I wonder if Labour still receives money from notorious loan sharkssub-prime lenders Provident Financial to sponsor fringe meetings? And don't even get me started on their attitude towards higher education.

(Charles Kennedy) was doing well in the polls until he got the whistle blown on his drink problem.

Who do you think shot him down?

Sorry, but I hope these tabloid-led statist bastards get buried at the next GE. If there's anything that could change the Labour Party, and by extension, the country, for the better, it would be the death of Rupert Murdoch.

Better still, next time you see the wobbly-arsed Private Frazer-soundalike on the telly, try and imagine him sitting on a rocking-horse naked except for a nappy. The air of miserable Scots Presbyterian authoritarianism drops away rapidly!

I don't vote Labour. Never have done, probably never will.
