She said she "Used to vote labour" or something like that. I don't know. But i'm with you on the speaking your mind thing. The outspoken politicians are the best.

Also the ridiculous. *Cough* Boris Johnson *cough*

Nate 04-29-2010 03:39 PM

I'm yet to read any article that quotes what she actually said.

Brown should have had the guts to stand up and say "No, actually she was bigoted. I don't need votes from someone like that". Backing down and apologising just makes him look about as weak as he actually is.

Wings of Fire 04-29-2010 03:40 PM

The reason he didn't and he can't, is half of everything wrong with politics.

Strike Witch 04-29-2010 03:43 PM

I'm voting for Margaret Thatcher.

I think you've just worked out the other half of what WoF was talking about.

Wings of Fire 04-29-2010 03:49 PM

Me and SW cannot be friends any longer. I'm going to pretend to block her now.

I also would like to know the full story behind this little old lady thing. Though my view on it is if Brown thinks she's a bigot, he's got the right to express his opinion no matter how much I dislike him.

If Boris Johnson was head of the conservatives I wouldn't even hesistate to vote for him. He's a wonderful man, and, in a rarity for politicans, is honest. Mad as a hatter, but honest. As it is I'm still reluctant to vote for them, as I really don't like Cameron.

Gordon Brown says the "time for decision has begun" for voters as the party leaders return to the campaign trail after the final TV debate.

The prime minister, who snap polls suggested came third in the debate, said he was not fighting for himself but for the "future of this country".

Can you say 'Shallow rhetoric'?

shaman 04-30-2010 06:43 AM

Christ.

Fighting for the future of this contry is an admirable idea. But it's not like none of the other wouldn't say that.

Your spelling is atrocious tonight.

To be fair, his comments in full probably comprised more than those two phrases.

Grieva 04-30-2010 09:10 AM

Just watched the 3rd debate, Nick Clegg definitely seemed to come out on top, again, I wish Gordon Brown would stop smiling.

Wings of Fire 04-30-2010 09:17 AM

The Conservatives have unveiled a "contract" listing 16 policy pledges they promise to keep if they win power. The party says it will stick to its plans on the economy, health, education and benefits. Mr Cameron says the leaflet, which will be sent to two million homes in target constituencies, would get people behind his ideas for a "big society".
But why doesn't he keep to his whole manifesto?

:

Gordon Brown "deserves to be driven from office" for failing to properly equip the armed forces during his time as chancellor and prime minister, former Tory defence secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind says. On the campaign trail in Stirling, Sir Malcolm accused Mr Brown of being "mean" towards the troops.
The maturity and eloquence of the Tories in action.

:

Alastair Campbell has hit out at claims he was overheard saying "we've had it now" after last night's debate. The former Labour communications chief said the rumour was spread by "desperate" Tories. He says he was talking about his favourite football team, Burnley. But while Burnley have been relegated, Fulham's Europa League win on Thursday evening might have been expected to cheer Mr Campbell, because it means his club is in with a chance of qualifying for next year's competition.
Nice to see someone has their priorities right...

:

The Lib Dems' election broadcast tonight stars members of the public who signed up as supporters on Facebook. The party says Nick Clegg has garnered more than 50,000 fans on the social networking site - up from just over 13,000 before the first televised debate.
It'd be hilarious if they get a troll.

Indeed it bloody is. Alastair Campbell's football tendancies are the one soft spot I have for Labour.

Another 5 years of Labour would be hell. Gordon Brown is a jackass.

Another five years and you have the right to say things like that.

Nate 05-01-2010 06:51 PM

Do you think that, even if they win the election, Gordon Brown would last another five years?

Wings of Fire 05-01-2010 06:54 PM

Not if Sue has her way.

shaman 05-02-2010 06:23 PM

If labour get in, i can see them having a leadership contest almost immidately and ousting his ass.

That is a good thought. wasn't it last year labour wanted to kick him out?
if he does get in, I'll give him a year.

i'll give him fuck all, that's what i'll give him.

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!


I have a question: what is so bad about a hung parliment? Really, what is so bad about the main parties having equal power? That sounds pretty fair.

Because they're the best of the lot. They are shit, but not as shit as the Liberal Democrats, and not quite as bad as the Tories. I wasn't going to vote at all, but I wanted to keep Cameron out. I made that quite clear. I'm quite sure you've said you support the Tories, so I don't understand why you feel that you can point and criticise someone else's decision.

Hard Mode: Not allowed to say 'Because none of their MPs have ever had positions of power.

OddjobAbe 05-06-2010 11:15 AM

We're in too much of a state to let what for so long has been a bit of a joke take over. The only reason they've gained some popularity is because they're not Labour or Conservative. Anyone who's voted Nick Clegg wants their fucking heads looking at. He's a joke.

Okay.

I'll tell that to my flatmates and myself then. Thanks for your ad hominums.

No, no i just felt like being cheeky. :p

Also, i don't know who i'd vote for. I am a floating voter on the right of centre.

EDIT: And one more thing. The number of people voting for the lib dems rather bothers me.

You being sympathetic to the BNP bothers me, and my reasons are far better than yours.

If you're not going to say something of substance, don't say anything at all.

Some kids piss their name in the snow. Nick Clegg can piss his name into concrete.

Then I have absolutely no problem with you. I apologise that I took your post differently to how it was perhaps intended.
