I hope I am not being ignored because I have backed Chris Huhne. But maybe it's just that I am not quite as important as I thought I was.<BR/><BR/>David: Bilko... Blincoe...

One is entitled to ask, if Nick Clegg's campaign team can't get a supporter to take down an erroneous profile description, then how the heck can they be expected to run a political party?Paul Walterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00525444717679391831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6606798.post-56609823950696076522007-11-27T23:09:00.000+00:002007-11-27T23:09:00.000+00:00I am sure Lord B would agree with you.I am sure Lord B would agree with you.Jonathan Calderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00730157683743989696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6606798.post-70241034889708686452007-11-27T22:56:00.000+00:002007-11-27T22:56:00.000+00:00I think this Blincoe chap is rather overexcited by...I think this Blincoe chap is rather overexcited by the whole thing.<BR/>I would recommend he go and have a cold shower.Left Libhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06363370783879139149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6606798.post-84013460080840378892007-11-27T22:47:00.000+00:002007-11-27T22:47:00.000+00:00Let me try again...I have received no reliable wor...Let me try again...<BR/><BR/>I have received no reliable word from Team Clegg.<BR/><BR/>Hope this is clear :-)Jonathan Calderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00730157683743989696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6606798.post-14087032428824328382007-11-27T22:35:00.000+00:002007-11-27T22:35:00.000+00:00Now I'm really confused.
