Went and met the candidates today
I See Charley in Deal, first time I have met him .
I fund him to be approachable even though he still considers me to be in the enemy UKIP camp? Surprised me a bit.
I gave him my concerns over the EU deal.
I said to him I was concerned that the money men in the City of London would be given a free hand to conduct business in the free market at the expense of free moment and all the rest?
He assured me that, this is not the conservative party master plan
He seemed Genuine, and I was set a bit more at ease with that?
time will only tell. I don’t think he’s that bad, as a working MP.
So I trundled of two Dover to see the Labour party candidate.
At first I was engaged by one of the party top dogs monitoring the street stall very nice Scottish lady , we had a good chat, and it did get a bit rattled, When we got onto immigration and open borders, I could see I would get knower with the International Socialists side of her, so I moved on to the candidate Stacy.
Very nice lady and she wanted to listen to me, so that was a start.
We covered the issues and she identified and admitted that the London middle-class Labour Party have a big problem with the views of the rest of the working class.
Then a man one of the party’s greasy flunky’s from head office started to try to get her out of the conversation,,, And fair play to Stacy she f…him of out of it,,, and kept debating with me for some time, so that was refreshing. I think party’s sell candidates short when they try to over control them
The flunky kept hovering and I could feel my self getting ready to clip the greasy fu….er..,, lol,, so I said my goodbyes and left.
I couldn’t even bother with the Libs. Faron just make me want to brick my TV,, lol,,

One of Ms Blair's little helpers came knocking on my door yesterday. She was not from the district.
I suggested, half tongue in cheek, that Corbyn was a front for those hoping to overthrow capitalism.
She said 'and what's wrong with that'.
I pointed out that socialism had killed millions over the years whereas capitalism had brought more people out of poverty worldwide over the past 20 years than foreign aid ever had.
She said socialism had never been tried properly and I should be thinking more of Cuba than Russia.
I explained that my daughter had been in Cuba last month and told her that Cubans are rejoicing in the fact the Raul Castro is starting to introduce a market economy and people can start to improve their lot.
Perhaps she marked me down as a 'possible'?

Bob
Most of the older labour party grass roots are good people just looking for some social justice.
They just get lost to a party machine that has changed away from its core voters and become the liberal party.
The conservative party needs to evolve away from the Thatcher madness and become a more caring responsible party, les greed more feed… THAT’S dinosaurs like you out Bob.
I think Cameron tried to push it that way but the EU problem and spin killed him of.

Looks like you are getting the person and the persona muddled up again Keith. Easily done!
Back to the candidates. I didn't realise that 'our' Charlie was the product of the public school system. Perhaps this explains his obsession with 'stronger boarders'? Each to his own as they say!

Hmmmm. I couldn't decide between Statler and Waldorf, or Hinge and Bracket!
Just because you don't take an interest in politics doesn't mean that politics won't take an interest in you. PERICLES.
