I don't normally gratuitously insult people I don't agree with - there's more effective methods than that. But this from today's Telegraph (via Guido Fawkes) appealed:
Q: What's the difference between Bernard Madoff and Gordon Brown?
A: One has drained fortunes from gullible victims, plundering their income and savings to create an illusion of prosperity. The other is going to jail.
Another difference: I met Madoff a few times many years ago. He was charming, switched on and positive. His misdemeanour was a genuine surprise. Brown's was obvious from the beginning.
About Me
- John Woodman
- I stood as the Conservative candidate for Lib Dem held Bamburgh Division in the Northumberland County Council elections in 2008. And have stayed involved in the local Conservatives - who for the first time in years had a chance of winning the Berwick upon Tweed seat. We turned it from a safe Lib Dem seat to a marginal, thanks to hard work by the candidate whose election blog is http://trevelyantalks.blogspot.com/ . I'm now having another go at the County Council in the 2013 election.

Misdemeanor? ooh, he's a naughty boy...
...just the tip of the iceberg, I suspect.
Have you seen 'Age of Stupid', yet?
I am interested to hear you opinion on the film, John.

Sarah, I'm ashamed to say I hadn't even heard of it. But it looks interesting and I'll try to catch it. Hopefully the single carriageway bits of the A1 won't slow me down too much.
I did see Slumdog Millioanaire yesterday - may post on that separately but I'd highly recommend it.
Yes, because getting somewhere 5 minutes faster is paramount, John.
