The Politics Thread

[mummywhycantieatcrayons]

Very naive of you Billy boy if you are expecting a positive response to this question. What makes you think that the youth of today conditioned by New Right politics and the utter vaccuousness and mendacity of Thatcherism and Blairism would choose to understand anything beyond their narrow self- interest?

Is your spelling Thatcher's fault too?

Since i don't want to spoil a hardworking student's chances of a first, rather than reply i offer the advice that you get back to work immediately, and avoid those golf courses. not wanting you to have your education disrupted like. since that's already happened once today and caused you to sulk in public to bolton wanderers supporters. icebag on head, crayon in ink, now!

Why do you always mention the fact I play golf? Do you have anything in particular against the sport? The funny thing is, I have actually retired from the Uni team precisely because I don't have time for it in this, my final year, because my degree is more important.

And as for sulking... wouldn't really call it that myself. Just throwing something that's going on in my life today into the the ring for discussion, as we all do, from time to time.

hi there, Prufrock...

so, tempt me into argument again...

yes, the people of gaza will definitely be taking heart by knowing that throughout the world there are people on their side... i've no idea whether this particular demonstration in cambridge has been publicised in a major way, but i'm pretty certain it will appear in a list emailed across the the world to people who care about gaza and other middle eastern issues - i know because i'm a subscriber to one, which is initiated by israeli dissidents opposed to their government's actions...

only the incredibly naive imagines that any particular demonstration leads directly to results. this one, like others, has, i imagine two purposes, both very important. one is to allow the participants to say 'not in my name', and i think that it's important when you disagree to make that public, if you wish. in some countries it would lead to arrest, torture and even death - so do you really pour scorn on people who exercise this democratic right? what then is the point of democracy?

Are the people of Gaza really going to their laptops/iphones everyday to check the latest emailed list of British student demonstrations?

Are there not better ways to voice 'disagreement' in the third ranked university in the the world than simply sitting around as a physical obstruction, in a place where there is basically no traffic other than law students. As for 'not in my name'.... what about the vast majority of our Faculty who do not support the protesters - is it right that our name is being hijacked?

I do have a distaste for golf, i admit. And this an unfair prejudice, i recognise. Can't halp it. goes back to dragging bags round the old Links as a caddy trying to earn a few bob when i was a kid. the players were such c*nts.

Only third? Thought you'd go to a good university.

People should be allowed to protest but only with due regards to their fellow countrymen.
This forum alone proves there are many diverse veiws held, some tend to think some of mine are a bit extreme but i would do nothing to stop my fellow countrymen going about their LAWFULL business.

true... but milord mandelson and green, slimey custard is too good to miss... can we consider this not as an assault, which we would obviously disapprove of, and consider it street theatre, which we can chuckle at and whole-heartedly endorse...?

Well done.

should build another extra airport in revenge.

Green Custard?
It should have been Pink.

Daft cow said she was justified 'cos democracy had failed her'

Stupid bitch, has she been banged up, yet?

If not, why not?

Get another runway and tarmac her in

[CAPSLOCK]

Small Acorns my friend, if everyone just shrugged their shoulders like you are doing the powers that be would take the p*ss even more than they already do. A bit of anarchy is no bad thing now and then.

Teach you that during your private education?

They've decided that it looks better if they make a joke of it... even Brown was making light of it.


Can't pull it off like W, though...

Scene 1. England.

A wonderful land ruled by a fair and just government with the people as a priority and justice doled out in proportion to crimes committed against the laws of the land. Royalty, comprising a King and Queen and their immediate family (no cousins of, friends of, or forty-nine generations of state funded land-owner hangers on involved), living in one castle and not owning all the prime land and estates in the country. All the populance contributing to the good of the land and not just the workers being taxed to the blox (great word I nicked from a new poster ) to fund glass-backs, immigrants, and ne'er-do-wells. A vision easily foreseen by any political party except the one in power.

Scene 2. Enter Peter Pan from stage right.

Hang on, let me get this right. Democracy has failed her because she didn't get her own way? Can someone send the dizzy bint a Dictionary please?
I wonder if Mandleson mistook the green custard for guacamole too?

Yaeh.

The manners and attempts at communicating with others without resorting to insults were all my own idea, though.

I believe this is what is known as tearing someone a new one

Dan Hannan laying it thick on Brown. Top stuff.

He does like referencing the past and theorists doesn't he?

[Athers]

Sounds like he like sailing as well.

Jaquie Smiths husband is a wanker, apparently.

It's just like when my mum said to me that she was under the doctor and I said it's amazing what you can get on the NHS. Subsidized onanism, can't be bad.
