I'm with you Velvet ... He was a *spanner*

In a bold salute to Dave Javu can I mention again that the non elected PM material is a red herring. Dave has just as much right to be boss as Gordon did. My late Dad said that his generation never complained about Churchill being unelected nor did they remark on his personal habits or mental state. Meanwhile the Tories have shut doon wor tank works.

It's true that it's very hard to distinguish now. Most real politicians are the backbenchers who do fight for their constituents, but have no input in the broader politics of their party. What a shame though. I'd rather see politics fought out on the streets, soap boxes, marches and strikes than the lilly livered substitute we have now.

does that apply to osborne as well who doesn't seem to be able to understand the concept never mind execute it

With a far too many screws missing

Quite.

 

 

now we have a full tool box 

 

 

with five u-turns in a week, he may have got a few things wrong Ros, or maybe very little right 

He has a degree in Modern History and a matey called David Cameron.

Lol Cosmo

Of course they lost the election, but the Tories didn't win a majority so Dave's squatting in number ten courtesy of the pathetic lib dems.

33 U turns  all in apparently from this government

better leave this thread - i might get banned

this is the reason i NEVER watch question time

i just get soooooooooooooo

 

wait until they try and put Adrian Beecroft's proposals through... I can see Workhouses, soup kitchens and civil uprising   

 

 

me too Ros...I can't watch it now either 

He's a plum.

 

Milliband's a plum.

 

It's an orchard.

I'm watching it now and shouting at the tv.

I find it difficult to show sympathy/loyalty towards either Labour or Tory.  They are all equally awful.  Lib dems are a nothing party so not worth mentioning.

thats what I do as well and on election nights i am awful

yesssss - i bet they would love the WC'S in their place -

Don't you think that's really sad though, spider? People in this country don't use their vote as a privilege the way you see it in countries who fight for elections. Voter's apathy comes from somewhere and the parties should address that and define themselves again as they were when they all had an ideology to tell us.

 

Whatever you do remember this.

 

Any pertainers of Broon.

 

We'd be up the Khyber without a pass.

 

Said in dead ironic humour.

First of all, I love you to bits.

 

Gordon Brown was the best Chancellor this country has had since I moved here from Germany, which was in 1979.

I thought the way Gordon was treated was appalling.  He did keep us out of the Euro and we did have a decade of growth.  We had low unemployment under Labour thanks to Gordon's deft handling of the economy.  When the casino bankers ran out of luck when the WEST's property house of cards fell, Gordon's handling of the crisis and swift and decisive.  Bailing out the banks stopped a 1930s style slump.  I often read comments from Daily Mail types and the venom directed at Brown is nauseating considering how many of the DM reading affluent aged had life savings in banks and building societies.  They'd have been royally screwed if the banks hadn't been bailed out. 

 

Cameron's obnoxious sanctimonious PMQ displays when he insulted, hectored and generally abused Brown were a new low for Parliament when he assumed the role as spokesman for the rabid Daily Mail Labour haters was typical of the little man and shit that he is.

There's the split divide.

Aye he was cool.

 

I'm a man of few words though.

 

And he might have erred 

You mean the Salmond divide??

Don't tell em we hate Labour and the Tories granny 

If I lived in Scotland, it'd be SNP till the day I die, but I'm in Devon, I see the difference (Scottish people are much nicer) that bothers England, so I'm a wee bit biased.

We know you are
