Yes it is.

I think that she clearly has all the attributes required to be a politician, being duplicitous, disingenuous, and with an over-inflated sense of her own importance, that no one else seems to share.

Whatever you may think of Sophy Gardner..

....Therefore, I can confirm I would decline this money.”

Whatever......:rolleyes:

TBB (That B@st@rd Bliar) donated £106,000 to the Labour party for its 106 target seats; Gloucester is #38. Thus Ms Gardner's form of words is probably because she hasn't been formally offered it yet, but fully expected to be offered it.

Well maybe if you'd have served in a more operationally focussed role over the previous 10 years that led to GW2 and had been closer to the high-level intel then you may have a different view? Instead, by apparently sitting behind a similarly 'sexed-up' CV on your website and making a political point about your own service in the RAF, then you are, in my personal opinion, no better [edit] than Mr Bliar.

Furthermore, why your Party would support donations of such kind is beyond me. Why you did not take the money and gift it to the underclass, I don't know either - that would be true socialism. That is just another reason why the 'Champagne Socialism' of today's Labour Party will never, ever, enjoy my vote again since I voted for you in 1997.

Leon, should that be 'no better' rather than 'no worse'?

Thanks :ok:

Leon, your involvement in the incident with the pig, the banana and the vicar's wife could be forgiven as 'high jinks' , but this ?!?! ;)

You know what to do...

Well Leon, if you believe Ed Balls, you might repeat your 1997 choice... :eek:

Reference my foolishness in '97...

Good to see a chap doing the decent thing..................you've got no chance in Politics LJ ;)

Well done people of Gloucester - you made the right choice! :D:D:D

IMHO, of course...:ok:

It would appear that I was wrong about the Rt Hon Anna Soubry MP - she has increased her share of the vote by 6.2% over Labour in the Broxtowe marginal seat.

Credit, where credit is due. Well done. :D

Equally glad that Galloway has gone. I can remember his PR stunt in a red London bus to Baghdad whilst I was being shot at about 20-30 miles south by AAA!

Leon, please tell me you that you didn't have 'lock' on the bus and didn't take the shot! Far worse than the '97 incident.

Very sensible people in Gloucester. OBVIOUSLY!:ok:

I'm sure that by Monday morning her online profile will reflect that not only did she win her seat but she was made Prime Minister, Secretary General of the UN and captain of the England Rugby World Cup Squad, the first time that a woman has held these posts simultaneously. Well done Air Chief Marshall Sophy VC, Nobel Prize for Physics and Gold Blue Peter Badge winner.

Leon, I am puzzled, why six rounds with the pistol, are you such a poor shot at close range? :}

Thread Drift
 

I know I am a bluff old traditionalist, but returning to the thread title for a brief interlude, in fact Paul Smyth came second to Elizabeth Truss. This was a significant achievement as he polled nearly 12,000 votes.
