Michael Howard and Brixton

Are you saying you're NOT a Tory?

There's no shame in it! ;) I'm sure MrBC could help you out of the closet.

PS Have you voted for him yet? We only need 5 votes!

Now I've voted I think that must be the first time I've voted for a Tory councillor.

I reckon that Cllr is a Tory but lives in a Lib Dem - Labour marginal ward. Hence has voted Tory in other elections but hasn't ever voted for a Tory councillor. This probably means that he/she is reasonably young and doesn't live in the ward they represent. Wonder who it is?

Can't be. All the tory councillors (apart from me) live in their own ward.

if you're right on all points. it shouldn't be too hard to ID. it has to be a bloke cos - let's not mince words - they ain't none of them in the first flush.
In fact, there's only one Tory it could be (assuming BC ain't double posting): Russell Acourt.
however, I think it's more likely a LibDem

Russell lives in Gipsy Hill and, I assume, votes for himself.

I think cllr is (a) lying or (b) is new Labour

I'm sure the good cllr would never knowingly tell an untruth so s/he MUST be New Labour.

:)

Either that or s/he doesn't actually vote for her/his own party. :eek:

If you were New Labour could you bring yourself to vote for your own party? :confused:

Before the programme I was vaguely worried that we might get asked whether or not Michael Howard's leadership would make us more likely to vote Tory. I had prepared an answer on the lines of preferring to have my hand cut off than vote for any of them.

Welcome back Justin :D :)
 
BTW Michael Howard went to a nursery in Stockwell yesterday. Inevitably his smile makes him look a little like he's about to suck the child's blood. I feel a little sorry for him - he can't smile without people thinking of vampires. Then I remember how much I dislike him.

Please look at the kid's face! :D

He was on the news yesterday saying 'Would you like to hold my hand?' to a small child, it was one of the spookiest things Ive ever seen...

Blair's just quoted Letwin to Michael Howard at Prime Minister's Questions.... did the old trick of saying loads of things then pausing, and saying 'Not my words, but the words of the Shadow Chancellor'.

Simon Hoggart was not impressed. (Then again, I'm not impressed with Simon Hoggart. Mediocre son of a great father. And don't get me started on Arnold Toynbee's little girl.)

Apparently, the News of the Screws alleges today that the real father of Kimberley Quinn's baby is...Simon Hoggart!

It wouldn't surprise me if it was Tony Blair's, the way she's been shagging around, dirty cow.
 
Think she could be described as something of a social climber (social layer perhaps?). In Private Eye there's a story of how one reporter checked out the story that she is "famous" in the good ol' US of A as secretary to Cosmopolitan's founder, Helen Gurley Brown. Apparently Ms Brown said she had never heard of her (under any of her various surnames!) although a different woman called Quinn once worked for her.

How desperate are these people? :rolleyes:

Ironically, dickie birds tell me a certain erstwhile poster beginning with J might well be on that programme.

Curiously enough I just got a phone call inviting me to be on a Dimbleby Programme they're recording next Wednesday, all about the G8 and apparently with Gordon Brown, Kofi Annan et al. I'll probably give it a miss though: in the first place, it's "non-participatory" (by design, not just because Rachel Heywood does all the participating) and in the second place, it clashes with the chess club AGM.
