Off The List

We should put it on posters: "The North East, Even Less Liberal Than Northern Ireland." But why do we have only as many MEPs as they do? We have a far larger population.

Oh, well, as things stand, then the denial of a seat to the Lib Dems in the North East has been the only thing that Change UK has ever achieved. On Sunday night, Blairism died. Although, since not even Alastair Campbell voted for Change UK, then no doubt neither did Tony Blair. Oh, the humiliation.

The strangely popular Simon Henig Watch has therefore been discontinued on here, since we now know exactly how many people believe in the existence of "Labour anti-Semitism". 571,846. Or 3.32 per cent of the total.

Meanwhile, there are now nine candidates to lead the Conservative Party. One for each percent of the vote that it now gets.

Instead of such idle frivolity, there needs to be a publication that combined top quality coverage of popular culture with the provision of a platform for the three partially overlapping political trends that really mattered in Britain today: Brexit, the resurgent economic and foreign policy Left, and Remain. Watch this space.

Beyond that, another hung Parliament is coming, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it. It has become a local commonplace that I am on 30-30-30 with Labour and the Conservatives here at North West Durham, so that any one of us could be the First Past the Post.

I will stand for this seat, if I can raise the £10,000 necessary to mount a serious campaign. Please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
