- How the BNP could save British politics
Disclaimer: The BNP are a pernicious bunch of racist bigots and Nick Griffin may well be intellectually sub-normal, so when I say they might be good for British politics, I’m absolutely not, in anyway whatsoever, condoning their views. (Do I need to be any clearer?)
I’m going to be out this evening so I won’t be [...]
- Why we let the BNP in
In the run up to the elections, a well heeled stampede of worthy liberals charged out of parliament and left the door wide open for the BNP.
Perhaps a better way to put it is to say this, if you ostracise someone from a system, then trash the system, don’t be surprised if some people start [...]
- Cameron should pat brown on the head and move on…
Just seen this post over on Stuart Bruce’s blog in which he touches on the continuing row over McBride-gate (or is it email-gate? Surely it’s a gate by now.)
I agree with Stuart when he says the row has on on too long, in fact I thought it had gone on too long by Tuesday and [...]
- I’m not David Davis’ Son
Over the last few weeks I’ve been appearing on an ITV regional show called Last Orders. It’s a political chat show which juxtaposes studio interviews with Politicians with comment from normal people (I’m one of the normal people.)
Anyway, last night the programme aired with David Davis, Ed Milliband and Nick Clegg being interviewed in the [...]
- This is the world we live in
If anyone needed an example of quite how drastically PR has changed since web 2.0 got its teeth into it, this weekend has provided plenty.
Screw print deadlines, gone are the days when you could prevaricate your way out of a news cycle. Danny Finklestein and Con Home were broadcasting the news of the election that wasn’t [...]
- Cameron’s speech was brilliant, end of.
Just watched David Cameron’s speech to conference and already a quick scan of a few blogs reveals that some people are beginning to focus on the “traditional tory - Europe and immigration” aspects of it. Can I just point out that in a speech that was well over an hour long, (closer to an hour [...]

Turns out the BBC are also running the story here. I have also started a facebook group in the hope that a spontaneous outpouring of support might persuade Boris to run. Join here (Login Required).

- Boris Johnson for Mayor of London
I picked a post up from Iain Dale’s blog and all of a sudden got quite excited.
According to Iain, Cameron is trying to persuade Boris Johnson to run for Mayor of London. Please please let it be true.
As an aside, both borisformayor.com and .co.uk have recently been registered through 123reg.com, it’s one of the things I’d [...]
- New blogs and a thing about facebook
Eclectic post this. Firstly, two new blogs that I’ve started to read. The friendly ghost is in the PR / Marketing / SEO / general thoughtful insight mould and (though I’m coming a bit late to this particular party) has some genuinely interesting content, in particular a post of SEO keywords.
Secondly, good friend Alan Lamb, now councilor [...]
