Yes they seem to be using the "no reply" route to any awkward questions. Mine refused to write back to me about the few questions I had over his expenses a few months ago.

I shan't be so "tight lipped" in the polling booth.

Could'nt agree more and this is coming from a (once upon a time,until Cameron showed his face) lifelong Tory voter.

Same boat for me. However, I'm torn between Lib Dem and voting tory just to prevent a labour win.

Interesting you should say that. I e-mailed my MP regarding the 10% tax rate. Not only did I get an e-mail back but also a letter. Maybe they are using a wall of silence as some sort of plan to win the election.

Mr Brown said: "I will not allow house prices to get out of control and put at risk the sustainability of the future." He said he was determined that the UK should not return to the "instability, speculation and negative equity" of the 1980s and 1990s.

Hmmmmmmm indeed - anyway, he probably thought you were an eejit.

What choice have we got? The idiots in the Tories or the idiots in Labour - its a tuff choice. Id like to vote for lib dems but I dont think they would be any different if they ever get in. Once in, promises are forgotten, pockets are lined and no fear of losing your pension or having a poor future.

Brown was caught last week spinning statistics by using different recording methods to conclude a favourable outcome :-

Stating immigration was down, when it may or may not been, depending upon which sets of data you use and how you use them.

and also an advertising campaign about "The Policing Pledge" has been banned by the ASA for telling mistruths :-

Apparently, EVERYONE KNOWS that when the advert refers to police "on the beat", that "on the beat" means not just "walking a beat" but also sitting back at the station all day filling out forms and attending seminars. Plus, the statistics used were only representative, not countrywide to further make it look like there millions of coppers on the street. When they aren't.

Tut Tut.

How on earth can he say immigration is down when they admitted they dont even know the numbers.

If the 80% of the police time was to be spent on the beat, which included in the office, what do they do for the other 20% then?

Poor use of statistics.

89.768% of all statistics are made up.
