Yeah, poor old Doug. Wonder what he thought of it all at the end? Maybe he knew they were conning money out of people using his name, maybe he was so brainwashed he approved but I doubt it, he seemed like a nice guy. He just got in with a bad crowd that's all. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mjackson74@...> wrote:
I can't believe that anyone, even Doug Henning could put this out there and expect anyone to believe it.

I operated the autocue for a couple of election specials, great fun, it's a shame they (and some of the other crazy no-hope UK parties) have quit politics. But Maggie Thatcher thought that "frivolous" parties like Monster Raving Loonies or the Giant Green Chicken party were cheapening politics and put the cost of the deposit up to drive them away. For me there was no better sight than Tory and Labour politicians having to stand next to people dressed like chickens or pantomime horses on election night while the votes are read out. Punctured a few pompous balloons. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mjackson74@...> wrote: Yeah I did watch the video, all the way through.

Who knew that the Skem TMers had reduced the Mersyside crime rate by 60%? Nobody in Mersyside that's for sure! The funny thing is I worked for them and I voted for someone else! LOL. But they really thought they were going to win and it was an amazing effort to get a political party together in just a couple of weeks, even if it did just mean giving an intro talk to people who aren't interested. Of course, after it turned out they weren't going to be leading the country the story changed to it being a good way of getting the word out. And it was, I was manning the phones after the last election the NLP fought and was highly dubious that any member of the public would ring and ask for more info, but ring they did and I spent ages explaining all the terms and beliefs to them. Being evangelical isn't really my thing though and I wasn't very good at it, I think you need to really believe something to be a good teacher and I never did think it was very credible. As I always say, you have to look at what this amazing coherence and nature support has done for the TMO to realise it isn't the best model for understanding society and human behaviour. I think it's a crock actually but there you are, we had fun while it lasted and I loved organising press conferences even if no one ever turned up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-F5pR7Tj2qY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-F5pR7Tj2qY
