So you’ve spent years complaining you’re the `victim of the system` and `never get airtime` and then you get the prime time viewing slot on the BBC you’ve so long coveted – what do you do with the opportunity?

To cap it all a Leeds Cllr on Five live afterwards was asked whether he hated Hitler. `No, why should I?` came the reply `he was no worse than Alexander the Great`!

Wouldn’t it be nice to get that time machine back to the 50s where we didn’t have to worry our little heads about change. Everything was so simple then – we all knew one another – assumed that everyone would be virtually the same. Sure, they’d have their little eccentricities though nothing to frighten the horses. There wouldn’t be any Gays (well we know where they live and they keep `themselves to themselves`) or Ethnic minorities (none of that foreign muck – well ummm errr errr let’s keep the curries).
We kicked the BNP out in Burnley and stopped their progress in Carlisle – let’s just wipe them off the political map.
