Dizzy, on his as-usual spot-on blog, has made a case for conservatives to prepare for the ground-war that will accompany the budget on March 24. His reasoning is impeccable; March 25th is the last practicable date for an announcement of a May 6th General Election. Controlling the media and government information service until it [...]

I’ve decided to kick off my run-up to the General Election by covering the public comments on the subject of rape of one Grant French, the UK Independence Party Candidate for Penistone and Stockbridge in South Yorkshire.
