Never again Labour voters

Following my revelation that Mike 'Maverick" Molloy was now going to vote Conservative after a lifetime of voting Labour, I was interested at the weekend when two long time Labour voting friends announced with no prompting that they could never vote Labour again and would be voting Conservative at the coming general election.

It now seems that the Conservatives have also spotted this trend as

"David Cameron has launched a new poster campaign aimed at attracting people who have never previously voted Conservative. "

The campaign will run posters of the form "I've never voted Tory before, but I like their ... plans"

Do you feel the pressure building Gordon?

First Mike Molloy and now Obama Girl

Following the news that Mike Molloy will now vote Conservative, I read that:

"the bikini-clad "Obama Girl" -- who famously cooed about her "crush" throughout the presidential campaign on YouTube videos -- admits the thrill is gone.

Amber Lee Ettinger -- the buxom sensation who lip-synched about her love for then-candidate Barack Obama -- said she wishes he spent his first year in office more focused on fixing the abysmal economy.

"I think he's doing an OK job," said Ettinger, whose original "Crush on Obama" video, first shown in 2007, has had more than 16.5 million views on YouTube.

"I know he's getting a lot of flak for things that he's not doing," she told The Post. "In my opinion, I feel like he should be focusing a lot more on jobs and the economy.""

Donch just love it when the left see sense, albeit way too late?

When Mike 'Maverick' Molloy says he will vote Conservative then you know Labour are finished

I found a copy of Tuesday's Mail lying around at a client's offices and so had a read, it was Tuesday's and I almost fell off my seat when I read the headline "Mirror man vents spleen at Labour". For the article was about Mike 'Maverick' Molloy, an old acquaintance and former editor of The Daily Mirror and later editor-in-chief of Mirror Group. Mike Molloy has written a piece for Conservative candidate Angie Bray's election material and here are some extracts:

"I was a staunch supporter of the Labour Party, and when they came to power I was confident they would change Britain for the better. ... Well, we all know how wrong I was. The money flowed in, but instead of financing a better way of life for ordinary people, most of it just seeped away into the swamp of stupefying incompetence.

...

What emerged was a Frankenstein's monster. Having imposed stealth taxes that ruined private pensions, Brown set about destroying any opposition in the Labour Party that dared speak of reforming the welfare state.

...


When the financial hurricane finally blew down upon us, the sheer scale of his incompetence was revealed. Twelve years of wasting a river of wealth and not a penny saved.

...

Like some half-witted lottery winner who'd never checked their credit-card bills, Brown has squandered the lot.

...

(New Labour has) ended in catastrophe ... swamped by social breakdown... Yet there is a plush look about so many of those New Labour Party grandees who have prospered in the face of their appalling record."

When formally loyal Labour supporters such as Mike Molloy desert the political party they have supported and indeed helped to power, then you know that the time is up.


I believe that Mike Molloy gave, a certain, Alastair Campbell his break in journalism by employing him as a political journalist at The Mirror, I wonder if Alastair will now get back in touch. Maybe Mike Molloy should keep his eyes open and his windows firmly locked at his house on Culmington Road, just in case Alastair decides to pay him a visit.
