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 737 Views
That was excellent Camilla - 13/05/2010 12:48:34 PM 686 Views
That has been used a few times now snoopcester - 13/05/2010 01:27:50 PM 633 Views
Oh, well, it was new to me. Legolas - 13/05/2010 01:36:13 PM 676 Views
I do like one of the comments especially The Shrike - 13/05/2010 07:03:15 PM 620 Views
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

Your partisanship is getting annoying, actually. The Shrike - 13/05/2010 06:55:28 PM 803 Views
I'm Rebekah and I endorse this comment. Rebekah - 13/05/2010 08:10:03 PM 719 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 645 Views
Oh, come on. Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:29:38 PM 764 Views
Do you really spell it "superiour" in Britain? That's wonderful. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 10:37:21 PM 795 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 703 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 656 Views
Yeah, um, that wasn't me. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 11:08:48 PM 680 Views
Re: Yeah, um, that wasn't me. Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:11:04 PM 678 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 686 Views
See, this is what I find offensive Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:21:28 PM 684 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
That's kind of my point, though. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 11:33:51 PM 631 Views
Two posts in three days about a new Government in the country? snoopcester - 13/05/2010 11:18:06 PM 692 Views
This is so true Wibble - 13/05/2010 11:29:30 PM 655 Views
Re: This is so true Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:36:44 PM 669 Views
I could be Tory enough for both of us, if you like. Rebekah - 13/05/2010 11:45:41 PM 679 Views
Sorry. But I can't bring myself to vote for 'that bloody party' Wibble - 13/05/2010 11:48:26 PM 659 Views
Re: Sorry. But I can't bring myself to vote for 'that bloody party' Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:54:10 PM 648 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
On the comparison. Rebekah - 14/05/2010 01:08:17 PM 705 Views
Re: On the comparison. Camilla - 14/05/2010 01:56:00 PM 683 Views
Not for a good few centuries. *NM* Tim - 14/05/2010 12:19:36 PM 335 Views
They were not delivered condescendingly. I am sorry you took it as such. The Shrike - 13/05/2010 11:50:23 PM 638 Views
Re: They were not delivered condescendingly. I am sorry you took it as such. Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:53:08 PM 680 Views

Oh well. The Shrike - 14/05/2010 02:48:51 AM 720 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 780 Views
thank you. Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:46:38 PM 654 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 609 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 594 Views
If both, theoretically, will abuse power, then The Shrike - 13/05/2010 11:54:53 PM 695 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 591 Views
Lets be honest Wibble - 14/05/2010 12:11:44 AM 718 Views
True fact. *NM* Rebekah - 14/05/2010 12:12:36 AM 325 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 627 Views
Part of it, yes. Rebekah - 14/05/2010 08:43:12 AM 712 Views
