Did you pay for it or were you a "guest" of any particular Israeli outfit?<br /> So many politicians, miltary and police officials are brought to Israel to indoctrinate them and who knows if they are blackmailed whilst there?<br />Are you a member of the Liberal Democrats Friends of "Israel" ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998777999874455363.post-84820020756575335452010-04-08T19:25:42.594+01:002010-04-08T19:25:42.594+01:00Curious why my comment of yesterday never appeared...Curious why my comment of yesterday never appeared, given it was in no way insulting, defamatory or anti-LD.<br /><br />Hustings on 14 April should be interesting.Simon Wnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998777999874455363.post-53565027316036715652010-04-07T18:00:35.577+01:002010-04-07T18:00:35.577+01:00As a LD supporter for a number of years, can I mak...As a LD supporter for a number of years, can I make one comment regarding your "474 votes to win" slogan - simply, is that it?<br /><br />It strikes me that this emphasises none of the positive reasons why one would vote LD - fairer taxes, a reformed H of C and voting system, a firmer commitment to environmental issues, phased budget cuts across the public sector which doesn't treat any one area as a sacred cow, banking reform etc - and only the negative - you're not GJ and "one last heave" can get her out.
