Ahh! Reg is indeed a veritable Sherlock Holmes isn't He.
Only He isn't.
Just because I like to give grief at the expense of labour delusionists it doesn't follow that I a supporter of the Conservative party.
True, I've voted for them in the past but that was a considered decision based on what I considered to be a rational judgement as to who might give their best shot at running the country as opposed to voting for a party because ones' Great Grandfather and the one before Him voted and I'm not changing no matter what.
As it stands the reaction of all three parties to the UKIP threat remind Me of the oldies in this clip once William Halley and his swing jazz combo start to play.
Bear in mind, as I said before, this is a protest vote and might not be my first choice come 2015.
But that depends on how things might change.
Anyway, pop pickers, here's the clip and don't go tearing up any seats or You'll be thrown out.

David Cameron defends choice of fellow Old Etonian for No 10 policy unit

David Cameron has defended his decision to appoint a fellow Etonian, Jo Johnson, as the new
head of the policy unit in Downing Street, taking to six the number of ex-pupils from Britain's
most exclusive public school in his inner circle.
Amid criticisms from within the Tory party over the appointment of so many Etonians to posts
at the heart of his government, the prime minister said that the younger brother of the London mayor
had an "immense brain" that would strengthen the policy unit.

The party(which you dont support?) is wanting the mouse to move away from the middle ground, and into the right.

# 86.....wake up Rip Van Winkle.......don`t just smell the coffee....taste it......
If I indulged you in your consistent requests for `why`... `what`...`how`....`tell me`...I would give you
a long list of bullet points of the move / lurch to the right.............
The momentum of the right wing is at bursting point...........after today it may even burst.........

Errh Keith, you made #86.
For the umpteenth time I haven't voted tory for years but don't let that cloud your view.
Now Keith, back to your examples of lurching to the right..........
Do you have any substance to that are you only capable of spouting the same old cliches?

How can the Tories end their family feud with Ukip?
Insulting Nigel Farage won't work, but David Cameron shouldn't impersonate him either.
David Cameron gave a hint, never properly fleshed out, during an interview this week that
one of his close relatives is a supporter of the UK Independence party.
The remark was seized on by political chatterers, delighted by the prospect of a prime ministerial
version of an earlier story involving Priti Patel, a Conservative MP whose father was a Ukip candidate
in Hertfordshire - until he appeared to withdraw, presumably under some heavy filial pressure
, before unwithdrawing 90 minutes later. Both stories struck a chord because they spoke to a larger
truth about the Ukip phenomenon: that this is a family feud on the right, a split in the conservative
clan that could prove lethal for their shared cause.
At the very least, Ukip's success when the votes were counted yesterday - bagging more than a
quarter of ballots cast and winning 139 councillors, to go with a silver medal in the South Shields
byelection, where they pushed the Tories into third place - has brought into the open what has
been an internal Conservative argument since 2005.

we will see over coming months/years if they are a protest party

they are an established party now whatever the others say, if they had better organisation they would have had even more councillors than they got.
nigel farage holds all the cards and will use them to bring down the blues in 2015 unless he accepts a sweetener.

Should David Cameron be worried about Tory MPs defecting to Ukip?
There are hints that some Conservative MPs may switch allegiance if the prime minister doesn't
get tougher. Who are the likely candidates?
Nadine Dorries, everyone's favourite tip for defection before she got the Tory whip back. Features
Naughty Tory backbenchers! Eurosceptic Gollums such as Bernard Jenkin ("my precious referendumses")
have been adding to Nigel Lawson's pressure on David Cameron for an in/out ballot by dropping
unsubtle hints that colleagues may start defecting to Ukip if Dave doesn't get tougher. It is a well-tried
destabilising ploy from the Alastair Campbell handbook. But could it actually happen?
Blogger Guido Fawkes put up a runners and riders list last month. It included everyone's favourite tip,
Nadine Dorries, because she a) is flakey b) loves publicity c) had the Tory whip removed for her
defection to reality TV d) has a safe seat and e) is noisily Eurosceptic. It won't happen now.
Last night the nervous nellies restored the Tory whip.
