It's my game that's been upped in light of being presented with such choice material to mull over. <br /><br />Don't have a record of all the comments I've posted at different places over the years, but it would show that I've never put as much effort into being constructive as I have here - style of thinking very strongly influenced by environment, credit to you.<br /><br />Dig the nuclear air raid siren reference - quite chilling - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Peacekeeper-missile-testing.jpg" rel="nofollow">followed by tracks in the sky pointing at Labour seats</a>.<br /><br />Ahhh, what a satisfying thought - Go Dave!black hole sunsethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13754977921603292534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278366793340877738.post-17413521019797593472009-06-27T02:36:56.898+01:002009-06-27T02:36:56.898+01:00Suberb comment (as always), BHS.

It's a bit disconcerting when certain reader responses are way, way better than the original article, especially if you're the original article's writer! I'll have to try to 'up my game'. Oh dear.<br /><br />Anyway, Brogan: from what I've read over the years, he seems to me to be a bit of a semi-aligned, WMV shit-stirrer.<br /><br />But apart from that, he really is a bloody good journo. One of the best around. You can bet your bottom dollar he was brought back to the DT to broker the expenses CD deal - or at the very least to oversee the research and the coverage.<br /><br />In other words, the story about the Cameron purge of the Tory landed gentry is almost certainly true. If Cameron is serious about creating a genuine party of the aspirational, 'middle' classes, then he's decided to complete the Thatcher internal revolution and he has my total support.<br /><br />From what I've seen of Cameron recently, I'm starting to think he's finally located his raison d'etre. It was right next to the servants' quarters all the time. (No, I've no idea what that means but it sounded witty so I writ it anyhoo).<br /><br />Er, time for bed.Jon Lishmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07272058035800593800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278366793340877738.post-13092397856800500592009-06-26T22:56:31.200+01:002009-06-26T22:56:31.200+01:00What a damned horrible thought - made all the wors...What a damned horrible thought - made all the worse by being such a good fit with the evidence.<br /><br />Still, all eyes on this by-election, and best of luck to the Tory candidate! <br /><br />The Tories seem to have kind-of settled on not having a yes/no referendum if the Lisbon Constitution is ratified by the time they, hopefully, get in but I wonder why they haven't suggested a more/less referendum (not ideal) in that case? The advantage being that they might be able to pick up some useful votes from UKIP and a "less" vote would stand in stated opposition to, heaven forbid, any future Labour government that wanted us all to step into the EU's fly infested teleporation pods.<br /><br />I suppose we deserve to be pampered a little after all that we've been through, but annihilation, could life really be so sweet? Let's hope so! Or better yet, only the worst Labour trolls survive in the safest seats so their party is polluted for decades by shrill, clueless zombies. Imagine "An Opposition of all the Blears'" - how fucked up would that be =)<br /><br />Found <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/columnists/benedict-brogan/5627033/The-Great-Purge-has-started-in-the-Conservative-Party.html" rel="nofollow">this</a> linked from Guido.

(or should that now be 'Michael ...Jesus Christ! (or should that now be 'Michael Jackson!'), I hope this isn't true, Spider. If it is, though, and if the Tories don't give us the referendum regardless of the Mandelsonian, Trotsky-ish world socialism, anti-democratic EU conspiracy, I will never bloody forgive them.<br /><br />They'd better get their policy straight on this.<br /><br />For one thing, an unconditional referendum guarantee in their manifesto = landslide victory, regardless of that fat degenerate slob, Ken Clarke's Euro-fetish. <br /><br />Don't they know that?Jon Lishmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07272058035800593800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278366793340877738.post-83807475649987781142009-06-26T16:56:44.669+01:002009-06-26T16:56:44.669+01:00I have a strong feeling that the current theory re...I have a strong feeling that the current theory regarding Mandelson's skullduggery is probably right; i.e. he keeps brown in place just long enough,(to avoid a general election), for the Irish to deliver the "correct" result in their referendum rerun and the damned Lisbon Treaty is ratified. We all know that plunging Britain headlong into a Federal EU is Mandy's mission in life - then he can use his dark arts to get his malleable pal Bliar installed as President, God help us!Barking Spiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00968827142725464915noreply@blogger.com
