Delivering FOCUS in Ham ward today, I’ve noticed how many empty properties there are. It’s quite shocking and reminds me of when I was delivering in the North Beaumont in 1993-5, and every-other house had been repossessed. I think the upcoming recession is going to be deeper than even I imagined it was going to be, which is sad and going to cause a lot of pain.

Gordy didn’t thing that the ‘boom’ was a boom, he thought it was his ‘stability’ and that he’d beaten the natural economic cycle, well we’re all going to pay for Gordy’s ego now.

It’s interesting to see the latest polls http://ukpollingreport.co.uk/guide/ we’re up a bit on when the 10pence tax thing was going on, which is weird!! 

David Davis – I have never had much time for him before and I disagree with most of what he says but I have to admire the bloke for giving-up an almost certain job in the next Conservative government to fight for what he (and many other good people) believe passionately in, good luck to him!  

European Treaty – I am a pro-european but the Irish have rejected it, so in my opinion, the Lisbon treaty should be abandoned and we should struggle on as we have done for the past four years, but further expansion of the EU should be out of the question now.

Things just seem to be getting worse and worse for poor old Gordy, I bet he wished he’d called a general election back in October! I’ve never seen a national leader go so quickly from ‘hero to zero’. Of course, poll ratings are not his only problem, the Labour party is near to insolvency and the senior officers of the party could be personally liable.

I have a solution to their problems make Tony Blair pay off the debt! after all, it seems that he’s the only person in the country to have personally benefited from Newlabour and he’s not short of a bob or two, while the rest of us work 60 hours a week just to pay our electricity bills. I know if I was a member of the Labour party, I would feel quite bitter about Bliar walking-off and leaving it all like that!
