause?
ReplyDeleteGood luck for tomorrow
ReplyDeleteAll the best, Iain
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
ReplyDeleteIf Boris can continue to write, you should be OK tp continue to blog!
Good luck tomorrow, Iain - those who have got to know you through your blog and commentary know you to be sincere, committed and authentic.
ReplyDeleteWe are are all willing you to succeed. And your detractors are all worried you'll succeed.
Give it your best.
Best of luck, Iain!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck Iain!
ReplyDeleteIain, please take my advice, don't look at your picture in the Mail Online (under 'Cameron rocked...').
ReplyDeleteThe good news: the other two candidates look even worse.
Oh Dear, looks like the Daily Hitler has not forgiven you for complaining...
