July 20th, 2008 10:02pmWhy all the secret visits?
Could it be connected with the unions?
They are still strong up here and can have a huge influence on a workforce feeling insecure in this current financial climate.
Perish the thought, but could Labour be buying votes, again?

July 20th, 2008 11:03pmOut of interest, if Campbell is brokering agreements between the Unions and Downing St, is it traceable and accountable?
Just a thought?

July 20th, 2008 11:55pmFraser this is way off topic but it has something to do with the upcoming by election. Much is made about the fact that the Tory advance stops at the border and how Cameron does not resonate north of the border but I wonder does Clegg. Whilst you lot are always banging on about how Scots don't like a Tory Toff little has been said about Nick Clegg. What is support for him like in Scotland? Does he 'resonate'? After all he is Cameron lite and a English Public school boy. I would like to know your thoughts on this.

July 21st, 2008 9:31amI just tried the link. Google says 'We could not understand the location g75 oqz'. I have to admit, neither can I.
But anywhere where Campbell manifests himself should be regarded as Mars - the planet, not the deep-fried sweetmeat so beloved of the inhabitants, of course.

'...Why all the secret visits?...'
Because that's the ZaNuLabour way.
Shady deals in dark corners by dodgy characters.
VIVA ZIMBRITWE!

Ah yes! How could it ever have slipped my memory? Once tasted never forgotten - to my chagrin.
And whilst we're at it I think I'll try some of that Guacamole dip....
