It was as expected. The Conservatives got trounced in the two bye-elections. Liberal in Devon, Labour in Wakefield. One thing can always be taken for granted, we punish the government in power when by-elections appear. Still interesting times. Dearheart was in Rwanda, always out of the country when there is trouble brewing!
Yes Dearheart, I feel sorry for him, that thick rhinoceros hide must be very uncomfortable! Note the two successful canditates, upright sober middle-aged men, you can't go wrong with them - well not very wrong I think.
lets see if either get on my list for people running the country, we all know the promises the realisation is another thing. Also been following the delightful media trail of Mike Lynch, he has quite a tongue on him and his opponents are falling by the wayside. The two little vicious media terriers Piers Morgan and Richard Madeley had their wings pulled off - mixed metaphors there! Though it can of course be put down to the Conservative publicity department. The cry of Marxism went up from Madeley , and then Lynch's avatar on F/B got up the nose of Morgan, a character called Hood - an evil, wicked character.
Someone said this morning that if B.J. was really listening to the voters he would have gone by now. He is doing a very good job in making the Conservatives unelectable. They need to get rid of him and the entire cabinet soon, but he is so good at divisiveness (it's a low-level survival tactic) that he is making it quite difficult.
ReplyDeleteHe will never go on his own free will. They will have to frog march him out, hopefully with two policeman on either side. It recalls Thatcher on the steps and her nemesis standing behind her.
DeleteInteresting times indeed.
ReplyDeleteYes anonymous, if you come back can you add a name please ;)
DeleteHe could validly step down due to ill health. He looks ill.
ReplyDeleteI expect all this rushing around dodging the truth ;)
DeleteI hope I get on this time - my blog is playing up. Results were only to be expected really but still good news.
ReplyDeleteWhoever you are, and I think your Pat, you come on as anonymous.
DeleteI'd heard that they had a plan to send undesirables to Rwanda.
ReplyDeletehaha.. there you are, he is the first one to go.
DeleteMy mum calls him Mr Piffle which I think is rather apt. Perhaps we should be glad that he is slowly destroying his party and that there seems to be a consensus that he is the best option, says it all really? Maybe they will lose the next General election and stay out in the wilderness for many a year to follow.
ReplyDeleteHopefully so. We are in need of a change, good conservatives, good labourites or good liberals I don't really mind. It is said of Lynch, that he brings an astute mind and fresh sparkle to socialism we will see.
