In general, in life, I'm not the sort of person to hold a grudge. Mainly I've **** because I've got quite a bad memory. And in politics you know you inevitably have **** people hate your guts. Some of them because they have good reason to - because they've met you and they don't like your policies and they don't like you. And a lot of people just because they love to hate politicians. And I would never remember, with the notable exception of about three people — I would never remember **** work, because I just couldn't be bothered, with that side of him. Having said that, no matter how bad my memory is I can't quite forget the nature of the 2005 general election, in (Bethel Green and Bowe). And although I don't hold grudges, I do think it was ashamed that in Britain, we had an election that was really marred, by a lot of intimidation and a lot of people. I'm feeling too **** in some areas. So, I don't hold a grudge, but I don't think it was a great way to engage in political debate.
