"Tory attack dog bites self"
First, he thought that British cities resembled the blood-strewn, murder-riven US city of Baltimore, Maryland, as depicted in the hit HBO show The Wire, but then admitted that he hadn't really watched more than a few episodes from the first series. In terms of gun crime, gangs and murders, Baltimore bears no resemblance whatsoever to British cities such as London, Birmingham or Manchester.

Now, the shadow home secretary Chris Grayling has attacked the appointment of General Sir Richard Dannatt, the former head of the army, as an adviser on defence, as being a "political gimmick" -- thinking it was Gordon Brown's appointment, not David Cameron's.

2. The more I hear of the Tory conference...
... the more I´m beginning to believe that Labour could pull the fat out of the fire. Bring back Alistair Campbell to power the No. 10 rebuttle machine and Labour could have it´s Sir Robin moment (at the bridge of death, feeling it was hopeless, then hearing exactly what the three questions are. "That´s easy!" All they need to do is rememeber the capital of Assyria).

It´s sad comment on the state of British politics in general and the Labour party in particular that these bozos are so far ahead. They really are totally clueless.

3. Nice to know that Thatcher's goons....
.... are still as clueless as ever.

I hope the voters will remember those 18 years of misery before they go to the polls.





The face of evil, lest we forget....
