ICT Election Leaders

[+DoofersDad]

As we head toward the General Election it is worth noting that ICT has its very own David, Ed and Nick

 

David Raven.  Gives generally composed performances on the right although prone to moments of rashness.  Would very much like an extension to his term of office but this is still far from certain.

 

Ed Ofere.  New to this type of contest.  Would like to get to number 10 by the end of the season but will need the campaign manager to have more faith in him together with more support from his team mates if he is to achieve that.

 

Nick Ross.  Occupies the middle ground and whilst a generally sound performer may well struggle to keep his place in the team

 

That's our version of Cameron, Miliband and Clegg.  But who is ICT's Nicola Sturgeon and why?  And do we have a Nigel Farage trying to keep us out of Europe?

If only our Ed also had a brother who is better than him!

Niculae Sturgeon?

That's a tricky one - we don't really have a nippy left winger.

Oddquine and Charlie

 

To be fair, while Oddquine may not be terribly keen on us entering the Anglo Scottish Cup, she is as enthusiastic as anyone about a European adventure.

I don't mind us being in an Anglo-Scottish  Cup, as long as all the match officials are not playing for the Anglo sides.....so if we lose, we lose on lack of merit and not through trickery and referee bias.

.... and, whatever the reason for losing, keep expecting a rematch until you win one of them - and then demand to keep the cup for all time! 

[dougiedanger]

and expect the opposing supporters to be greeting their eyes oot even when they win...

The only Tories that are not Blue are the Black and Gold Tories

This is the wrong forum/thread for such a specifically political post, to which a reply, in my inimitable style will undoubtedly run to many pages, Laurence, given the fact that I will argue that much of the good instituted by Old Labour, the party in which my own parents were actively involved post WWII, has been rolled back by the NuLabour of Tony Blair......that same NuLabour which Thatcher claimed as her greatest legacy to the UK, as it adopted and "improved" Tory policies and ethos and gleefully took on board rampant monetarism to woo the English votes it needed to attain government. I am happy to do it, however, providing examples, if you repeat your post in The General Forum, preferably on a new thread.
