The Vote is under way!

So that means Galloway loses his seat?

Thanks Ivan

He already lost his old seat. He's running in a new constituency.

On ITV Tony Benn just said Margaret Thatcher's greatest achievement was New Labour

[MadIvan]

Nobody brought up the courage of your troops. I brought up the shake stance of your public in placing those troops in a location where they were needed. Your "spitting on the graves" comment was asinine.

You decided to urinate on this thread, uninvited - saying it doesn't matter - totally disregarding the UK as an ally and partner. You are spitting on the blood our troops shed by acting so contemptuously.

2) Read "Army At Dawn". Let's just say that the Yanks were not too well regarded in the early war years by the British General Staff

Uh huh, you were saying you spoke to people now. Let's hear it. Put up or shut up. I should point out that during World War II, "Vinegar" Joe Stilwell didn't treat his British counterparts with much courtesy.

British public opinion may not be as dim towards the US as it is in France or germany, but it's getting there:

I see. One poll is enough to derail, in your opinion, the Special Relationship. What rubbish.

And you have the nerve to call me asinine. Look in the mirror if you want to see the photo that should go along with the word.

vacation : )))

I just got back from Disney what a riot : )

Fox tv was saying that Kerry's team went over to Britain and said that Blair hadn't lied, that there were WMD's in Iraq, and that going to war had been the right thing. Uh, over here, they said the opposite. Spin, spin, spin.

One word, Treason.

[colorado tanker]

Ivan, if the BBC is correct that Labour will bring in a 60-70 vote majority, is that enough to save Blair's premiership or will Labour want to throw him over for Brown right away?

[Mo1]

Thanks for the link!

[Dog]

You tell him Ivan...

[MadIvan]

One thing to keep watch on in Bethnal Green and Bow is the Lib Dem - the candidate there this time is much stronger than last time: the Lib Dems had the bright idea to choose a local boy. If he steals votes, if Respect steals votes, the split could be enough to let the Tory in.

Regards, Ivan

Labour

[PhiKapMom]

Just reporting that Labour is facing problems in Wales. She is saying that Labour is going to have a long night.

[Mo1]

I'm new to the British elections

Me too

On Sky News they are talking about decapitation of campaign and something about pigs flying .. *L*

[MadIvan]

Labour may also have difficulties in Scotland - SNP, Lib Dems and Tories hard on their heels.

Regards, Ivan

[PhiKapMom]

Looks like the Liberal Dems are beating some of the Labour candidates in Wales -- the Labour candidates seem to be in tight races.
