Just thought I'd air the bollocks first.
The Prime Minister toured the regional receptions getting steadily more pumped up in his anger about Reckless’s duplicity. Rumour is rife the words ‘effing Reckless’, ‘fat arse’ and ‘dick head’ were blurted out in various versions of a tub-thumping turn by Cameron. The Tories are going to fight Rochester hard – that was very clear by the time the PM arrived at Conservative Home’s late night reception for the 1922 Committee. By then Dave was in full blown Mr Angry mode, telling activists and media types that Reckless would be punished.0 -

Garbage. You have never had anything but utter disdain and contempt for UKIP. Trying to pretend now that you wanted any success for them is completely dishonest.audreyanne said:http://news.sky.com/story/1377357/ukip-hopes-high-as-rochester-polls-close
What we seasoned observers realised from the Reckless nonsense last night then. Single figure UKIP win? Or is Farage now dampening in order to pump tomorrow?
Either way, Kle4 got it spot on last night: UKIP are no different from the rest. Flannel. Dissemination and Spin.
Sad really. The romantic in me liked the idea of a successful party that was different. They aren't.0 -
On the other hand Cameron could have been more careful about his choice of candidate for R & S. Tolhurst wasn't good enough to beat Reckless. It does beg questions about CCHQ's strategy to beat UKIP; trying to out do the anti anti party line didn't quite work - see last week's leaflet about the local candidate.steve_garner said:The Tories are within reach of a win in the GE with Labour in crisis and yet some Tory MPs are supposedly talking about a leadership challenge because of a by-election result! Bonkers. The self indulgent clowns will deserve to lose if they challenge Cameron now.

And they'd be fine with that. The Tories have a lot of issues confronting them, but that so many don't want to fight UKIP (hell, for the longest time the leadership didn't either, sticking with insulting them or ignoring them until they had no choice), and as they are the biggest obstacle to a Tory win, they apparently don't want to win the GE either. Not with Cameron at the helm.steve_garner said:The Tories are within reach of a win in the GE with Labour in crisis and yet some Tory MPs are supposedly talking about a leadership challenge because of a by-election result!

I'm going with UKIP, but by slightly less than expected. We'll see in the morning.

TimB I expect the Democrats are trying to lock-up the Hispanic vote for them as Lincoln did the black vote for Republicans until the Civil Rights' Act. However, at the moment, as the rise of UKIP and the mid term results in the US show, on both sides of the Atlantic the majority of the population want tighter immigration controls0

Lots of Chelsea supporters in my working-class area of Exeter - who do like to display the English flag for the football team of course.SouthamObserver said:
I do enjoy Socrates on the working class. All Man Utd fans outside Manchester are effete metropolitans. Ditto with non-scouser Liverpool supporters. Who'd have thunk it?Socrates said:
You don't get glory hunters supporting West Ham. That's another split between the working class and the Islington types. The former support either their Dad's club or, if he doesn't have one, the nearest one to their house. The prawn sandwich brigade choose whichever club is the trendy successful one when they got into football.TheWatcher said:
You seriously think the flags were put up for the football?Ninoinoz said:Re: flags tweet.
England have played two football matches and one rugby match within the last week; hardly surprising that flags were out.
One of the flags is defaced by the West Ham coat of arms. Clearly must be from East London or Essex. I would have thought Charlton would be more appropriate, but it just goes to show how far the WWC has been displaced.
PS. Nice to see Labour getting the UKIP treatment over an essentially harmless tweet.
I've seen Man Utd flags in the Far East. Never realised it was a sign of displacement.
I don't think they're all émigrés from the Russian invasion of that part of London, but who knows?0 -

ScottP Many socialists will have sympathy with John Lennon's words 'imagine there's no country, nothing to kill or die for', including Emily Thornberry it would seem, and of course Marxist thought is based on an international class struggle and anti-nationalist.

It's not quite as good as Rumsfeld's Unknown Unknowns, but it's definitely pretty good. He hasn't really had many good lines - few politicians do these days.

True, although I'm rarely clear on when the right time to sack someone is when a media storm of some proportion erupts. I cannot forget that many of those who called for Mitchell to be immediately sacked later also criticized Cameron for giving in to the pressure to sack him after many of the police lies came to light (not that Mitchell does not appear to have been a stand up guy on many occasions). Tough to make the call on if it is too soon or too late.Floater said:
