I am a Labour plant because I defend some of the things the government has done.

to convert some hardcore uder-Tories like Strickland and Wookster? Hardly worth the bother is it.

Who's that?
Oh bless.
You haven't called me a moron yet.

I don't belong to any politcal party, though I'm very keen that the current shower are removed and replaced. You might be quite surprised that I do have believe in more than business and profits and traditional Tory territory. My main crime is that I come from a poor family who've bettered themselves by hard work, hence why I hate all the social engineering !!!!!!!!, victim culture and misplaced do-gooding of the full time hand-wringers. If appearing uber-Tory is what it takes to remove the current bunch then it's a price I'll have to pay.

Oh dear, I really need to get my brain into gear tonight...I couldn't understand the question as I thought it was about a plant as in manufacturing etc plant.

SGE1 - I did wonder about you having something to do with the government but then you said something nice and so I discounted it.

You missed "sandal-wearing yoghurt-knitting" off your descriptive list.

BTW I didn't say you were a Tory party member. Genuine question - I respect your point of view. How do you you feel about the touchy-feely direction Cameron is taking the Tory party? I take it that you'd take Cameron over Brown anyway, but does the spread of what you described as social engineering across to the Tory benches (hug a hoodie, compassionate green taxes etc) fill you with a quiet sense of dread?

There does seem to be a number of issues where all sides seem instinctively drawn to regardless of obvious opposition and glaring pitfalls. I do think both parties would be more respected if they stood on a platform they actually believed in rather than what they see as being an expedient political posture. Cameron sees himself as the heir to Blair - who seriously hopes that isn't true....!
