Where’s the Election Night Party?

As the campaign rolls on, invitations to the various election night parties are flying around. None of the political parties want to be seen organising anything for fear of the obvious headlines, but that hasn’t stopped the media. The BBC have gone with a boat moored opposite the London Eye, ITV a stones throw away at County Hall, and Andrew Neil is said to be throwing his own exclusive personal bash at a mystery location.  Some of the think-tanks are organising smaller parties. The biggest party of the night will be held in the Sports Cafe on Haymarket in Central London.

Serving booze from nine until breakfast time the next morning is the party’s best selling point, but add to that all the news channels playing across fifty screens throughout the night, with Wi-FI, Blackberry and iPhone charging facilities, drinks deals, four bars and live betting market price updates. With 700 guests expected the broadcasters will be using the central London location as a backdrop for two-ways. Guido is planning to swing by, joining the blogging twitterati who look to be setting up camp there for the night. As it will be the only place open when the counts finish, it looks set to be the place where people come to cheer or drown their sorrrows.

More info on Facebook, so reserve your spot, regardless of what time you will turn up on the night, here.

UPDATE : Brillo has been in touch to point out that his exclusive personal bash is actually the BBC boat party.  Sadly Guido won’t be joining him, as he is under contract to ITV…

          BMP announce massive tax ciuts and investment - No bullshit says:

          The BMP, unlike the failed establishment parties, has laid out in its manifesto its programme for cuts in public spending; cuts which whilst maintaining essential services, such as the NHS, go far beyond anything the corrupt establishment parties are proposing.

          These include:

          £18 billion by scrapping subsidies and the “green levy” attached to fuel bills in support of the ‘man-made’ global warming scam.

          £4 billion by scrapping payments for benefits, housing, support and legal fees made to ‘asylum-seekers’ annually.

          £13 billion per year by scrapping all payments, grants and subsidies that fund the imposition of multiculturalism on the people of this country.

          £5 billion by pulling out of Afghanistan.

          £13 billion annually through scrapping Britain’s grotesque foreign aid budget.

          The BMP — practical policies for economic revival – no bullshit.

        Why do they need an inarticulate Tory spinner posing (but no longer convincing) as an independent and rebel?

        What will Guido do if the Tories win, will that be operation Guido wrapped up?

        or will Guido switch sides and pretend to be a rebel all over again for the other team trying to maintain the idea that you have `choice` when you are clearly hearding people to have none!

    Littlejohn demonstrates that Gordon Brown is indeed a socioapth:

    “Whenever I have described Gordon Brown as a ‘sociopath’ there have been plenty of people eager to accuse me of exaggeration.
    Even friends have taken a sharp intake of breath and said: ‘Steady on, Rich. You’ve gone a bit far this time.’
    So, in the light of Gordon’s deranged outburst in Rochdale this week, let’s consider the evidence……….

          it's like waking from a nightmare says:

          “Gordon doesn’t just hate Tories, he hates everyone — Labour voters included.
          By the time you read this, the last of the unreal TV talent contests will have taken place. Yesterday morning, Brown glued on his One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest grin and was back on the stump as if Mrs Duffy had never happened.
          We were told he was relishing a debate on the economy — an issue upon which he thinks he is ‘strong’.
          The man who has bankrupted Britain with his profligate policies — landing us with the biggest debt in history — would have us believe he is the only person qualified to lead us out of a toxic economic swamp of his own creation.
          Incidentally, you won’t be surprised to learn self-delusion is another classic characteristic of the sociopath.

      I can’t think why anybody would stage an event at a busy roundabout in Hockley, next to an underpass. With respect to Hockleyans, it’s not the sort of area where you go for a morning stroll and such a parade bound to be distracting to drivers. Labour may have slipped a little from their usual standards of excellent planning and respect for the electorate in this case.

        Meanwhile, Brown has also bankrupted the country under unimaginable levels of debt which has gone on creating a massive chav underclass, an immigrant invasion, sucked in vast foreign imports, enriched billionaire spivs etc etc for which you will be considerably poorer and living in austerity for generations to come.

    Offends lifelong Labour voter

    Apologises by phone (after being caught out, of course)

    Makes a complete chump of himself by visiting her house in person, having given the world’s media sufficient time to get there and wait for him

    After 40 minutes of begging, leaves house unaccompanied by Mrs Duffy and unleashes his now famously creepy smile

    Now claims that he thought she said ‘fucking immigrants’

Tom Harris bemoans the public’s attitude to politicians…

“Mr Oborne echoes the lazy, anti-politics whine we hear so often these days, all based on the absurd notion that politicians were once loved and only fell out of public favour during the expenses scandal. He should take a walk to the Strangers’ Bar. But not to sup with the patrons he seems to despise so much, dearie me, no; he should instead look at the paintings on the corridor outside the bar, which depict the devastating fire which consumed most of the Palace in 1834. And he should reflect on the fact that on that dramatic night, as the Commons went up in flames, a crowd gathered on the South Bank to clap and cheer.”



Focus group time. says:

The thing that Dave needs to work out is which group is more likely to vote Conservative. Mad swivel-eyed loons or mad homosexuals wishing to get married.
