Never one to make excuses I take full responsibility for not achieving my goal of reaching the Top100 Conservative blogs list. I simply have not put enough effort into the blog during the year, I know that. The fact that I would rather look after my family in times of sickness is, I think something of a credit to human kindness, so perhaps I should’ve expected the absence of this blog in the list.

It’s odd because for so long now I have thought of Twitter as an extension to my blog when in reality my persona is on Twitter. What you read in my Tweets really is me. It is on twitter I live and breathe daily and it should be that the blog is an extension of Twitter. I can see now that I didn’t have my priorities round the wrong way but I believed that I did have.

This blog is not going anywhere and one day it may make that list but from today my priorities are being restated. I know I can do good with this blog and therefore it will continue to be satirical, truthful, blunt and sometimes downright good fun.

You see, during the General Election 2010 I was the 16th Most Influential Twitterer within the Political Arena. I was responsible for the 4th most used hashtag during the election #GE10. I was also responsible for #JohnPrescottsPhone so I know where my future lies, safely on Twitter with this blog right here to back my Tweets up when more than 140 characters is needed.

So, given that at January 1st this year I had less than 300 followers and that I set myself a target of 1000 by the night of #GE10 (achieved 36hrs early) I have now set myself the target of 1500 followers by the end of this month. This evening that meant 160 to go. It is a challenge and one that I am up for.

It is now my aim to concentrate ensuring the Twitter side of @Parlez_me_nTory reaches the maximum audience that it can. The first step is to increase the followers to 1500 once there the business plan will be written.

In 11 days time I embark on a year long course of study at the Royal Holloway University of London for my MSc in Information Security hoping to specialise in Information Crime but during that time and given moments of lucid study I shall be found amongst the pages of Twitter. I shall be out of my house at 5:30 daily not returning until 20:30 daily but I shall still be with you.

There is one other change that I have to announce and that is to enable me to fully concentrate on the Parlez_me_nTory I have to close my original Twitter account, the one that shares its name with this domain name @Wicksie Please do not follow this account if you are please feel free to unfollow with all haste. I wouldn’t wish the name to go to another user so when I work out how best to close but keep the name or account I shall.

I don’t wish to go the way of Mark Reckons who has closed his blog nor the way of Jack of Kent who has closed his Twitter account as I believe there is a way for both to exist in my circumstance.

So, all that is left for me to say at this point is IF you are NOT following me please consider doing so, IF you ARE following please consider spreading the word and IF you have BLOCKED me then you’re sadly missing out.

Today I undertook some serious spring cleaning which has involved moving the widgets (left hand side bar stuff) into a more agreeable order and removing the categories and placing them into a drop down menu. Part of the clean was to remove the R4 podcasts as they had very little outlinks.

One vital area of cleaning was the removal of the “RIGHT way to blog” blogroll. It has been replaced with Coalition, Opposition and Alternate and if you’re reading this and wish to be placed amongst the listed please let me know on @Parlez_me_nTory

One other area that changed today is that ALL new blog posts including this one are automatically pre-fixed with the Twitter hashtag of #BlogParlez – this will facilitate finding of all blog posts from within Twitter, this is something I believe that ALL bloggers should emulate for their readers benefit.

If you have any suggestions for further changes please get in touch as I would love to hear your views, thank you.

I received an amazing array of responses including “bringer of justice” – “open access” – “holder of integrity” – “freedom to intrude” – “to be corrosive”.

For myself, I was under the impression that to be a blogger it was about honesty and fairness, to rise above the gutter that the mainstream media inhabits so often.

I care not if you are reading this and thinking I am only writing this because William Hague is a Conservative, you’re wrong. This would have been written whoever the public figure was and my recent stance on Twitter would’ve remained the same that what Paul Staines has done has brought a bad stench on the world in which we bloggers inhabit.

I know not why Guido decided to go after Mr Hague and/or Mr Myers in such a fashion. I have shared my suspicion a number of times on Twitter and shall do so again in the next sentence.

I personally believe that Paul Staines was given a tip off from a past victim of his who is trying to ingratiate themselves with Guido. That tip off may have only been that the room was shared and an over eager imagination set to work.

I know not why I feel so strongly about this but perhaps it has something to do with the world that I feel so strongly about, the one with honesty and fairness has been badly sullied due to the actions of a once great activist.

I don’t have an issue with the premise of what Guido has done but I do have a major issue with the way in which he undertook his work, it is reminiscent of the gutter press at its very worst.

Perhaps he is obliged because he has column inches to fill, perhaps he is obliged because of the expectation that weighs on his shoulders, perhaps he’s stepped over the line of what it means to be a blogger?

Whilst content to write the post I thought it would carry much more weight and heartfelt concern if it came straight from the heart and therefore this post is courtesy of Carolyn Webster whom I am sure you will agree feels very passionately about this subject.

NHS Wales. In the care of whom?

I have pretty much relied on the NHS for my children.

One child was referred to Great Ormond Street hospital at 3 months old, she’s fine now. The other child will need the NHS for the rest of his life. His condition is not life limiting.

The medical staff and therapists in the NHS who have played such a vital role will continue to play that part for the rest of his, hopefully, long life.

It is due to this absolute dependency of the NHS that when I read an article posted by Aberdareonline posted WAG must not put NHS managers before nurses I was horrified.

To make mattes worse this information has barely received any media attention.

In Wales, the control over the NHS is devolved to the Welsh Assembly Government (WAG).

This means that out of our budget managed by the Labour/Plaid Administration (yes, Labour still hold a little power somewhere), not only do we get free prescriptions, but it seems that we can now afford to maintain a policy that protects the jobs and salaries of the Chief Executives and other directors of former NHS Wales Trusts (all previous trusts were amalgamated to form 11 trusts).

In the real world, there would have been a round of redundancies, and redundancy payments, a bit of Gardening Leave, maybe a leaving do. But no, these non-job holders get to keep their jobs and salaries for 10 years.

This is despite a WAG annual operating framework where Local Health Boards are instructed to make a 3% reduction of the workforce of those above a band 5 salary scale post every year for the next 3 years. Basically this directive means that over the next 3 years, 2000 nursing and midwifery posts are threatened.

But meanwhile those Chief Executives, whose roles were in effect made redundant are safe for another 10 years.

So, Senior Management. Which of you will step forward to help my son speak?

Which one of you will care for him after another medical procedure?

Which one will hold my hand as I cry at another hurdle faced by my son?

Come on. Who cares?

If you don’t know why I do this then read carefully.

Are you still clogging up the Twitter servers with #ff recommendations? Still shouting at the WhaleFail when as a result of your overuse of the #followfriday hashtag it appears all too often?

Why not think outside the box, harness the power of individual thought and step outside?

Henceforth from this moment explanations as to why a recommendation is made will not accompany a Political Tweep nor a SmileMaker Tweep as I believe they speak for themselves.

Got anything to say about why I issue these blog posts on a Friday? Do get in touch. Want to feature in next week’s blog post? Do interact.

Oh and have a great weekend.

It’s that time of the week again and after the week Twitter has had it is clear there is not enough capacity on those Twitter servers, therefore we should all being doing our very best to help them out.

Hence, if you read this post last week or this post today from @SpiderPlant88 aka Lisa, then you will understand the path and stance that I am taking.

BTW, Lisa’s addition is a good route to take and demonstrates how we can all have the power of individual thought!

If you wish me to follow you on Twitter the best way is to engage me in conversation or debate, I like reasoned people from all sides. I will not follow people simply because they follow me but again, simple interaction may be all that is required. After all, that is the big idea behind Twitter.

Similarly I will not issue a #ff simply on the basis that I was issued one by a Tweep but I am extremely grateful for all and every single #ff or #followfriday I receive. Once you understand my stance and rationale you will agree, I am sure that being selective will enhance the whole experience.

New rules:

1. Politics (as this is the reason for my existence on Twitter) will have 10 nominations per week, no more, no less. They will be a mix of Coalition, Opposition, Libertarian, Independent.

2. Smile Makers will have 5 nominations

3. Humour will have a single nomination

4. Newly Discovered Tweeps will have 2 nominations

5. Because I Want To will have a single nomination.

Once more into the breach…..

Politics (10)
If you are easily offended then why not run the gauntlet with @OboTheClown a pure Libertarian

Here’s a bit of a ménage à trois and really rather entertaining in the Political sphere @Political_Fun @James_Monk and @CateyMaxx

We have lacked something since Lady Thatcher left office so thankfully we now have @LadyHaylon

An everpresent and intellectually astute Tweep @eljmayes

Whatever the reason some people are just on the wrong side of the house, (IMO) but that doesn’t make them bad people, in fact, it is a good thing and promotes healthy debate hence one of my favourite Opposition Tweeps is the very lovely @Tchee

It should be noted that there are amongst others quite a number of nice Opposition members ;o) and this week I shall include both @SamCellis and @MattJNewman in those ranks who are always civil and utterly friendly

Last but most certainly not least this week in this bracket we have @AliBulger who desperately needs a lock on his Political chambers!

Smile Makers (5)
The sole reason I started this blog and still my favourite Yorkshire lass @CaroleHarry

Following a brief recollection of Floyd’s Brick in the wall this morning I have to thank @PhilipCMeyer (who’s planning his “field” trip to Pilton) for uplifting my mind today

You can choose your friends but not your family, sometimes that’s a good thing as you may not choose the right family. I am proud to nominate my father @WicksieSnr in this bracket this week following his 50th Wedding Anniversary last Saturday

A few months ago I was surprised to find myself enjoying BBC Question Time with Richard Madeley as a guest. I’ve always quite liked Richard but I was impressed at how “on the ball” he was in his perception of current affairs and Politics hence he is a firm follow that I recommend to you via @richardm56 in the knowledge he will at some stage share a nugget of wisdom that will make you smile

Whilst This Tweep could fit into a number of other areas within this post @NeilWigg is safely in the smile maker bracket today as his honesty and refreshing Tweets help amongst the mud slinging that sadly goes on within Twitter

Humour (1)
Without a shadow of a doubt you will smile at least once a day courtesy of @TheKeithChegwin (yes, it really is Cheggers)

Newly Discovered Tweeps (2)
Some rather entertaining discussions this week regarding The Chicken Song with @CarolynAWebster

Following an incredible F1 race in Canada and an exchange of “related” topics I am pleased to be following @bnzss though it should be noted he “could” fit into the Political arena under Libertarian

Because I Want To (1)
In my past life I interviewed an incredibly intelligent and fascinating man, the man who brings science down to the human level; the first man since Johnny Ball to do that. It is no surprise that @slsingh is also an incredibly talented author

Didn’t feature this week? Please don’t be offended, it is always going to be hard selecting only 19 recommendations but interact and you never know what’s around the corner…

Personally I love it what it brings and the people it brings to my account, I love the interaction and the possible glimpse into another’s timeline and the resulting success it may bring. What I don’t love is the laborious way in which we basically have to write every Friday off in favour of the #ff hashtag.

This Friday I propose to change how we or I at least do business via the #ff tag and it is my aim to blog a post that will contain the usernames of those that I have discussed with during the previous week, debating partners, considered intelligentsia of the political world (whatever flavour), this post will remain active henceforth until the next one supersedes it the following week.

What will this bring us? Well, for a start it will reduce the burden on the twitter servers, it will stop our timelines clogging up and it will allow all of us to do the right thing.

Exciting times are ahead with the Queen’s speech, Cameron’s 500 day plan and the Labour leadership bids beginning to take shape and some already faltering.

So, just as soon as I can I shall be back, thank you.

“It’s a huge honour and privilege to be appointed as Minister of State for Housing and I very much look forward to getting down to the issues of state.

“It’s a role I feel very comfortable in and well prepared for, having shadowed the brief for three years, facing four different housing ministers in that time.

“I look forward to continuing and developing my relationships with the industry and feel sure that our new Government will be able to make genuine improvements to the housing industry which has suffered so badly under 13 years of Labour Government.”

Essentially there will be 3 main areas COALITION – OPPOSITION – OTHERS

If you would like to be included please DM @Parlez_me_nTory with the address of your blog and the area you believe you fit in.

If I do not currently follow you on Twitter please engage and interact, all but a handful of times I will follow and continue a discussion then you can DM for consideration.

Thank you.

Well, I don’t think we are even anywhere near to examining what went right or wrong, that should be a process we undertake as an ongoing task throughout the life of this Parliament and throughout the next 3 or 4 years.

Yesterday, Gordon Brown did something that finally made the nation proud, his very dignified exit from No10.

This is a very historic moment with the Conservatives working together with the Liberal Democrats and a fixed term Parliament. VERY historic.

What I do feel as my responsibility though and that of my fellow bloggers and tweeters is a duty to be honest. A duty to tell it like it is, warts and all.

PLEASE let’s not go the way of so many on the LEFT whilst they were crumbling and bury our heads in the sand. Stand up and say if you think something is wrong. Stand up and let the Government know if you feel they have fundamentally got an issue wrong or overlooked something.

We won the race in the bloggersphere hands down and that was partly due to our ability to be forward thinking and critical of the Government whilst still taking our own side to task. I put it to you this morning PLEASE DON’T STOP, DON’T LOSE THAT FREEDOM.

Stick to those principles and I am sure this Government will not just deliver but also return a majority Government within the full term of this Parliament.

Our Prime Minister

We, as you have worked our bollocks off and quite rightly the result is correct, Thank you Dave and thank you Samantha.

Interesting to note not only does my hashtag of #ge10 appear the 4th most used. But that Parlez_me_nTory is listed 16th out of the top 30 well ahead of @JohnPrescott – @BevaniteEllie and @BBCLauraK

Ah, happy days indeed. Now then, let’s transfer this euphoria into a reality and get some semblance of order back into British Politics!

Labour could yet come out of this whole fiasco smelling of roses and still save Britain!

If Labour refuse to do a pact with the Liberal Democrats at the same time as the Conservatives refuse to do a pact with them this will put Nick The Arrogant squarely back in his place having missed the only boat they will ever be offered.

Labour have already set the ball rolling to replace their leader, if they allow a Conservative minority Government and assist by voting the Queen’s speech through they can, [almost] legitimately stand for Election in 10 months time on a mandate of CHANGE and FRESH FOCUS.

I personally think if that were the case the Conservatives would still be returned with a working majority and I am ready for that challenge.

Can we count on the Labour Party doing the right thing for the country?

When the next General Election is called, Labour will say look at us, we are progressive, we have worked with the Liberals for 4 months we have a new leader, a new focus and new energy to guide Britain through this rough time (forgetting they caused the rough time) then they will say look at them, the Tories, that Cameron he lost a General Election.

Dave, pack up your things and prepare to move into No10, the Conservatives need to move to form a minority Government in the face of the underhandedness by Nick The Arrogant who clearly cannot be trusted.

None of this is reality but it is what will become Labour reality if this all pans out. Whatever happens this is a VERY bad day for democracy in this country.

Yes, the Conservative Party gained a majority but not a working overall majority. There are polls and arguments going on in every Party at every level as to why each Party failed to do better, this should be apparent more in the Lib Dems than any other Party but it is not, at least not just yet.

Labour claim they want AV but only because it favours them. Lib Dems claim they want PR but only because it favours them. We, are content with FPTP but it does not favour us, if we change boundaries and make each constituency the same size then that will favour us. but, we are where we are and it is sadly FPTP that got us in this position.

Now then, the Lib Dems had a crap night on Thursday there are no two ways about it but they had a great morning on Friday because it allows them to hide their dreadful performance at #ge10.

It is now the Lib Dems who hold the card, not much of one but just enough to determine who may or who may not lead the next Government. But all of a sudden Nick Clegg has become rather arrogant.

He is almost holding the British electorate to ransom, pretending to scrutinise what is on offer from both the Conservatives and Labour Parties. He talks of a deal in the coming days, he talks of needing further details yet he talks of doing what is right for the nation.

I want a Conservative Government but I don’t want the David Cameron to sell the Party down the line and I don’t believe he will. What I don’t want is some arrogant jumped up two-bit player getting off telling journalists, MP’s and the electorate that he is taking his time.

Nick, either step up to the mantel, make that statement and right now I don’t care if you go Lab/Lib or Con/Lib, I want a Conservative Government but I don’t want one so badly as to have to bow to you.

We,ve already said
Goodbye
Since you gotta go, oh you’d better
Go now go now, go now (Go now)
Before you see me cry
I don’t want you to tell me just what you intend to do now
‘Cause how many times do I have to tell you darlin’, darlin’
I’m still in love with you now
Whoa-oh-oh-oh

We’ve already said
So long
I don’t wanna see you go, oh you’d better
Go now go now, go now (Go now)
Don’t you even try
Tellin’ me that you really don’t want it to end this way
‘Cause darlin’, darlin’, can’t you see I want you to stay
Yeah, yeah

Since you gotta go, oh you’d better
Go now go now, go now (Go now)
Before you see me cry
I don’t want you to tell me just what you intend to do now
‘Cause how many times do I have to tell you darlin’, darlin’
I’m still in love still in love with you now
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
I don’t wanna see you go but darlin’, you better go now

Dave offers a comprehensive package offering Nick the chance to get many of his policies on the agenda.

How will it pan out? In my mind Brown will seal the deal with Nick who cannot see through the lies and subterfuge. Brown and Clegg will seal a deal, stitch up the Conservative Party and the final sweetener will be Brown to stand down with D Miliband to takeover as PM.

Britiain then faces another 5 years of an unelected leader of the ruling party and a decidedly dodgy Government that will only be challenged when the truth of how bad the books are in about 3 years time.

I fear it will be a sad day and the man who deserves to be PM may never get there.

Exit Poll for Brown

#enoughsaid

We have canvassed, canvassed and then canvassed some more, delivered, delivered and then delivered until the letterboxes made our fingers bleeds. Today was always going to be one last final push and what a day it has been.

At every turn of almost every corner within Frome I have seen a Lib Dem foot soldier reminding me why we are going at this constituency so very strong and so very hard, no chance to rest, no desire to rest only a desire to see what is right for this constituency and what is (at least in my opinion) right for this country, a Conservative Government.

I reside in #somertonandfrome the 5th largest constituency in the country some 900 square miles. We are currently represented in Parliament by David Heath (Lib Dem), the problem we have is that he has in the words of many town folk done an “ok” job, not spectacular, not great but just “ok”. Trouble is though, that is all that is needed to allow an incumbent to achieve success in such a tight marginal.

Tonight, or rather at 3am when the count is announced in Yeovil we require a swing of just 0.56% to turn blue. We are only 814 votes behind, again though, we are hampered. The Labour vote in Frome is non-existent and the local candidate has all but ordered his following to vote Lib Dem, so that’s another potential 5000 votes and that would surely throw us back again.

I am very proud of my PPC Annunziata Rees-Mogg and as she can attest I am fiercely loyal but always play with a straight bat, I hate underhandedness, I hate spiteful politics, I despise playground politics (something I hope my twitter following will also attest to).

Annunziata has done a wonderful job on the campaign and in truth she’s got much better legs than David Heath. I know just how much effort this lady has put into her constituency and CCHQ should be very proud of her too and should the results go the right way this lady will make a first rate MP.

I just wish to register my gratitude to the Conservative Party both locally and nationally for a first rate, totally clean and extremely positive campaign in the face of much adversity.

If the country ends up with a hung Parliament it will be just like Suggs and Madness sang, tomorrow’s just another day. However, should the Conservatives gain a working majority then it will be very much a Nina Simone moment

Its a new dawn, its a new day, its a new life for me
yeah, its a new dawn its a new day its a new life for me ooooooooh
AND I’M FEELING GOOD

Whichever colour you have fought for in #ge10 providing you have fought fair you have my appreciation and respect.

Finally, please spare a thought for Nigel Farage and his family and that of the pilot.

This is one activist who will now be sitting with some good Shiraz, a curry and the prospect of an all-nighter in front of the news.

This is not a blog post contributed by some fanatical (can’t see the wood for the trees) grass rootist, this is not an anti-Government or anti-Labour rant, no, this is the genuine, honest account of a hard working, take nothing for nothing British worker who has seen good times and bad times. A contribution by a man who has never earned over £12k in any given year in his entire life, owns his own home, has never sat back and demanded that society owes him or his family anything yet who has everything he needs.

This is a contribution that I am proud to host this morning as I truly believe it shows how so many people on the streets of Britain are thinking and feeling this morning. If you enjoy this contribution (whether you feel you agree or not please consider using one of the “share this” buttons at the foot of the post, if you only use Twitter there is one specifically for that too).

Finally, this contribution is unedited in any way save for one small spelling error as I feel I at least owe that much to the contributing author, my father, Alan Wicks.

My life as a Tory

My introduction to politics came when I was fairly young, my parents (in particular my Mother) were staunch Conservatives, as a result of which, when I was about 10/11 years old I would be found outside the polling station at election time “telling” for the Tories (Although Tories was considered a bit of an insult then when it was really known then as the Conservative and Unionist Party).

I would be “telling” from the opening of the polls, which in those days was much earlier, before heading off to school. After school on Polling Day I would go with my Parents to the Party Committee Rooms at the bottom of our road to help record those voters we knew had voted and chase up those who had still to vote.

These were days when everyone knew very few people who owned a motor vehicle, but those supporters and activists who did own a car would volunteer to drive the elderly and infirm to the polling stations to cast their vote. Although young, I can still remember attending the “Count” at Hornsey Town Hall and cheering the result when our candidate won.

The first Election I can really remember was when Sir David Gammon was up against the Labour Candidate R.A.Pestell, in 1952 when Sir David won with a vote of 36,417 vs 25,643, Out of an electorate of 75,131 there was an 82.6% turnout (unlike the apathy of today) giving Sir David a majority of 17.36% (OK, I do not remember the figures which I have obtained today from the internet, but I do remember him winning).

I can recall him coming into the committee rooms whilst I was there and coming over to speak with me, being the youngest person there.

When Sir David died he was succeeded in his post by his wife Lady Muriel Gammon.

I always voted Conservative for the rest of my life when I voted in a General Election or ByElection, but not always did I manage to get to the polling stations. When Margaret Thatcher became PM I was obviously very happy and expected good things for the future, and in general I was not dissapointed, I agreed with most of her policies but must admit to being disappointed that she was not able to implement all of them.

I still feel that the Principles behind the “Poll tax” was a lot fairer than either the previous “Rates” or current “Council Tax”, something I know will probably upset a lot of people, even fellow Tories, but there again, I am talking about “principles” behind the concept which was not necessarily recognized by everyone.

By the time Tony Blair and New Labour won the right to govern I must admit to being secretely a little relieved because there had been so much infighting within the Tory Party and so much reported sleaze that I felt it was good that they would have a short period to regroup, fully expecting Labour to fail within a couple of years, therefore giving us a chance to regain power.

Blair’s claim of an open government, no sleaze etc sounded good, but it soon become obvious that sleaze is only something that is practiced by the ruling party, at least, it is normally only the ruling party that gets the stick for it, if it is the Opposition party it tends to be overlooked, unless there is a pending election.

Anyway, I was getting more and more frustrated with the way Labour was completely changing our lives, controlling everything we do and making more and more things illegal, without even properly consulting with us that I was absolutely overjoyed when I discovered that my youngest son had applied to CCHQ to become a PPC.

I had never to my knowledge pressurised him in any direction regarding Politics or Religion, I believed my kids should follow their heart and I would support them in their beliefs, even if it differed with my own, it at least meant they were making sensible judgements of their own and not being pressurised into their opinions.

We had never, as far as I can remember had any serious political discussions so I was extremely supportive of his ambitions.

I was disapointed when he was turned down due to the volume of applicants on this occasion, and slightly relieved at the same time when I realised what it could cost him financialy at this particular time in his life, but I know he is determined and he is planning on following his heart and applying again in the future and he will have my 100% support.

I said earlier that I had always voted Tory in major elections, though I must admit on a couple of local elections I have voted Independent rather than follow the party line if I knew the Independent candidate and believed they would be the best person for the job irrespective of my Conservative beliefs.

I have also worked with the Liberals (pre LibDem days) in a local dispute, something I started and they tried to jump in, I was happy for their support, but they certainly did not ask for or gain any voting support from me.

I firmly believe that this country is now in a terrible state and that we desperately need a change for the future and that the Tories are the only Party that can give us this.

OK, I know there is going to be a long period of real Pain in order to recover our position in the world, but there is at last a chance of a light at the end of the tunnel, when Britain can once again be great, we can be proud of our once great nation and we can prosper, our kids will once again be properly educated, our businesses will prosper, bringing employment opportunities to nearly everyone and our streets will be safe to walk once more.

And finally, when we hear someone say “Trust me, I am a politician” we can believe and trust in them.

That said, however, it is Friday and you can damn well wait until tomorrow unless I feel benevolent….it’s great to be back.
