My money's on Blondie. Ken has seen the glory days of Nu-Labour and boisterous Boris will usher in change the way a storm does when the earth and its inhabitants have long bent their respective heads in prayer for an end to something and a break in the drought. Boris must bring on the lightning and the fertility of a new age for London. Small fry aren't likely to win but they may be able to cut a dash for future reference.

Aardvark

Frith, when you mention fertility do you mean Boris' affair?

I'm not aware of the affairs of men but it can't be worse than Max Mosley's antics. Can it?

Aardvark

Worse? I haven't read all of the details, but I gather Moseley wasn't at a Nazi orgy (whatever one of those is), but had just employed 5 German speaking prostitutes to spank him. Max isn't asking anyone to vote for him and he probably isn't putting himself forward as a family man so at least he won't be tagged a hypocrite. Germans view prostitution in a different light with licensed and taxed brothels and regular check ups. So normal is prostitution that the German government was surprised to find more women working voluntarily in their brothels than as teachers in their schools.

Apparently it happened in London? The F1 and motor corporations are jittery about the whole thing. He has gone and done it, big time, I think as far as his position is concerned. It is debatable whether or not a man of his standing should engage in things like spankathons. S and M is abnormal to say the least. There is nothing normal about desiring pain and sexual gratification in one go. Having an affair is different but can be equally problematical in terms of one's position in a company or political party. In a family, of course, it means pack your bags (don't forget your whip and handcuffs) and leave. It would seem that the same applies in big business and politics. Because the positions (please excuse the terminology) are high profile (again, pardon, monsieur). Or in this case, Herr Obermeister Wack-a-Bot.

Aardvark

London? Oh well. The girls might have been flown in as happens with the rich. F1 are being a bit naughty. S&M is a peccadillo that harms no-one; F1/Ecclestone paid a million to Labour (returned) to keep tobacco advertising on their cars. I'd rather be spanked than smoke tobacco; it's safer.

This thread is about an election in England being discussed in the 'English Democrats' category. The mere fact that you have commented means that, yet again, a Scot has intervened in an English matter and, as with 'nationalism' [see below], you have sought to misrepresent the situation. Yes, I did aver that Scots always like bringing themselves up in discussions, but this is in addition to all the other unwanted criticisms they insist upon making in an England context. If you had something constructive to say, it wouldn't be so bad, but then. I suppose you have to live down to your true nature.

You, a Scot, presume to make disparaging comments ('left wing nut' juxtaposed with 'being a nationalist') about the Englisgh Democrats' mayoral candidate, but without having the candour to make clear - even just for the casual surfer - that, by your own admission, you are prejudiced against nationalism per se. [Well, we know what you are against, but what are you for? Are you just another uncommitted freewheeler? For the benefit of your malign reductionism, nationalism is far more than "worshipping the ground you were born on"! Were that to be the case, Frith would be in some difficulty with her English nationalism! Perhaps your failure to understand that explains your anti-social stance?]

You have implied with the words: "Why doesn't he just come out and say that he's a collectivist?" he is just that. For my part, I have asked for your evidence for making such a suggestion. Contrary to other nonsense about me 'getting away with it', I am seeking to establish whether is any substance to your sour post, or is it no more than mere anti-English sentiment emanating from a Scot. The fact is that you have failed to adduce one argument or shred of objective evidence to justify making you slighting comments!

It strikes me as odd that so many individuals who do not even live in England presume to make unsubstantiated and unargued comments about English matters.

You take licence to make personal comments about me. Fair enough! It justifies my making comments about you being a Scot; otherwise you might eschew doing this yourself - if you were consistent.

I merely referred to your nationality. However, you chose to make derisory comments about my apparent mental state. In the circumstances, I feel justified in recording that you appear to be unthinkingly and inconsiderately rude!

I disagree about S&M. This is what was happening to the children from the care home in Jersey. Often it is this that leads to S&M fixations later in life. Whether between consenting adults or not, abuse situations are not normal.

Just my opinion.

Your hypocrisy really is astounding! Just my opinion, lol.

cassie

I wouldn't expect a whimsical and superficial soul like you to appreciate the difference.

Smidgey's opinion that nationalism is "worshipping the ground you were born on" puts your claim to English nationalism somewhat in question, but I suppose you're too dim to have picked that up! Just my opinion, lol.
