É um sério candidato a disco do ano. Uma espécie de Vampire week-end em R&B.
Vai ser giro ver os pseudo portugueses a reverem a sua atitude (parola e racista) para com o R&B.

O Hino deste verão

A Letra
Today could be the day you might make a change
Lock yourself indoors and plan a getaway
Take a walk outside in the heavy weather
The British summertime's just great, whatever
Join a local gang and get a cool nickname
Make your lifelong sweetheart your ball and chain
Convert your self-belief for a new religion
Or leave the TV on and make a decision when you're

Waiting for the day you're not looking for something else

Go put your last five pounds on the lottery
If you're not in it to win it, well, then you won't receive
Then maybe place all your winning on an outsider
And if it wins you'll be grinning and you can celebrate
Six months of our lives are at a red light
And there's a thousand chances to get it right
So put your in the door because it's free admission
Or leave the TV on and make a decision when you're

Waiting for the day you're not looking for something else

Break away your ties and find a new squeeze
Show a local scheme your generosity
Stand back in the shadows and be a right-hand man
Buy a brand new semi next door to the Taliban
Who knows what's around the bend
Stay up, get drunk with all your best friends
Celebrate your side to a new division
Or leave the TV on, make your own decisions
Waiting for the day you're not looking for something else

Don't let your day grow long before it comes a week
Go and make a change before the big sleep

Estou apaixonado (antes que a RFM acabe com isto). Toma lá amy !

Outra banda a não perder : We have a band

A banda a ver ao vivo este verão

Pelo que eu vi naquele programa das Sete Maravilhas de Origem Portuguesa no Mundo o nosso desígnio nacional foi semear igrejas pelos cinco cantos da terra. Tivéssemos optado por escolas e hoje éramos, provavelmente, mais felizes e menos odiados.

Por que é que eu nunca vou votar no bloco?

A resposta é Shaum Bailey.

Could Shaun Bailey represent the re-birth of the Tory party? By HARRIET SERGEANT

Last week I witnessed an event that I believe will transform this country and theConservative Party, and put an end to the ideology that has dominated Britain to its detriment over the past ten years.

It took place in the unlikely setting of the Polish Centre in Hammersmith, West London. There, residents had gathered in a small theatre to vote for an MP in the new Conservative open primaries taking place around the country.

They did not look like an audience to instigate revolution. From where I sat in the balcony above, the majority appeared to be over 50 years old. All were white. Yet out of four strong candidates, they chose the most unlikely.

Shaun Bailey is a 35-year-old, powerfully built, black man, brought up by a single mother on the notorious North Kensington estates. Most of the audience, I sensed, would normally cross the road for fear of men like Shaun Bailey. Indeed, the only other black man in the building was the doorman.

Yet this largely middle-class, white audience enthusiastically voted Shaun as their representative to fight to unseat the local Labour MP at the next general election.

This was not just a vote for multicultural UK - welcome as that is. It was a vote for fundamental change both in the Conservative Party and in the country at large.

The audience chose a man who stands for everything that focus groups tell the Conservative leadership lost them the last election. Shaun Bailey believes in marriage, education, self-reliance and the control of immigration. He is against liberalising the drugs laws. He is against liberalism, full stop.

Change

As a youth worker, he deals every day with the damage liberalism has caused.

When accused of being Rightwing by the audience, he replied: 'To a young person like myself, Left and Right-wing are old terms. If to believe deeply in the importance of education and standing on your own two feet is Right-wing, then I am not ashamed to say it... I am Rightwing.'

His background, his work and his conviction gives his beliefs a unique authority. He is important to the party because he gives the Conservatives back the courage to be Conservative. It is a courage the present Tory leadership appear to have mislaid.

Instead, they have been obsessed with focus groups who have warned them that the greatest threat to the party is the defection of voters to the Lib Dems. Hence the slew of ecofriendly, liberal policy announcements that have been designed to appeal to that narrow band of the population who read the Guardian and the Independent.

The audience at the Hammersmith selection vote demonstraasted that they have a rather more important set of priorities - and in so doing performed a feat of political imagination that has eluded the Conservative leadership.

Hammersmith Conservatives are fighting a marginal seat which has both the fourth highest property prices in the country and, at the other extreme, a third of its population earning less than £10,000 a year.

They understood that to survive, let alone regain power, the Conservative Party has to strike out into the unknown.

So, in a close and exciting runoff between Shaun and the candidate I thought bound to win - a well-spoken and impressive young, blond, banker - the audience chose Shaun.

The party needs to find new voters. Shaun promises to deliver them. He said: 'I tell people on the estates: "You might not have heard of the Conservative Party. You might never have voted in an election before. But come the General Election, you will be voting Conservative.'

He and the Hammersmith Conservatives who voted for him have understood the importance of an entirely new source of votes - our fast-growing immigrant communities.

Many of these communities - with their belief in hard work, discipline in schools and the importance of the family - are natural Conservative voters. But several different leaders of immigrant communities have complained to me, the Conservative Party largely ignores them.

At the moment, the present Conservative leadership are making the mistake of fighting the next election with the tactics that won Labour the last one.

So we have a lookalike Blair leader, lookalike Blair policies and shadow ministers who treat Labour poll guru Lord Gould's book on Blair's victory in '97, The Unfinished Revolution, as their bible.

Confidence

It is a pity. An appeal to immigrant communities would allow the Conservative leadership to take pride in traditional Conservative values, rather than be ashamed of them. It would let them retain, rather than alienate, core voters and discover votes in places never reached by Conservatives before.

In other words, it would allow David Cameron to repeat the success of Margaret Thatcher when she sold off council houses and won over crucial new voters to the Conservative Party in the early 1980s.

Shaun Bailey, with his common sense, his ability to appeal to a wide electorate and his confidence, I believe is the 21stcentury face of Thatcherism.

All this is a bit far ahead for the Hammersmith Conservatives. Here and now they just want to win the seat.

As Mark Loveday, deputy chairman of the local Conservatives, said: 'We are looking for a fighter. If we win seats like this, we will probably put David Cameron into government.'

Yet the election of Shaun Bailey promises more than that - it could transform politics in this country by dispelling the prevailing liberal consensus.

He lays bare the myth that a vote for the Labour Party is a vote for the vulnerable and excluded in society. In fact, the liberal ideology so promoted by this government has hit these groups the hardest.

As Shaun remarked: 'The more liberal we've been, the more the poor have suffered. Poor people don't need all this liberalism. They need direction.'

Liberal views on drugs, discipline in schools and the family may appeal to the bien pensants of Islington. But for the poor on the estates where Shaun works, the consequences have been dire, with young boys sinking into a lifetime of crime and addiction.

Direction

The selection of Shaun Bailey also dispels the notion the Conservatives are the 'nasty party', with closet racist tendencies.

Looking directly at the former Labour mayor and leader of the council who was seated in the hall (in a curious quirk of these primaries, they are allowed to attend and vote), Shaun said: 'Vote for me because if I win, I am their very worst nightmare. There is nothing they can say against me.'

Indeed, all the contenders at the Hammersmith vote were refreshingly unexpected.

Two were women, one a lawyer of mixed-race who had started her own legal firm, the other, from a gipsy family of six children, had read law at Oxford. All three losers would have been an asset to Westminster.

And for all my criticism of them, it was the Conservative leadership who made the election of Shaun Bailey possible, by introducing these 'open primaries' whereby candidates are whittled down to a final selection of four by the local Tory party members.

These finalists then attend a public meeting where anyone on the local electoral roll is entitled to quiz the contenders, and vote for their preferred candidate. It may seem a high-risk strategy, but it works.

In the bar afterwards, most of the audience appeared utterly exhilarated by what they had witnessed, as was I.

Yes, it was only one constituency. But this was not just about the selection of a new parliamentary candidate. It signified the rebirth of the Tory grass roots - and changed the political landscape for the better.

E assim se ganham eleições,

Para que conste: se, algum dia, eu morrer num acidente de avião quero que os meus amigos e familiares digam aos jornalistas que eu era apenas uma pessoa banal.

Se calhar, em vez de andarem à procura das vítimas do voo AF 447 da Air France debaixo de água deveriam procura-los no céu. Porque parece que só iam anjos a bordo.
