He's going to be a busy lad; according to Mandy, he's going to be out on the campaign trail at election time.

That's before people sussed him though, Bernard. I'd love to see you knocking on doors with him now. I reckon you'd have a reception you wouldn't forget!

I'd also send you (health permitting) out to canvas local voters with Thatcher. I reckon the reception you'd receive would be similar!

I wish he would canvass at my house........I don't think he would stay long.
The man is a lying, self serving slimeball, who wouldn't know the truth if it bit him on the bum.

That does not mean that I am a supporter of the tory party either, but in the light of the current investigation into the war in Iraq, and teflon Tony's part in it.......I think the Labour party would be nuts to have him out and canvassing for support.

The very fact that they're are even considering using him shows just how totally and utterly out of touch with public opinion the Labour party have become.

Well, I just hope nowt happens here in London on friday. Blair is up before Chilcott, the Afgan conference kicks off and our security status has been upgraded to penultimate level, re:attack. And I can't get back to Accy for a week.
