Labour elevate incompetence into an art form

This poster has recently been put up by the Labour party on a poster site in Warwick Road, Carlisle:















Yes, that's right: a poster for Labour's candidate in the key target marginal of Lancaster and Fleetwood has gone up in the key target marginal of Carlisle, some 66 miles' drive from Lancaster or 93 miles' drive from Fleetwood.

Now I'm sure every Conservative activist in both John Stevenson's team in Carlisle and Eric Ollerenshaw's in Lancaster & Fleetwood will be falling about laughing at this latest example of Labour incompetence, but there is actually a serious point here.

Three weeks tomorrow there is a general election. The sort of twits who can't even put the right posters up for the election without ordering one for a candidate who isn't even standing in the same county, and who are of course the same bunch of  the incompetent buffoons who nearly bankrupted our country when they were last in power, might be forming a government three weeks on Friday, though they would probably have to be propped up by the SNP.

People who clearly are not competent to run the proverbial whelk stall might be trying to run Britain.

We all ought to be thinking very carefully about the implications of that - and what we can do to campaign to make sure it does not happen.

And by the way #SupportOption1

Chris, In the defense of labour here and to play devils advocate,

Come on labour can not read an excell spread sheet, they can not count. they have proven this countless times even locally, where they curb the salary of the mayor to £30k and then set aside £100k in the budget for it.

Labour cant get the absolute basics right and you know that.

So by posting that they can not read a road map either, well don't you think its falling into the category of "laughing at the mentally ill"

I see your point. However, unlike those who have been diagnosed by a clinician as mentally ill, the Labour party might be the main component of the government of this country in three weeks' time.

Nick Herbert on his visit to flood hit areas of Cumbria

Please note that the post below was published more than ten year ago on 21st November 2009 Nick Herbert MP, shadow cabinet member for the Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs, was in Cumbria this morning to see the areas affected by the flooding. He writes on Conservative Home about his visit. Here is an extract. I’ve been in Cumbria today to see the areas affected by the floods. I arrived early in Keswick where I met officials from the Environment Agency. Although the river levels had fallen considerably and homes were no longer flooded, the damage to homes had been done. And the water which had got into houses wasn’t just from the river – it was foul water which had risen from the drains. I talked to fire crews who were pumping flood water back into the river, and discovered that they were from Tyne & Wear and Lancashire. They had been called in at an hours’ notice and had been working on the scene ever since, staying at a local hotel. You cannot fail to be impressed by the

Quotes of the day 19th August 2020

"Wise men profit more from fools than fools from wise men; for the wise men shun the mistakes of fools, but fools do not imitate the successes of the wise."  ( Cato the Elder , who lived 234 BC - 149 BC, quoted in "Lives" by Plutarch.) There is a similar saying by Germany's Iron Chancellor, Otto von Bismarck: Benjamin Franklin is supposed to have put the same saying in a more humorous form: "Wise men profit by the mistakes of others, while fools will not learn even from their own blunders." See also this thread on the "Quote Investigator" website . Let us all be wise and learn from the events of the last few days.

Quote of the day 24th July 2020

I was moved to put the passage below forward as a quote today when I saw a horrible post on twitter from someone writing that it was "excellent" that someone who took a different view from her about Brexit had died. I won't write which way round it was so that all the Remain supporters can assume the post was from a Brexit fanatic welcoming the death of a remainer and all the Leavers can assume it was a Remainiac welcoming one less Brexiteer. There's been plenty of nasty stuff on both sides but if you catch anyone of your own viewpoint  posting something like that who might listen to you, please do call them out on it - and point out that they're giving everyone on your side of the argument a bad name. Anyway, here's the quote from John Donne.
