Here is a line direct from my pre-election post on Tuesday:
"Partly because of greed and partly because of fear created in the press, by Thursday, I guarantee that the electorate will sway to the perceived safety of our masters in the Conservative Party because, by nature, Britain is, in 2015, still addicted to serfdom."

The reaction to this was quite remarkable, with over two and a half thousand "likes" in response to it. This was the most publicity I have had regarding a post since I wrote something about Vladimir Putin and the Ukraine and before that, when I got harassed by an aid of Tory MP Caroline ...
