The timing could have been a lot earlier like when Snotty first nosedived in the opinion polls after the "election that never was", but, having said that, <b>this</b> timing is lethal for Labour. I don't think it matters about the Scottish and Welsh editions as many national stories will still be printed in both.<br />The SNP, (not that they're any better), have got them beaten in Scotland and Wales is Labour through and through, although <b>again,</b> having said that, the map of Wales turned blue in the European election.<br />The really important area is the north of England where Labour's vote has now collapsed and that happened before the Sun changed sides. <br /> :-D <br />To my amazement, after such a long standing Lefty bias, Sky News appears to be following the Sun's change of allegiance if Adam Boulton's interview with McFucknuts is indicative. That particular interview won't have helped him to keep many of Labour's obliging friends at Sky!Barking Spiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00968827142725464915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237469837299055771.post-53471783684274543892009-10-01T08:33:12.000+01:002009-10-01T08:33:12.000+01:00Took The Sun long enough to jump ship and even the...Took The Sun long enough to jump ship and even then not with its Weslsh and scottish editions. :-DBarking Spiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00968827142725464915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237469837299055771.post-36579011454705006492009-10-01T05:57:30.000+01:002009-10-01T05:57:30.000+01:00<span><span><span>Apparently the...<span><span><span>Apparently the place is <b>deserted</b>, VotR, makes me wonder if anyone will bother to televise much of it, except BBC Pravda, of course.

It's all about him and what is best for him at any particular time or in any particular place - pure expediency. Now he is jumping ship like the rest of the rats and supporting the Tories - that should see him all right for another couple of decades, as far as Britain is concerned.<br />That said, you've got to admire the timing - it was impeccable! Any self-congratulatory knees-up that the Labour party were having after their conference would have been immediately turned into a wake!! And with the Tory conference coming up next week........ they're doomed!!!<br />As for Boulton, he left his first wife for that "Tony's gatekeeper" bitch, Anji Hunter, so his loyalties will always be in question - he is no longer an impartial journalist, no matter how much he tries to appear to be.<br />It's been a good day, AOM. 8-)Barking Spiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00968827142725464915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237469837299055771.post-11806742797365983962009-09-30T17:47:48.000+01:002009-09-30T17:47:48.000+01:00Teresa said the same thing, Edgar, but it worked w...Teresa said the same thing, Edgar, but it worked when she used her Twitter account!?
