From Friday’s Guardian, where we have Jury Team’s millionaire founder Paul Judge saying,
Judge said Jury Team was able to criticise [Home Secretary Jacqui] Smith in a way that mainstream opposition politicians could not because it was independent of party politics.
“We know that the Conservatives and Lib Dems won’t dare attack a fellow MP on the issue of sleaze.”
Yeah right; I’ve never heard a Conservative or Lib Dem MP criticise another MP on sleaze, have I? (Except, obviously, for all the numerous occassions when I have.)

Hm. These guys are disappointing. It’s a shame. Either they’re sufficiently stupid to believe that’s true or they’re lying and are confident people will believe them – in which case they have rather disproved their own assertions about the moral integrity of apolitical politics.
And of course, were Jury Team to ever get any MPs (unlikely, I know) there would be some magic spell to avoid any of them claiming expenses in a way that’s within the rules but not terribly clever.
Actually, I could quite happily criticise Paul Judge on the issue of sleaze since I’m in little danger of being sued for libel. Short memories, eh?
Now can we stop caring who or what the Jury Team are, please. The rest of the fringe doesn’t get this attention from us.
Best not read this blog tomorrow then Joe!
I don’t have a clue just who Lou Pritchett is but he certainly hits the
nail
on the head.
AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA
Dear President Obama,
You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike any
of the others, you truly scare me.
You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.
You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive Ivy
League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no
visible signs of support.
You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth
growing up in America and culturally you are not an American.
You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.
You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don’t
understand it at its core.
You scare me because you lack humility and ‘class’, always blaming
others.
You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned yourself
with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to publicly
denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail.
You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the ‘blame America’ crowd
and deliver this message abroad..
You scare me because you want to change America to a European style
country where the government sector dominates instead of the private
sector.
You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with a
government controlled one..
You scare me because you prefer ‘wind mills’ to responsibly capitalizing
on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.
You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose that
lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of living in the
world.
You scare me because you have begun to use ‘extortion’ tactics against
certain banks and corporations.
You scare me because your own political party shrinks from challenging
you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.
You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider
opposing points of view from intelligent people.
You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both omnipotent
and omniscient.
You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you
do.
You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaughs,
Hannitys, O’Relllys and Becks who offer opposing, conservative points of
view.
You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.
Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will probably
not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.
Lou Pritchett
