A BPIX poll for The Mail on Sunday puts the Conservative lead over 
Labour at 14 points - a wider gap than recent surveys, which has put 
the Tory advantage in single figures. The Conservatives are on 45 per 
cent, Labour on 31 and the Liberal Democrats on 13. The latest BPIX 
poll two weeks ago showed a Tory lead of 16 points   [BPIX are too

Sarky canard has Poles going south
There are winners and losers in all games including, it seems, the 
credit crunch.  Who are the winners?  French president Nicholas 
Sarkozy has an idea.     According to the French satirical newspaper, 
Le Canard Enchainé , he told European Commission president, Jose 
Manuel Barroso, : "There are just three big winners in this cris - 
you, me and Gordon Brown.  The biggest losers ?  The Poles and Angela 
Merkel"  [Squelch! -cs]  (Sunday Telegraph Dashwood column  2/11/08 )

"When he defected from the Conservatives to the Labour party, Shaun 
Woodward, the richest MP in the Commons, accused the Tories of having 
a "them and us" attitude. Perhaps he had forgotten h is jibe when he 
flew to Marrakesh with 50 of his friends last weekend to celebrate 
his 50th birthday. On the day when it was confirmed that Britain was 
entering a recession and ministers were urging restraint, the 
Northern Ireland secretary embarked on a three-night extravaganza 
amid the exotic passages and spice-laden souks of Marrakesh." -

Another day, more government lost data - Sky News
"Ministers have been forced to order an emergency shutdown of a key 
Government computer system to protect millions of people's private 
details. The action was taken after a memory stick was found in a pub 
car park containing confidential passcodes to the online Government 
Gateway system, which covers everything from tax returns to parking 
tickets. An urgent investigation is now under way into how the stick, 
belonging to the company which runs the flagship system, came to be 
lost." - (Mail on Sunday  2.11.08)
