You'll survive Larry Send a noteboard - 13/05/2010 02:54:20 PM
I clicked on this because it promised to be "invaluable advice to dispel the despair", which after driving Tor nutty with groaning over the news and deep sighs whenever Cameron shows up on my screen, I realised was what I needed.

It does offer some good points, although I think not all of them practical.


If I can live in the buckle of the Bible Belt for most of my life and manage to tolerate it, you'll mange to tolerate Cameron and Crew. Unless you're not as tough as most progressive-minded Southerners have to be, that is :P

Her 101 reasons to love our Tory government was even better. Legolas - 13/05/2010 12:42:39 PM 806 Views
That was excellent Camilla - 13/05/2010 12:48:34 PM 754 Views
That has been used a few times now snoopcester - 13/05/2010 01:27:50 PM 699 Views
Oh, well, it was new to me. Legolas - 13/05/2010 01:36:13 PM 738 Views
I do like one of the comments especially The Shrike - 13/05/2010 07:03:15 PM 689 Views
I agree. Legolas - 13/05/2010 07:11:40 PM 787 Views
What an even-handed, stereotype-free, and balanced piece of journalism. *NM* Tim - 13/05/2010 02:07:35 PM 385 Views
Yup. *NM* Camilla - 13/05/2010 02:09:35 PM 343 Views
Oh, come on. It's a humourous column. Legolas - 13/05/2010 02:23:16 PM 779 Views

Your partisanship is getting annoying, actually. The Shrike - 13/05/2010 06:55:28 PM 872 Views
I'm Rebekah and I endorse this comment. Rebekah - 13/05/2010 08:10:03 PM 783 Views

I'm sorry I care about politics. Camilla - 13/05/2010 08:45:26 PM 813 Views
It's easy to complain. Actually doing something is rather more difficult. *NM* Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 10:17:47 PM 338 Views
What do you suggest I do, pray tell? *NM* Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:19:30 PM 321 Views
Learn how to live with people who disagree with you. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 10:21:08 PM 719 Views
Oh, come on. Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:29:38 PM 839 Views
Do you really spell it "superiour" in Britain? That's wonderful. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 10:37:21 PM 867 Views
Pretty please with sugar on top Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:50:48 PM 793 Views
Meh. That wasn't meant to be condescending. I never expected the ou to enter that word, is all. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 11:02:11 PM 764 Views
Re: Meh. That wasn't meant to be condescending. I never expected the ou to enter that word, is all. Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:03:42 PM 730 Views
Yeah, um, that wasn't me. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 11:08:48 PM 753 Views
Re: Yeah, um, that wasn't me. Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:11:04 PM 743 Views
I don't mind transference of anger, but let's keep my quotes accurate at least. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 11:15:37 PM 755 Views
See, this is what I find offensive Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:21:28 PM 747 Views
Fair enough. It was unfair of me to use "learn." Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 11:30:34 PM 726 Views
Re: Fair enough. It was unfair of me to use "learn." Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:32:29 PM 732 Views
That's kind of my point, though. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 11:33:51 PM 702 Views
Two posts in three days about a new Government in the country? snoopcester - 13/05/2010 11:18:06 PM 763 Views

I could be Tory enough for both of us, if you like. Rebekah - 13/05/2010 11:45:41 PM 756 Views
Sorry. But I can't bring myself to vote for 'that bloody party' Wibble - 13/05/2010 11:48:26 PM 740 Views
Re: Sorry. But I can't bring myself to vote for 'that bloody party' Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:54:10 PM 724 Views
I hereby invite myself to the said discussion. *NM* Tim - 14/05/2010 12:13:34 PM 312 Views
I certainly wouldn't go that far. Nowhere near. *NM* Rebekah - 13/05/2010 11:43:20 PM 394 Views
On the comparison or on you people's spelling? *NM* Ghavrel - 14/05/2010 12:13:42 AM 339 Views
On the comparison. Rebekah - 14/05/2010 01:08:17 PM 778 Views

Oh well. The Shrike - 14/05/2010 02:48:51 AM 792 Views
I was gonna make a post with precisely the same title as Camilla's. So: Oh, come on. Legolas - 13/05/2010 10:43:12 PM 852 Views
thank you. Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:46:38 PM 717 Views

I dunno. It looks to me that's what Balwer was saying with his flogged horse comment. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 11:18:30 PM 670 Views
I'm sorry you care more about your own political agenda than about trying to see a party in power The Shrike - 13/05/2010 11:44:32 PM 684 Views
You think Tories won't go proto-Orwellian on you? Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:46:45 PM 666 Views
If both, theoretically, will abuse power, then The Shrike - 13/05/2010 11:54:53 PM 757 Views

A date "in a year's time" will be easy to remember. We have Scottish elections on 5 May 2011. Tim - 14/05/2010 12:12:26 PM 670 Views
Lets be honest Wibble - 14/05/2010 12:11:44 AM 793 Views
True fact. *NM* Rebekah - 14/05/2010 12:12:36 AM 355 Views
Very true, however Mark - 14/05/2010 03:54:21 PM 815 Views
Surely a good part of that is just humour, though? Legolas - 14/05/2010 12:25:21 AM 693 Views
Part of it, yes. Rebekah - 14/05/2010 08:43:12 AM 770 Views
