Feeling like a disenfranchised northerner marooned in the leafy south east, I guess I'll toddle off home any minute for me tea of tripe and black pudding sandwiches! If the Missus is home we might watch a bit of telly if we've enough money for the lecky meter. Here's the result in full:
Tonbridge and Malling
- Tom Tugendhat (Con) 31,887
- Rob Izzard (Ukip) 8,153
- Claire Leigh (Lab) 7,604
- Mary Varrall (Lib Dem) 3,660
- Howard Porter (Green) 2,366

There are some in Tonbridge that struggle to put cash in the Lecky Meter and food on the table. I doubt whether the new MP with his uncle the lord and father the top high court judge, has ever been in that position.
What a colossal lurch to the right and far right. Now without a coalition partner to temper brutal policies, Mr Osborne has a clear run to take the state back to the values of the 1930s.
Oh, and is it ironic or chilling that on VE day more than 8000 residents of Tonbridge voted for our version of the front national. Simple solutions, summary justice, persecution of minorities, strong man government.
Who will they come for first?
The Rt Hon Mr Tugendhat can look forward to a long secure political career regardless of what he actually does. A donkey with the Conservative nomination could get elected for T&M, let's hope one hasn't been!
TBlog would normally stay off politics but obviously there's a few of you out there with strong views so keep em coming...
Obviously, the 31000 plus people who voted Tory are confident that they will never become unemployed or disabled, or need to use the NHS, or send their children or grandchildren to state schools. I dread to think what damage will have been done to these services after five years of Tory privatisation. A very sad day for those of us who care for society as a whole, rather than self interest and profit.
I’m not sure if there are two different people posting anonymously here, or whether they’re one and the same.
Have the courage of your convictions and post with a name; even if it’s a nom de plume! Don’t worry; they won’t come for the likes of you!!
Can we be sure of that? There are nearly 32000 of them (40000, if you count the UKIP voters). Safer to remain anonymous!
my nom de plume is Anonymous!
“I’m Spartacus”, “I’m Spartacus”, “No, I’m Spartacus”.
For those old enough to remember the film!
