The Age of the Mingers


I had already said it would not make much difference. In fact as a Conservative Huhne would clearly have been a little worrying. But between Ming and Hughes (whilst we would have preferred Hughes) I am fairly happy with Ming.

So Ming instantly moves from "Interim Leader" to "Caretaker Leader". Is that a promotion?

What is all the fuss about????

I watched the results come in on the BBC's wonderfully excellent (not) 24 hour service, and saw a sight to make me vomit into my porridge.

Ed Davey practically wetting himself on the fact that Ming won, Kramer as moist and sore as a French hooker at the end of a nightshift, and the newly elected MP for Dunfirmline and East Fife head over heels that Ming-Da-Gormless had won.

Quite frankily Ed Davey reinforced the popular opinion that he's as wet as a fish's wet bits. Kramer is just plain thick, and the newly elected MP (forgotten his name) didn't know whether he was coming or going.

Let's be honest here, Ming is a poor candidate, he demonstrated that on his very first PMQ's making an arse of himself in a packed out lower chamber, he says his record on standing by the Libs' stance on Iraq is something to trust him by. Err...not really Ming, considering back in 2002 you were relatively pro-action against Saddam. And the biggest contradiction of all! The Liberal Democracts wanting to devolve power back from central government and hand it to local authority. Localism! screams Ming at the top of his voice. But does one not find this a tad contradictory? considering the Liberal Democracts are in favour of the largest most corrupt,undemocratic, wasteful, pointless political institution in the world......the European Union?????

Yeh, some policy on localism they have. If they were genuinly serious about handing power back to the British people they wouldn't be so painfully Europhile.





R-J as ever.

mmmm did not see that nice Mr Oaten in Mings line up for shadow cabinet,strange as he is certainly a shadowy character.

Turning to Ming,I reckon its a great result;Hughes would have been equally good but the chap Heune could have been just the chap the L/Dems needed to get them going.

Lucky Cameron,he seems destined to have rather poor opposition in both N/Labour and L/Dems.

As long as the "men in suits" keep out of it the Tories can head for the sunlit uplands.
