Unconfirmed: David Campbell Bannerman To Defect to Tories
Apparently the UKIP MEP, and sore leadership lose, is about to jump ship back to the Tories. ConHome have got wind of the same rumour.
UKIP sources weren’t exactly signing his praises yesterday afternoon, and he’s not answering his mobile….
UPDATE: DCB said he wouldn’t work under Farage at the UKIP leadership hustings. Apparently there was talk of booting him down the candidates list at the next European elections.
UPDATE II: Talk of DCB is holding a press conference in an hour…
Jump ship? More like jumping off a small rowing boat.
“Don’t stand up” says nigel.
I won.
Also “Seen elswhere”. I don’t know about you lot but I am still scared of spiders.
I think he was convinced he was going to replace Pearson
toys/pram/strop… I’M TAKING MY BALL HOME BECAUSE YOU WONT PLAY FAIR!!
Bannerman is leaping from a fucking bit of driftwood
I’m surprised at this! Hope it’s not a sinking ship. What’s he been offered?
If he’s jumping BACK then he’s already jumped out?
Can he be taken seriously if he constantly changes his mind on a whim?
more like an expert in parachute jumping:
borough councillor in Tunbridge Wells from 1992-1996.
In 1997 he stood for the Conservatives in Glasgow Rutherglen
2001 in Warwick and Leamington
North Cornwall in the 2005 General Election
involved in the “Save Acton Mainline” Campaign.
2007 Scottish Parliament … Highlands and Islands.
2009 MEP East of England region.
Has he ever had a proper job ?
Better troughing opportunities.
A career?
Obviously not a referendum on EU membership, two faced twat.
I am wearing my Sunday Lunch to a bowls party this evening
I’m wearing your semen
Let him foxtrot oscar then.
Farage, you’re fucked you fucking twat, taking the EU’s cash while spending every moment ‘opposing’ the very existence of the EU, is quite pathetic.
C’mon lapsed Tories in the ludicrous UKIP personality cult, go back to Osborne’s Tory party
UKIP members can hold their annual conference in a bus shelter…morale is very low apparently…except when the EU’s cash/expenses roll in each mumff
I am pondering a decision to join UKIP, I feel it will the best way for me to serve my constituents
Conservative voters on the doorstep during canvassing for 5 May seemed minded to jump the other way.
Why didn’t they vote that way then twat?
Oh goody!
Here comes another super-injunction
Perhaps he’s been offered a chair
on a committee to think again about
the possibility of promising something.
He obviously joined the self preservation society (now that sounds like a good title for a song. Mmm).
But he was only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!

Just heard the fat fuck Prescott on Radio Five Labour, gibbering on about uman rites
Where were Tracy Temple’s uman rites when he was slobbering over her, and trying to slip his half inch knob inside her on Crown Property?
Fat useless fuck….New Labour
Heard Today on R4 this morning and got the distinct impression their editorial line was a little ambivalent towards the breaking of super-injunctions.
What’s wrong with the BBC? One would imagine the thought of judges passing injunctions on newsworthy information, in some cases information that it would be in the pubic interest to release, would go against the deepest professional instincts of most journalists.
Whoops, that should read public…
Trouble is, yesterday’s party seemed all a little trivial and tabloidy.
You couldn’t have invented something that would generate so much apathy from people who don’t care about big brother or Man-U
One hopes that anything with genuine “public interest” could be broken.
The BBC seem to think that their position would be Marred in some way if superinjunctions were called off on the grounds that they were very silly.
Prescott’s voice cannot function unless bellowing
at 120 dbs. He ought be force fitted with a silencer.
Now we know about Ryanair and Greggs can I get on a plane and buy pies again?
Balls and Cooper were on BBC Parliament yesterday evening. They make Essex chavs look intelligent.
This is like watching a slow moving light aircarft crash.
Does that generate a bye election ?
it should do as people did not vote for him as a Tory
Don’t remember Qeuntin Davies having to re-stand for election when he defected to the Tories.
…from…
Wikipedia says:
“In 2009, he was elected to the European Parliament after UKIP won 19.6% of the vote in the East of England region.”
If this means he was elected from a list surely he should go and be replaced by the next person down the UKIP list.
Still, when was a politician decent or ethical?
Good point. Proportional representation for the Euro elections too – votes for UKIP were allocated to a list of prospective UKIP MEPs and not to any one individual. Can’t be democratic to reallocate votes which were for a party not a candidate…
I am
defecting,defecating
defective as well.
Henry Campbell-Bannerman, though, was a statesman and a half. He managed to be a Liberal, Scottish and quite left-wing and yet a thoroughly good egg and a truly great Prime Minister. If he’d lived, Ireland would never have suffered civil war, partition, or estrangement from Britain.
The Tories, meanwhile, had Joseph Chamberlain, who was also no slouch. They fought each other on the issues of the day! Either of them would be a giant compared with the pygmy politicians of today.
Eh?
What a Judas shitbag and a fucking tosser, tell him I want the money for my trainers I fucked up delivering leallets in the Eastern Region so that prick could line his pockets, better still I am going to tell him myself
should be short tenure but enough that he can see Private Ryan Giggs at his best (Private Rayn Giggs Gag courtest John -thinning on top- Snow)
