only joking. labour has go to have a long hard look at itself though. crowning miliband won’t do it. what actually is labour for? is it for clause 4? is it for civil livberties (no)? fiscal responsibility (no)? the working class (hahaha!)?

“On postal vote fraud, on all electoral fraud, anyone involved, and I mean anyone, should be charged. Any insinuation that such practice is in any way supported is just plain wrong.”

what? just wrong or morally wrong? or you just don’t like it? everyone knows postal voting was shooed in coz it would help Labour. almost all voting ‘irregularities’ are from labour. what they did in Birmingham ‘would have shamed a banana republic’

but with the left, the end always justifies the means which is why socialism killed so many people

Ian Graham – those stats do add up, and they show that the Tories’ poor performance in Scotland cost them.

??
I don’t understand what this is trying to say. The Tories are a minority presence, to put it mildly, in both Wales and Scotland ?
