Once the nasty party always the nasty party – it’ll only be a matter of time before they start ripping into each other in the way Greenhalgh already has, or even more dramatically over Europe. They won’t be able to keep their true natures muted for long. Give them enough rope…..
Re the prominence — rather less than if a Labour council leader said the same of Gordon Brown and his team.
Did you put the words ‘organised’ and ‘rail privatisation’ in the same sentence? Shurely shome mishtake as dear old Denis would have said
I didn’t know that Dennis was responsible for the privatisation of the railways………
Interesting to hear the observations of Greenhalgh. Really think that the main figures of the Tories are all style and no substance. I truly believe they will unravel before May.
Be interesting to see what prominence the Alastair C fanzines give to this quote I found on a blog yesterday. (Or did a taxi driver say it?)
“Alistair Campbells comments don’t surprise me at all unfortunately. From day one, he and New Labour, have played a cynical bare-faced trick which bamboozled people for years. It involves claiming firmly and unashamedly that other people are doing what they are actually doing. It’s psychologically sinister, dangerously effective, hugely irresponsible and has corroded the heart of our democracy.”
Will they print it? Let’s just say I’m not holding my breath!
I am a student at university level and i wanted to know all the names of the spin doctors that Gordon Brown has hired during his term …
Thank you
