Labour Candidate for Bristol East
Trolls have decamped to Twitter...

Labour Candidate for Bristol East
A Future Fair for All
My blog = my rules!
As Monica says in Friends, "rules are good, rules help control the fun!"
First: if you're after a detailed response, please email or write to me. If you're a constituent (or perhaps a very special case), I'll respond; if you're not, you'll have to contact your own MP. Ditto if you want to introduce a subject which bears no relevance to my original post.
Second: I don't have a problem with trenchant criticism of me or the Government, or vociferously expressed opinions, but if I regard your comments as offensive I won't allow them to appear. (I don't like having to moderate comments, but have reluctantly come to the conclusion that people cannot be relied upon not to abuse my good nature!)

Thirdly: I might just randomly delete comments from certain people because I'm getting thoroughly fed up with them and want them to go away and annoy someone else for a while. You know who you are.
That's all - although I reserve the right to create new rules as and when I feel like it. My blog = my rules!From under the floorboards

We will all be singing it when you lot lose the next election, assuming the dear leader doesn't declare a state of emergency and abolish elections. He certainly doesn't like standing in them, does he? A neutral might think he was lacking in moral fibre or dodging the column.
Let's see... 5 labour governments since your party started... 5 runs on the pound... unemployment higher than when you came into office. There seems to be a pattern at work here! Why does Labour pee away all the cash?
Why are you pretending to be a fan of Leonard Cohen but then encouraging people to buy an inferior cover version of his song? Alexandra is a better singer than you are an MP, in fact, Chico is a better singer than you are an MP. You ghastly snob.
Why do they not use some of their vast profits to hire writers for the "Winners Song"... I feel cheated when they do this, especially when the original version is so beautiful.
Boyzone are also on my whinge list, they have murdered many a perfect original, Alison Krauss´s "When You Say Nothing At All" was stunning and now they have covered Tom Baxter´s "Better", yet another sickly-slick production.
I say Geraldine for Christmas No.1 !!
Chico is also a better singer than I am.
I do like Leonard Cohen, (tho' I wasn't amongst the hordes of MPs who saw him on his recent tour, which included Alistair Darling who's a big fan) but he's not really in the race this time is he? And Jeff Buckley is better looking! (Joke)
Alexandra obviously has a good voice but I hate it when people cover songs without 'getting' the real meaning. Like REM's The One I Love being dedicated to people on Valentine's Day.
And if you're slagging off Ronan Keating, surely you can't omit his version of 'Fairytale of New York'? When he couldn't bring himself to 'Happy Christmas your arse'?
I wish you hadn´t enlightened me to the Ronan butchering of Fairytale.. I had to youtube it to believe you, poor Kirsty deserved so much better, God bless her sweet soul.
Sebastian and classisms, stick to the subject matter or blog elsewhere, you´re ruining a potentially entertaining debate with all your nonsense.
(Kerry, please stick to the day job!)
Ronan Keating did 'Fairytale of New York'? Good grief. The man's as dangerous as soup.
I hate it when people cover songs without 'getting' the real meaning. For a long time, if not still, the unofficial anthem of New Jersey was a song about leaving New Jersey because is was an S-hole- Springsteen's Born To Run.
And didn't George Bush misappropriate Born in the USA?
