I was going to do a Batman post today, but I’ve got annoyed again, so you’ll have to wait. Specifically, I got annoyed by this , something that’s been going round on the internet for a few days. It calls itself The Periodic Table Of Irrational Nonsense, but it is itself nonsense at least as [...]

Too furious to blog about what I was going to, anyway. Two things have made me annoyed – one that matters, in the grand scheme of things, and one that doesn’t. The one that matters is that the coalition government has voted that detention without charge for 28 days will be extended for another six [...]

Proper posts tomorrow (on Morrison Batman) and Sunday (on Doctor Who) if possible, but I’ve got a busy weekend ahead of me (got to work from home to keep to a deadline, and also going to a gig tomorrow night). Meanwhile, some links: Zom at the Mindless Ones is doing an alphabetical look at all [...]

I’ve noticed a rather worrying trend at the moment for Liberal Democrats to treat the Tories as our friends, since we went into coalition with them. People praising Cameron’s performance at Prime Minister’s Questions and so on. Some are even talking about how at the next election we should campaign on the basis of a [...]

A proper post *will* come tonight, but I had to say something about this. Gerald Kaufman, my local MP, alleged in the Commons yesterday that Qassim Afzal, our parliamentary candidate in Manchester Gorton, for whom I voted and campaigned, went around personally telling Muslim voters not to vote for Kaufman because he’s Jewish. Those allegations [...]

http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2010/may/11/general-election-2010-live-blog Then it looks like the new coalition government will essentially be adopting the Lib Dem manifesto in almost its entirety. I don’t like the Tory welfare ‘reforms’ one bit, and will campaign against them. Likewise I think immigration caps a disgrace, and my main priority over the coming months is to change Lib Dem [...]

My wife is a member of the Liberal Democrats. She’s also an immigrant, and was upset that she didn’t get to vote in this election. The rumour is that party members are going to get balloted on whatever deal has been agreed. If so, my immigrant wife will get far more of say with her [...]

For those three people who don’t yet know, the Labour party refused to make any concessions to form a coalition with the Liberal Democrats. As a result, the Lib Dems were left with the choices of either a Conservative minority government or forming a coalition with the Conservatives. One or other has happened and now [...]

Sound the call for freedom boys, and sound it far and wide, March along to victory, for God is on our side, While the voice of nature thunders o’er the rising tide: “God gave the land to the people.” The land, the land, ‘Twas God who made the land, The land, the land, The ground [...]

I can’t speak for what happened nationally, but I think my experiences on election day might be useful in determining what happened. Fundamentally, I think the Clegg surge *did* happen, but was drowned out by the larger turnout, and a squeeze message. And it was a surge we wouldn’t expect. Normally, a truism in politics [...]
