Election logic

Inspector Knacker · April 26, 2021, 11: AM

Elections to me, are a market place. They parade fawningly before us with their wares, you eliminate the extremists, the fantasists, the the fanatics and then you read between the lines and you work out what's best for you and yours.
Don't tie yourself to ANY party, that's selling your soul to the devil for eternity.

I've never understood the 'my party - right or wrong' variety of devotion. Just spotted this article in the Express; if it is correct, why did Labour refuse to allow Owen Jones (who's not exactly right wing) permission to interview Williams? Weird.

Update - seems that Labour's changed tack & is now going to permit Williams to be interviewed by Owen Jones.

A pantomime horse without the ordure?

Oh ... maybe not ...

They'll have it by the bucketload, coming out of both ends.
The keen gardeners complete with shovel and bag, will be following them in their droves reaping a rich harvest.
Mind you, maybe a bull suit rather than a horse might be more appropriate.
