We can't possibly have left wing socialists undermining the state can we?
Left wing in theory, in practice a £2m London flat and £600k Yorkshire Home show his true beliefs. A loud belligerent man who even the miners turned against.Quote:

Do you remember the Lib Dems taking Ribble Valley back in 1991 Sinkov? It didn't last long, but that result caused the end of the Poll Tax and the downfall of Thatcher.
Michael Carr (who won it for the Lib Dems) is a bloody good bloke but the good people of the Ribble Valley reverted to type once the Poll Tax had been ditched along with Thatcher.
One man's 'reverting to type' is another man's 'seeing sense' I suppose. >;)Quote:
