  • I didnt know you were allowed to use low life language like that on here - I have amended the post to avoid derailment of the thread and hijacking onto unrelated and dubious territory I am not familiar with. We are not used to that type of language round here.

    Back on track.... the Guardian says the election will be influenced for the first time by a 'ragtag army' on Twitter and Facebook.

    What say you all to that idea? Will it?

    You may have a point because even the Pope is on Twitter I believe, so yes it will have an effect but how large is anyones guess. Early days.

    Thats fine, they can finish their work of destroying the country. Afterwards , the successful people like me will rebuild it in quite a different format, no benefits, free health care (ie paid for by someone else)

    It will be brilliant. The hard working will enjoy the "benefits" of their hard work, and those who dont left to die. Hurrah. Just how it always had been till evil socialism took root in the west.

    See what types of friends you tories/UKIP attract George. There are some complete nazis on this board!:rotfl:

    But it's reasonable to laugh about people suffering from mental illness because they were abused as children.

    Hypocrite.

    Hypocrites.

    Trying to understand what some of you are saying is not easy sometimes, for me that is, it likens to the words in a quote from Sir Winston Churchill.....

    a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.

    When I listen to politicans on the tv they can turn things around to mean the opposite.

    May I say in my defence that I have never deleated a post on this Forum, I have been accused wrongly of doing so , and I have been called a liar, by one of the two posh boys.

    So we've established your hypocrisy.

    Are you a liar or an idiot too? I suspect the former but both are strong traits of party hacks IME.

    What in truth is my lack of understanding of the vocabulary used by many on this Forum as my education does not meet with any of your standards thats for sure.
