So, any Labour defectors to Lib Dems or Tories likely?

Blah, blah, Ed Miliband has left me behind.

The media would love it. And doubtless various people would make it worth their while.

Talking of defections, Shapps handled it incredibly badly. Reckless he said, lied. No fan of Reckless, of course, but the lie seemed to be that he said he wouldn't join UKIP- it would have been worse if he'd given a running commentary, so that's pretty much a white lie.

Being called a liar by Grant Shapps must be like being called boorish by John McCrirrick.

I remember when Quentin Davies defected, IDS was smart enough when he was interviewed to say "one of those things, had him in my team, bit of an eccentric decision". Stephen Dorrell, I recall, handled questions about Alan Howarth well too.

Mark Reckless, the ex-Conservative MP that defected to Ukip on Saturday, looked to have cancelled a planned walkabout to celebrate his move with leader Nigel Farage after a negative reaction in his Rochester constituency.

Thank you - I'd offer but I have no idea what to do.

Some of them are a bit out of date, though. Perhaps it might be an idea to ask everyone if they want them or not?

Maybe it might be better to do a little precis of the changes so far (I could do it when I get some time) rather than have some poor dab copying them all over?
Good idea!

Too late, I have copied everything over.

If anything is so out of date it wants removing, let me know.

Also. If anyone else wants to help copy anything from the previous site (Troll Busters, Temulker's fantastic essays etc...) please feel free.

After a photo opportunity with both men sitting down to have a drink, they had a private conversation, according to Sky News. Soon after, they each left, with Farage exiting in a car and Reckless escaping through a side door.

I love the 'UKIP? You prick' on the bus stop. Perhaps that nice Mr Farago might be tempted to stop the triumphalism next time a Tory (and let's face it, it's always a Tory) decides to bail out of the sinking ship.

Difference is that Labour MPs (outside of perhaps Rotherham, where Sarah Champion seems to have a decent personal following) are dead if they go to UKIP.

A retiring "eccentric" would be the only realistic prospect.
So I suppose those two and Field are the only possibles I can imagine.

I have said it before, throw in Danczuk and Abbot and I will send Farage a donation. Anything to be rid of three disgusting Tories and an embarrassing muppet.

With respect to Stringer and Danczuk why the hell haven't their local party deselected them.

I'd chuck something into the pot to get rid of Abbot too, how my foot hasn't karate chopped the tv when she's been on is anyone's guess.

I don't often hope Dan F Hodges is telling it like it is, but...

If the Tory party wants to turn its back on modernisation, fine. If it wants to marginalise issues like the environment and push Europe to the fore, great. If it thinks that Douglas Carswell and Mark Reckless’s vision of the future of Conservatism is superior to that of David Cameron and his Downing Street “clique”, good luck with that. Ed Miliband and Labour will win the next election, and the one after that, and the one after that, and all the other elections that follow.

Visit the old site and find a thread you want to copy over.

Go to the same place over here (we should have all the same forums) and start a new topic, with the same name.

You will need to copy the contents of each post one at a time (click, hold and drag over the text) and then paste it into the comment box over here.

You can then put the entire post in a quote, so you can attribute it to the original author - you will need to add ="author name" in the first quote tag. For example, if I was copying one of your posts, I would make the opening quote look like this:[code][quote="ephemerid"][/code]

Probably not him though. More used to getting his way because he says so and if he decides on something that's what's going to happen - no matter how daft, how destructive or downright nasty.

Tried them like that but the middle - squishy bit - sets my teeth on edge.
The only way I can eat them (so far) is sliced v thin and pan fried with garlic and onions till crispy (some would say burnt)

I never could eat jelly as a child either - still can't
