I certainly haven't got rich on what I inherited from my parents.

Presumably you would prefer Inheritance Tax to be at 100%?

Lets face it, the bulk of the Labour vote is tribal, the ZANU-PF behaviour. They believe we can borrow our way out of the problem and no evidence to the contrary will change their mindset.


I cannot believe that people still vote for Labour, they almost brought this Country to it's knees. I see the UKIP or BNP did very well.

Mephostophiles and Faust spring to mind when I think of Mr Clegg these days. The shame for his party though is that so many of his good angels will now be tarred with his brush. Why are the backbenchers so silent? Can they not still be a voice of reason to bring about change in a metered way? I thought the backbenchers would have been our saviours. I was very wrong about that too :-(

There we have it. A new term. Faustian politics. Sell your soul to highest bidder for power and to hell with consequences... quite literally!

Sorry to disappoint you but, no they didn't. But when did you ever let the facts stand in the ways of your idiotic statements?

Jane Collins (Ukip) 2,953 (12.19%, +7.53%) Which gain is less than the Cons lost.
Enis Dalton (BNP) 1,463 (6.04%, -2.90%)


I'm afraid your fascist chums are unlikely ever to have an MP - as I pointed out to the insufferable oaf, Godfrey Bloom, recently.

For all its inadequacy, at least AV would provide a mechanism for shellshocked decent liberals to get rid of the Cleggites, by putting up candidates against them. And the same goes for the rump of Blairites who still infest the Labour Party.

As I see it, the whole lot of them 'got a kicking'..

Turnout: 24,219 (36.5%) -19.6%

The order in which the losers lost is scarcely relevant when almost two thirds of the voters (and increasing) couldn't be motivated at all.

It's high time we scrapped the idea of 'party' politics, especially at local level.

Well, that's all right then. The level of political engagement and intellectual debate has now increased exponentially. Glad to hear the Tapas was Spanish - as opposed to, say, Belgian.

Oh, and by the way, the restaurant's name is Galicia.

I've been reading it from time to time, out of curiosity only - most political threads eventually turn boringly partisan.

I usually just giggle at the odd bits of pomposity I come across - but if the balloon's big enough, I can't resist the occasional temptation to reach for a pin.

Anyway, Silas - Belgian tapas - there's a thought! Perhaps a bit like those "real" Italian pizzas made by that lovely Dr. Oetker...

Here at Spring conference in Cardiff. David Cameron has just made a great speech in which he told us that those leeches that live off benefits are his target. He also addressed immigration and teaching British history in our schools. David has shown us he is a great leader.

Having a wonderful time here folks.

I wish they could invent a condom that protected us from political diseases. At least with a condom, male or female, there could be an intimation of some pleasure yet to come. With a ConDem no such thing is iminent unless you happen to be rich :-(

I've had a fair bit of political contact over the years and can't say I've ever come across a decent conservative MP. Alexander Stockton was not too bad, but he was a peer. Some of the conservative peers who opposed the Licensing Act were not too bad either.

"This Richie Black really strikes me as a troublemaker, deliberately egging people on and then standing back and laughing his fool head off. He really needs to be ignored."

Aw, don't be a spoilsport. It's such good fun baiting Blackshirt and Bozo and watching them blowing and blustering and trying to come up with excuses and smokescreens to hide the fact that their beloved political parties were not only defeated but wiped off the political map. You could actually feel sorry for them......if is wasn't so hilarious :0

"can't say I've ever come across a decent conservative MP"

I've had quite a bit of contact with our local MP, David Davies, and, to be fair, he has always had the courtesy to give detailed replies and, on one occasion, sort out a difficult situation for me. Yes, I know that's what MPs are supposed to do but quite a lot just can't be arsed. Our local UKIP MEP, Godfrey Bloom, on the other hand, is an arrogant buffoon who doesn't give a toss about the people he represents.

Yes indeed Cameron of Lochiel is there with the rats in Downng street. However unlike Mrs T, he cannot win outright an election with 38% of the vote.

So keep pissing people off. And soon people will remember just what it is they hated about conservatives. last time poor John Major had to start cleaning up the shit, all her and Tebbits stupid rhetoric caused.

Well thankyou for sharing your honest thoughts with us Richie. Lets hope you're right and he sets a precedent and does a decent job - after all its in everybody's interest.

Having said that - I think he's a bit dopey. I don't agree with his nasty attitude to prince Andrew. there has always needed to be route into the palace for scoundrels like the Ceacescus and the Ribbentropps and now this Gadaffi bloke. i daresy when the price of oil goes through the ceiling, he will gain some insight into what randy Andy was trying to achieve. No use sending in the famous Five for that sort of gig.

This had me giggling when I first read it, but it's actually quite an interesting statement.

Here we have a politician at a party conference, surrounded by the party faithful, neatly ticking the boxes which represent the concerns and comfort zones of the party faithful. And this is your definition of what constitutes a "great leader"? I think it demonstrates - regardless of what political side you lean to - an overwhelming naivete on your part.

Great Leaders, if such people really existed, are as rare as hens teeth, certainly in this century. Cameron and Miliband and their ilk don't even come up to the ankles of people like Churchill and Attlee - and they were by no means perfect.

Do get some perspective - my dear man.
