You'll benefit from it. To slightly alter what someone once very wisely said on the Books Board, "We feel safe when we live immersed in what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."

Her 101 reasons to love our Tory government was even better. Legolas - 13/05/2010 12:42:39 PM 783 Views
That was excellent Camilla - 13/05/2010 12:48:34 PM 738 Views
That has been used a few times now snoopcester - 13/05/2010 01:27:50 PM 683 Views
Oh, well, it was new to me. Legolas - 13/05/2010 01:36:13 PM 720 Views
I do like one of the comments especially The Shrike - 13/05/2010 07:03:15 PM 668 Views
I agree. Legolas - 13/05/2010 07:11:40 PM 762 Views
What an even-handed, stereotype-free, and balanced piece of journalism. *NM* Tim - 13/05/2010 02:07:35 PM 371 Views
Yup. *NM* Camilla - 13/05/2010 02:09:35 PM 333 Views

Your partisanship is getting annoying, actually. The Shrike - 13/05/2010 06:55:28 PM 852 Views
I'm Rebekah and I endorse this comment. Rebekah - 13/05/2010 08:10:03 PM 766 Views

I'm sorry I care about politics. Camilla - 13/05/2010 08:45:26 PM 796 Views
It's easy to complain. Actually doing something is rather more difficult. *NM* Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 10:17:47 PM 331 Views
What do you suggest I do, pray tell? *NM* Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:19:30 PM 315 Views

Do you really spell it "superiour" in Britain? That's wonderful. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 10:37:21 PM 847 Views
Pretty please with sugar on top Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:50:48 PM 774 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 752 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 712 Views
Yeah, um, that wasn't me. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 11:08:48 PM 737 Views
Re: Yeah, um, that wasn't me. Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:11:04 PM 725 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 741 Views
See, this is what I find offensive Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:21:28 PM 731 Views
Fair enough. It was unfair of me to use "learn." Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 11:30:34 PM 707 Views
Re: Fair enough. It was unfair of me to use "learn." Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:32:29 PM 717 Views
That's kind of my point, though. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 11:33:51 PM 681 Views
Two posts in three days about a new Government in the country? snoopcester - 13/05/2010 11:18:06 PM 737 Views
This is so true Wibble - 13/05/2010 11:29:30 PM 711 Views

I could be Tory enough for both of us, if you like. Rebekah - 13/05/2010 11:45:41 PM 729 Views
Sorry. But I can't bring myself to vote for 'that bloody party' Wibble - 13/05/2010 11:48:26 PM 724 Views
Re: Sorry. But I can't bring myself to vote for 'that bloody party' Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:54:10 PM 705 Views
I hereby invite myself to the said discussion. *NM* Tim - 14/05/2010 12:13:34 PM 305 Views
I certainly wouldn't go that far. Nowhere near. *NM* Rebekah - 13/05/2010 11:43:20 PM 375 Views
On the comparison or on you people's spelling? *NM* Ghavrel - 14/05/2010 12:13:42 AM 330 Views

They were not delivered condescendingly. I am sorry you took it as such. The Shrike - 13/05/2010 11:50:23 PM 685 Views
Re: They were not delivered condescendingly. I am sorry you took it as such. Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:53:08 PM 736 Views

Oh well. The Shrike - 14/05/2010 02:48:51 AM 776 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 830 Views
thank you. Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:46:38 PM 698 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 654 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 661 Views
You think Tories won't go proto-Orwellian on you? Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:46:45 PM 651 Views
If both, theoretically, will abuse power, then The Shrike - 13/05/2010 11:54:53 PM 743 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 646 Views
Lets be honest Wibble - 14/05/2010 12:11:44 AM 772 Views
True fact. *NM* Rebekah - 14/05/2010 12:12:36 AM 346 Views
Very true, however Mark - 14/05/2010 03:54:21 PM 795 Views
Surely a good part of that is just humour, though? Legolas - 14/05/2010 12:25:21 AM 673 Views
Part of it, yes. Rebekah - 14/05/2010 08:43:12 AM 759 Views
