Blessed are the alarm clocks that wake your missus, for they allow you first peck at the juicy headline ... I wake this morning to find that Clacton has a UKIP Member of Parliament. That isn't all that surprising, the man was clearly unhappy at Cameron's leadership, and over fifty per cent of the electorate turned out to demonstrate that they are not happy with him either, to the tune of a twelve thousand majority over the "official concervative and unionist party candidate" with the others in the running reduced to the status not so much of "also rans" but more "did they bother to leave the starting gate ?" What I find most entertaining, coming as I do from a constituency where the sitting (L:abour) MP has pissed her 10,000 + majority up the wall and wonlast time by a mere 1000 votes on a turnout higher than it has been for a while, is that the OTHER by election, in a constituency LABOUR have held comfortably since it was created in 1983, a by-election caused not by political discontent but by the death of the sitting MP, UKIP came to within SIX HUNDRED VOTES of winning. LABOUR held the seat with 11,600 and something the UKIP's Eleven Thousand. I shall REALLY enjoy voting UKIP in May 2015 in Newport East. |

Clearly you have not visited Germany or Italy or France of late. What you class as wisdom most bottle as pub gossip. Germany is on the verge of a third recession in six years and France is in free fall without a parachute. The fact that I am old and infirm is not an excuse for you to mock my status, it just shows you up to be no more than a nasty callous wretch. |

As I have pointed out several times in the past, but it is a shame it is in that constituency because of the very high numbers of people using Camborne food bank. The current Tory MP stands NO chance or getting re-elected as it is. |
