    Recession? I shan’t believe it until George says it’s true.

    Why is everybody so surprised? We know Gordon fucked the economy and we know it takes around 4 years to turn things round. It’s not a double dip – we never got out of recession.

    Tories and recessions go together like a horse and carriage

    its not a recession, it is part of an on-going economic depression. House prices need to fall back to normals levels before we can have a recovery.

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.
