    I doubt it.

    And I'm now bored of labour fanatacists in complete denial getting excited over changing words around and coming up with creative names for MP's.

    They're like children trying to divert our attention from the broken window - an impression further compounded when they whine, 'a big banker came along and did it, then ran away' when they are finally confronted with the evidence.

    Roll on the forthcoming massacre of the LDs in next year's local elections.

    Couldn't happen to a nicer party.

    Really? So perhaps you can tell us which of them has any (principles)? Or even understands the very concept.




    Like Call Me Dave's 'cast iron guarantee' that he would hold a referendum on the EU? Reintroducing the compulsory storage of all electronic communications? Child benefit?

    That's where tribal thinking gets you. They lie in your face and yet you still believe them - unable to face the fact that you've been conned again by yet another set of greasy politicians.


    I would say that Labour has the general set of principles which relate to the improvement of the situation of the majority.

    I would say that the Tories have the general set of principles which relate to the furtherance of the interests of the self-appointed (usually moneyed) elite.

    I would say that the LibDems however, as shown by recent behaviour, are definitely top of the pops when it comes to adherence to principle. When they say or promise something, you can rely on them to stick to it...

    ... oh, sorry, was just reading from this pledge sheet. Can't quite make out the signature at the bottom. Looks like Nick Usedcarsalesman...

    I guess you have been a major benficiary of the Labour largesse, hope you don't get your fingers burnt now.

    What the hell's a 'fanatacist'? As a clear, pro-Tory fanatic/fantasist I'm sure you can enlighten us.

    2nd time a labour fanatacist has labelled me this in 2 days.

    But this one takes the buscuit, on the same thread where I said I would vote lib dem again.

    As I said, it's pure denial and labelling others if they don't fit in to your merry camp of daydreamers. You can't help yourself but to prove exactly what I am saying.

    And for info: Fanaticism is a belief or behavior involving uncritical zeal, particularly for an extreme religious or political cause or in some cases sports, or with an obsessive enthusiasm for a pastime or hobby.

    Poor old Graham. His lack of intellectual ability as evinced by his apparent belief that because the word 'fanaticism' exists, then so, obviously, must 'fanaticist' is also reflected in his poor logic when dealing with matters political.

    The word is FANATIC, dear Graham. F A N A T I C.

    Got it?

    I do not now nor ever have 'denied' that a problem exists. It's your mean and nasty, Tory dogma inspired solution which I and many others are taking issue with.

    Got that, too? Or is it maybe that using three syllable words like solution will throw you..?

    No, it wouldn't Well, not unless you'd been educated in one of Labour's magnificent educational establishments.

    Which, come to think of it...
