Very interesting website Boris and a thoroughly enjoyable read! But unfortunately, as much as the British public do not want to vote for the Blair/Brown axis they still will. Why? Because there is no alternative!

The Tories are to blame for three terms of Blair rule. Instead of voting Howard, Iain Duncan Smith and the fool before him (I can’t even remember his name), they should have voted with their heads and appointed Heseltine (and later Ken Clarke). While New Labour had the sense to go to the centre ground with Blair, the Tories foolishly went to the right and have lost out on 2 very winnable elections because of it!!!

As an Oxfordshire country boy, I’m collecting all the sun-dried cowpats I can, to dump on Brown’s doorstep at 11 Downing Street. He can then prudently take them back to Scotland in his carpetbag to save him depleting the Peat reserves in his own back yard. He might even zap liar Blair with one: that would pretty soon take the grin off his next door neighbour’s face!

One small difference between a sun dried cow pat and the B Liar: the cow pat can usefully be employed as follows:
1)Fuel for open fires
2)To make the earth more fruitful.
He , on the other hand , is neither use, nor , especially lately, ornament.

We’re between the devil and the deep blue sea. The constantly smirking, grinning, Blair and Brown: a man with all the charisma of a sun dried cow-pat.

I agree… indeed I think the Tories should go one step further and promise to permit the Scots to enact outright devolution and cede from the U.K…..thereby resolving the West Lothian question once and for all and going some way towards a slight improvement in the current overwhelming imbalance in votes needed per Labour MP v. Tory MP

Good lord, you’re playing the race card? You’re complaining about Brown’s place of birth? Are you suggesting that only people born in England should be able to stand in England, and correspondingly Welsh in Wales and so on? That’s a little hypocritical for someone who admits he stood for a Welsh seat.

As Simon says will you support devolution for every region, full devolution for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland where Downing Street cannot control matters in those regions, in return for those regions not returning to Westminster? That’s the only real solution to your complaint.

And then what happens when the press call out in the name of injustice. One can be sure that UKIP will then try to remove the freedom of the press.

‘I live in East Devon where the conservatives could put “Attila The Hun” as the candidate and he would be returned.’

I just hope that up in Totness that they do not let those rotten UKIP GIMPS in. I’ve never heard such a phoney bunch of anti-democratic losers in my life. They want to take the right away from me to vote in europe. And after they role back that part of our democacy how long will it be before I lose the right to return an MP to the House Of Commons? Not long I bet you! I hope voters will stand up in this election and say no to the far-right as represented by Rodger Knapman – a devil in a grey suit.

Boris “It is infamous that I, as an English MP, can be outvoted in very controversial questions by Scottish MPs, when I have no corresponding say over those questions in Scotland . . .”

True, but it is also infamous that many issues of importance to Scotland are controlled from London, for example North Sea fishing and oil revenues, not to mention defence, foreign affairs, relations with Europe etc. (The present constitutional arrangements are illogical and unfair to both sides.)

So – is it possible that the Conservatives will now support constitutional reform?

Will you support an English Parliament?

Boris: “. . . we could have . . . a prime minister who sits for Dumfermline”

An old song goes “The King sits in Dunfermline Town”, but Brown is actually standing for Kirkcaldy (pronounced Kirkoddy) & Cowdenbeath.

The Scottish seats now have incredibly long names. A deliberate ploy to create maximum confusion among English MPs.

Imagine in the course of a Commons debate mixing up Cumbernauld, Kilsyth & Kirkintilloch East’. ‘Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch & Strathspey’ or ‘Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale & Tweeddale’ ! And there is one in Gaelic: ‘Na h-Eileanan An Iar’.

“My Honourable friend the member of Inverness, Dumfriesshire & Kirkintilloch East . . I mean Inverness, Badenoch, and Kilsyth . . . I’m sorry I think it’s Nairn, Cumbernauld, & Kirkintilloch West . . . maybe I should spell it out. . .”
