Eric Pickles talks about the campaign in Crewe and Nantwich

[Albert18264]

Take a pair of this fat bastards underpants along with a telegraph pole and a thousand tent pegs , fix the telegraph pole in a field and stretch this fat fucks pants over the pole and secure his skids into the ground with the tent pegs , what you end up with is a giant tepee that could house at least five hundred people .

[jrobertsoneff]

He would play a good part in Oliver Twist.

The Labour Party is vile

[entrenchedincontempt]

I like Eric Pickles, his delivery is soft and firm. Yet, what I find

interesting about Crewe is that they aren't really indigenous English people are they? They are effectively immigrants as a whole. I went there once, and was surprised to see how negroid/Asain and Eastern "cheap" blocked they looked.

It seems strange that a bunch of aliens should moan about a stream of immigrants, when they are clearly alien themselves.

[bugland23]

He's not very 'political' in the classic sense, his performance on Question Time last week really showed up his ineptitude. I hope Cameron keeps him on, he's a real election liability.

[LeamingtonSteve]

this idiot really showed himself up last night on Question Time saying that he has to claim expenses on a second London Home as he has to get to work on time- another with his nose in the trough!

[dragonlee90]

Eric Pickles is so cool. He's one of my favourite of the Shadow Cabinet. He's a proper Yorkshireman!

[Mafiawl]

I don't think Kevinleslieedge knows a lot. This country provides excellent adult education colleges so all is not lost.

[ttchew]

He gave me my prize at prize giving at my school when I was 11 in year 6! lol

[ppaulmorris]

He seems a nice person.

[Spectators99]

Lardy a**

[tangkamsam]

these guys are so fat

[warlordwhyaye]

Scrap the FSA Eric and free this country from the Gestapo quango's.

[Spectators99]

who ate all the pies

[stephenjosal08]

1'st time in 30 years! So for the past 30 years we've all instinctively known your all a shower of cnuts!

[MrNiceGuy53]

Canute also known as Cnut in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles (Old Norse: Knútr inn ríki, Norwegian: Knut den mektige, Swedish: Knut den Store, Danish: Knud den Store) (died November 12, 1035) was a Viking king of England. His successes as a statesman, politically and militarily, and his status among medieval Europe's magnates shown by the concessions he won in diplomacy with the Pope and the Holy Roman Emperor, often lead modern historians to call him the 'Emperor of the North' Cameron the next Cnut.

[amirali1]

don't be so silly mr pickles.

the conservatives have no real policies, its all sound bites and meaningless jargon.

Gordon Brown is a legend :)

[MrNiceGuy53]

Gordon is a legend? I don't think so.

I was so upset that I cried all the way to the chip shop.

When I came out there was Gordon standing at the bus stop, And guess who was with him Yeah David Milliband and they were both laughing at me. Oh, they're cruel and heartless to steal my pension, Just cos he's better looking than me, just cos he's cool and trendy but I know he's a moron, Gordon is a moron, Gordon is a moron, Gordon is a moron.

(Nothing changes, apologies to Jilted John 1978)

[stephenjosal08]

yeah i ought to smash his face in! Yeah but he's bigger than me innee?

[amirali1]

urggggh

that was poor

u donut

[palkom13]

what horrible propaganda concerning unsocial behaviour by the labour pary

[stephenjosal08]

Hello David, so do tell us about your plans to abolish the tax credits for the lowest paid workers in society and give us tax cuts for the rich! eh David? Cnut! C'mon. Do stand up and tell us! 'You can get it if you really want...but you must try..try.. c'mon Dave.

[stephenjosal08]

I see you've done your homework. You daft cnut!

[stephenjosal08]

'emperor of the north' that'll be the day

[THEJOLLYROGER1877]

Hello to everyone who talks on these pages, just want to know are you all members of the Conserative party? Iam just a normal guy of the street I want to vote labour out of power because I Dont know how most people feel but I feel betrayed and it feels like there is a black cloud over the country and would prefer to vote for the British National Party or the Lib Dems but if i do its a wasted vote and I want a change, i want to know will I feel let down in the future again if I vote for you?

[doubts]

YOU CAN GET IT IF YOU REALLY WANT .....

OK

I want Labour with its morality back.

Alan Johnson/Hilary benn as leader. Unless!!!.... Dave can convince me of his policies to help solve the obscene levels of inequality and poverty in the UK. Just some honesty on what he would do and how much he wants to achieve would be a start! Timeframes/targets to help solve things?

[doubts]

Shameful Labour campaign. Just as bad as the tories mid 90`s. Just a word of caution though. People like Pickles hated the idea of a minimum wage. Im not sure that these tories give a damn about the poorest in society. Where are the policies to tackle child poverty. Come on Dave.. if you really want to convince people, where are your policies to shift a bit of that wealth away from the city. [believe me.. a vote winner for you, but not for brown]

[itsmac5]

It is clear that after eleven years in office this Labour government are acting in exactly the same manner as their previous spells in office. They tax everyone to the hilt, distribute some of the proceeds to their own supporters and completely waste the rest. The simple difference this time is that they had Blair as their leader lying convincingly to the electotate.

Now that he's gone ( thankfully ) we are left with Gordon Brown: the man with all the charisma of a demented traffic warden....

[cumeada]

Well done Eric - you would be very welcome in our 'Independent' Durham Weardale where Conservatives are just beginning to show their strengths -

[fleetie1]

Pickles for PM!!!!

Well Done Eric

[Conservative1992]

Congratulations Eric and everyone else involved in the camnpaign. I thought the result in the by-elections was a credit to you and and to the party and i can say once again, very proudly i am a member of the party (recently re-joined). Great result for all and i agree with another comment, Eric Pickles is a totally genuine guy and look forward to seeing him in the cabinet!

[wtanoto]

well done for your campaign. a lot better than class war campaign by those labours which really disgusted me.

Look at it now. One of your excellent campaign caused indirect effect: Gordon Brown entered desperado mode and breaching people's privacy by phoning them as early as 6AM.

[loderchris]

its a dis-connection with government not labour.

[Koolestguy123]

A fantastic result! The people of Crewe and Nantwich have an MP who will do them proud. Labour's despicable campaign tactics with their employment of the politics of division and segregation shows that they are definitely the "nasty party" of British politics. I'm amazed that they thought such a disgusting campaign would hand them victory. They clearly have a very low opinion of the British people. The sooner the electorate get the chance to kick this lot out and get Mr Cameron in, the better!

[subtitlesONvideo]

I thought you were adding subtitle for that video, I'll email you other day to sort this out.

[jldyett]

Good job Pickles!

[southofchaos]

best wishs guys!!!! =P

[JRT1979]

Well done Eric, you and your colleagues ran a good campaign in Crewe and sounded as determined/committed as when I last saw you in Yorkshire.

[callmewilson]

Tories soft on youth crime, don't agree, more like Labour soft on yobs, youth crime has soared hand over fist since labour came to power, feral youths on every street corner now, doing people over and getting away with it lightly, they know it as well.

[Fraiserd]

I like this guy he seems like a genuine chap.

[PGillard]

Labour is on their way out well and truly. This recent vote confirms it. Well done Eric Pickles!
