I noticed Brown soon got back to no10 and bolted the door, before an eastern european immigrant took up squating rights no doubt!

Just wondering how many Eastern European squatters you have in your part of the Cotswolds?

If you cannot spell well enough, cannot use grammar well enough and cannot paragraph well enough you will not make a 'C' grade let alone an A*. The criteria is quite specific about what is required. In fact, a student won't even be entered for the 'Higher Tier' which gives access to the B, A and A* grades if they cannot do these things...they would sit the 'Foundation Tier' paper which has a ceiling of a grade 'C'.

Now reality sets in, strangling bond take up, with interest rates therein spiralling as the financial world reflects it's extraneous opinion. Bit like a force 4 Hurricane after a shower!

Maybe Cameron will let Brown/Postman Pat, whoever, form a Lab/Lib pact and defer trying to cobble together an amorphous mass of Nationalists, Bin-liner woman and others! The rowing, jousting and misery, whilst the pot boils over should be Brown's sole right to inherit. Clegg may be sensible and stay out of it. Another period of Harriet Harperson's patronising platitudes would almost be worth it, to savour Brown's terminal humiliation.

Those who have been here before, (74 and 77) cannot blame the inexperienced, who believe equalisation will solve everything. Inevitably they'll be a re-election, post a huge binge of borrowing and 'quantitative easing', the new name for printing money.

Are they as bad as each other? All parties have benefits and drawbacks within the obfuscated quagmires of their manifesto's. Unfortunately Socialists seem incapable of separating Government from the general Economy. The Conservatives these days, essentially Moneytarists, overlook the vital impact that long-term State underfunding costs, in such vital areas as Welfare, Education and social controls such as the police etc.

Labour like their communist cousins from yesteryear want the centre to dominate the periphery, where control and the need to know becomes the aim within itself, as exponential creation of ID cards, H&S legislation, Quango's, et al demonstrate.

Liberals, are full-blown Europeans, and had we been in the €uro now, we could have been up against the wall like the Greeks. Their profligate unfettered borrowing from the Haveasmuchasulike Bank of Brussels has been more akin to a teenage girl with an unlimited credit card, than a sovereign nation. How much of their equity is real, and what about Spain, Portugal, Ireland etc.

Will bail-outs melt the beloved €uro, as Central banking embraces Mediterranean sub-prime?

That said Liberals present real ambivalence. Probably the best Financial Brain of the lot in Vince Cable, but a leader whose qualities seem more akin to a Scout leader, than the gravitas needed for a National figure. Cable would have had to restrain Clegg and others, with expensive, loosely costed, windmill carpeting policies. Still with them we wouldn't have been wasting money on Trident and stage 2 of the Euro fighter. Those alone will cost over £150 bln and they don't even get on the table for payment until after 2015!

The Tories may be more likely to try and address the creeping grip of the EU and to act upon untrammeled immigration, a real issue this time round with the Electorate.

One day the UK will recognise it's position as a minor inconclusive European country, more in common with an overcrowded Belgium.

For some, whose private pension pots were ransacked by 'The Great Leader' in '97, the sheer schadenfreude of it all gives some recompense.

I'm hearing that it's very likely that we will be going to the polls again within the year to do it all over again

What is the idea of this ? Surely the same result is likely within such a short space of time.

Who actually calls another election?

Can someone explain?
