Why you should vote the Tories:
Dan Hannan
Need I say more? His finest hour shouting down Westminister's Chesire cat was a classic and one for the Record books. He's also a fine, formidable MEP for the South East. And he's pretty fit for the job.
We are the real deal, we don't need cross-party deals
Democracy is not a pawnstore where you can trade in votes for ones we think are more popular/useful. It is a serious business and one that should not be taken lightly. We don't deal in votes. That is not Conservative currency. Do we wish to enter into the murky LibLab political waters with their swap shop of votes and tactics? We neither need or wish to align ourselves with a party who hoped to "kill us off" in 2004. If political joke Robert Kilroy Silk can call the party a joke, then it says it all really.
In with the new
It's simply not cool to follow Tebbit. Our dear Lord and former right hand man of Maggie is simply not right on this issue. The last thing we should be doing is telling our own core support to er, not vote for us. Can you imagine if Tory leaners and voters followed his advice? Do we really want to risk an exodus of the vote by abstaining or swapping our votes? It's time to say ta ta to Tebbit, how ever much it pains TTG to say it.
Instead of looking back at past glories and our past great leading men and women in the party, we should be nurturing those we have now. Cameron, Osborne, Fox ... all doing a fantastic job yet instead we rely on our golden oldie movers. How can we progress if we don't look forward and don't train up our upcoming and new stars? Like in footy, stars can get too old, too tired for the game. Tebbit is one of these.
The Party changed for a reason and whether us tradtionals like it, we must in turn change our perspectives.
Top of our game
We are at 30 per cent for crying out loud. Why do we need to hang out with the new kids on the block, UKIP, when we have over 10 per cent lead over them? If we all suddenly turned around and handed our ballots to Nigel Farage, we could lose all our influence. Also has any of the politicos in the party considered the damage and blow to our credibility if revealed in public?
TORIES VOTE FOR UKIP IN EUROPE ... if we can't , as supporters, even vote for our own party, how can we expect others to cast their votes for us?
...And why you should NOT vote UKIP
So EU don't like the union, why are you there then UKIP?
Hypocrits ... let's get this right. UKIP don't like the EU and want us to get out of it. Okay, TTG's got that. But why are they so keen to get elected and go work and live in the EU? Ahem. Don't think they've thought this through. A lot of Tories aren't too keen with the union but we have realised that we're better with our foot in than out. For UKIP, there is no discussion.. it's final. They want out. Well go ahead, Nigel, get out. Perhaps concentrate on your ideal of an independent UK by offering policies for the people here while here.
Different place, same principles
You wouldn't change your voting habits would you if you moved from one end of the country to the other, would you? Why should the area matter? The principles of the Conservatives are the same across the world. The European Parliament
If you can't commit to the Conservative cause here, maybe, just maybe, the Tory party is not for you.
Big issue of lack of policies
Let's face it. UKIP is pretty much a one-issue party. Apparently, you know, they don't like ID cards either. But dismembering Britain's membership of the EU is their only claim to fame. What happens when the UKIP representant that you will have voted in, has to vote in an issue apart from identity cards, um, a very British and national concern? Their only other policy seems to be endorsing nuclear. They can talk the talk about Britain but what can they actually have to say in Europe. "We. er, don't like the EU?"
Comrades and countrymen, cross for the Conservatives and no other this June 4.

We wouldn't tip a bad waiter, so why do we reward MPs for not doing their jobs?
There was a time when expenses covered your train fare and a cheap supermarket sandwich. And it's still the case for budding MPs and politicos who take up internships with our resident fat cats. While our MPs squander and POOL in as much as their OIL-y claws can grasp yet as according to rules, their younger, prettier counterparts who work for no salary can barely get precious pennies for their measly meals.
The expense system is a CROCK. A joke, a whole on our country's fine finances and one at the public's expense. We are told that MPs need second homes for their constituency and one in London for the very few visits they make per annum.
And us mugs, a fair, decent bunch, don't bat an eyelid as the claims spiral out of control, to fix a leaky pipe, for a sneaky Mars Bars, a few pieces of furniture here and there for each of their five stately homes, to tune a piano, to rid of a moat, to fix their garden, a supermarket sweep for a classy chandelier to show off to constituents, a glittery toilet, and even the taxes they impose on les miserables reels-the public.
TTG wonders, are the LIGHTS on and no one at home? How can our Parliamentarians really see lightbulbs or manure as a fair use of expenses? Can they not pay for these themselves? Are they so irresponsible with their £60k + dough salary that they can't even find 45p for a chocolate bar or 88p for a bath plug?
For while we strive to live, paying out of our own pocket for our bills, for our travel expenses, for our food, for our homes, we at the same time are paying for these irresponsible Kevin-like teenagers to sponge off us.
No better than a benefit fraudster, our MPs who claim to cut down on social scroungers, are merely just adding their own names to the list of those with whom need to be dealt. MPs have a duty to STAMP out waste and corruption. They should be the solution and not the problem. How on earth can we get resuscitate Britain if we can't first lodge out the deprivation and disease that's choking her?
Our country may be going down the TOILET with Gordon Brown and his BASKET case tweedle-dee/tweedle-dum chums at the helm, but there is no excuse for our representants to go for a free-for-all. We are not on our last legs yet!
Like a tip in a restaurant , why should we pay a service charge for a rude waitress/waiter who isn't doing their job properly, who is pissing in the food or turning up late either without the goods, or the food disappointedly cold?
We wouldn't tip a waiter like that so why do we reward MPs for ripping us off or for doing a pretty lousy job?
Enough is enough. We must cut the fat and waste of the parliament. We must hold them to account and let them know that we will not take this any longer. Each and every MP who has taken the piss with their claims MUST pay it back, apologise, step down if necessary.
The Conservatives can recover from this provided they take the steps to eradicate this gross misuse of our funds.
Remember, dear MPs, you're in the DOGHOUSE and don't make a single move out of place or we may just bear our teeth.
The Lord may giveth, but the public will taketh away!

On your marks, get jet, go David!
Demoted Dave in-the-millions-band isn't flying high with the electorate right now if his transport means are anything to go by. The jetsetting blunderer Foreign Sec has been taking a back seat in politics but it's not the case when it comes to his travel arrangemenrts.
Despite their plans to ban private planes and Blair Force One mimics, it seems flighty Miliband just couldn't give up his plane basic rights. David's private plane to fly the flag for the UK costs a whopping £8k an hour and will be ready for lift-off 24/7 for the next two years.
But why possibly would he need one for the 365 days? Like the rest of his fellow MPs, their working year or quarter hardly lasts longer than a month. And Dave hardly puts the work in 'working for you'. Apparently he went on 20 state visits last year. Not a lot for his line of work.
Well TTG is sure he has gone back to school, now that the half term holiday is over.
Seems hardly worth hiring anything. He might as well, in this credit crunch climate, say what he has to say in the safety of his office. It's green too. Keeps to your little eco promise doesn't it?
And a two year contract? They're pretty optimistic aren't they? TTG can't see him nor his crock of a party lasting much longer.
Still, a trip to California on a budget plane might give him a chance to meet the people he's meant to represent and see how shoddy our services really are. Surely not, after all Labour MPs seem to be above their station and think they are are of much more self worth than the voters.
But despire all this, TTG would be happy to pay for him to buzz off abroad more often and hell, TTG would even pay and book a one-wayy ticket to Timbuktu if it gets rid of the useless swine once and for all.

Flu you gonna call? Not Labour!
SHUT it Britain, unless you too want to succumb to the swine flu. The virus that has wiped out 150 people in Mexico is spreading fast across the world, with the UK the latest pitstop for the illness. So far, two Brits have been hit by the flu and now experts fear that 25 million could soon be on the list...
Don't worry. Britain's covered, remember. Labour promised to keep by masks and drugs when the latest craze was bird flu so we'll be fine. Panic over.
...But apparently that too, like the "green shoots of our economy", rights for Gurkhas and first home owner MPs, is just another figment of our imagination.
Like Labour's crime figure/immigration statistics, Alan Johnson's recent claim that "we can deal with it" and we are prepared, is unreliable.
The cupboard is bare. Thanks to the poor preparation for this pig flu pandemic, there aren't any masks, only some lousy drugs to take once we've contracted the bloody thing. Which is likely and will affect 4 out of ten Brits as our nation neglect to check out our migrants' health, let alone whether they have a right to be here.
So far from being prepped for an illness invasion, silly ole Blighty blights in the health department have left it til now to call up the EU and put in a order for 32 million masks.
Shame that Europe is all out.
If that's their idea of organisation, TTG hates to think what letting themselves go is.

Here goes McBride ... But who cares about his lies?
Here goes McBride ... Labour by his side
NB: This blog is written in full assumption that you have read, heard and been swamped with detail over the latest Gate to put Labour at the forefront of the news for all the wrong reasons, the Derek Draper & McBride Ltd v emails debacle.
Here's a quickie to get you up to speed, if like TTG, you have spent your Holy Week buried under box on box of chocolate Easter eggs.
---> BROWN'S right hand man, hellish Dr Spin McBride got his marching orders after his poison pen emails of ways to top the Tories got leaked. The emails, which vowed to dig up the sex secrets of the rich and famous of the Conservatives, had been sent to Labour luvvy-cum-cunt Dirty Derek Draper, who had his finger in the pie of this smear campaign. The PM of course doesn't recall said emails.
At least we should commend Labour for sticking to their education, education, education policy, for they have brought themselves down to the level of school children with their playground politics.
And even with modern technology. Not quite Twitter level, but they're getting there. In touch with the people, Labour are, you know.
But why do we actually care?
Papers and political movers have been quick to recoil in horror but TTG couldn't care less. They are but mere words.
And words from Labour mean very little to her and to most in this country.
Who, hand on heart, of the British electorate would a) believe b) listen or c) care about these unfounded claims?
A little background colour makes a picture, doesn't it not? The claims against TTG's fave Tory, a certain curious George, get her heated in quite a different way...
And while bloggers and papers cry out in despair at the disgusting snide contributions from McBride and co., what they have done inadvertedly is do the dirty work for ole Derek and McBride.
They couldn't be happier. For now, the supposed skeletons are printed for all and sundry to see. Their smear campaign has been carried out by the very people who had hoped to suppress them. Are the readers of our papers known for reading between the lines or questioning the "facts" put out in front of them?
Now they are left believing that maybe one of our high fliers has an STD, that there might be truth of a cross-dressing, coke snorting member in our ranks etc...
Our best policy is to simply not bat an eyelid at this pent-up, tin pot pathetic little party.
Since its very foundations, little vampire Labour has lived off us. They have tried to drain us of our support, our ideas, the electorate, our policies, our pride and our integrity. But like their vampire counterparts, they are dead. And dead to Britain.
If bullying, intimidation, and smears are all that Labour has to offer, then we might as well put the last grains of dirt on their coffin.

Once, twice, three times a loophole
Broon cloon, Geoff Hoon's, defences were down today after it was revealed the ex Ministry man claimed not one, not two but three homes.
Following in Two Homes Secretary Jacqui Smith's footsteps, the ex Minister was revealed as living in the wonderful grace and favour Admiralty flat, built in 1786, featuring three stories of yellow brick of orginal design, with local views of the London Eye and Horse Guards Parade and featuring Winston Churchill as a former resident. For a limited time only, snap up this flat by joining the Defence.
Hoon's second home, just a stone's throw away, is currently up for let only by landlord Hoon. Buyers must be wary that changing circumstances such as Geoff's "going upstream without a paddle", i.e getting caught out tinkering the system, may result in you losing your home.
Finally, Hoon's third "known" home is set in the beautiful Nottinghamshire, a mere three hours by road to his two other properties. Hoon uses this as his home from a home from a home during the summer break from the Commons. This home will strike up a lot of competition for its price, lack of wear and tear, and barely lived in appearance. £50k has been kindly donated by the public to keep the house maintained and running when Hoon isn't there.
Buyers are asked to join the Labour Party membership to take advantage of this week's offers.
Geoff Hoon, however, may be too busy dealing with critics, to answer your call.
In an official statement, Geoff Hoon said, while humming popular Lionel Richie song, Three Times A Lady:
'Thanks for the homes
That you've given me
And legally I need not resign
And now that I've come
To the end of my MP dough
There's something
I must say out proud.
I once, twice,
three times a loophole.
Yes I am once twice,
Three times a loophole
And I love to
claim out on whatever
The moments I cherish
With every pound that you part
To touch your, to hold your (cash)
To steal your, to need your (cash)
There's nothing to keep us apart,
I'm once twice
Three times a loophole
And I love to
I love to.'
