Liz – I want a strong opposition to the government and not one that is run by the national media in this country.
Because, pre-Cameron, the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats were useless and it took the likes of the Daily Mail to challenge the government and it shouldn’t be like that.
No one ever elected the editor of a national newspaper to act as the official opposition but that’s what happened. And that is why I am so critical of Labour on this blog and their seeming inability to understand what the electorate told them May 6.
I am not starstruck by any politician from any party and I just do not like dishonesty or hypocrisy by anyone irrespective of who they are…

Anon – I agree with you whole heartedly re the media (God this is getting scary!!).
We should not be afraid or timid about challenging their populist views esp ones trotted out by the likes of The Daily Express/Daily Mail (otherwise known as The Daily Hell/Hate).
