Oldham East and Saddleworth by-election

[arden forester]

Who will come bottom of the poll? I guess this may well be an interesting election. I think Elvis may be bottom. Norman Tebbitt wants the LibDems to come fourth. However, that will not necessarily get the Tory in, more likely the Labour woman. Labour definitely doesn't deserve to win.

This could be an acid test for Oldham. How thick are they on a scale of 1 to 10?

10 Vote Labour again and get even more vibrant enrichment.
10 Vote Tory and get even more vibrant enrichment + lose their benefits.
10 Vote Lib Dem and get even more vibrant enrichment + get more lies.
9 Vote UKIP and get no social benefits + slightly less vibrant enrichment
Bar anyone one else.

Completely ridiculous article

Lib Dems Grilled By Friezland Pupils «Saddleworth News

What is this, a pantomime.

'As teacher Lisa Carter looked on, Mr Watkins said the leaflets had made him feel “horrible” and “rotten” and told the pupils that, just as they have school rules, politicians have rules too, and Mr Woolas had broken them.'

The shear hypocrisy of complaining to students about lieing, what's the difference between Phil Woolas lieing and the Lib-Dems lieing about tuition fees and then to talk down to them with those words. What about Gordon Birtwistle MP manhandling a female protestor on TV last week, I think that puts to bed any similarities between school rules and politician rules.
