Lib Dems borrow from history for longest slogan in election history

Lib Dems launch ‘Feel sorry for us’ Wallander election campaign

Well, not really.
Here’s the guff I put in the extended notes on YouTube:
“The Lib Dems are eerily silent. Things are looking as bleak as the Wallander scenery. The Tories and Labour are pumping out the advertising and seem to be getting all the coverage (but maybe for all the wrong reasons).
Never mind, here’s a little video for Nick Clegg’s followers which they can use to promote themselves in an understated and ‘feel sorry for me’ kind of way.
Inspired by the Wallander credits. The lyrics ‘my knuckles bleed down the tattered street, on a door that shouldn’t be in front of me.” seem to fit the despair of door-to-door canvassing for the election**.
**May be absolute bullshit.
An acquired taste methinks but I quite like it.

Lib Dem Conference Bournemouth

I’ve been a bit under the weather for the past few days (not self-inflicted) so apologies for no new images.
I’ve just realised amongst all the other news – The Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, the Tory conference lapdance scandal etc. etc. that the Lib Dems are currently holding a conference so I’ve put an old flash file onto video and uploaded to YouTube.
With the plethora of video packages around and their constant relaunching of new versions, it seems possible to make basic videos using trial software and spending nothing these days but I reckon I will take the plunge and buy the new Ulead offering…..eventually.
Converting an old flash file does limit what can be done (unable to animate certain elements until they come to rest) but I hope you’ll put up with the animation’s and my inadequacies.

Oh, and well done to Glasvegas on reaching No. 2 in this week’s album charts with their first album and a fine one it is too.
A few of us at the local pub are grateful to Glasvegas songwriter and lead singer James Allan whose presence at the Crown and Goose a few weeks ago ensured the pub didn’t close as early as the management initially planned.
We’re planning on digging up the corpse of Hattie Jacques next week, standing her in the corner of the pub and telling the management that Beth Ditto’s popped in for a late night drink. That should keep it open for a while.

After Ensuring he is a Shoe-in For a By-Election, David Davis Resigns on Principle

Nick Clegg agrees to abandon Lib Dem voters in Haltemprice and Howden to support (edit) Conservatives’ and/or David Davis’ publicity campaign on 42 days.

For those relatively new to the site who may be wondering where my new version of the Lib-Dem bird came from, view this video which I put together while Chris Huhne and Nick Clegg were battling it out over who was going to replace Menzies Campbell :

Nick Clegg is New Lib Dem Leader

I may as well repost this then.
EDIT – Currently badly rated by one Lib Dem supporter who has now suggested that I delete the video and kill myself.
I am crushed.
