@ prolesworth

yes it is very, very wrong .

Have you seen the "troops to teachers" policy? And the "sitting in rows reciting the kings and queens" stuff?

As was Chris Martin from Coldplay.

Group hug in the morning.

Brighton being called for the Greens - huzzah!

monkeysmama · 07/05/2010 00:35

What's the story with all these lost votes? Sounds like Hanging Chads .

I had a horrible epiphany about it tonight. I think Clegg may have attracted the attention of the Reality TV demographic in the TV debates, and then blown it all by saying that not all immigrants were bad etc, so they all turned to Cameron, who in appearences is almost indistinguishable from Clegg but shinier and with shorter sentences.

Is that a little too cynical?

Molesworth - quite an admission. No, me too. But am sure it will still be grim in education-land.

I think re. young persons it's the effect of the cappuccino years + historical amnesia + rebellion. But it should be radical politics, shouldn't it? All the ones I know are involved in Left/environmental so ... don't know where the young con voters are hiding.

Chunk of youth may have gone Tory - but not the kind who would turn up late after 3 hours in student bar, shurely?

Good grief @ Hackney South.

But that will be good news re. Green Brighton.

Yes, sure you're right about Gove. Feel must find one to hate less. Though perhaps it's not worth the effort.

Laughing at Clegg-Cameron identification error. Shinier with shorter sentences.

jenny60 · 07/05/2010 00:39

why aren't we seeing the brighton reesult live? It's historic.

ZephirineDrouhin · 07/05/2010 00:39

Yes you're probably right. Murdoch far simpler explanation.

I met one Scottish chap who was a Tory.

One.
