Topic: Must private messages be kept private?

[Garp]

I've just had a call from Team GB looking for someone for the Back Peddling event at the 2016 Olympics? Any ideas anyone?

That made me laugh bud. Apart from the obvious, can I nominate all the leaders of the parties contesting the upcoming General Election?

On which point, this is funny if you haven't seen it yet

So it wasn't cheap to produce then; ah well, at least it wasn't my donation they were wasting

Probably cost a lot less than the other parties have spent on their election campaigns, Phil, by some margin.

By the way, I am in no way endorsing the Green Party - just found it amusing

All of which is completely wasted the instant any of them open their mouths.

I used to be Green, when they cared about whaling and so on, but as soon as I detected the slightest whiff that they might want to penalise my use of a 5 1/2 litre AMG Mercedes I was off like a shot !  But more seriously, none of the parties will get my vote -- I loathe and detest the way that none can see any merit in the viewpoints of the other parties, and as soon as one starts banging the party political drum on a Radio 4 programme I shout "Oh for ****'s sake shut up" and switch over to Radio 3 ...

** Phil.

Oops, sorry, this should be in "Off-topic replies"; I will move any follow-up to there.

Its just been on as a party political broadcast for which I switched off as soon as the singing started.
