So, in other words, a cynical political calculation by a cynical MP and the cynical and unprincipled head of a party of reality denying fantasists and nostalgia riddled halfwits. It genuinely frightens me that so many gullible people see them as plausible enough to vote for. Clacton didn't have a U...

Will the Kippers, those who've spouted so often about Ed 'knifing' his brother, complain about Roger Lord being pooped on by Carswell & Farage ? They certainly can't crow about "local candidates not being imposed by the party centre" any longer. Carswell didn't even have the courtesy ...

Rusty is a complete and utter twunt, and I'm sure he's working for someone in government. Nasty.

Carswell is getting lots of kudos on twitter from all political commentators (incl our own Kevin McGuire :roll:) for his actions.

11.7 Several people interviewed expressed the general view that ethnic considerations had influenced the policy response of the Council and the Police, rather than in individual cases.

I get the feeling from some of the comments - no now deleted - that there are people would blame Labour in Rotherham more than they blame the evil b'stards that actually did it.

One of the usual suspects was well into his stride about it but found all his posts deleted eventually.

All the same, the second string of any Prem side should be able to duff over a League One side - I noted one or two well known names in the starting lineup, and I'm guessing there are a few more on the bench available to play. 3-0 is quite shocking.

I have no idea why the Tories seem to gleeful at Darling not performing well - no-one is going to remember these debates.

But they will remember Cameron being the PM who lost Scotland from the Union. For a Conservative and Unionist leader to lose Scotland won't play very well on his record.
