Boris.

Doesn't a Uruguayan go against the whole idea of the BNP?

The southern cone of Latin America is treated very favorably by "white nationalists" in Europe.

What's much more amusing about that particular candidate is that he's a Falklands Vet. Who fought for Argentina.

I didn't know this. Most amusing factoid about a candidate i've read in a while.

I can see it now: "RESPECT OUR TROOPS! ah, uh... hang on."

I see. I too like the southern cone.

I haven't read the article, but I firmly support Simfan's efforts to blame Lena Dunham for our society's rot.

Simfan, your standards are impossible to meet. You can't have a girl who is also a large fireplace.

Frozen out of focus, the sunday crowd started dreaming of television turned up too loud. And coded conversations, half baked and tired, Left us sleepy on blacktops burning the motor mile. And underneath the arcade, details collide. There's good shopping, but all those patrons have too much style...

I don't know how anyone who calls themselves a "liberal moderate", or "center left" could reasonably prefer Ken, even in the 2nd round. He is as far left wing as you can get before you fall off the democratic part of the political spectrum. Boris has progressive views on Migration and is a civil libertarian who regrets Iraq. He also has an half-Iranian wife which should go some way to disproving the allegations of racism he has had to put up with.

Indeed. Wow....as I'm typing this, the results of the Tory leadership election are in....Thatcher - 204, Heseltine - 152....not enough for Thatcher to win outright!

I was actually making a joke about 1992. Will we win in 3 years time? I think we have a strong chance, given that there are 3 years to go. A bad month is a bad month.

So when can results be expected?

I've lost interest in the forum and I've wasted far too much time here.

To those I consider forum friends, it's been nice and I hope to keep contact in some form.

Cheers.
