At 9.00am.<br /><br />Being from a traditional Labour Party home I don't have your SPGB scruples about the election, so there is some disinterest in the next comment; aren't the smug Tories going to have very pained expressions on their faces if there is the Whig/Tory Alliance that is threatened (and supported -if I was able to understand his tortuous prose - by Nick Cohen)? I think it would simply show; First Tory lie of the new Government - Vote Clegg , Get Brown.mikeovswintonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14921482679293649667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6791096.post-28979119049077229102010-05-07T05:14:57.930-04:002010-05-07T05:14:57.930-04:00I know, but I'm just thinking about the looks ...I know, but I'm just thinking about the looks on the faces of the smug Tory bastards in the office Monday morning.
