I think, like the Guardian predicted, the BNP winning any MEP's could be the tipping point for Labour backbenchers. I just think, it is obvious it wouldn't be any worse under say Johnson. I'm not saying Labour would win, but I still think they could easily avert a complete meltdown if they just...

What did he have to say for himself then?

Charlie Whelan? That's a name I've not heard for awhile..

Not forgetting the PPP mess on the tube, which is ironically going to lead to a strike this week. While people either blamed Ken or Boris, the mess came from No.11 forcing it on TFL despite the reservations of all the management at the time, including those Ken recruited from America who...

What papers/who said that? If that happens, Brown will be gone in days, if not hours...

No I guessed, no worries. You seemed far too upbeat for someone who would be studying it at Uni :lol: The independents could become very crucial, there are a few of them already(that Dr, to name but one), if we go down that route.

Well if they couldn't form a majority then it would be irrelevant. They could operate a minority adminstration but that wouldn't last too long. Where you studying Politics?

Plus Johnson seems more down to eath than Brown or Miliband, I think the thinking is he could actually communicate to the general public without sounding like a robot.

Alan Johnson PM? That's the only way I can see Labour managing not to be destroyed.

Yep. I seem to recall in '97, people like Andrew Lloyd Webber and Phil Collins said they'd leave the country if Labour won.. Now we know what swung it for Blair!

Like Kenny Everett with the Tories in the '80s...what a odd mix.

No wonder we had such low turnout then! It is so bizarre to think just a month after the last elections, everyone had to go back out and campaign. Surely there was nothing new to add to what had been said in May.

He was King of Albania don't you know..

1979 was our first Euro election wasn't it? I looked it up the other day, seemed weird to me as wasn't it held a month after the General Election?

I think Brown would have loved to sack her, I think he fears what she'd start saying outside the camp...

Did they even campaign for Euros then? I think it's due to a lack of membership and in the case of Labour, massive lack of funds. Up here in London we did get the Christian party rapping on a bus, mind you..

Meet Michael, he is in charge of our internet computer.. "Ahhh, but there's nee porn on it"

This issue has been simmering away for awhile and I think when/if the Tories make the confirmation of having a vote on the issue it could be an issue that swings Brighton Pavilion into electing the first Green MP.. I can imagine the "Infinity Foods" Blues aren't into fox hunting much, after...

It certainly wasn't worthy of an incident on the snake pass.

It is effectively controlled by them mind you. One of the two independents on the council, elected from Stanford ward I believe, votes with the Tories. It would properly become N.O.C if there were the by election that is rumoured to be on the cards in St.Annes Well ward due to the a.w.o.l Tory...
