Why not? He rips others off...

And as for the election, I bet Clegg would have won, should he reserved the baby-punching for after the election. :(

This has been one of the most interesting international elections I've ever watched.

I hope Cameron brings back the legendary Poll Tax Riots.

Matt, you promised me a blog post explaing what all this Britainia crap in the politics news meant. You never delivered. I am heart-broken now.

Personally, I'd vote for simply Brown because he called an old lady "racist".

You guys have been going downhill since Cromwell died.

Matt, please edit your words. Sight is spelled sight, not site.

You and I are both products of the English educational system, please make us both proud of it.

Thanks.

Fingers crossed for a a good Lib Dem showing causing a hung parliament, to force the politicians to compromise instead of following their own agenda blindly and doing what they like. It hasn't happened since the 70s, but it would be a huge boost for democracy (and prevent the kind of ultra-partisan crap we have to deal with over here).

Oh, and Clegg just makes me feel like Gomez when Morticia speaks french, I blow a hail of kisses on his imaginary wrist.

Because, like the prodigal son, this country will never break its psycholinguistic bonds with the UK and will take its cue from her, a few elections from now, and finally elect a fucking independent third party into office, fifty years overdue.

Perhaps this is wishful thinking, but I predict Tory victory, hung parliament, Scottish independence parties offering support, but only on the condition of full devolution ... making Sean Connery prime minister of Scotland.

Actually, he called her a bigot. Watching the video just for her expression is priceless.
