One by one the dominoes fall.....UKIP is on the march, we're slowly but surely taking the country back. The contempt with which the party leaders hold the people beggars belief. Some are suggesting it was Cameron himself who made this comment. If it is proven he did, he is finished even sooner than I expect.
PM 'losing control of party'
Also saw this on FB today, some of you might recognize it as a play on the Dad's Army theme, a famous sitcom over here. Not sure if it was ever shown over there!

one of David Camerons allies described grassroots Tories as mad, swivel-eyed loonsSounds like the McCain of the UK.

Thank you for this post: Very informative — and, if I may say, very encouraging, as well.
For those who have not been following political events on the streets of the UK, here are two videos that should help give you the background you need to understand this post:

As one poster has already suggested, Tory leadership might well be likened to our own Sen McCain.

“Swivel-eyed” as an epithet has some zing.

England needs to fight the encroaching evil of the 21st century — Islam — with the same fervor it opposed the Nazi evil in the 20th.

Millipede The Lesser & Pals are grinning from ear to ear.When he becomes PM (with 35% of the vote) he'll finish the destruction started by his “honourable friends” in the 90’s and 00’s.

Is UKIP sort of the British version of the Tea Party?

Ok, ya got me .. had to look that up !
Last Friday, Canada government announced in the official Canada Gazette that Canada's mint will soon unveil one-dollar and two-dollar coins made from brass-plated steel, replacing more expensive nickel cores.The new coins will be slightly lighter, Can$16 million (US$16 million) cheaper to produce and ship, and harder to counterfeit. However, the change will cost coin-operated industries up to $40 million to recalibrate vending machines to recognize the new coinage. The mining sector will also be hit as global nickel demand falls by about 539 metric tonnes per year, or 0.05 percent. The Royal Canadian Mint has produced more than one billion loonies, as the one dollar coins are called, and over 700 billion toonies, the two-dollar coins, since they were introduced in 1987 and 1996, respectively.
(source)
We obviously get the occasional .01-.25 coins down here, but had never seen the loonie/toonies before .. they're actually kinda attractive, but LOL at the nicknames !
