Polling In A General Election Is Pretty

I Loathe And Detest All This Trivialisation Of Politics.

I've Got People Handling The Media. I Employ At The Moment Two People. No-one Is Paying Income Tax On The Money They Use To Employ People.

The Tories Had The Legal Right To Demand Extra Meetings Of The Council But I Could Decide When They Would Be Held And Always Called Them For Friday Afternoons, Knowing That Three Or Four Of The Richer Tories Went To The Country Early And Were Not Prepared To Stay In The City Beyond Lunchtime. I Realised That Nothing In Politics Is New When I Read In Suetonius's The Twelve Caesars That Julius Caesar Pulled The Same Trick When Reactionaries In The Senate Were Making His Life Difficult.

It Is All Very Well For People With Fine Arts Degrees, But For Ordinary People Like Myself, We Want A Statue To Look Like The Person.

When You Get Into Politics, You Find That All Your Worst Nightmares About It Turn Out To Be True, And The People Who Are Attracted To Large Concentrations Of Power Are Precisely The Ones Who Should Be Kept As Far Away From It As Possible.
