Mandelson

[Sqad]

Resigned twice from the cabinet due to alleged irregularities, non elected Politician and is now in charge, allegedly, of the country.

Just a comment!!!

[naomi24]

Resigned? Don't you mean booted out?

[Sqad]

dan....LOL

[jake-the-peg]

Lot of allegedles in there squad

Just a comment too.

I don't recall voting for the Queen being head of state - you don't seem to be screaming about that so it doesn't sound as if the "non-elected" bit is as important as the fact that you just don't like Mandelson

Or probably any Labour Politician?

Or have I got you wrong?

Are you about to launch a "Bring back Prescott" campaign?

[jno]

it does seem a bit odd to have an unelected member of the House of Lords nominally in charge of a democratic country (I know there are precedents, and they didn't seem right either).

Not bothered about the queen, though I wouldn't miss her.

Sqad is your typical blustering Tory...no substance!!

[Sqad]

Jake....no you have not got it wrong....you have got it BADLY wrong.

Queen ...we have a Monarchy in the UK and you can change it by voting.....totally different from electing your Political representative.

No I don't like Mandelson.

I liked many Labour politicians...Harold Wilson, Tony Blair, to mention just two, although at the moment I am indeed pushed to think of anyone else.

I admired John Prescott for achieving what he did from an underprivileged up bringing.

Me ? have voted Labour and Tory at different times in my life.

Upbringing? working class.

Not much right eh! jake?

[jno]

you can change the monarchy by voting??

Not in my constituency.

[Rollo]

Isn't he now "The Lord High Everything Else"?

[Sqad]

DKnews...can't understand your post.......is it a statement or a question?.........either way it takes a bit of working out.

jno.....wait until you see the Party agendas and then vote for the party which advocates abolition of the Monarchy.

Looks like there are going to be a lot of vacancies for those jobs next June! Unless most of them are abolished!

I would rather trust Kaa from The Jungle Book than that slithering creep.
