WHAT a bore this election campaign has been. I think Mr Howard could have saved a lot of money by not employing that fellow from Australia.

What a mess they made of things.

If Mr Howard wanted to lambast Tony Blair, he should have got in touch with Claire Short and Glenda Jackson because the venom these two have for Mr Blair is rancid anyway.

But the way his campaign has gone has put more Liberal Democrats sitting on the fence complaining about those making decisions.

Because they know they can promise all sorts of things, knowing full well they don't have to deliver.

So my thoughts are that Mr Howard should send the fellow he employed for £250,000, back to Mr Howard in Australia.
