Here in London, Livingston is still in with a good chance of retaining the mayoralty. Even Brown's public support for him hasn't yielded the usual kiss of death to his hopes. MW

Apparently, the Labour Party is bust in the very real sense of being insolvent. Which is very fitting. Beautiful. Apparently, the Labour Party is bust in the very real sense of being insolvent.

It's a small recompense for all the aggravation he's inflicted on us over the last decade. I do hope Brown’s in trouble - lots of it.

The theft part covers the destruction of many of our ancient freedoms including freedom of speech. Just how do these people define thought crime/hate crime anyway? Summed up by an elderly heckler being frogmarched away under antiterrorism rules. Just shows you how law can be abused. This, the human rights act and RIPA are all very bad news for Joe and Jane citizen who can be banged away for 28 days on a whim. Goodbye habeas corpus, hello tyranny. This isn't right. It's fine when it's only swarthy chaps but not when it gets applied to Anglos, and it will be. I expect several apoplectic retired colonels to have myocardial infarctions once the Nu Labour storm troopers swing into action. They seem to think the novel 1984 was an instruction manual rather than a warning. And when I think about ID cards with all the interesting info on them, the phrase "Papiren schnell!" for some reason rises to the surface of my forebrain. Dunno why, it just appears. Must be a thought crime so I suppose I'll have to turn myself in at some stage. BTW, has CCTV ever prevented a crime? We are supposedly the most watched society in the world, but just how many bored, minimum waged security people are there keeping an eye on these cameras? And the quality of the recordings requires help from the CIA optics and image recognition department whenever it might possibly be able to identify a scumbag criminal in action. If only they were as good as those on every roadside corner crime would be abolished tomorrow. ….”maladministration, lies, theft and titanic conceit”
