Regrettably at the most recent couple of elections there were no Respect, Green, SWP or Socialist Labour Party candidates on my ballot paper, leaving me a straight choice between the Bastards (con), the Don't Knows (Lib Dem) and the Don't Care any More's (New Not Labour any more).


Happily my MP is Robert Marshall-Andrews, QC, a fine example of the Old Labour, awkward squad, usual suspects.

No contest.

Even if I had a Blair-Brown-Tongue "New Labour" candidate, in stead of Marshall-Andrews, "New Labour", disgusting though it may be, is the least worst option. The only thing that might change mymind might be the Lib Dems giving a pretty solid guarantee (that's a laugh on several counts) NOT to concrete over North Kent. After all the fun we had stuffing John Two-Jags' plans for "Cliffe" airport, we have ben sold down the river by the KCC which plans to build a 10-lane motorway from Medway across a new river crossing to Essex, forming the start of an outer M25.
