Hmmm.
Liz has not replied since just before 5pm.
Public sector 'non-jobber' perchance?
Nope, just one of the vast numbers of private sector 'jobbers' who have other things to attend to... and who generally support a government which genuinely acts in the interest of the whole country, rather than one which supports the personal wealth of ego-tripping toffs and their cronies...
... er, oh yes... perchance...0 -

I so agree those lousy Labour toffs eh. 13 years and the gap between rich and poor just got greater. Damn Labour Toffs. Just in it for themselves and their rich mates

I've no doubt that all voters would have preferred to see their own favoured party get an outright majority. That didn't happen.
If the current situation was that this country was fighting a war against a foreign power which had the potential to bring it to its knees, most sensible thoughtful voters would swallow their feelings and prefer that politicians combined to act together in the national interest.
Well, for those who haven't noticed, we ARE fighting a serious war which has the same potential to bring this country to its knees as we faced during the Second World War. It's called a national debt which is so huge it could bring us to bankruptcy if not dealt with quickly. One has only to look at what has been happening in Greece to get a hint of what could be in store for the UK without a strong government to act quickly. So perhaps we can all swallow our criticisms, reserve judgement and hope that these politicians have the goodwill and common sense to turn this country round from the current mess in which we all find ourselves.
All very well... so 'politicians acting together' in this 'serious war' would then undoubtedly mean a national government as in WWII which would include all political parties, right...?
Not just a pathetic Lib-Con mishmash designed specifically to get Cameron into No.10 and exclude the third of voters who still opted, after all the belizean dollars spent and years of Murdochite press poison, for Labour, right..?
You want those voters to 'swallow their criticisms', right..?
Good luck to those Libbie-demmies who are going to have to undergo a consciencectomy in the time ahead. I hope you survive the experience and can look all the future sacked teachers and other public service workers in the eye...0 -

Well it's obvious some will suffer, if all are to be saved but to be honest I'd much prefer a quick sharp shock to the system to bring the country back to reality.
Better than the Labour lies of the past few years and total lack of regulation when it comes to lending.0 -

Do the Labour party know you are posting on here? You are not doing them any favours to be honest. Resorting to the playground in your descriptions of people; Camertoff, Dopey Dave, Libbie-Demmies, it just makes you sound ridiculous and spiteful.0 -
In the UK we have traditionally two sides to politics. People can argue there are 2 now, but in reality there is capitalism and socialism.
The problem is that both have issues. Greed drives capitalism while envy drives socailism. Neither are good emotions.
The problem is that,'New Labour' was both the party of greed and envy by attempting to fill the middle ground. Ie the worse of them all without any real idealism.
Sorry to burst the OPs bubble, but what you had was the worst of all outcomes and you are showing yourself in a very bad light.

The Bullingdon club reunion is back on for Friday night at No.10. The drinks bill for this extravaganza will increase the national debt by at least 10%.LizEstelle wrote: »Camertoffs power of judgement

I know Mr Brown called one solid Labour voter a bigot but it is starting to look like it is the standard to aim for if you are a Labour supporter on these boards."The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts."
