I still have this crazy theory that no-one really wants to win this election because whoever gets in will have such nasty decisions to make.

The Lib Dems winning could be the making or breaking of them; if they get in and make teh tough decisions I’m afraid that they’ll get hammered for it and will never be trusted in power again.

I’d like to see a Government of National unity – not sure whether it’s constitutionally possible but at least that way ALL the parties would get it equally in the neck.

Hung Parliament? It’ll probably happen, but really I want a Lib Dem majority on Thursday, won’t happen though, too many Tory supporters who think the sun shines out of David Cameron’s arse.

Comment on Installing PEAR packages on WAMP by Joe

Hi Luke,

From what you’ve posted I can’t see anything that’s immediately wrong, BUT it may be worth while checking that the php.ini file that you’ve modified is actually the oine being used by PHP. Run a script with phpinfo() in it to get a list of the settings for PHP and check that the path is what you’ve entered.

If it isn’t, then look for other PHP.INI files in your wamp installation and find teh one being used.

Comment on Mrs Duffy, the PM, and what politicians REALLY think of the voter… by Joe

Actually, Mrs Duffy expresses a set of beliefs common – if not universal – to a couple of generations of Labour Voters. When I used to canvas and campaign for Labour, these were teh issues on the doorstep 15 years ago in most working class communities – the so called Labour heartlands.

Since about 1983 there has always been a major difference between what Labour Party Aparatchiks THINK that their supporters want, as opposed to what their supporters DO want. We’ve seen this emphasised in the last few years on issues like immigration, the war on Iraq, etc. It’s nothing new – even back in the 1930s George Orwell was commenting on the differences between the concerns of the working class and what the intellectual left thought the concerns of the working classes SHOULD be.

No easy answers – only what I’ve been saying for well over a year now that the true views of ‘old Labour’ supporters are the elephant in the corner for New Labour.

And Mandy….oh yuck…give the bloke a cape and he’d make an excellent silver-screen Dracula! Horrible, slimey man!

Storm in a teacup; good old Sky – what a gift. The things that struck me about this story (and I agree with all you say, btw) were a) the deification of dear sweet Mrs Duffy – she may rant about immigrants flocking to take our jobs, but look, she’s a widow, she used to work with disabled children, etc etc, salt of the earth, wouldn’t harm a fly, blah. I’m surprised they couldn’t dig out a relative in the forces. And b) who gets to say most on this? Is it Gordy? Is it Mrs Duffy? No, surprise surprise, it’s our very own, twice-dismissed, unelected business secretary, Lord Mandelson. Need oil to pour on troubled waters? Here’s your ever-present oil(y)man. If Labour promised world peace and chocolate, I still wouldn’t vote for them until this noxious stain is scrubbed from office.
