Davis vs The Munsters

I hear it is now almost certain that Labour will definitely not put a candidate up against Davis, to deny him the battle he seeks. Logic is to make him look like a mad bloke in the pub touting for a fight at closing time. So it will be him, UKIP, BNP, monster raving loonies, the munsters etc. The broadcasters then wouldn’t be able to interview Davis if they didn’t then give equal platform to the weird and wacky minority parties. A bottle out from Brown, certainly. But one not without political rationale.

P.S. Sadly for Labour, the BNP have just decided not to field a candidate. No word on UKIP yet.
