ConservativesThey've missed out another two I love:
"Fog in Channel - continent cut off"
and the famous,
"Small earthquake in Chile, not many dead"...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

I think the latter was in the Times and is usually touted as the headline least likely to make you read the story.
There was the Private Eye spoof Sun headline:
Kill an Argie and Win a Metro0 -

OtherThe one I like, which may have been a theoretical example was:
"Vicar's wife runs off with Chinese bacon man from CoOp"
This is the perfect local newspaper headline as it combines religion, sex, race, food and a local institution.A house isn't a home without a cat.
Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.
I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.
It's a recession when your neighbour loses his job; it's a depression when you lose yours.0 -

I doubt that people outside Scotland would vote for the SNP
And there's no Plaid Cymru option :mad:0 -
ConservativesAnd there's no Plaid Cymru option :mad:
There's not much point. Plaid Cymru came 9th in terms of share of the vote in the UK with 174k votes of 27.1 million at the last general election or less than 2/3% of the votes. As a result you wouldn't expect to see more than 1 or possibly 2 votes in the survey for PC.0 -
ConservativesI liked the sport headline
"Shoot You Sir" when that fashion guy was shot.0 -
Lib Dems"Expert : Something Went Wrong in Jet Crash"
insightful! brilliant webpage though!
as far as an election goes - i'm not sure what scares me most - GB let loose in charge for much longer, or DC - i have no idea what he actually stands for, apart from pointing out obvious mistakes by labour and failing to provide an alternative solution.... so i opted out and voted yellow instead - i can't see either of the main parties offering anything that i want. here's hoping coalitions are needed for power, so that no party ends up with such a massive majority that they can steamroller through bad ideas. a huge tory majority would probably be worse than labour.....:happyhear0 -
Lib DemsIt's ok Guy_Montag. When democracy is shown as the failed experiment and I'm running things I'll bring you in as Minister for Beer or something equally important.
You need a pretty long memory to go back to the last libertarian Liberal politician of note!
Perhaps you should get in touch with David Laws to see if there is any future in a libertarian Liberal Democratic party. Go on Gen, drop him a line.
I'm not sure that I am a fiscal libertarian, socially yes, but fiscally... hmmm. What I am sure is that more of the same, which is all the blues & reds seem to offer, is not going to turn the UK into a great country. I'd like to see some imagination in politics rather than "well, we basically agree, but we'd do a bit of fiddling at the edges"."Mrs. Pench, you've won the car contest, would you like a triumph spitfire or 3000 in cash?" He smiled.
Mrs. Pench took the money. "What will you do with it all? Not that it's any of my business," he giggled.
"I think I'll become an alcoholic," said Betty.0
