So that’s him fixed up with steady employment. £40K pa to the exchequer in tax.

He does. Mark is one of the good guys, even though I find his EU sympathies a bit far from mine.

[...] Conservatives as it proved to be over Margaret Thatcher’s. We can only hope not, but according to Guido Fawkes, the IEA is, “enjoying a burst of increased funding and activity as the expectation that their [...]

He was against ID cards and that makes him a good egg in my Observer’s Book of People in the News. Unlike certain other people who did nasty things with e-mails, whom we all know.

Master Baiter said: “Actually the public are terrified for the future, blame the City for the crisis and don’t trust the Conservitudes much. The Conservitudes core support is a rag bag of ill informed dimwitted bigots.”

Actually the public blame Gormless McBroon as well as the City and the Yanks, but the public can’t do anything about the City or the Yanks, but we can do something about Gormless (i.e. kick his fat useless one-eyed posterior back to Jockoghillieland where it came from!) You’re right that the public don’t trust Call Me Dave and his band of toffs very much, but they trust Gormless and Nu-Liebore a lot less (well not at all in point of fact) and regardless of the issue of trust, a Tory victory at the next election is guaranteed, and you know it.

I’ve voted Labour for twenty years, but never again, not after this shambles; that’s what happened to Labour’s core support, regardless of your name-calling about Tory voters, and I’m not the only one. I wish that I’d had the sense not to vote Labour in ’97. I’ve never voted Tory but I’d vote for anyone, absolutely anyone, rather than this fvcking disgrace of a Liebore “government.” (yeah I know everyone, I hang my head in shame, I soon learned the error of my ways.)

I don’t know where you get your news from, MB, but it’s not the same planet as the rest of us, mate.

Shame to see the venerable IEA fall to a notorious EU fanatic like Littlewood. Despite his treason, Littlwood is a genuine libertarian (yes i know you can’t logically be one and a federast but he is). He’s bound to use any compromises Cameron makes to raise the free marketeers against him in order to punish him for his scepticism and divide Tory patriots. There may be trouble ahead…

A man bored of porn is bored of life, as Dr Johnson said privately to his maid.

I don’t understand this concept the Czechs are going to do us a favour. The Lisbon treaty is a done deal.
The tories never gave us a vote when it was their turn, it was the tories who opened up our borders which has bought up this can of worms.
Why is it going to be any different, are the Czechs going to give us democracy and the b*p give us change.
I cannot understand the logic, what the difference from being stitched by an elected britisher or an unelected foreigner in brussels.
While we having been waxing lyrical about the eu, our own bucket of piss called westminster has been taking us to the cleaners.
How about we dont give a fuck who is in power over us as long as we make them give us something out of it
