Fantastic news.

No one can be worse than Gordon, however which team you'd prefer to steer us out of what may become recession is a tough call.
Proud to be a Trelawny man!

Well, I only resigned from Labour a few years ago (because of our foreign policy), but working in Financial services it's my opinion that the only party that might have managed the Northern Rock thing properly is the Tories. Possibly you need people brought up with money to understand how it works?

I love seeing the look on the little faces of the  LIb/Dems when they win a few seats at these elections and they jump with joy, but if some of you think Labour have stiched us all up with a load of stealth taxes over the years, well like Ronnie Reagan said 'You ain't seen nothing yet', we will be Sweden number 2,  £5 a litre for petrol because they don't like cars and a tenner a pint down the pub  ;)

Well unfortunately the Tories got in in my local area.  I say unfortunately because we're only now sorting out the mess from the last time they got in.  Not to mention the fact that I loathe the MP that's got in!!! However UKIP didn't gain a single seat, every cloud has a silver lining!  ;)

I can't wait for the Tories to get in, I'm really looking forward to interests rates of 15% again  ;) ;)
My idea was to build Liverpool into a bastion of invincibility. Napoleon had that idea. He wanted to conquer the bloody world. I wanted Liverpool to be untouchable. My idea was to build Liverpool up and up until eventually everyone would have to submit and give in. Bill Shankly.

Thought "politics", "sex" and "money" were taboo subjects in polite conversation  :)
If I ever get it all right - then that's the time to quit.

Perhaps this will hiccup will get Labour to put their thinking hats on again - they do seem to have lost the way a bit recently. The scrapping of 10p tax rate was an abysmal bit of legislation - I thought I never would see the day when labour had such a direct policy to penalise low earners.

I think this will be Gordans downfall.He needs to turn things round smartish.

He is not showing good leadership qualities.He has none of the slickness of Tony.Those are hard shoes to fill.

And Boris ............well..........he is good for a bit of comedy. :)

I checked who won in my ward this morning, and no surprises, Labour again, its amazing how many people moan about our council, but still vote them back in !!!!!

what was shockng to me though was that the Tories got half as many votes as Labour,(definately not normal) but the BNP recieved almost as many votes as the Tories

now that is frightening  :o
Life is to short !!!
