Goo on! Clock him a fucker!!!

I've got the garlic butter ready for him, try not to damage his shell so he can sit in the sauce pan nicely. Just got to get someone willing to swallow his views....

I suppose after their damning condemnation of this government's immigration handling and solutions, I can now openly admit to my membership of The Institute of Directors....

Well, Mulluscan friend, I merely question your use of the word 'repulsive'.

You may well disagree with my political views, and I have no problem with that, but for an obvious Tory supporter to describe anyone's views as 'repulsive' simply because they disagree with you, and can see through the paucity and dishonesty of the Self-Servatives' election strategy really does take the biscuit.

'Repulsive' is the Self-Servatives' lie that the 2008 financial crash was caused by the previous Labour government, ''repulsive' is the Self-Servatives' lie that a vote for the SDP was a vote for Labour, repulsive' is the demonising of refugees by the Daily Heil and its ilk, 'repulsive' is the culling of the sick and disabled by The Spawn of The Devil, ID-S

It's a good idea to choose your words carefully, they are liable to come back and bite your arse.

So, Backwoodsman, if you don't like democracy what are you going to put in its place? If you put me in the same bracket as Stanron, you really aren't getting the point.

Al's thread title fucked it to begin with. It is a marmite title. You either agree with it or you don't. I don't think ya boo! Descriptions invite serious comment. But being objective isn't to take a stance either way.

Mind you, Keith's choice of comic confirms how weak gullible sods encourage cynical owners of newspapers. Whilst ever fools believe what they read, it'll keep getting printed.

I suppose less people read some political styled rags than others because intelligent people don't need to be fed horseshit of any persuasion whilst petty ideas attract petty minded individuals. The likes of Dacre at The Daily M*il realise that confirming peoples' bigotry and narrow mindedness sells far more copy than relating news. It is self righteousness on tomorrow's' chip wrapper.

Strictly speaking, Al, only those eligible to vote in the Witney constituency voted for him. But you're right, he's a shit - almost as much of a shit as the Spawn of The Devil, IDS.

There is a reason why there are few left wing papers.
Few want to buy them.
You have your cause and effect mixed up.

The Mirror is available, but more want the Mail.
Call them all feeble minded if it makes you feel better, but that is not the cause either.

"Partly correct"

Praise indeed. I must change how I word things, as it can lead to unintended consequence. I have my street cred to think about..

Mind you, spot on in which Musket wrote it...

Mither is partly correct that the soundbite media fetish is dangerous, but the bias of the UK media is worse than simply that.

There is a train of thought, when looking at the numbers that things might have been slightly better if more people voted conservative.

His slim majority means he has to keep the less savoury elements of his party on board to deliver any legislation at all. Regardless of whether he is nice to his gran or eats babies.

The thing is, when we all cast our votes, I doubt anybody actually thought either party would win a majority to form a government with. So they genuinely think they have a mandate.

Prior to the election, I was saying that Jeremy Hunt had turned out to be a better health secretary than any of us expected. After the election, he has turned political incompetence and scorn for his brief into an art form. He is positively dangerous.

But. They formed a government. The lesson here is that in the world of soundbite media, it is increasingly the case that presentation beats substance. Although, I didn't see too much substance in Labour's campaign either.

IMNSHO it was uncertainty, the fragmented choices, fear of quadruple dip recession (think China right now) and ineffectual politicians.
The public, en mass, did what we all do faced with choice we can't resolve. Go with the familiar. In this case the incumbent. If we were flushed with money, generally, we would be more adventurous.

Anyway, as trivial as it may seem, they picked the wrong Miliband. The pretty one would have fared better. Think Michael Foot. When did he win an election? Sorry to disappoint all those level-headed posters here, pretty wins votes and it may only be a few (in your eyes), but every vote you win, doubles the delta!

And look who we heading towards getting as head of opposition. A latter day Michael Foot.

History repeats itself, it has to, nobody is listening.

Neither were believed unquestioningly.

More upset with Iain Duncan Smith, persecuting the sick and disabled. There have already been suicides due to the pressure of fulfilling benefit conditions. Thee are now going to be many more due to further pursuing of sick and vulnerable people. The financial costs to the public will be even greater than the money saved by cracking down. How can any Christian sleep, knowing they are causing mentally and physically ill people -intolerable pressure which will end in their deaths?

Unpopular because the Self-Servatives' campaign consisted of nothing more than smears and lies about Labour, the SNP, the cause(s) of the Financial Crash of 2008, and many other things.

They presented not one policy on which they themselves might be judged, and the feeble-minded of the electorate fell for it.

I suspect most people agree with the above posts (myself included).
Alas, it only goes to show how unpopular Muppet Miliband & Numptie Nigel were during the G.E. that they lost to Cameron the Cringeworthy.
