The people in the lab have been told by this jobsworth that came round that they can no longer have the radio on unless we buy a public entertainment licence or somesuch. I like to think that there's a small corner of Hell reserved for these sorts!
Agreed 100%. You can add the whole 'not bowing at the centotaph' to that aswell.Prufrock wrote:Not so much angry myself, but puzzled as to why so many people are so angry over this Gordon Brown letter thingy. I understand the familly's reaction in a difficult, emotional time, but the general public....? I have to say I was suprised he hand wrote every letter. He is partially blind so mistakes are understandable and I think it is commendable he takes the time to write personally to every familly. But oh no, we have to wait for the mistakes. The letter seemed rushed? No shit, he has a country to run. It's organised bullying. There are many reasons policy wise to attack him, but it is indicitive of the micro politics horseshiite days he live in this is the big news.
Write a hand-written letter and he's "insulting" dead servicemen, send off a spell checked word document and he's a faceless, emotionless nice person. He can't win.
And recording his call when he rings to apologise? Mind-boggling the depths papers will go to.
If anything I imagine this whole episode will probably do more to make Brown more popular than anything. Christ he's only trying his best.

Is it really though? It's become fashionable to say that, but what does it actually mean. Does anyone suppose Murdoch has anything to do with even 1% of his media output?Prufrock wrote:It's depressing how close to the mark that is.Lord Kangana wrote:Its a Sun campaign. Rupert Murdoch is our true Prime Minister/President/thought police/Dictator. Nuff said.

I suppose anyone remotely interested in retaining some semblence of democracy designed to serve the majority of the population. I've already ascertained from your previous posts that that would be you not giving a shit. As it happens, I do. Fairly simple.
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Ah now I see how democracy works! Gordon whilst Chancellor lets the bankers feck up big style then we all pay to put it right and Harriet turns us all into non gender persons, Brilliant.Lord Kangana wrote:I suppose anyone remotely interested in retaining some semblence of democracy designed to serve the majority of the population.

I just think that whoever the Page 3 comic comes out for is fairly inconsequential in the scheme of things, and that they are opinion followers, not shapers.Lord Kangana wrote:I suppose anyone remotely interested in retaining some semblence of democracy designed to serve the majority of the population.

And yes, I am in favour of the current Labour Government being replaced by a Conservative one, and will be pleased if it comes to pass.
If you don't like it, you can always bugger off to the house in France that you 'have the privilege of owning', you yawning great hypocritical bore.

No, I just refuse believe that even you really think we're all just milling around doing Murdoch's bidding, and I'm genuinely delighted that British life has been so good to you, heretofore, that you have an alternative if it all gets too much for you.Lord Kangana wrote:Many thanks. Hit a raw nerve at all?
