Cameron and Milliband got 'Paxmanned' the other night. Jeremy Paxman was magnificent and he made Cameron squirm in a big way but, it has to be said, Cameron kept his cool and came away relatively unscathed mainly by not 'biting'.
Milliband on the other hand looked like he'd been hit with a halibut.
At the end of the interview Paxman could be heard saying "Are you ok Ed?" and, frankly, he wasn't. The look of pure hatred on Milliband's face as he looked at Paxman spoke volumes.
What ever you think of Cameron he has moved us away from the precipice left by Labour.
Milliband just isn't up to the task. Prime Minister? Milliband? God help us.
If you are a traditional Labour voter and can't vote for anyone else then fair enough, please don't vote. If Milliband gets in, even through 'the back door' Britain is FINISHED.
Anyone who can't see that is in desperate need of a Labrador.

Emigration May Be A Sound Move
Britain is in the throws of a general election. I will rephrase. Britain is desperately trying not to have a national nervous breakdown wondering which of the mad bastards are going to be governing us for the next five years.
It could be the Conservatives - unlikely without some support from another party a la the current coalition.
It could be Labour - even more unlikely without the support of the Scottish National Party.
It will be though, either / or and most likely a coalition government again.
Now, if it is the Conservatives they will be looking to form some sort of coalition or, at least, deal with either the Liberal Democrats as they have done for the last 5 years or with UKIP if UKIP do as well as expected - and that's a BIG if.
A coalition with the Lib-Dems would work as it clearly has worked for 5 years. Surprisingly successfully considering.
A coalition or deal with UKIP would certainly work and, possibly, be the most preferable outcome.
Either of the above would be fine for England and the rest of Britain would have to live with it.
If we end up with Labour and the Scottish Nationalists running the show then, frankly, we should take to the streets and riot and throw molotov cocktails and all those things that rioters are apt to do.
Why?
Because the Scottish Nationalists are specific to Scotland and not relevant to England, Wales or Northern Ireland.
It would be a completely undemocratic government and, of necessity, would need to be overthrown by those who believe in democracy.
As always I would be at the forefront of encouraging people, should we end up with Labour and the Scottish Nationalists, to riot, throw molotov cocktails, burn effigies of Ed Milliband, Alex Salmond and that bird named after a fish - Sturgeon is it? - and, basically, do anything and everything to overthrow the government if that was the government we ended up with.
I would also be loudly encouraging this behaviour from Spain or somewhere - A) Because the thought of living in a Britain governed by left wing Scottish loonies is more than I could cope with and B) I would find it much better to watch the molotov cocktails fly about on TV from my hacienda in Spain holding a cold beer.
I'm not entirely daft you know....
Apropos of nothing related to this post : Standing by a litter bin today smoking a cigarette I was accosted by a Muslim gentleman who said the smoke was bothering his wife who was sitting on a bench.
I pointed out that I was outside and far from any building so was quite entitled to smoke there.
He said "I want you to move"
I replied "You bloody move and whilst you're about it keep moving until you get to Dover and don't stop then either mate. Keep going until you arrive in some country where anyone could care less what you think"
I was born to be a diplomat you know.

All We Hear Is Radio Ga-Ga
I'm thinking - and, I know, this a dangerous moment in world events, me thinking - but I am you know. Well I think I am thinking therefore I must be thinking.
Bloody hell I'm starting to sound like Keirkegaard!! Who he? ;-)
Anyway. Many moons ago I was an internet radio DJ. Oh yes I was!
I started out on this slightly bizarre endeavour on something called 'Destiny Pirate Radio'. This station was based in the States - or, at least, the software you needed to broadcast on it was sent from the States.
I had a great time playing music I like and, oddly, I got lots of listeners. Well, when I say 'lots' I don't mean 'lots' as in Absolute Radio or even Radio 1. I got lot's as in a few now and then.
I also, being a mouthy old git, started spouting off my views from time to time. This seemed to increase the listener base probably because somebody told somebody who told somebody else that this demented English bloke was mouthing off over the internet in between playing music and, sooner or later, he was likely to be assassinated on air if he didn't shut up.
After somebody at Destiny received death threats from some Christian fundementalists or, if you prefer, mentalists, they requested that I depart from their company before they got 9/11'nd - or something like that.
I then wandered onto a radio station called, at the time, Scooter Forums Radio. It then became SFR.
It was great fun until some other DJ who happened to be Muslim - and lived in Canada - got upset when I took the piss out of Islam.
The fact I took the piss out of all religions and many many other things - including myself - didn't seem to compute and the boss sent me an e-mail asking me to desist.
I responded with "I quit" and the boss said "Ok then" - er....oops?
I fell out with the boss for a while - and he really should have talked me into staying as I like my ego being massaged - but stopped falling out with him because he's like my baby bro and I love him to bits (in a manly way I hasten to add).
Anyway. As I said. I've been thinking.
I'm going to start up my own internet radio station. I know how - well, I think I know how. I think I'll set it up to play music on a 24 hour loop with the odd advertised live show featuring me.
If I do - and, as I've thought about it I well might but, then again, I've thought about shagging Kylie Minogue and that hasn't happened, so don't hold your breath eh? - it will be called 'The Drunk Punk Live And Unleashed' which, I would have thought, gives you a half way decent idea of what is likely to happen doesn't it?
I mean to say, when I got in trouble at SFR my show was called 'The Drunk Punk Show' so quite how the Muslim bird thought she'd be listening to Mary bloody Poppins with a show name like that is quite beyond me.
Anyway. There you go. If I do actually do it - that's the radio DJ stuff not shag Kylie Minogue - you will be the first to know.
Well, you won't of course, I'll be the first to know but you'll be a close second!

German Aeroplanes? I'll Take A Boat Thankyou
The tragedy of the German aircraft crashing into a mountain is something that words cannot describe really.
It worries me slightly that I started thinking of Stan Boardman from many many moons ago when he appeared on the old TV chat show 'Des O'Connor Tonight'.
O'Connor asked Boardman (a Liverpool comedian) why he clearly hated the Germans so much as, in his act, he invariably slagged them off.
"Well you see Des" he replied, "my dad was a Spitfire pilot in the war and he got badly hurt. A squadron of German Focke's flew over his airfield and badly bombed it. My dad was the only Spitfire to make it into the air and he took on the Focke's single handedly getting badly wounded in the process"
"Really? Tell me more" said the naive O'Connor.
"Well", continued Boardman, "my dad flew alone into this squadron of Focke's and opened up his guns. There was a Focker falling here and a Focker falling there....."
"Just a moment Stan" said O'Connor, "this is an early evening show so I need to make sure the audience and viewers understand that a Focke IS a make of German aircraft"
"That's right" said Boardman, "but these Focke's were Messerschmidt's!!!!"
This is not verbatim but a general remembrance of more or less what happened on the show.
Well, it made me laugh anyway.
Besides? DILLIGAF?

Britain's Left Are Really A Disgrace
Nigel Farage is, of course, the leader of UKIP. Britain's left consider UKIP a right wing racist political party. They have every right to hold that opinion if they wish.
They have every right to protest peacefully against UKIP if they so wish.
I disagree with them wholeheartedly but I will defend their right to think as they do and speak as they do.
It's called 'freedom of speech'.
Britain's left however, seem to hold 'freedom of speech' in contempt unless the speech in question is in line with their views.
A group of left wingers ambushed Farage in a village pub whence he had gone to enjoy a Sunday lunch with his family.
That is the true face of the British left.
They claim to hate fascism yet are clearly the most fascist group in the country.

My Place My Views and if you don't like it then DILLIGAF?
I've decided to reconnect to Bloggers. It's been quite a while and I miss a lot of my old Blog pals.
I haven't changed you know. I'm still the mouthy self opinionated old git that you knew and loved or hated.
Just a quick introductory post to get it off the ground.
From here on in my take on UKIP, immigration, the EU, Britain's left wing and other such jolly topics.
It will depend on how drunk I am of course. I might give my opinions on all sorts of things from aliens to music to politics to movies.
I'm doing it for me mind you so if nobody reads or comments then DILLIGAF?
Laters.....
