Oh, come on. Camilla Send a noteboard - 13/05/2010 10:29:38 PM
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."


don't quote me back at me in that superiour fashion. You don't think I am able to live with people who disagree with me? One of my best friends is a fundamentalist Christian who voted Conservative. Please.

I am sorry. You are about to get the pent-up frustration from Greg's condescending remarks, but bear with me. I have posted two whole posts in which I went my frustration at the Con-Lib coalition. One was very short, the other was a link to a humorous take on it all. My God, how dare I. This is following years on a political left that does not even exist in Britain, and after the first hope of actual electoral reform which might change the British political landscape forever, but which was dashed at the feet of this truly problematic union of the furthest left and the furthest right of the two semi-viable British parties, all with Maggie in the back of my mind. I'm so fed up I can't even find words right now. I'll leave you to your superiour "understanding".

Her 101 reasons to love our Tory government was even better. Legolas - 13/05/2010 12:42:39 PM 759 Views
That was excellent Camilla - 13/05/2010 12:48:34 PM 704 Views
That has been used a few times now snoopcester - 13/05/2010 01:27:50 PM 650 Views
Oh, well, it was new to me. Legolas - 13/05/2010 01:36:13 PM 695 Views
I do like one of the comments especially The Shrike - 13/05/2010 07:03:15 PM 640 Views
I agree. Legolas - 13/05/2010 07:11:40 PM 730 Views
What an even-handed, stereotype-free, and balanced piece of journalism. *NM* Tim - 13/05/2010 02:07:35 PM 351 Views
Yup. *NM* Camilla - 13/05/2010 02:09:35 PM 317 Views

Your partisanship is getting annoying, actually. The Shrike - 13/05/2010 06:55:28 PM 823 Views
I'm Rebekah and I endorse this comment. Rebekah - 13/05/2010 08:10:03 PM 738 Views

I'm sorry I care about politics. Camilla - 13/05/2010 08:45:26 PM 766 Views
It's easy to complain. Actually doing something is rather more difficult. *NM* Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 10:17:47 PM 315 Views
What do you suggest I do, pray tell? *NM* Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:19:30 PM 298 Views
Learn how to live with people who disagree with you. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 10:21:08 PM 666 Views
Oh, come on. Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:29:38 PM 784 Views
Do you really spell it "superiour" in Britain? That's wonderful. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 10:37:21 PM 816 Views
Pretty please with sugar on top Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:50:48 PM 743 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 721 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 679 Views
Yeah, um, that wasn't me. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 11:08:48 PM 701 Views
Re: Yeah, um, that wasn't me. Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:11:04 PM 696 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 709 Views
See, this is what I find offensive Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:21:28 PM 702 Views
Fair enough. It was unfair of me to use "learn." Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 11:30:34 PM 679 Views
Re: Fair enough. It was unfair of me to use "learn." Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:32:29 PM 689 Views
That's kind of my point, though. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 11:33:51 PM 651 Views
Two posts in three days about a new Government in the country? snoopcester - 13/05/2010 11:18:06 PM 713 Views
This is so true Wibble - 13/05/2010 11:29:30 PM 684 Views
Re: This is so true Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:36:44 PM 689 Views
I could be Tory enough for both of us, if you like. Rebekah - 13/05/2010 11:45:41 PM 699 Views
Sorry. But I can't bring myself to vote for 'that bloody party' Wibble - 13/05/2010 11:48:26 PM 681 Views
Re: Sorry. But I can't bring myself to vote for 'that bloody party' Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:54:10 PM 668 Views
I hereby invite myself to the said discussion. *NM* Tim - 14/05/2010 12:13:34 PM 289 Views
I certainly wouldn't go that far. Nowhere near. *NM* Rebekah - 13/05/2010 11:43:20 PM 355 Views
On the comparison or on you people's spelling? *NM* Ghavrel - 14/05/2010 12:13:42 AM 314 Views
On the comparison. Rebekah - 14/05/2010 01:08:17 PM 725 Views
Re: On the comparison. Camilla - 14/05/2010 01:56:00 PM 702 Views
Not for a good few centuries. *NM* Tim - 14/05/2010 12:19:36 PM 345 Views
They were not delivered condescendingly. I am sorry you took it as such. The Shrike - 13/05/2010 11:50:23 PM 658 Views
Re: They were not delivered condescendingly. I am sorry you took it as such. Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:53:08 PM 697 Views

Oh well. The Shrike - 14/05/2010 02:48:51 AM 740 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 796 Views
thank you. Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:46:38 PM 673 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 627 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 628 Views
You think Tories won't go proto-Orwellian on you? Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:46:45 PM 617 Views
If both, theoretically, will abuse power, then The Shrike - 13/05/2010 11:54:53 PM 714 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 612 Views
Lets be honest Wibble - 14/05/2010 12:11:44 AM 742 Views
True fact. *NM* Rebekah - 14/05/2010 12:12:36 AM 332 Views
Very true, however Mark - 14/05/2010 03:54:21 PM 767 Views
Surely a good part of that is just humour, though? Legolas - 14/05/2010 12:25:21 AM 645 Views
Part of it, yes. Rebekah - 14/05/2010 08:43:12 AM 728 Views

Re: Well. snoopcester - 14/05/2010 02:58:57 PM 1079 Views
