He thinks Ed Mil will listen to 'our' wishes does he. Mmm.

[tonyav]

I think he means his wishes.

[woofgang]

and anybody should take any notice of him because?

[tonyav]

Well he thinks they do, woof.

[ichkeria]

Don't remember him ever saying he'd vote Tory
He influences a lot of people. Something I don't really get : but he does. If significant numbers of them decide to follow suit it can't do any harm. Even if they just decide to vote, or register for next time, that would be something.
I'm sure whoever eventually prevails in the election would not like think that they had done so partly on the back of apathy among the youth :-;

He hasn't, ichkeria. But he was saying don't vote at all.

[DTCwordfan]

Oh a man of such influence, an irrelevant zit on the political landscape.

[naomi24]

And this is the revolutionary for whom voting was, a week ago, an anathema. Clearly a man of little principle. He’d make a good Labour candidate! Ed's bandwagon becomes more embarrassing by the day.

[tonyav]

Well he is a comedian ( sort of ), naomi.

[naomi24]

Not sure about a comedian, Tony, but he's certainly a joke. :o)

[tonyav]

I wonder if he lives in Islington !.

[mikey4444]

Much as I welcome anybody helping Labour out in its time of need, quite what difference any comments from this scruffy, loud-mouthed article can make at this stage in the proceedings is rather difficult to tell.

[tonyav]

He may influence some of the younger potential voters, mikey.

[mikey4444]

Yes Tony...you are probably correct, Only a few days ago he was encouraging people not to vote at all, so I suppose its a definite improvement.

Perhaps I have been too harsh....but I just wish he would do his shirt up and get his hair cut ! Generational clash, no doubt. My Mum would have have marched him by the ear to the nearest Barber !

"Don't remember him ever saying he'd vote Tory

He hasn't, ichkeria. But he was saying don't vote at all. "

I was having a wee joke there :-)

[tonyav]

Ah, sorry for not spotting that ichkeria.

[Mamyalynne]

Ha has as much right as any other celeb/pundit whatever from lists A to Z to say his piece.
