Wishful Thinker Blair thinks.....

Tony Blair is back! He thinks Labour has "every chance of succeeding" on 6 May. New crystal ball for Tony, please. I can't think what this spivvy ex-politician can do to help Labour. He'll just resurrect memories about how he took us into an illegal war, etc, etc.

News comes that the Charity Commission says it is considering claims that e-mail databases held by Mr Blair's charities have been used to canvass voters. No, not Tony's charities, surely? I don't hold out much hope that the Commission will test his mettle much. It's headed up a New labour luvvie.

Blair says, "I think, once people get back to the question of what does the future really hold for me, is it more of what we have here or is it not, then I think that Labour's got a far better chance." Is he for real? He definitely needs a new crystal ball. If I ever question what the "future really holds for me" I'd volunteer for remedial therapy if the answer came back "VOTE LABOUR!".

SNP fails in BBC debate court bid

It was bound to be. Lady Smith, judge at the Court of Session in Edinburgh, through out the SNP's bid to be in the spotlight. Alex Salmond in a Prime Ministerial Debate? Laughable at best, I'd say.

Scottish Tory campaign manager David McLetchie sums it up rather well. "The SNP knew the UK leaders' debates would get significant press coverage but Alex Salmond waited till now to go to court to ensure maximum coverage during the campaign. His use of the legal process, for what has been no more than a £50,000 SNP campaign stunt, is desperate stuff. The ruling just proves this point."

I hope Salmond puts the £50K in the accounts for the Electoral Commission to peruse!

Tories attack Labour over leaflet 'lies'

Gordon Brown is talking about truth in the leaders' debates but he is also stimied by his recent bout of untruthfulness. He told six lies in six weeks, one of which was a real deception in front of Sir John Chilcott.

Now he is distancing himself from the lies being told about the Conservatives and their welfare policies. Gordon Brown was confronted by a very annoyed David Cameron last night, but he just responded by providing his caninus muscle grin, which I am beginning to see is a cover up for "I've been caught out again!".

Gordon Brown may not have "authorised" the leaflets, but he doesn't seem to want to say that such deceptive electioneering is wrong. Makes a paragon of virtue look decidely amateur in comparison I think. He should try a bit harder in his truthfulness quest.
