    Pritchard out! Pritchard out!

    I can’t believe I sat through that Mrs Pritchard thing this evening. When it wasn’t insulting the entire male gender, it was throwing every non-nonsense-Northern-lass cheesy cliché into the pot. That’s before we get onto the factual and procedural errors – Blair standing at the next election? Peter Snow showing exit poll predictions on his big coloured map during daylight hours – ie before the polls closed? (Actually, Peter Snow doing it at all?) But my favourite moment of all was the sight of the ballot paper – with the ‘United Kingdon Independance’ candidate listed above the eponymous heroine. Check it on your Sky+ box… that’s what it said. Ouch.

    Oh… and hastily getting back on topic… no online element to her campaign whatsoever. In this day and age? I ask you.

    On your TV next Tuesday at 9pm: how about Danny Wallace’s attempts to secure human rights for chimps? Probably more entertaining, more politically relevant, and more entertaining.

      And no questions by the mainstream parties about how the ‘independent Purple Alliance’ was bank-rolled by a supermarket magnate
