Well, I have finally discovered who is standing for Labour as their chosen candidate to replace Derek Wyatt at the polls on May 6th. The above info was lying on my doormat yesterday evening.

Conservatives Win Round One!
Congratulations to the Conservatives, who were first to litter my letterbox with election recycling materials yesterday. Prospective MP, Gordon Henderson, is keen to replace Labour’s Derek Wyatt who has been a very active MP locally but who is standing down this time around following his parliamentary expenses revealing a penchant for pork pies and scotch […]
No Room At The Inn For Gays – But Jesus Is OK!
While the political rumblings might not be as severe as the 7.2 on the Richter scale being experienced by those in Mexico, Shadow Home Secretary, Chris Grayling, must have felt more than a little quake in the pit of his stomach following publication of comments he made in private to the Centre For Policy Studies, […]
The ‘Irony’ In A Labour Poster!
Just as I feared, Labour have now swallowed the bait from the Conservatives and are following them into an election campaign based on personalities rather than politics. The party PR machine has launched the above poster depicting David Cameron in the role of a fictional TV detective based in the 1980’s. Detective Gene Hunt is […]

The above is reported to be one of a series of posters commissioned by the Conservative leadership as part of their election campaign.

Shock Horror! It is being implied that our prime minister, Gordon Brown, is a bully and has been intimidating his staff by his rants and physical abuse. An anti-bullying charity has stated it has received calls from No.10 personnel seeking comfort and advice about the upset they are suffering while at work. Predictably, No 10 […]
Troops Patrolling Streets Of UK?…..It Could Soon Happen!

Richard Madeley On Saddam And Blair!
If I was Tony Blair I would be seriously worried tonight. TV presenter, Richard Madeley, who is the ‘Dick’ of the legendary TV partnership of Richard and Judy has felt the need to make a short film for BBC’s Daily Politics show in defence of our previous prime minister. I am not sure which shocks […]
Blair And Iraq – All In One Picture!
Having spent today following the reports of Tony Blair’s historic grilling, yesterday, at the Chilcot inquiry into the Iraq War, I was really not sure what impression I was left with. Then, I saw the above picture in The London Daily News and it seemed to sum it all up perfectly!!
