While we’re all paying attention…
Guardian – Brown v Cameron – exclusive poll puts Labour 13 points adrift
Remember, this is because the Conservatives offer a viable alternative to New Labour… it has nothing to do with certain Tories being opportunistic, two-faced bastards.
(*ahem*)
Still no answer from ‘Guido’ (1, 2, 3)… just the same old toss, smears and spin.
Iain Dale seems to have suddenly backed off on the notion of comment registration, too.
Oh well… at least we have this promised improvement to Fox News Lite following my request to see a copy of a broadcast where I was almost certainly defamed. At length.
“I’m told we do not record any of the 11pm-12 programmes so that programme is not available. However, I have now asked for that policy to be reviewed as I think it is important that we keep a record of everything we transmit.” – Iain Dale
Just let that soak in along with the other stuff, folks.
A round-up is due soon… but it may very well be a half-timer. The same dipsticks who earnestly called for an end to this ‘unjustifiable hostility’ have now returned to firing mortars from what they think is a safe distance.
They’ll learn.
(Psst! No answer from Nick Boles yet, either… so this magnificent prize is still up for grabs.)
UPDATE – Iain’s turn to enjoy a right of reply. I’m loving this especially. Vitriol! Enough vitriol!

Let's not forget the part of the reason why the Tories "offer a viable alternative to New Labour" is because New Labour stolen many of thier policies. NHS foundation trusts being a case in point.Do some detailed searches on Lexis and you will find that amongst others Andrew Rawnsely, Polly Toynbee and John Rentoul have all said so in the last five years. Even thinkers such as Neal Lawson, Stuart Hall and Martin Jacques have said so. I can also vividly recall Madsen Pirie clearly stating about 11 years ago that neoliberals had no reason to be afraid of Blair because his outlook is similar to thiers.

"Let's not forget the part of the reason why the Tories "offer a viable alternative to New Labour" is because New Labour [have] stolen many of [their] policies."Not really alternative then, irritant. The opposite in fact.So do ya reckon I have to get a Lexis subscription to check your big list of dropped names or can you "vividly" remember some (any) links for me?

Blimey, it's pissing with rain, sarg spends all his time running errands for Generalissimo Muscleani and I'm down to me last woodbine. Any more of this and I'm gonna bog off and chuck a brick at summit…
