Agree excellent decision for Labour to choose their moment.

DH is rather disappointed by the car that Alastair Darling has just been picked up in. A Ford Mondeo. He reckons they should have at least a Mercedes S Class.

Just found the speech on the BBC. He's bloody marvellous. If I try to talk I'll burst into tears.

Jacaqueen · 11/05/2010 19:47

Thanks wubblybubbly your description of DC has cheered me up.

InmyheadIminParis · 11/05/2010 19:47

And bloody Nick Robinson can't stop gloating. Boak.

Sorry, am reduced to ranting now.

Dont blame Gordon for (planning to)resign as MP. Can see how he's had enough of that malarkey unfortunately.

InmyheadIminParis · 11/05/2010 19:46

Thanks policy. Think I may just numb my head instead, I think.

Oh god. Feel awful. I was prepared, but I still feel miserable/angry/upset/furious with NC.

Groan. Again.

We are amazed how little security he has. The guy next to him at the traffic lights had a good look.

PMSL wubblybubbly at cillit bang salesman.

Those who voted them out deserve Hameron.

DavidHameron · 11/05/2010 19:46

Haven't caught up but master stroke by Dark Lords Campbell and Mandelson, no?

Here's the w . i . l . f. analysis:

stick the knife into the Tories the final time by resigning before the Tory/Lib deal signed, panicking the troops and encouraging the Tories to think they can form a minority govt, or forcing the LibDems into caving in on their PR demands in return for some power. In fighting and small minority for Tories, so Libs more likely to vote with the opposition in scenario 1. Or alternatively mass numbers of left Liberals defect or withdraw support in scenario 2

Either way, Labour Party is in a stronger position.

Genius. IMHO.

Will still stick in craw to see Fucking Hameron crowing and gloating about their Fucking Glorious (arf) victory though... I await the knives of Doom as soon as possible.

Its actually a great strategy bringing the kids, in case the Queen wanted to detain one for tea (Sorry Liz, its bedtime)

MmeLindt · 11/05/2010 19:43

That was quick. Lizzie wanted the boys out of the house before they smudged the furniture?

Oh Jesus I cannot watch that man walk in, I just cannot.

It will not be for long, I've got to believe that.

Now, how are we going to make sure that it's for as short a time as possible?

GetOrfMoiLand · 11/05/2010 19:43

Did someone say that they had posted a link to that 'Gordon you are great' thread to Sarah's twitter earlier.

Oh not that I think we areall important or owt. I would just really like them to see that there is a significant swathe of people in this country taht actually realises what a good PM he was, and it's not all what those dickhead RW tabloids think.

wubblybubbly · 11/05/2010 19:42

I wonder if the country has watched that speech and given a collective groan. They bought all that shite from Murdoch and have just replaced a principled, dignified statesman with a ham faced cillit bang salesman.

What a fucking liberty.

hungysavingexpertdotcom · 11/05/2010 19:42

So - did he time the speech so that BBC 6 o clock news wouldn't get it?
Looks like Libs have agreed the £6billion cuts immediately, and they'll get the £10k tax cut too - how the hell are they going to afford that?

InmyheadIminParis · 11/05/2010 19:42

Mme Lindt - no need to drink alone. I'm opening one too... with a large whisky chaser

MmeLindt · 11/05/2010 19:42

floods, terrorism, disease ... and the four horses of the apocalypse

If you think this is bad, wait until you have to watch Lord Snooty and his pals walk in to No 10

'contribation' ha ha

MarionCole · 11/05/2010 19:41

God bless you Gordon.
