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 757 Views
That has been used a few times now snoopcester - 13/05/2010 01:27:50 PM 701 Views

I do like one of the comments especially The Shrike - 13/05/2010 07:03:15 PM 689 Views
I agree. Legolas - 13/05/2010 07:11:40 PM 789 Views
What an even-handed, stereotype-free, and balanced piece of journalism. *NM* Tim - 13/05/2010 02:07:35 PM 385 Views
Yup. *NM* Camilla - 13/05/2010 02:09:35 PM 343 Views

I'm sorry I care about politics. Camilla - 13/05/2010 08:45:26 PM 813 Views
It's easy to complain. Actually doing something is rather more difficult. *NM* Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 10:17:47 PM 338 Views
What do you suggest I do, pray tell? *NM* Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:19:30 PM 321 Views
Learn how to live with people who disagree with you. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 10:21:08 PM 720 Views
Oh, come on. Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:29:38 PM 839 Views
Do you really spell it "superiour" in Britain? That's wonderful. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 10:37:21 PM 869 Views
Pretty please with sugar on top Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:50:48 PM 795 Views

Re: Yeah, um, that wasn't me. Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:11:04 PM 743 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 758 Views
See, this is what I find offensive Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:21:28 PM 749 Views
Fair enough. It was unfair of me to use "learn." Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 11:30:34 PM 727 Views
Re: Fair enough. It was unfair of me to use "learn." Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:32:29 PM 733 Views
That's kind of my point, though. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 11:33:51 PM 702 Views
Two posts in three days about a new Government in the country? snoopcester - 13/05/2010 11:18:06 PM 763 Views

I could be Tory enough for both of us, if you like. Rebekah - 13/05/2010 11:45:41 PM 757 Views
Sorry. But I can't bring myself to vote for 'that bloody party' Wibble - 13/05/2010 11:48:26 PM 741 Views
Re: Sorry. But I can't bring myself to vote for 'that bloody party' Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:54:10 PM 724 Views
I hereby invite myself to the said discussion. *NM* Tim - 14/05/2010 12:13:34 PM 312 Views
I certainly wouldn't go that far. Nowhere near. *NM* Rebekah - 13/05/2010 11:43:20 PM 394 Views
On the comparison or on you people's spelling? *NM* Ghavrel - 14/05/2010 12:13:42 AM 339 Views

They were not delivered condescendingly. I am sorry you took it as such. The Shrike - 13/05/2010 11:50:23 PM 706 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 671 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 684 Views
You think Tories won't go proto-Orwellian on you? Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:46:45 PM 668 Views
If both, theoretically, will abuse power, then The Shrike - 13/05/2010 11:54:53 PM 758 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 670 Views
Lets be honest Wibble - 14/05/2010 12:11:44 AM 795 Views
True fact. *NM* Rebekah - 14/05/2010 12:12:36 AM 355 Views
Very true, however Mark - 14/05/2010 03:54:21 PM 817 Views
Surely a good part of that is just humour, though? Legolas - 14/05/2010 12:25:21 AM 695 Views
Part of it, yes. Rebekah - 14/05/2010 08:43:12 AM 773 Views
