Recall the disparity between the media's reaction to Prezza's Punch and the public's.<br /><br />Shame the site's changing, but in these times and in his position anything DK posts will be held up and used against both him and his party and he's obviously decided that the party is more important.FlipChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09449939046593105926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14422435.post-83314948760093396552010-04-16T08:15:13.542+01:002010-04-16T08:15:13.542+01:00"Piebald"?"Piebald"?Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07009879034507926661noreply@blogger.com
