He looks funny, sounds funny, has a funny name and is actually a nutter. You only have to look at him to know that this is a guy who KNOWS where not only his towel, but also his tinfoil hat is. And his girlfriend is a weathergirl! And his brother's a goth! (allegedly...)
That's who I want running the country. Nutters.
And that's not all - he's ethnically...
You can guess
Now I finally now how does he look like, thanks, Doomie

I think we're all LibDems here, pretty much.
If we're not, WE SHOULD BE!

Thanks for this - great idea! Both me and my husband tried it and now have an idea as to who to vote for! Both very relieved that it is not UKIP or Labour!

I have a suggestion....
read the following lyrics then make up your minds who you are/who you should vote for/who is gonna protect us/who is gonna protect "them"/who is not gonna do any of that......
I have just watched Question Time - The Leaders, and i can tell you it scares me! what this country nees is positive action for the benfit of all, not sheep.....
here you go:-
Listen to the victim, abused by the system
The basis is racist, you know that we must face this.
"It can't happen here". Oh yeah?
"Take a look around at the cities and the towns."
See them hunting, creeping, sneaking
Breeding fear and loathing with the lies they're speaking
The knife, the gun, broken bottle, petrol bomb
There is no future when the past soon come.
And when they come to ethnically cleanse me
Will you speak out?
Will you defend me?
Or laugh through a glass eye as they rape our lives
Trampled underfoot by the right on the rise
Welcome to a state where the politics of hate
Shout loud in the crowd
"Watch them beat us all down"
There's a rising tide in the rivers of blood
But if the answer isn't violence, neither is your silence
If they come to ethnically cleanse me
Will you speak out?
Will you defend me?
Freedom of expression doesn't make it alright
Trampled underfoot by the rise of the right
there is only one political organistation i would put in power in this country - ANL
I wonder what words of wisdom our "illustrious leader"(eldo..sic) has on this...oh sorry i forgot, he is too scared to leave his house, too scared too talk to people, too scared to voice an opinion, too much drugs... a shame, he once had conviction, its a good job that others still do!
Transmission Ends.

I think there's still too much "taking and not giving" but the "England is mine and it owes me a living" sentiment seems to have lessened. Or is that just cos I'm not on the dole anymore?

A better one:
I am the son
and the heir
of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
of nothing in particular
You shut your mouth
how can you say
I go about things the wrong way
I am human and I need to be loved
just like everybody else does

Ah, the anthem of a million bedwetters...
By the way, you made a little error, which I feel duty-bound to correct -
"I
decree today that life is simply taking and not giving..."
Not that I ever was a Smiths fan, you understand....

Hmmm. And I even copied it from the CD!
I don't think Freud would make too much of it though.

Of course we cannot vote for the self-serving spivs of the Conservative Party. Michael Howard's own Legion Of The Undead must not be allowed to carry on asset-stripping the country where they left off. Even the Conservatives are now upset by the unsurprisingly wanton offspring of an underclass which they themselves created in the eighteen years it took them to run down Industry, Education, Health and everything else they could get their hands on. Their reaction: merely to render a p*ss-poor election even more distasteful with Michael Howard's rancid appeals to the prejudice of the insular Right.
The Conservatives must not win.
But we don't want a Thatcherite Labour government, and this government has breached our trust on some important issues. This government needs a smaller majority and a decent Opposition.
According to our local Green candidate, the UK Greens are hoping to win just four seats, including the Labour fortress of Leeds West. Fat chance. Unlike their mainland counterparts, they oppose European integration. They've had years to sort out the punctuation and grammar on their flimsy leaflet. Waste of time.
The Liberal Democrats can't use an apostrophe either, but they are a credible force which has not marched off to the right or the Tigris.
Go figure.
Here in Leeds West, where there is no Tony Benn and where the Labour droid last polled a massive 46% more than the next candidate, we call for a vote (or two, or none, according to the fecklessness of your council and the kleptomania of your postman) against a government which erodes accountability and civil rights. Our vote in Leeds West won't make much of a difference. Yours might. Please use it.

I bet MF's got the day off work so he can camp outside the Polling Station, from 7am-10pm, clutching his autograph book. Just in case.
