Meh. That wasn't meant to be condescending. I never expected the ou to enter that word, is all. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 13/05/2010 11:02:11 PM
This is not America. This is Britain.

I'm beginning to think this is a European defense mechanism that you people just reflexively say. Where on earth have I made any comment relating to America? You realize that the United States government also frequently does not represent the population of the country? Hell, it represents it even less than the UK in some aspects; the Executive branch is all-or-nothing for one party.

That was excellent Camilla - 13/05/2010 12:48:34 PM 834 Views
That has been used a few times now snoopcester - 13/05/2010 01:27:50 PM 758 Views

I do like one of the comments especially The Shrike - 13/05/2010 07:03:15 PM 749 Views
I agree. Legolas - 13/05/2010 07:11:40 PM 858 Views
What an even-handed, stereotype-free, and balanced piece of journalism. *NM* Tim - 13/05/2010 02:07:35 PM 434 Views
Yup. *NM* Camilla - 13/05/2010 02:09:35 PM 376 Views

I'm sorry I care about politics. Camilla - 13/05/2010 08:45:26 PM 883 Views
It's easy to complain. Actually doing something is rather more difficult. *NM* Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 10:17:47 PM 367 Views
What do you suggest I do, pray tell? *NM* Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:19:30 PM 367 Views
Learn how to live with people who disagree with you. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 10:21:08 PM 789 Views
Oh, come on. Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:29:38 PM 924 Views
Do you really spell it "superiour" in Britain? That's wonderful. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 10:37:21 PM 939 Views
Pretty please with sugar on top Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:50:48 PM 850 Views

Re: Yeah, um, that wasn't me. Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:11:04 PM 808 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 825 Views
See, this is what I find offensive Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:21:28 PM 819 Views
Fair enough. It was unfair of me to use "learn." Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 11:30:34 PM 788 Views
Re: Fair enough. It was unfair of me to use "learn." Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:32:29 PM 797 Views
That's kind of my point, though. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 11:33:51 PM 765 Views
Two posts in three days about a new Government in the country? snoopcester - 13/05/2010 11:18:06 PM 844 Views

I could be Tory enough for both of us, if you like. Rebekah - 13/05/2010 11:45:41 PM 830 Views
Sorry. But I can't bring myself to vote for 'that bloody party' Wibble - 13/05/2010 11:48:26 PM 811 Views
Re: Sorry. But I can't bring myself to vote for 'that bloody party' Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:54:10 PM 786 Views
I hereby invite myself to the said discussion. *NM* Tim - 14/05/2010 12:13:34 PM 344 Views
I certainly wouldn't go that far. Nowhere near. *NM* Rebekah - 13/05/2010 11:43:20 PM 426 Views
On the comparison or on you people's spelling? *NM* Ghavrel - 14/05/2010 12:13:42 AM 376 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 739 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 766 Views
You think Tories won't go proto-Orwellian on you? Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:46:45 PM 762 Views
If both, theoretically, will abuse power, then The Shrike - 13/05/2010 11:54:53 PM 846 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 741 Views
Lets be honest Wibble - 14/05/2010 12:11:44 AM 859 Views
True fact. *NM* Rebekah - 14/05/2010 12:12:36 AM 390 Views
Very true, however Mark - 14/05/2010 03:54:21 PM 882 Views
Surely a good part of that is just humour, though? Legolas - 14/05/2010 12:25:21 AM 760 Views
Part of it, yes. Rebekah - 14/05/2010 08:43:12 AM 837 Views
