Re: People are saying it because those with a good knowledge of the party are telling them that. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 14/05/2010 01:05:44 PM
It is generally a good idea to assume a magazine like the Spectator has a pretty good idea of what is going on in the Tory party -


I find the Spectator is quite a worrying magazine and take everything it has to say about everyone with a large bag of salt.


The 55% for dissolution of Parliament is at best a pretty bone-headed move and at worst an attempt to alter the system to protect the Government from future unpopularity in an undemocratic way. Not a great start there.


That's a little scary, yes. Some former Lib Dem chappy says everyone's over-reacting about that, but I guess he has to say that.


Time will tell, for me though it is for them to prove themselves, not be given a free ride. There have been some good moves - mostly the choices of Minister for Justice and Attorney General. There is still a lot to prove though, so we shall see.


Indeed.

What an even-handed, stereotype-free, and balanced piece of journalism. *NM* Tim - 13/05/2010 02:07:35 PM 354 Views

It's easy to complain. Actually doing something is rather more difficult. *NM* Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 10:17:47 PM 317 Views
What do you suggest I do, pray tell? *NM* Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:19:30 PM 301 Views

Oh, come on. Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:29:38 PM 788 Views
Do you really spell it "superiour" in Britain? That's wonderful. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 10:37:21 PM 821 Views
Pretty please with sugar on top Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:50:48 PM 749 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 715 Views
See, this is what I find offensive Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:21:28 PM 708 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 634 Views
