Apparently having a sauna with David Farrier was just too much for the party to handle.

Double post but according to Paddy Gower, Colin Craig is being ousted at the Conservative board meeting tomorrow.

E: Of all the weird and wonderful poo poo he did, apparently it was the sauna with David Farrier that has his party pissed enough to chuck him

Dear Mr Cave, if you do not release the bats we will be forced to take legal action
They kicked him out but now they've gotta come up with Colin's money every week, no matter what. No more sugar daddy funding the party? gently caress you, pay me. Oh, your comically evil looking conservative castle burnt down? gently caress you, pay me. You can't get more than ten people to come to your events, huh? gently caress you, pay me.

This is the death of the party. The only reason it got any oxygen was because of Craig's wacky antics.

I know you aren't supposed to judge a book by it's cover and all those other bullshit platitudes, yet this always seems to happen. You can tell the guy is a tremendous piece of poo poo straight away, you just don't know why.

I dunno, I always got the impression that he was a simple man trying to hold onto a simple world. Evil through stupidity, I mean, rather than evil through greed. To each his own though.

Well Id just thought Id say I appreciated it and life is pretty sweet and I am employed about as much as the rest of my peers - that being quite precariously and pretty low paid - but holding it down and staying healthy.
