Donut, please don't even joke about voting Tory. Some jokes are just not funny I thought you were Liberal?


You probably heard that if three Labour MP's had voted against the Government they would have lost. Interesting that one of the leading "rebels" nick Brown, should switch his vote on the last day. He and a number of others are thought to have been "asked" to change sides by the Chancellor, Gordon Brown. It was Gordon Brown that was shafted by Teflon Tony over the leadership of the Labour party proving that a "gentleman's agreement" is worthless unless it's made by a gentleman.

You're right about the voting Tory bluff wellard! In 1974, for the "who rules Britain" I did enter the voting booth intending to vote Tory but I couldn't do it. i remember standing in the booth with my pencil hovering over the Tory box but when it came down the cross was next to the Labour candidate.

Yes, I consider myself to be a Liberal Democrat (please note the capitalisation, there is a great deal of difference between a liberal and a Liberal)

Barry - take heart, Teflon Tony continues to take hits, it's only a matter of time now. I note that his team have now leaked details of the Hutton Inquiry to the Sun Newspaper. Ironic - they have leaked details of an Iinquiry into a leak! What will these scummy toerags do next!
