He may be a bit of a tit but he's pretty much bang on the money there. Of course the Mailite would argue that is a direct result of the erosion of Christian values blah blah, wilfully ignoring the fact that marriage (and a bit of extra-curricular horizontal jogging) is far older than Christianity itself.

Guildford woman just spoke in favour of re-nationalisation of the railways AND keeping the NHS. :shock:

A pretty large number of people in Cities of London and Westminster would support those positions too.

It's a bit off that the gender equality question is the final, rushed question isn't it?

Hahahahaha, DM Churnalist again talking bullshit.

"We have gender equality"
"Childcare, childcare, childcare" - What about women WITHOUT children?

I should explain, I lived in Guildford from the age of 12 - 22, it was very solidly Tory and a very lonely place to be a young socialist. I still carry those scars.

I should explain. Sarcasm! :D

Kinda guessed it was a Tory area.

Best QT in ages - hissable Tory, clueless DM columnist, Will Self channeling Peter Cook and the audience giving the government and right wing panelists a pasting.

This has quite made my night, especially when Pickles tried taking on Self in a battle of wits, which wasn't a smart idea.

Agreed. Far from the car-crash that was predicted, and I was glad to hear Pickles actually argue for gay marriage.

They managed to lose the seat in 2001, incredibly.

Maybe they were bright enough to notice the election wasn't actually a referendum on the pound.

That's not surprising really. They've belatedly realised what an easy issue it is. No need to give up any power or anything.

But credit to them anyway.

I wasn't being sarcastic and didn't mean to be patronising.
It's just my animosity for the place is personal.
