The Politics Thread

[Verbal]

Political leader in strong-mindedness shocker.

Political leader in strong-mindedness shocker.

Political leader in vain I always wanted this job and sod you peasants now I've go it shocker.

Feck me, I'm no Brown fan but what kind of a nation of bedwetters have we become when our Prime Minister's 'bullying' is part of our political discourse...

The lad has a point there, this story is pointless, the media's constant sensationalisation is getting boring now.

Christ, old one-eye is running a country (very badly, I might add), he's surely allowed to blow off some steam now and again.

I've been b***ocked more than enough in work over the years but I don't cry about it.

'tis all a matter of degree and perspective...

Compared with the mess I imagine we'd be in had Cameron and Osborne been left holding the financial meltdown that we recently experienced - then Brown & Darling are the A-team!

How do you know that, though? They've never been in charge of the country.

Brown was chancellor for 10 years, then claimed he didn't see the economic collapse coming?! Which makes him a lying c**t who jizzed all over the country, he then tried to compensate by bringing his pig-ugly missus out for sympathy, and when that didn't work, as we all expected, the sob story about his little one too (which was a tragedy, but we all have them in life).

I don't trust Cameron or Osborne, and it's a shame these f******g toffs will still (and always) be running the country, but the other option is Brown and that t**t Mandelson, Labour have literally buried themselves for generations, I'll be glad when they f**k off for good. Gordon should have another interview with Piers Morgan afterwards, the fat embarrassing idiot

Crying shame when a country like ours has no voting options - Labour, Lib Dems, Conservatives, Greens, BNP, UKIP - I wouldn't trust a single one of them with my vote - so they're not f*****g getting it.

the clue is there if you look hard enough....

that imagination is based on what they have said they would have done (often contradictory) and the things they have opposed...

Options they may be - but three are futile protest decisions - which is fine if you fancy a futile protest (I've voted Green and Socialist Labour in that cheery, mischievous way myself).

The others are pretty grisly, though some more grisly than others. I'm voting Labour in Bolton NE - to keep out the Tories (a vain hope, I suspect). If I lived in Cheshire I'd vote Lib Dem for the same reason.

I'd like a voting system where I'd have the chance to vote positively.

Labour, Lib Dem and Tory are the same c***s with different smiles.
Greens - tree huggers, supported by tw***y students and people who grown their own veg
BNP - no thanks, but they're the ones to watch
UKIP - BNP in nicer clothes, no thanks

My great-granddad died during WWII to give us a vote and free us from the nazi's. Now we're living in a police/nanny state with self-serving pieces of s**t in charge.

Unlucky, Harold, you should have stayed at home and we'd have been better off.......

hmm... whilst recognising the sentiment - I think you are wrong...

I have encountered/worked with many MPs - and they are in the main - no more or less self-serving than you or me - and I doubt they are any worse than the MPs at the time your great-grandfather gave his life in WW2...

(and - please - we are NOT living in a police state or anything comparable to a NAZI state - to suggest so cheapens the plight of those who actually do.)

Indeed - we might not like the options - but we do have options - and there is nothing to stop you or "as" or any other of us standing for election. This is not the case all around the world. We have as many options as our own conviction and get-off-our-arses-ness allows (compared to many countries around the world)

yes - I can see your point - but it irritates the feck out of me when people make utterly ludicrous claims about the lack of freedom and choice in the UK.

That's the kind of state hobo secretly fancies...

[Lord Kangana]

Point of historical order. No-one freed us from the Nazis. You have to be enslaved to be freed.

Carry on.

Do you rent rooms out WtW? I could probably find a few people who could move to temporary accommodation and add a few extra votes..

Stuffed to the rafters already, Worthy...

My dad and all the other family elders will be getting their rides to the polls from the Tories... and taking their time getting in and out of the cars...

I do disapprove of this act of senior delinquency, of course...

Interesting corollary.

Though no attempt was made to recapture by force before German surrender, and there wasn't (as far as I know) any attempt at armed resistance.

Good job the Tories aren't bright enough to think it through... (is there a cross finger emoticon?)...
