Re: People are saying it because those with a good knowledge of the party are telling them that. snoopcester Send a noteboard - 14/05/2010 01:28:38 PM
I find the Spectator is quite a worrying magazine and take everything it has to say about everyone with a large bag of salt.


While I find it worrying as well, that is more my view on the political right showing though... it has good ties with members of the Conservative party and is fairly reliable for reflecting that.

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.


Yeah, I am currently leaning more to it being a screw up where the intent was purely to secure the coalition in place through till the end of the term but no one stopped to consider what the actual implication of what they were doing was.
It does seem to be a unifying issue, from the coverage today pretty much everyone is against it who hasn't bought into the coalition be they on the right or the left.

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

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 685 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 611 Views
