Has Michael Crick selected the Tory Candidate for Battersea?

It would not surprise me at all to find out that the tory party's new "open selection" system for candidates has resulted in Labour activists deciding who the Tory candidate is (see Recess Monkey).

I would be more surprised if Michael Crick had managed to be one of the 300 voters as they should be able to recognise him.

Still if you allow the Labour Party to select the Tory Candidates that is one way of making the Tories the same as Labour.

Or you could go to Aberdeen where the Lib Dems and Tories are nearly as tight together as Birmingham's Tories and their Lib Dem puppies. See: http://ridiculouspolitics.blogspot.com/2006/10/lib-dem-says-you-may-as-well-vote-tory_05.html

What a ridiculous comment from Bob Piper. John was writing about the open selection the Tories were holding, and Mr Piper shows a complete lack of knowledge and chooses to compare chalk with cheese.

Or you could go to Iraq where you can see how aligned the Labour government is with the US neo-cons.
Bob,if your application to join the Communist Party isn't in the royalmail it should be!

norfolk blogger... John was saying it "is one way of making the Tories the same as Labour" all I was doing was pointing out that there are other ways of being the same as the Tories... I don't think that is chalk and cheese at all, and if you can deduce 'a complete lack of knowledge' from that you are clearly barking.

manfarang... oh no, not the spectre of communism. Pathetic.

Six months for recording a court hearing - Norman Scarth

The link is in Russian about the imprisonment of Norman Scarth who is actually 85. He has a complex history including a court hearing which found that he used a chainsaw to fight off bailiffs when he was 75. [a court judgment which is disputed see comments] However, that does not justify imprisoning him for 6 months for recording a court hearing (see the link and ask google to translate it if your Russian is not up to it). It has got into the Argyll News Because he has been held such that people cannot get to him to sign paperwork an application for a writ of Habeas Corpus was made today. This has been adjourned until next week. The English judicial system is really not good at responding to major abuses of human rights by the judicial system.
