  …a comment which says an afwul lot about why the Conservatives have been eradicated from the inner cities. Doesn’t it, Mr. Tory Troll?

  Now if only we can find a way to eradicate them from this forum…

  It is also a comment which explains exactly why we need more diversity in politics – crass racial stereotyping from ‘Its a two horse race’. Rob – can you remove that comment please

  New Lib Dem campaign ‘tune’?

  What’s wrong with the world mama?
  People living like aint got no mamas
  I think the whole worlds addicted to the drama
  Only attracted to the things that bring you trauma
  Overseas yeah we tryin to stop terrorism
  But we still got terrorists here livin
  In the USA the big CIA the Bloodz and the Crips and the KKK
  But if you only have love for your own race
  Then you only leave space to discriminate
  And to discriminate only generates hate
  And if you hatin you’re bound to get irate
  Yeah madness is what you demonstrate
  And that’s exactly how anger works and operates
  You gotta have love just to set it straight
  Take control of your mind and meditate
  Let your soul gravitate to the love y’all

  People killing people dying
  Children hurtin you hear them crying
  Can you practice what you preach
  Would you turn the other cheek?
  Father Father Father help us
  Send some guidance from above
  Cause people got me got me questioning
  Where is the love?(where is the lovex3)(the love2x)

  It just ain’t the same all ways have changed
  New days are strange is the world the insane?
  If love and peace so strong
  Why are there pieces of love that don’t belong
  Nations dropping bombs
  Chemical gases filling lungs of little ones
  With ongoing suffering
  As the youth die young
  So ask yourself is the loving really strong?
  So I can ask myself really what is going wrong
  With this world that we living in
  People keep on giving in
  Makin wrong decisions
  Only visions of them livin and
  Not respecting each other
  Deny thy brother
  The wars’ going on but the reasons’ undercover
  The truth is kept secret
  Swept under the rug
  If you never know truth
  Then you never know love
  Where’s the love y’all?(I don’t know)
  Where’s the truth y’all?(I don’t know)
  Where’s the love y’all?

  People killing people dying
  Children hurtin you hear them crying
  Can practice what you preach
  Would you turn the other cheek?
  Father father father help us
  Send some guidance from above
  Cause people got me got me questioning
  Where is the love?(where is the lovex3)(the lovex2)

  I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
  As I’m getting older y’all people get colder
  Most of us only care about money makin
  Selfishness got us followin the wrong direction
  Wrong information always shown by the media
  Negative images is the main criteria
  Infecting their young minds faster than bacteria
  Kids wanna act like what the see in the cinema
  Whatever happened to the values of humanity
  Whatever happened to the fairness and equality
  Instead of spreading love, we’re spreading anomosity
  Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity
  That’s the reason why sometimes I’m feeling under
  That’s the reason why sometimes I’m feeling down
  It’s no wonder why sometimes I’m feeling under
  I gotta keep my faith alive, until love is found

  People killing people dying
  Children hurtin you hear them crying
  Can you practice what you preach
  Would you turn the other cheek?

  Where is the love?(fade)

  It may be rather floridly expressed, but that is our policy isn’t it?

  If it is a troll, why should it be a Tory? It has the smack of New Labour to me!

• Joe Taylor 25th Jan '07 - 3:57pm

  That same troll can be seen heckling Mark Pack here.

  It’s a Tory, or I’m a bowler hat.

• It's a two-horse race 25th Jan '07 - 4:04pm

  Hello, bowler hat.

• leon 25th Jan '07 - 4:26pm

  Great, instead of ignoring the troll the discussion is being swayed by him causing everyone to ignore this news piece…

• Rob Fenwick 25th Jan '07 - 5:06pm

  The comment from it’s-a-two-horse-race shows the commenter up far more than anyone else, and so for that reason I won’t be removing it.

  I would say to other users of the site – “it’s-a-two-horse-race” comments on this site at all times of the day and night, always from a BT dial-up address, so they look like a classic troll – someone who spends a lot of time at home on the Internet, and so has become disconnected from some of the basic tenents of human dialogue.

  You cannot beat trolls by arguing with them – and shouldn’t try. There is no reasoning with them. I simply recommend that you ignore “it’s-a-two-horse-race”, and don’t let him / her bug you.

  It’s really good to see the party engaging with The Voice on this and particularly good to see Simon Woolley backing it.

• Suisetarten Suisebeles 25th Jan '07 - 8:37pm

  Actually, I think the trolls do an excellent service in exposing the younger members of the Tory Party as a vile collection of up-thrusting, back-stabbing prep school brats.

  As for the weed… perhaps too many trolls are on it!

  There are some on a mission to win this election by any means necessary. We need to stop them dead in their tracks by making sure that everybody you know of legal voting age is registered to vote. The deadlines are quickly approaching. Please! Please! Don’t let this election be stolen!
