    Although I have to agree with the comments concerning Shami's integrity and balls, I'm afraid I can not support the view that she is worth a squirt.

    She looks like Jimmy Krankie standing on a small box.

    I would do Shami in a moment - not that she would let an old barsteward like me near her though.

    Did you see her on BBC Breakfast News this week? Sitting there, legs crossed with the hemline shaking hands with the knicker line. All when I was trying to eat my cornflakes

    It's about time the Norwich took on the political hue of the rest of Norfolk, mind you considering Norwich, being in Norfolk has always been quite different to the rest of the county, excepting of course the other two populous areas of Great Yarmouth and Kings Lynn, both of which could do with a bit of carpet bombing to make it better.

    Being from South Norfolk originally myself (Without the extra or less eyes,ears,noses or other appendages because my father came from outside the local gene-pool and was related to my mother only by marriage) I must say I used to have a certain apprehension when going into the city, they speak a different language, have different ways and think milk comes from cartons and not cows, but considering the amount of Pubs,nightclubs and other establishments that abound in that fine city, you just have to give it a shot maybe 3-4 times a week, 3 of those being on a weekend of course!

    I'm actually glad that this is possibly the first "Crack in the face of the dam before the deluge" and that maybe, just maybe the downfall of the bunch of clowns who are in power started there.

    The downfall of the Labour party started quite a while ago,the Norwich result is just a taste of what is yet to come.Labour are in for a kicking that hopefully they will not come back from.

    For me the most interesting aspect of the by-election was the support that UKIP got.They came 4th just behind the lib dems by 800 or so votes.Not that you would know this if you depended on the BBC for your infomation.

    Bias BBC are fearful of what a right leaning broadly libertarian party gaining influence would mean for them.

    More power to UKIP,I hope they go from strength to strength.

    Re: Labour lose Norwich - Tories win the seat!

    Thought I'd cheer myself up by way of laughing at sycophantic bye-election spin, over on Labourlist.

    However, the current top post (after the lead article) although decidedly non sycophantic, still brought forth a quality smirk.

    Reproduced below, for your pleasure… (Article Linky)

    To all,

    A couple of days ago there were two articles on LL in support of Brown. Then you get this piece. Quite frankly you haven't got a clue and are all over the place.

    I have been giving you hints all the way so here it is. If you want to go anywhere you will have to re invent yourself. You can analyse this until the cows come home. The turnout was 45% roughly average for a by election. Those who think the Labour vote stayed at home need pills. Stop talking about the Toreez, and silly little issues. The biggest factor in the lives of the average Joe is the Economy and Labour are KILLING the people it claims to represent.

    The current issues you have outside of a disastrous record are:

    1. there is no credible leader.
    2. nobody in the Labour party has demonstrated economic competence.
    3. there is a lack of talent in the pool.
    4. you haven’t shown a clear understanding of the electorate
    5. the dark lord is playing the game to his own benefit

    In any political movement there are extreme’s of view and love him or loathe him (Loathe for me) Blair united the party and made it electable. This looks like the direction the Purnell is taking. He's a marketeer, he knows that Brown has lost in every way. Looks like he is playing the long game starting with showing that he has thought about it. I worry about this becoming significant and what strings Mandy is pulling (based on past performance, I do not want a Labour government ever).

    The question is will the labour party allow itself to self destruct under the self believing one and moreover will you standby seeing record levels of job losses and the disastrous balance of payments figures. Here is an extract from a Times article that the “Ideo-illogical” should read in full
    http://business.timesonline.co.uk/to...cle6727069.ece


    If there is one thing that Britain’s business bosses find more difficult than struggling through the worst recession since the war, it is struggling through the worst recession since the war when everyone is talking about green shoots.

    Over the past couple of months most company bosses, outside the rarefied world of the City, have insisted that they see no green shoots. Declarations that the economy had already hit bottom have been met with exasperated scorn.

    It looks as if business was right. Far from turning the corner in the second quarter, as some pundits expected, preliminary figures suggest that the economy continued to shrink. And fast. A fall of 0.8 per cent might not seem that bad compared with the 2.4 per cent drop in the first quarter. But it still represents a vast decline in activity. And it suggests that the bottom is a good way off yet.
    The economy has now tumbled by 5.7 per cent since peaking in the first quarter last year. This is easily the worst recession since the Second World War, overtaking the downturn of the early 1980s, when output shrank by 4.6 per cent over five quarters.

    To be fair to all the economists who were wrongfooted by yesterday’s figures, many recent signs have pointed to the economy bumping along the bottom. Indeed, some economists believe that yesterday’s figures are simply wrong and will be revised up, as has often happened in the past. The team at Goldman Sachs, who have been more optimistic than most, declared themselves “a bit bemused”.

    From my (albeit very brief) glance, she seems to talk a lot of sense. No ID cards, don't lock people up indefinitely without trial, allow free speech, don't stop and search people without a reason, etc.
    But only if the offending person is "COFF" ethnic or sexually diverse.

    edit.
    and for those that cry NaZi.

    ms chakrabati was once asked how she felt about "white" people as well as black people being stopped and searched in , say Brixton?

    Her answer:
    There arn't any white people in brixton, so thats a retorical question!

    spelling buffs take note.
