There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

What? Why the hell did they let him in?The former Conservative deputy chairman also confirmed he had rejoined two local party associations
Aside from the fact that he's a lying scumbag, don't the Tory party realise all he does is drag their partys name through mud?

Re: Geoff Archer says he will vote in Lords.
So he might vote on prison reform .
Isn't he under criminal investigation over that coup plot with Mark Thatcher ?
Surely that means there is a conflict of interests issue in any vote about prison .
What? Why the hell did they let him in?
You answer your own question Suribachi.....
he's a lying scumbag .....he fits right in .
Then again , he should move over here, they would probably give him a cabinet position .
Re: Geoff Archer says he will vote in Lords.
The way things are in the UK at the moment, he'd do well in the cabinet. Lying liars the lot of 'em.You answer your own question Suribachi.....

Heh, he's better than Blair, he's just not slimy enough to avoid getting caught, he writes good books too.

*spits out coffee*he writes good books too.
I can't believe Archer hasn't been somehow stripped of his peerage by now. It really is rather embarrassing.

Thats the really annoying thing, that though he may be pondlife, his books are actually rather good (not that I'd line his pockets by buying any these days).Originally Posted by Wigferth Ironwall
Thankfully, T.Blair and the rest of New Labour have shown us that its not just Conservatives who stick their snouts in the trough when they're in power. Crikey, it took em all of 2 weeks in office to show that. "Why, Mr Ecclestone, two million pounds seems to have fallen out of your pocket"

Re: Geoff Archer says he will vote in Lords.
Local Conservative Party Associations are almost entirely independent of central control. The leadership is pretty powerless. Most of these associations are made up of ninety-year old dowagers that Lord Archer can charm. They don't much care about the party at national level.
@Wigferth: Only The Queen can strip someone of a peerage as you suggest, and then only after a protracted process. The good old days of attainder and execution are long past.
In the US, convicted felons can't even vote. In the UK, they're allowed to run the country.

I had to firmly request the young rascal Jeffrey to be quiet at Stratford last year during a Shakepeare performance. Sat just behind me and some friends the dunce was constantly wittering to his wife, asking her what was going on. She seemed just as annoyed with him as the rest of us.
