Bitter Tory alert. 🤣

Don't be so harsh on him: his heroes are going to get eviscerated come the next GE.

Dorcus not Doucas tonight then ?

:) heroes - I dont think I have any political heroes - maybe Ghandi. Cant think of any latter day UK politicians I would put in the hero bracket.

ps it's a fool that tries to predict a GE election result this far out. Or even a few days before... my Dad was at this conference.

I was there too - and in the hall it didn't sound odd at all. The problems came when it was played to 50 million people who were not in the hall, not willing a Labour victory, and coming totally cold to a clip of an event that had been building for hours.

Kinnock read the room but not the country.

The cult dynamic / vacuum chamber politics is one to easily get caught up in - my Dad did.
He believed it all - probably no different to one of those US TV evangelists and then people just handing over their cash. I think someone told Kinnock he needed to act as if he was the prime minister already - and this was the plan.

But as often happens - you have a plan then you get a rude awakening when you meet the people who dont normally vote for you - and those are the ones you have to convince - rather than the converts already in the room.

You're way behind the times son. They call them psephologists, not fools these days. Didn't they teach you anything useful in Ely?

Is that your new word of the day you have learned - as you casually drop it into conversations to make yourself look intelligent.

ps - dont live in Ely - but have a few friends who do - do you have a problem with Ely perhaps ?

No.Ive used it a myriad times before. Why would I want to make myself look intelligent Hip? I think that tells us all much more about your psyche than mine.

No problem with Ely at all but I have a problem with superficial mercenaries. By the way how's your partner getting on with her charity donations Hip?

Ah I see - in your head you think Im Hipster - not much I can do about that - but if you want to keep fantasizing about it - then carry on.

And by the same token you continue to fantasize I'm Sludge or Doucas and equally there's not much I can do about that.

Re: Muppet Show and Keir Mather

I don’t think you and sludge are the same person, maybe long term gay lovers perhaps.

I'm certainly not gay and neither do I believe Sludge is. Another one of your salacious fantasies I guess!
