Well, Labour are sitting on an 8 point lead right now and from time to time Millibland does get a bit spiky which is good.

Cameron and Osborne - too lefty! PMSL! Like what Backwoodsman says above - they have starved the poor to feed their own class.

For "DM" read "EM", I presume. On that basis agreed.

'Miliband looks like being the biggest Labour mistake since Michael Foot.'

With MF you knew what he believed in and stood for. I wouldn't like to guess DM's opinion on anything. Bit like Blair and Cameron really - both winners in their own unique way.

Well, I was kinda "havin' a larff".....kinda.

But I did predict, before the election, that the Tory Toffs would butt-fuck, with great vigour, their working- and middle-class supporters, whilst presenting the fatted calf to the rich, and they didn't let me down - they stayed true to their roots, which is precisely why I would never vote for that bunch of greedy tossers.

Strange that the person that many Americans (but not all) think of as their best President, F.D.Roosevelt was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and yet introduced the 'New Deal' policies. Becoming paralysed with polio was probably the thing that changed his view on life.

Some people in Cameron's own party think of him as a lefty, and are angry he didn't actually win the election, and he's constantly having to throw them a bit of 'raw meat'.

You more or less have to be a PR man nowadays - Gordon Brown tried not being and look where it got him. I think all our leaders are going to be like "assistant managers at Dixons" from now on. Miliband looks like being the biggest Labour mistake since Michael Foot.

I don't like a lot of the Coalition's policies, but anger on its own isn't going to do any good, neither is over-simplifying a situation . Where is the credible electable alternative coming from?

Robust debate. Lifeblood of social and family life in the UK. Regular, heated discussions around the dinner table, in the pub. Thing is, we (more often than not) tend to accept other's views and not take it all personally. I have to say, this causes problem on the internet where no problem actually exist. Excellent!

Interesting people, the Brits. They even argue when they are agreeing on something.

But, Backwoodsman - tell us why you have to be true to your roots? Is there no possibility of change of circumstances or attitudes in one's life?

And what are one's "roots" - father's, grandfather's, mother's, grandmother's? If you'd lived in my part of Lancashire in the 1950s, you'd have met many, many "working class" people who voted Tory - the fact they were working class wasn't necessarily linked to a political viewpoint.

I don't care if Cameron et al are Tory rights, wets, liberals or anything else - just so long as they take a humane and understanding view of society and the people in it as a whole - which they don't

The point isn't whether they remain true to their roots or not, the point is they have no idea what life is like of ordinary people who are suffering (unlike them) because of their vicious programme of cuts. And they could't give a shit either.

I bet you don't actually vomit though. I bet you don't watch question time, and keep a bucket there to chunder in.

If you did I feel sure you would have introduced it into the act years ago:-

Strolling Johnny - a smile, a song and projectile vomitting.....

I regard her, oddly, as even more hardline right than the posh boys (her stance on abortion is very like US fundagelical), but her point about their arrogance seems well made and the assertion that they (the arrogant posh boys) don't want to know anything about the lives of those outside their narrow circle of privileged elite cronies probably telling given the number of millionaires on the conservative front bench.

At least Cameron and Osborne have the decency to remain true to their roots.

There's only one thing more nauseating than a Working-Class Tory, and that's a Public-School Socialist. Both make me want to vomit.

Cameron lost his disabled son which I think has given him a bit of humanity - his wealth couldn't protect him from this. I don't have to switch the radio off when he's talking like I did with Thatcher.

I think William Hague is good at the job he's in at the moment.

Boris would be better off in showbiz.

Michael Gove is a complete twat.

I never thought I would agree with anything the dreadful Nadine Dorries said, but she is making a lot of news with her remarks that Cameron and Osborne are a couple of arrogant posh boys who don't know the price of milk, and don't want to know anything about the lives of those outside their narrow circle of privileged elite cronies.
