Anyone else shocked by Cameron's comment last night or is it just me?!

no, not not. Not that the correction makes any more sense!

Isn't it to be expected....?

Haven't come across any Labour/Liberal invaders..

(not saying lincstash is an invader btw)

I think Lib Dems can win if that theory of Lib Dem = Labour stops being pushed, or at least believed, because Tories are, of course, going to push it. I know you are a tory, so no point trying to pursuade you. I am talking to others out there who may vote Lib Dem but are worried about the hung parliament.

A hung parliament is affected by the minority parties - that's been the experience here in Scotland, so not, the net effect is not the same as voting for labour.

Not really - she/he's so obvious.

Who cares?...she's doing a brilliant job on MN

i winced for him for saying it, but only because in this country people seem to think black is a dirty word. In the US it would be no big deal.

I think lincstash is a tory invader.

lincstash - what makes you think cameron has got any integrity?

Downdog, indeed. My grandparents were Irish immigrants - wasn't that long ago that "No Irish" was listed alongside "no blacks" in notices letting rooms, was it?

Well if you vote libdem, your voting labour. The practical real world effect of your vote may be to create a hung parliment , which then gives labour the first refusal to retain government. So you may be voting libdem in theory, but in practice labour will benefit from your vote. You might as well vote labour in practice.

lincstash why would you assume we vote labour? That is the first false assumption you make. I, personally, am going to vote Lib Dem. I am not going to get into a debate about labour as I have no cause to defend them, but if you talk about honesty, do you really think that any of them made any throw away remarks last night? I think they are all better trained / advised than that.

Ah now it's not just in schools...

I indoctrinate my children into my own particular politically correct, bleeding heart liberal politics at home too

I'm an immigrant - from NZ & have white skin. I'm amazed how many people go on about the 'immigrant issue' to me without even considering me to be an immigrant.

Immigration issues around at the moment just seem to be veiled racisim - what they really mean aren't all immigrants (I appear to be perfectly respectable being white & from NZ) and am therefore largely acceptable), but people who speak differently and/or are a different colour.

Loving your posts Lincstash....

funnily enough my 14 yo DD said, "he cant say that" "

Dont you think its sad that at 14 she has been indoctrinated with the politically correct looney left bollox endemic in our schools?

Next she'll being coming out with 'all men are rapists' and 'immigrants contribute financially to our society'.

we need a law to stop our kids being brainwashed with garbage like this, and give them chance to make up there own minds from other, alternative, sources which are unbiassed.

''so typical of the looney left stalinist morons''

wow lincstash thanks for that!

What a storm in a teacup. What we have on this thread bunch of looney lefties trying to make something out of a throw away remark.

Yet you have Peter Mandelson, the most corrupt, dishonest, two faced, plunderer of the public purse, and none of you bat an eyelid about returning HIM to power (which you will do if you vote Labour).

I think its far more fundamental NOT to vote corrupt thieves who have been ejected from public office twice into power. if you want decent honest politicians, then you have to vote in decent honest men, and that starts with ejecting the current government, not a single one is fit for public office.

Id rather have an honest guy with integrity like Cameron even if he make the odd verbal gaffe as PM than a lying thieving two faced politically correct cretin like Brown.

Trying to create political mud from nothing, so typical of the looney left stalinist morons that currently control most of this countries unions, and if Labour get back in, will create another winter of discontent for us. Theres bigger issues here other than trivial throw away remarks by DC.

funnily enough my 14 yo DD said, "he cant say that"

Yep - I thought the comment was laughable! I don't think it was racist as such but he certainly seemed so proud he managed to talk to a black person he had to share it with the nation!

it's rather like people who say

'i'm not racist, i have black friends'

it's the same as

'this isn't racist, i know a black person who said it too.'

Spot on ruddynorah. My immediation reaction was WTF?!

"Anyone else smells racism?!"

Err noo..

I do smell the madness a of bucket of frogs with no bloody clue.

Enjoy the tsumani when it comes...

it's rather like people who say

Not that all black people think immigration is high, one black man. So why did he use that one black man?

No, he isn't Nick Griffin, i'm sure he isn't, but what he said is racist because it supposes that black people don't have as wide a variety of views on immigration as the next person.

You can say racist things and not be a racist. You can not say racist things and be a racist.

Just checked, it was 14 pints per day
