You know, I'm in a real quandry about this. You see, being in Scotland we now have our own parliament and basically the numpties in Edinburh now make all the decisions, with Westminster retaining control over stuff like Social Security, Defense etc. But I still get to vote in this election on issues such as health, education etc in England. Add to that the majority of folks in this particular region still have the "my dad voted for Labour, so I'm voting Labour" mentality.......these people have no thoughts of their own. Personally I would never vote Tory, trust me they are pretty despised up here, and in all honesty I cannot stand Mr Blair. So where does that leave me? it doesn't make a blind bit of difference what I vote because Labour will still win this constituency (reshuffled borders and all) so I have to use my vote tactically, except theres no proportional representation as yet in the General Election, unlike up here where there is a small amount. Voted Green as a protest vote last time and they got a few seats in the Scottish Parliament. Liberal Democrat, SNP or Green, mmmmmmmmmmm You see my problem.

Given those choices I would go with the Greens. At least they have something of a conscience.

Did anyone watch Panarama last night 17th April. Proof that the BBC is now in the Governments back pocket.
Violent crime is actually going down, more and more criminals are being locked up, sentences are getting tougher.
Is anyone really expected to believe this pile of Bull. And it's all just before a general election.
