Christmas Tory Love
Filed Under Uncategorized | 2 Comments
I’m all for a bit of love at Christmas and there’s a lot to be said for looking after your activists but Jesus I have received more Christmas cards from the Conservative party than anyone else!!!
Admittedly, few of my friends/people my age bother with real-life-non-email-non-text-in-the-flesh Christmas cards but 3 cards is a tad excessive perhaps??

Lowering interest rates, lending more money… SURELY this is where we went wrong before?
Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
I’m no economist and I know there’s the theory that if consumption is raised then AD will go up and we will start growing again etc etc…. but I can’t help but think this recession, credit crunch, whatever it is you want to call it really just symbolizes everything I despise about modern British culture, [...]

In 2 days I head off to the Caribbean to escape the cold and crazyness and so unwillingly and for the first time in a couple of months ventured into a bikini and to my scales. What followed has terrified me.
My weakness in life is soaps and occasionally when hollyoaks, eastenders or coronation street aren’t [...]

Cameron’s Children
Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
I was invited to a group the other day called Cameron’s Children by (soon to be Dr?) John Moorcraft. It refers to the great deal of reserach he has done into the workings and politics of CF and shall be published early next year; I really am rather excited about reading this.
I’m finding my disseration [...]

Sorry Gordon

I hear Gordon sent JLS letters backing them for the X factor. Yes. In these times of financial crazyness our beloved Prime Minister is keeping in touch with the youth of today by writing JLS letters of support. Fantastic.
Unfortunately Alexandra won. Should have been Diana. All i can say really.

EUCF Ball
Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
Another great Exeter ball organised by our fantastic social sec Sophie Kelk with the assistance of Tarasyn Whitehead Patey who after I think 3 terms has moved on from that position to general sec.
John Penrose MP gave a great, if a little depressing by the end, speech based on the economic climate and how “New” Labour’s [...]

Last night at an Elmbridge council meeting Tory councillors voted against increases in their spending allowances despite having to go against their leader.
In times of recession I think they did very well, in particular Cllr Rowan Cole, Chairman of Elmbridge CF, who led the opposition.
Cllr Cole said: “This is not just a financial issue. This [...]

DEBATE!! Liveish commentary
Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
I missed the first few minutes and got a few very very weird looks screaming across the gym “Arh we have to go! We need to watch BBC Parliament…!!”
This is all a bit of a mess but tried to catch up. Michael Howard and a few others did very well but it must be said [...]
