    Ha ha ha ha - I do have some nostalgia for those old style sleazy Tories

    The only promise Cecil Parkinson ever kept - never to see his daughter - Telegraph

    but they often didn't go until pushed - it took Parky 4 months after first telling Thatcher - and he kept on making comebacks like Mandy.

    It's a good job they're not running the country.

    I was disappointed after 6 months. They did almost nothing. There only plan to deal with the debt is to inflate it away. They have done nothing to generate growth.

    The UK can compete with Asia given a chance.

    I've been wondering how many other letters Cameron has been signing off with LOL. LOL.

    Dear Merkel, Hope the Euro works out. LOL.

    Dear Obama. I look forward to the continuance of our special relationship. LOL.

    Dear Public, We will reward those who do the right thing. LOL.

    Dear X, My heartfelt condolences over your recent bereavement. LOL

    Dear X, I'm sorry if I inadvertently offended you in my last letter, please accept my sincere and unreserved apologies. LOL.
    Ah! The good old deflection technique. I thought the idea was to be better than the others not as bad as them?

    Labour, under Bliar anyway, were just as bad. Only reason this did not go on with Brown is that nobody in their right minds would want to be friendly or seek influence with that useless, ugly, charmless, snot-eating pusbag. Even Obummer had the sense to totally ignore him.

    Just did a quick Google for the heck of it and there's a website dedicated to it. Seems Labour got cracking right away.
