I'm seriously thinking of voting greens, even though there's no chance of them getting in. I really couldn't square my conscious if milliband, even though Ive always been a labour voter, cameron, clegg or farage got in.
but the british voting public will follow their usual blindness and vote the next biggest party in when they're fed up with the present incumbents or worse still show the usual apathy and complain about the political situation but not be prepared to kick the top two in the balls and make a change, baa baa baa.

Out of interest if you simply think a major party will do a better job than any of the minor ones does that make you blind and a sheep as well?
I've read the article. The opening bit is a classic: "Enoch Powell.... is being investigated as an alleged member of a claimed Westminster paedophile network after his name was supplied to police by a senior Anglican bishop....ritual satanic abuse...
So, someone who is dead might (or might not) have been a member of a group that might (or might not) have existed and someone who believes in a supernatural being was told this by another person that believes in a supernatural being who heard it from someone else he was counselling 30 odd years ago....
Perhaps if the journo had done just a little more investigation (ha, ha or been a bit older than twelve) he'd have learned about the prevalence of satanic movies in that era and just before (remember stuff like The Wicker Man) and then there's this:
In the 1980s a “satanic panic” was triggered by controversial psychological techniques that “uncovered” repressed memories of ritual child abuse in the worship of the Devil. At the height of the panic in 1988, a majority of Americans believed secret satanic cults were everywhere. They would target and befriend lonely individuals, invite them to “parties” where they were drugged and sacrificed to Satan. The FBI never found any evidence of widespread satanic cult activity and the psychological techniques that uncovered “repressed memories” were debunked.
So good luck to the poor old plod that gets lumbered with that one!
Meanwhile Calal Milmo - the journalist - should get back to his allotment and leave investigative journalism to the grown-ups.

It's almost like the pollsters should take the trouble to talk to real people before coming out with their polls, isn't it?
