Your partisanship is getting annoying, actually. The Shrike Send a noteboard - 13/05/2010 06:55:28 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.


There are many fine, upstanding, extremely enlightened conservatives British people around - On this board, in your life I imagine, and in general. There are many who are happy to see that the Liberal Democrats are in power with the Tories, no less.

Seriously, stop acting like your world is ending and try to see across the aisle, as it were, and find common ground. Otherwise you could just move across the sea back to Norway where Labour is still in power.

I agree. Legolas - 13/05/2010 07:11:40 PM 711 Views
What an even-handed, stereotype-free, and balanced piece of journalism. *NM* Tim - 13/05/2010 02:07:35 PM 339 Views
Yup. *NM* Camilla - 13/05/2010 02:09:35 PM 310 Views

I'm sorry I care about politics. Camilla - 13/05/2010 08:45:26 PM 747 Views
It's easy to complain. Actually doing something is rather more difficult. *NM* Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 10:17:47 PM 308 Views
What do you suggest I do, pray tell? *NM* Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:19:30 PM 290 Views
Learn how to live with people who disagree with you. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 10:21:08 PM 648 Views
Oh, come on. Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:29:38 PM 765 Views
Do you really spell it "superiour" in Britain? That's wonderful. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 10:37:21 PM 796 Views
Pretty please with sugar on top Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:50:48 PM 725 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 704 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 658 Views

Re: Yeah, um, that wasn't me. Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:11:04 PM 679 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 689 Views
See, this is what I find offensive Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:21:28 PM 685 Views
Fair enough. It was unfair of me to use "learn." Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 11:30:34 PM 661 Views
Re: Fair enough. It was unfair of me to use "learn." Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:32:29 PM 670 Views

I hereby invite myself to the said discussion. *NM* Tim - 14/05/2010 12:13:34 PM 280 Views
I certainly wouldn't go that far. Nowhere near. *NM* Rebekah - 13/05/2010 11:43:20 PM 334 Views
On the comparison or on you people's spelling? *NM* Ghavrel - 14/05/2010 12:13:42 AM 307 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 611 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 611 Views
You think Tories won't go proto-Orwellian on you? Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:46:45 PM 596 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 594 Views
Lets be honest Wibble - 14/05/2010 12:11:44 AM 720 Views
True fact. *NM* Rebekah - 14/05/2010 12:12:36 AM 326 Views
Very true, however Mark - 14/05/2010 03:54:21 PM 748 Views
Surely a good part of that is just humour, though? Legolas - 14/05/2010 12:25:21 AM 629 Views
Part of it, yes. Rebekah - 14/05/2010 08:43:12 AM 714 Views
