Do they think we're morons?

Seems Porl missed the obvious...

Your incoherent UKRM arguments.

 

Back from Hulland Scrotum already young Ginge?

 

I don't think so. There's plenty of contemporary literature and discussion
about matters that I consider more important than whether a minister's son
got a bit pissed one day but people on the whole don't care. They care about
how much their house is worth, by how much their tax is going to rise and
how much their personal liberities are being infringed which, on a
planetwide scale, is utterly irrelevant.

Mind you, if I did win I'd arrange for Des to get his own nightly talk-in
radio show.

Whoever you vote for you will be moaning down the pub with everyone else.
That's the whole point of why it's complete bollocks to suggest that if you
don't vote you can't moan about the state of affairs, as if there's an
innate relartionship between the two. You might just as well say "You can't
moan about bible bashers unless you choose a religion". The voting slip
doesn't have an attachment for a free moan, the moan comes courtesy of
living and breathing and thinking. In the Useful Scheme of Things category
there is nothing between the parties to make a choice. I have no problem
with people feeling they are contributing some useful input to the lives and
welfare of everyone by voting, I just don't subscribe to it myself. Saying I
don't have a "right" to moan about whichever government gets in is just
silly though.

 

The beano was never /quite/ that entertaining. Although my Gnasher fanclub
badge did develop a nasty rattle.

 

It's all bollox young P.

No-one needs a reason or a right to moan - it's just part of being
British.

I bet you feel very patriotic when you moan don't you?

 

I was back a couple of hours ago, only dropped in to say hello and have
a bite to eat...

t'were a bit quiet by UKRM standards, but probably would have seemed
more entertaining were I there with the aim of getting boozed up.

I think they're all having fun though.

 

It makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

 

Fair enough.

For you or them?

I bet they are, now you've gone home...

Did you notice the hedges around the pub quivering and giggling as you
drove off?

 

And a bit woody?

 

In their tents. It'll be a heady cocktail of shared body warmth, and
dampness, probably.

Nope. I was too busy trying to avoid all the people pointing at me and
laughing.

 

TMI. WTMI.

TOG there?

You must be used to that by now surely.

 

Bremner bird and Fortune ...

 

I bet you're breathing a sigh of relief there

 

Bollocks - I think both lab and tories have lost the plot

There are stories concerning the Lib-dem councillor for Watford central
taking bribes over the station taxi rank debacle

I am running out of options

So I'm running out of choices, but I'm fucked if I'm going to lie down
and take it and not whinge

I don't know who laid down in stone that you have to vote or else you
can't whinge, but I no longer buy into this shit

 

Well said, but ... give me that option, it doesn't currently exist.

I've still not been presented with a viable choice

 

There you go again - vote for whom ?

Will you get a brain cell or STFU ?

 

So you are content with the alternatives ?

I have to invoke Bear's "seemingly intelligent" argument here

If you have a choice between two equally unpalatable alternatives, why
should you vote for either ?

You're giving them credibility which they don't deserve

There is a general loss of faith with Labour and a lack of credibility
with the tories

I don't trust not am I interested in the policies of either of them

I reserve the right to expect something different and better, otherwise,
how can politics move forwards in this country ?

What democracy ?

 

Easier said than donr, it's stacked against you

Have you actually seen what's entailed in e.g getting air time on the TV
?
