To think this is the best news we have heard in a long time?

Hopefully he will go sooner rather than later and crawl back under the rock he came from.

I like the line about a "younger successor with less baggage" - what, you mean someone who wasn't shown up quite so royally for the weird, racist twat he is on Question Time

Why do we have to wait so long?

So they can find a knuckle-dragging ape who looks okay in a suit and wont look like an idiot every time he opens his mouth.

I think they are being realistic that they will have done that by 2013.

I do NOT look forward to their 'technologically-intensive campaigning', however

I was gutted they did so badly in the election. I was really hoping for £50,000 to pay for a trip to the Caribbean. Maybe I'll have more luck with his successor

I was hoping for £50,000 x 5 (for me, DH and our 3 kids).... until DH pointed out that as we were both white, native english speaker and with good jobs if he tried to get us to leave there wouldn't be that many people left.

Sorry to break the bubble of good news, but what difference will it make? They'll just get another racist, bigoted, ignorant tw*t to lead the party instead.
