Nah even though Rumsfeld is out of work he said the job was beyond him , we even tried to temp Arnie Shwarts, but my pick would have been Mr 9/11 Rudy G but he wanted to come with his ex police chief immigration blocked him because of his criminal record, is the Scooter available?

I'm still hopeful for Brown, though, although it doesn't look good.
Only local government. ...yawn

Unfortunately, it ain't

By the way, Tito was everything except a Croat! He was a spy and a mason, who spoke foreign languages better than his "native"...

The story of Croatian origin of Tito was invented.

Schwarzenegger speaks English better than Tito spoke Serbo-Croatian

Yes the Tories in England and Wales gave nuLabour a good old-fashioned mid-term local-election spanking; one of the biggest in 40 years.

This kind of thing isn't unusual in UK politics - and the party in power has on many occassions after suffering a disasterous local election defeat, turned the polls around, come the General election time.

The advantage the ruling Party has in the UK is that it sets the date for the General election (within a set timeframe) This allows them to pick the time that best suites them.

So Brown and nuLabour have uptop 2 years before they must call the election, they will be praying for an upturn in World econmics and may have to back down on some tax hikes.


Brown is an old-school christian-socialist son of a Church of Scotland minister.

Browns loss at the next election will not only prove that labour is incompetent, but that, until an englishman can influence what happens politically in scotland, scots are incompetent politicians.

Boris Johnson, xenophobic?? Are we talking about the same Boris Johnson who once called for more eastern culture in Britain? Who has just taken a job as major in which there is more immigration than anywhere else in the U.K, the fact that he was elected for said job (given the 44% i'm sure there were some of which that have moved into the country), the same boris johnson who does in fact have turkish and german blood in him??

And I don't recall any political 'old style bigots' ever having the guts the broadcast themselves on shows such as have i got news for you, in which two of the wittiest people in television have a job of tearing into anyone else on the show, no, it's a pretty new concept for any politician. Are you just randomly word associating- I'll have a go, jeffrey archer- r'n'b music lover.

Any old style in boris is merely blended with new ideas in a formula that will hopefully improve the city of london and I for one wish him the best of luck for a term that by the way he hasn't even started yet.

I see from your post - that you are a very ignorant person

In exchange, all you have to do is send us Billie Piper.


Seems a reasonable trade to me.
