So that is it, then?
Therefore, although I was going to hold my nose and vote Tory this time, there can only be one way to vote now, UKIP. If it means another 5 years of New Labour, so be it! Actually, they will be lucky to last a year before the revolution comes.

Thomas the Tank Engine
As we get our TV service via Virgin Media cable, I went to the TV on Demand service. While flipping through the choices, I noticed a whole series of Thomas the Tank Engine episodes. I used to love my parents reading the Rev Audrey's stories about railway engines to me at bedtime, and our kids loved us to read the same stories to them.
I decided to watch one of the episodes and there he was, my favourite tank engine. It was about a childrens' firework party. The script said that the children loved climbing onto Thomas and he loved to stand and watch the children playing! Crikey, I thought to myself. I hope he has been CRB checked!!
See Thomas here :-)

We could do with a few more Mayors like this
Progress / Key decisions since taking office
· Appointed a mixed Cabinet of committed Councillors
· Cut Mayor's salary from around £73,000 to £30,000 per year
· Axed Mayor's chauffeur driven car (approximately £6,000)
· Stopped future funding for gay pride event (£3,000)
· Stopped council newspaper Doncaster News
· Directed that two children's social worker posts be reinstated at Doncaster Royal Infirmary to specifically assist children in hospital and to help detect abuse
· Axed membership of Local Government Association and Local Government Information Unit (approximately £80,000)
· Where possible, stopped funding for translation services and instead encourage people to learn English
· Cut twinning ties with five towns saving approximately £4,000+
· Written to the Electoral Commission to cut the number of Councillors from 63 to 21 which could save upwards of £1,000,000
Future priorities
· Lower Council Tax by cutting extortionate levels of bureaucracy and other waste
· End malpractice and mismanagement in the council
· Hold a referendum on the Mayoral governance of Doncaster
· Reduce the number of councillors from 63 to 21
· Conduct a review of the A638 Quality Bus Corridor and the traffic mayhem around the Dome
· Scrap politically correct non-jobs and encourage the former employees to seek meaningful employment
· Encourage every school to opt out of local authority control – money should go directly to schools to raise deteriorating educational standards
· Ensure police concentrate resources on catching criminals
· Introduce zero tolerance of anti-social behaviour and impose penalties for such everyday practices as using foul language in public and spitting in the street
· Halt the architectural vandalism of Doncaster and protect the town’s heritage
Election countdown

Will the idiots in the HoC never learn
What on earth persuaded anyone to put Gorbals Mick up for a peerage, and why didn't the Queen just say "No"? I believe she has some options in the matter when such a request is made.

Brown Stained
It is with great pleasure I (belatedly) report that Guido Fawkes, aka Paul Staines, has nailed the odious Damien MacBride for sending out false email smears about various Tory grandees and their families. What a hoon!

Absolute Crap
Jonno, please get rid of all the prima donnas, this is getting just like soccer! You might as well pick Old Wankorians A XV to represent England (All the names in this post are fictitious, apart from Jonno!)

Jeremy doesn't like Gordon, apparently!
At an Australian press conference promoting Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson described The Dear Leader as "a one-eyed, Scottish idiot".
