The door is now wide open for the Prof
He's cleared the path for Pete Price...
"Vote for me, you vile no-marks!
Paul O'Grady is desperate for me to stand"
Shame really. Would have been able to at least give the politicos a close shave
Oh dear
Real shame
Purple Aki used the same excuse.
It is a shame to think that the nasty, bullying, dirty tricks of certain politicians and their campaign teams would essentially stop anyone else from having a go. That's democracy for you, I suppose.
They'll all be flexing their political muscles if Purple Aki decides to stand. He has a feel for this sort of thing.
Good news is, he says I can have all the balloons from his campaign launch.
Unless he means Bernie Turner!
Chucklebutty please don't say things about Berni you do not have the guts to say to her face. Now go and take some medication and crawl back under the rock from whence you came, you vile little man.
Anonymous, I would hope that the person in question would not be as offended by my comment as your tone suggests.
Whatever our political differences, to my knowledge, they have a sense of humour.
But being a gentleman, albeit a "vile little one" (no offence taken) I am happy to apologise to Ms B for any offence caused. Not least because they went up in my estimation for supporting Herbert rather than former colleagues in the Lib Dems. I wish they had been able to go all the way with Herbert's campaign.
I shall now return to my rock with another dose of Yeast-vite.
Why anyone would consider an unqualified inexperienced crimper in a political role escapes me
Ouanquere
People like him, he gives good hair
Most politicians are 'unqualified' lay persons - it's why it's called the House of Commons... Now read up on Oliver Cromwell, and the whole point of the Parliament movement...
Ok, we'll go with just inexperienced then, still not a lot to offer is there?
It called the house of commons because it is composed and elected by people who weren't eligibale to be in the Lords.
Send for Francis Maude. We need someone who can pour petrol on troubled... oops, sorry.. getting my Inflamm-A-Tory party mixed up with my hot pasties.
At least he'll be allowed back on the Linda McDermott show now, after Joe Anderson complained and had him booted off last week
