Mr Howard has a new job

If you were worried Michael Howard would have too much time on his hands since stepping down as the leader of the Conservative Party, fret not, he's got himself a little part time job, The Times has the details:

MICHAEL HOWARD, the former leader of the Tory party, is to become the chairman of the European arm of a corporate espionage company set up by former agents of the CIA, MI5 and Soviet Intelligence.

His appointment by Diligence, which employs several former members of the SAS and SBS, is the first job Mr Howard has accepted since he announced after the party’s defeat last year that he would not be contesting his seat at Folkestone & Hythe at the next election. Mr Howard, who is expected to be paid a six-figure salary, told The Times that he had been contracted to work a minimum of half a day a week, and insisted that it would not interfere with his constituency duties.

haha - i got this!

Who should I vote for?

Your expected outcome:

Your actual outcome:

Labour -24
	Conservative 19
	Liberal Democrat 8
	UK Independence Party 27
	Green 37

The Green Party, which is of course strong on environmental issues, takes a strong position on welfare issues, but was firmly against the war in Iraq. Other key concerns are cannabis, where the party takes a liberal line, and foxhunting, which unsurprisingly the Greens are firmly against.

Take the test at Who Should You Vote For

cant really see me voting green - not a big fan of Labour as you can see!

Folkestone in the news!

Did you see Folkestone on the BBC news last night? John Prescott came to town to unveil a monstrous poster of Michael Howard with the slogan "Forward not Howard". Where in town did this happen?

Here's what Labour say they've done for Folkestone, here's Shepway Conservatives, and here's Peter Carroll of the Lib Dems. Last, but most closely allied to my own beliefs The Greens. The candidate is Hazel Dawe, and the mayor recently defected their way from the Lib Dems. Also standing are Petrina Holdsworth of the UKIP and Rodney Hylton-Potts, the independent TV game show winner.
