King William IV indeed. Liam Send a noteboard - 07/05/2010 03:37:18 PM


I doubt I will ever see what is appealing about him. He's like Tony Blair with all the depth sucked out... and Blair didn't have a lot to start with.


Well he is said to be of Russian Aristocracy(i read it on a Russian site i think) Related to the Queen direct descendant of King William IV, or maybe it was Boris who was related to Russian Aristocracy, i know he's related to the Queen too.

To be honest i can't believe the Tories haven't buried Labour after the last 13 years, i hope Labour haven't been at the postal vote again, and i hope they don't lose any elections registers like they did at the Glenrothes by-election so it was impossible to tell who had voted, to check it against the suspicously high postal count ;)


It's strange, whilst I know a lot of Conservative voters, very very few of them like Cameron or Osborne (especially Osborne) at all.

I also agree with Snoop that the best thing for Labour right now would be to let the Conservatives run as a minority government for 12 months or so, then have a new election. The Tories have (somehow) been unable to kill off Labour, and I'd be shocked if they manage to make it a year without either massive cuts on public services/huge tax rises, or a double-dip recession. Downing Street's a poison chalice right now.

Oh, how simply grand it is to be travelling by dirigible again. Direct us to the west good sir, tonight we will remember what it is to live.
And the resemblance is uncanny.
