retep Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 This time last year there was a lot of talk in the media about one Steve Moxon, a UKIP candidate in Sheffield who was disowned by the party after expressing sympathy for a certain Norwegian mass-murderer. Normal person? You decide. http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2012/11/21/steve-moxon-women-business_n_2170854.html The liebore paid for smear campaigns from the U Are Fools are wearing thin, just shows how desperate they are.

callippo Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 trying to make out the Eastleigh result was some sort of disaster for Labour just won't wash. They had no chance. If Eastleigh were a Labour-Conservative marginal like the November Corby by-election was, they would have won it easily just like they did that one. They have enjoyed double-digit leads in the national polls for months after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeX Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 There have also been confirmed reports of one Tory dressing up as a Nazi for a stag do. Aidan Burley is still Tory MP for Cannock. And? What is wrong about dressing up as a Nazi to poke fun? Its not like he was trying to invade Poland! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I1L2T3 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 And? What is wrong about dressing up as a Nazi to poke fun? Its not like he was trying to invade Poland! We'll he did get sacked from his government post. In 2011 four members of the Oxford university conservative association were forced to resign for singing Nazi songs at association events.

Manlinose Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 11/8? I'm not much of a gambler but doesn't that mean if you bet £8 on the Tories winning the next election, the bookies would pay out £11 if they did? Are they really long odds? That's about the odds you get on the sun shining tomorrow. i'm not a gambler either, but 11/8 in a two horse race seems a little bit cautious - just shows how evenly matched the bookies think they are - i've just checked william hill - an overall majority for labour is 6/5 - conservatives are 7/2 - most seats labour are 4/9, conservatives are 13/8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happ Hazzard Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 It's not a two horse race when there's coalitions. People who voted on the Tories to win last time lost their money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manlinose Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 depends on what the bet was - you can bet on who will have the most seats as well as whether or not they will have an overall majority and okay, it isn't a two horse race as there are lots of others at the starting line, but there are only two horses with any chance of winning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alchresearch Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 trying to make out the Eastleigh result was some sort of disaster for Labour just won't wash. They had no chance. I'm wondering why they fielded a TV celebrity candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
