It doesn't bother me TBH. We all  have our little quirks ............I'm an ear tugger - I'd hate to have a public profile - God only knows what they may pick up on 

Reinforcement.

.... and yet it is very important that we dwell on quirky personal behaviour rather than policies.

I'm not sure it matters. 'Policies are made to be denied completely when we get into power' is the modern political mantra.

It probably matters. Surely there is an opportunity for someone to reverse the thirty odd year old policies. Either someone attempts to wrest back power from the monetarists, or are we saying that, rather like in the US we will never have an opposition again?

I reckon Labour will get back in at the next election ( In 5 years time). This needs to change back to 3 years IMO. This is based on the assesment that there will not be a vote of " No Confidence"  5 years under tis Gov't --- we will all be destitute and beggging on the streets.

I don't think we need to worry about that. The Cameron and Clegg comedy duo are doing more for the opposition than the opposition themselves can muster up. Labour will save a lot of money on campaigning next time around.

It doesn't bother me either and to be honest, if no one had mentioned it, I wouldn't have noticed.  Nick Clegg is a sociopath, Nick Clegg sounds identical to Cameron and Cameron leans on the despatch box like he owns Parliament - the smug t***t.

Indeed! But what it is, is...... There is no point voting Labour on the rebound if they are just going to continue with the same old, same old.

That's how it's been for the British public for a long time though. Voting for what they consider to be  a lesser evil each time (and boy did they get it wrong this time). It will never change in our lifetime.

I'm running out of time!

Me too. Think what we could have achieved when we were younger if only we could have been arsed  

I mostly agree Champagne Joe.   While any government would be better than this lot a government that is a little bit better is not worth the effort. 

Labour need to forget Blair and the Blairite/Mandelson pursuit of power at any price.  Blair more or less admitted that he sees Labour as running Thatcherism slightly better than the Tories.  In my view, the majority of Labour voters didn't vote Labour to see Labour look after the very people that the Tories looked after and see people get 'obscenely rich' while they lagged behind.  We can definitely do without the warmongering as well.

In some ways Labour deserved to lose the last election, the 10pc income tax abolition, Iraq War and reducing Inheritance Tax were a mixture of arrogance and sops to the Daily Mail and right of centre affluent Middle England.

Brisket I really worry about your obsession with fists.

I know you can't stand Andy Murray, or his fist.......now it's Ed Milliband


Tim Henman was the worst culprit for fisting   ..........You've never mentioned him though


I mean all of this lovingly 

I'm fairly certain it was Tony Blair who introduced the 'soft fist'. Anywhow, I am so disenchanted with any of the political parties that it leaves me bereft. I have had politics with my mother's milk and now it's become a homogenous idea, rather than something that actually happens.

Oh dear!  I wonder if I should worry too.
Thanks for reminding me stoory.   I can't stand the Henman and Murray fists. It appears to be spreading through the tennis world unfortunately.

I know you do stoory.

Exactly.

It's not seen as aggressive.
