Desperate Measures

[poliphilo]

The Lib Dems swept by this morning with the lowest piece of campaign literature I've seen yet.  Clearly run off at the last minute- in smudgy black and white on cheap paper-  it whores for the Asian vote by pointing out that the Labour candidate is a friend of israel and their guy (who used to work for a Saudi sheik) isn't.  Borderline anti-semitic, I'd say.

Shortly afterwards the Tories came down the street with a loud speaker van. I don't know what the point of those things is. You can never hear a word that's being said.

True, but he didn't press home his argument -- when Camerone was talking about "waste", replacing it isd surely a prime example of it. Perhaps its a holy cow rather than an elephant.

The nuclear deterrent is what keeps us at the high table with the big boys. It would be a fearless politician who decided to scrap it altogether.
