durhamjen Tue 28-Apr-15 20:48:49

No fun then, NotTooOld.

NotTooOld Tue 28-Apr-15 20:46:02

Now, now, gransnetters! Leave the falling out to the politicians.

durhamjen Tue 28-Apr-15 16:34:47

At least I did not pick you up on the fact that Farage does not talk sense.

magpie123 Tue 28-Apr-15 16:28:25

durhamjen don't be so picky

NotTooOld Tue 28-Apr-15 11:43:29

Tony Blair? smile

durhamjen Mon 27-Apr-15 21:57:19

As GT said, Caroline Lucas is bright, articulate and principled.
I am sure she will not mind me repeating it.

NotTooOld Mon 27-Apr-15 21:49:59

Tony Blair?

Caroline Lucas?

Good grief.

Why?

confused

rosequartz Mon 27-Apr-15 20:27:55

Ah, I didn't know it meant re-elected as a continuation of this parliament - technically he could be re-elected as he was an MP previously, but there has been a gap in between.

George Osbourne - a brilliant chancellor.

Charleygirl Mon 27-Apr-15 20:19:19

rosequartz he is fighting for Uxbridge and South Ruislip, the constituency next to mine in west London.

durhamjen Mon 27-Apr-15 20:16:25

But again he cannot be re-elected as he wasn't an MP in the last parliament. It'll be a safe seat, wherever it is, and in London.

Pat Glass - knowledgeable about education.

rosequartz Mon 27-Apr-15 19:45:03

I picked Boris because he would
Liven Things Up

(I am not in the constituency where he is standing anyway, wherever that might be)

trisher Mon 27-Apr-15 19:01:32

Catherine Mckinnell dedicated, effective, listens

rosequartz Mon 27-Apr-15 18:40:31

^Tony Blair
1.He was a genuine human being
2. He truly cared about the people of Britain^

shock well you learn something new every day, I never realised!! (I didn't even realise that he was human! grin)

Boris Johnson - What the Hell wink

Lona Mon 27-Apr-15 18:14:48

Indeed djen!
In his favour,I often see him walking down the road as he is a frequent visitor to the area, and he does support local causes and so he should.
I think he probably appeals to the Cheshire matrons.

durhamjen Mon 27-Apr-15 16:18:39

Shame the NHA couldn't find anyone to stand against him, Lona.

Lona Mon 27-Apr-15 16:11:48

Nick Clegg............ a slow burner.

George Osborne is my mp.
nellie I'm not posh or married to a footballer thank goodness, so I must be in with the gangsters! grin

Teetime. -grin

Teetime Mon 27-Apr-15 15:45:44

Well we have Alan Duncan and there is no hope that he wont get back in here well a mnkey with a blue rosette would get in. How to describe the lovely Sir Alan- absent, arrogant, a***hole.

durhamjen Mon 27-Apr-15 14:32:16

With you on that, grumppa.

grumppa Mon 27-Apr-15 13:33:44

NF can't be re-elected till he's been elected an MP in the first place, which heaven forbid!

durhamjen Mon 27-Apr-15 13:32:38

Nigel Farage cannot get re-elected, though, can he, magpie?
