Keswick's Labour Club closed down a few months ago and is now up for sale.



Let's hope that the voters of Keswick, and the rest of the enlarged Copeland constituency, make this picture of the former Keswick Labour Club a metaphor for the end of Labour hegemony in Copeland.

And today, from 7.00 am to 10.00 pm, is your chance to do so.

You do not need your polling card to vote, just turn up at your polling station with some ID. If you have a postal vote and have not yet returned it, you can hand it in at a polling station up to 10.00 pm tonight.


If you want to put the biggest possible rocket into the Labour establishment in West Cumbria, vote for change today by voting Conservative.

If you want to let every politician in the Copeland constituency, from Millom to Distington and from St Bees to Keswick, know that there is no such thing as a "safe seat," vote for change today by voting Conservative.

If you want to avoid a hung parliament, vote for change today by voting Conservative.

If you want a different Prime Minister, vote for change today by voting Conservative.

If you want a positive start towards fixing Britain's broken society, broken politics, and broken economy, vote for change today by voting Conservative.

Presumably, Keswick Labour club was a business. I thought the Tory party was the friend of business ? To gloat over the demise of such a business seems totally hypocritical.

"If you want a positive start towards fixing Britain's broken society, broken politics, and broken economy, vote for change today by voting Conservative."

Remember, "there's no such thing as society"

As someone who lives in an area of perpetual Tory council control, Guess what ? There are huge craters in most roads, the area is strewn with rubbish and petty crime and vandalism are rife.

Can Shameron fix it ? NO ! he is a total waste of oxygen and a total waste of DNA.

You have your view and I have mine, but I hope I would never describe another human being as a waste of oxygen and DNA.

Keswick labour club was trampled into the ground by it's own members who were only concerned about what they could gain from it's closure! There was nothing anybody could have done!

Nick Herbert on his visit to flood hit areas of Cumbria

Please note that the post below was published more than ten year ago on 21st November 2009 Nick Herbert MP, shadow cabinet member for the Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs, was in Cumbria this morning to see the areas affected by the flooding. He writes on Conservative Home about his visit. Here is an extract. I’ve been in Cumbria today to see the areas affected by the floods. I arrived early in Keswick where I met officials from the Environment Agency. Although the river levels had fallen considerably and homes were no longer flooded, the damage to homes had been done. And the water which had got into houses wasn’t just from the river – it was foul water which had risen from the drains. I talked to fire crews who were pumping flood water back into the river, and discovered that they were from Tyne & Wear and Lancashire. They had been called in at an hours’ notice and had been working on the scene ever since, staying at a local hotel. You cannot fail to be impressed by the

"Wise men profit more from fools than fools from wise men; for the wise men shun the mistakes of fools, but fools do not imitate the successes of the wise."  ( Cato the Elder , who lived 234 BC - 149 BC, quoted in "Lives" by Plutarch.) There is a similar saying by Germany's Iron Chancellor, Otto von Bismarck: Benjamin Franklin is supposed to have put the same saying in a more humorous form: "Wise men profit by the mistakes of others, while fools will not learn even from their own blunders." See also this thread on the "Quote Investigator" website . Let us all be wise and learn from the events of the last few days.

Quote of the day 24th July 2020

I was moved to put the passage below forward as a quote today when I saw a horrible post on twitter from someone writing that it was "excellent" that someone who took a different view from her about Brexit had died. I won't write which way round it was so that all the Remain supporters can assume the post was from a Brexit fanatic welcoming the death of a remainer and all the Leavers can assume it was a Remainiac welcoming one less Brexiteer. There's been plenty of nasty stuff on both sides but if you catch anyone of your own viewpoint  posting something like that who might listen to you, please do call them out on it - and point out that they're giving everyone on your side of the argument a bad name. Anyway, here's the quote from John Donne.
