OT; Desperate or what?
Mark Reckless was our local Tory MP and has defected to UKIP.
Not that Cameron is worried or anything, but the area is being swamped with Tories! We've had three letter from DC 'himself', dozens of Tory politicians visiting the area - having previously ignored it, a glossy full colour newsletter showing the two prospective Tory candidates and today teams of canvassers who don't know the area having been bussed in from far & wide. Is that the sound of puckering arseholes I can hear? -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

Trouble is people ought to be voting for the candidate that they feel is going to work for and represent them the best *not* the candidate that wears a particular colour. Maybe this is why those MP's that have "defected" and been relected under a different colour have been so. They actually care and do a good job. not just kowtow to a particular colour of whip. -- Cheers Dave. |

I don't see why it's any different from forcing people with deeply held religious beliefs to allow guide dogs in their shops and taxis, or gay people in their B&Bs. If they don't wish to comply with the law they have the choice to not be a priest, taxi driver or B&B operator. However removing the ability of discriminatory religious groups to carry out that which should be the function of the state seems sensible. Owain |

They probably shouldn't get married to somebody of their own gender, then, if they find it so offensive. How about if somebody claims to find it offensive for people of different skin colours - or even different social backgrounds - to get married? Should the law ban that, too? |

Most probably. And let's not forget that, as the law is are currently framed, it'd be actively illegal for an Anglican clergyman to officiate at a gay wedding, even if they wanted to. Utterly ridiculous. |

You talking about a corner shop post office? Those of course are all franchises owned and operated by the shop keeper. So if it closes it's probably because the shop keeper couldn't make it pay. Or because the Post Office's Horizon computer system screwed up, made it look as though the staff were thieves, and they were jailed or had to close down.

Meaning that it's probably lack of support from the protesters themselves causing the closure. True. But our Post Officeclosed because certain srvices were "taken away" from them.

I am still amazed that anyone can tell me they are voting Labour because they "look out for the workers". About five years ago, our local (Labour) MP turned up to support some people protesting at the closure of a sub post office. The MiL mentioned this as proof of Labours caring.

ISTR some research a while back which suggested that Labour voters simply abstain when they are punishing their party, whereas Tories will happily vote LibDem/Labour. Not sure what this tells us about the mental capacity of the party supporters, but anecdotally I have met many more people who claim they will "always vote Labour" than any other party. Really it's all about branding. Somehow Labour have the "brand" of being "for the working man", and that's enough. Doesn't really matter that they're not. They have that brand. Its not really very surprising given that there isnt really anyone else much who those are likely to vote for if they have decided that say Labour with Blair or the Brown one doesnt appeal to them currently. |

Are you sure harry uses more energy than an average family? He just made that up. I have no heating bill for a start. And very little transport energy costs. (Electric car) I generate more electricity than I use. I am getting in more PV panels too BTW all being well. As many as our local transformer will stand. The important aspects of UKIP are leaving the EUSSR and fixing the immigration problems. Much of the rest of their policies are bollix. As you would expect with a single issue party. There are a lot of weird people there. But no more than other political parties. At least they mean well. I have been to various meetings, I can guarantee this. Not like the crooks in the LIBLABCON parties. (Think of the Royal Mail fiasco) I just want to see them get sufficient leverage to force our departure from the EU. Or at least a referendum. Because Cameron lies, he has no intention of having a referendum. He can't get any concessions from the EU, it's what they are all about. Socialist control freaks from basket case failed ex-commie economies. |

I had a great-aunt just like that. Always voted Labour. Even after they'd trashed the economy. That was the CIA and the merchant banks. Get your facts right. The same thing is happening in Venezuela and they are using the NSA to do it. Your inability to know better is the reason that all the anti-terrorism measures are in force. Someone in Central America thought it would be a good idea to ask United Fruit to pay taxes and as that company was a front for the CIA all hell broke loose, forcing a situation that led to unstoppable interference in Western politics. It went completely out of control under George Bush and Tony Blair was unable to defend us from him. (Plus of course the little sodomite is now a millionaire. I can't imagine he tried very hard once his cornhole got used to it.) Vote for politicians at your peril. I had to laugh at that ageing punk, ****forbrains, belittling a comedian about his politics. He said his jokes weren't funny. I can remember that we had a vibrant music industry before him. Cue some unfunny jokes about rotten music. |

Mark Reckless was our local Tory MP and has defected to UKIP. Not that Cameron is worried or anything, but the area is being swamped with Tories! We've had three letter from DC 'himself', dozens of Tory politicians visiting the area - having previously ignored it, a glossy full colour newsletter showing the two prospective Tory candidates and today teams of canvassers who don't know the area having been bussed in from far & wide. Is that the sound of puckering arseholes I can hear? Good to see the smug lying *******s crapping themselves. Power to the people. Vote UKIP and give them a good kicking. I would agree with you there, yet you're saying in your reply to Bill Wright that UKIP's energy policy is full of drivel. Not exactly consistent, are you? Far be it from me to defend Harry, but you don't have to agree with every policy of a political party to give them your vote. Its generally a matter of which one you disagree with the least. Yes, of course, but he's so aggressively anti-nuclear and pro wind, solar etc that I don't see how he could possibly stomach UKIP's energy policy, or do anything other than vote Green. He cant vote green as he doesn't do green. Even after all his subsidy grabbing "improvements" he still uses more energy than an average family.

Or at least a referendum. Or that either. There may be one, but it won't be because of anything the UKIP does. Because Cameron lies, he has no intention of having a referendum. We'll see... He can't get any concessions from the EU, it's what they are all about. Socialist control freaks from basket case failed ex-commie economies. |

True. But our Post Officeclosed because certain srvices were "taken away" from them. You couldn't even buy a TV licence or road tax any more. You can buy both of those at most post offices, no problem at all. Perhaps that particular PO had been downgraded to a sub-PO? |

A lot of it was done immediately preceding the Royal Mail sell/rip off. Probably so it was more financially attractive to Camoron's mates to make a big profit. And sod the users who now have to make a fourteen mile jouney. Next thing will be to do away with universal postal deliveries and we'll all have to rent mail boxes like some third world country. |

But, hey, let's have a rant without having the first ****ing clue about what we're ranting about. |
