Lefties 7: Simples

Mme 'Today I posted on a normal politics thread an it was very confrontational.' Love that understatement!

posted something v. long - and lost it with internet connection.

Sophable - you are being a bit naughty re. Mr Gove, surely?

Am torn re. thread. Am missing some v. good posters, who are not of left-centrist persuasion.

To paraphrase, you all think I'm talking bollocks I'll shut up now.

he wrote this for a start...not your typical tory

Aw, looks like Dougie A has been crying!

Not sure, Policy.

Today I posted on a normal politics thread an it was very confrontational. Now, I like a good barney but I don't think that I am ready for that kind of thread at the moment.

I don't think there is too much Tory-bashing here. And I like to think that we are not as scornful as the poster on the other thread

in bed. Changed the sheets today so bed is especially inviting.

Sorry, only read first page of this new thread before posting and now realise to my shame I am completely out of sync iwth everyone re meerkats/PMs etc.

Is he? I thought he was married to a woman?

Are you confusing him with Alan Duncan?

LDs want PR referendum to have equal state funding on both sides. Darn right.

Party funding is another calculation on coalitions and timing

awww....policy don't you think that the righties can take it?

lets be robust ladies!

Hello, can I butt in again? Going to bed now, but just wanted to ask if someone could explain the meerkats thing for me ready for the morning. Apologies if I'm being really thick/humourless/ignorant of vital cultural references.

Oh, btw, re unelected PM - haven't looked at that thread but has anyone made the point that Winston Churchill wasn't either, in 1940? That should shut 'em up

we are having angst because Policywonk feels that the lefty threads are becoming what PG Wodehouse would call;

"a rift within the lute,
which by and by shall make the music mute".

didn't gove to rather well on here t'other day?

i think you've got to love an openly out gay tory...imagine the fucking stick he got/gets!

The McCann case (sadly) was very divisive, I recall...I bet some lefties were arguing against each other on the (sad) McCann loss. So it will heal.

Need to go for shower and disinfect after Gove said 'seductively' to Wark.

Tosser.

tone has deteriorated? Not on this thread - its just like old times(!)
Glad I haven't ventured onto the other threads...
TDiddy hope you are right. I'm not that optimistic though.

god it was blood on the walls (most of it mine iirc) over iraq...i loved it tbh...

sorry if everyone is upset that behaviour is bad (vociferous posting? what does constitute bad behaviour...i think i'm very bad indeed prob) but i am SO PLEASE AND INVIGORATED AND VITALISED by how INTERESTING and open it all is, it is fabulous at the moment that anyone gives a shit! love that poeple are caring enough to get hot under the collar...huzzah!

(can someone fill me in, why there is angst here?)

Just marking really but please let us keep this little oasis here a bit longer. It's harsh out there.

It's true that the tone on the Politics board has deteriorated hugely over the last six weeks or so. (Eeeh, I remember when Politics used to see one new thread a week, which would get 20 posts max.)

Someone on another thread was saying that MN got like this around the Iraq War - sophable will probably remember, I wasn't here then. So I guess everybody will get over it and return to normal eventually. And we'll still be here talking about Apple's fish.

Not so sure nearlytoolate:

-if Labour behaves well, they can pick up more of the antiTory vote.

-Tactical voting by Libs and Labour might increase

-Tories are a bit demoralised as this was theirs to win

Important thing is conduct and NC is doing well on this. So is GB now.

FRIGGINGHELL

you lot watching newsnight or what?

DC having to offer cabinet seats to (his arch enemy) david davis, michael howard and ID fucking S!!! hahahahahahahaha

sorry but i yearn for a spitting image sketch about that meeting.

DC caught between rock and hard place, and frankly lab and cons clearly over a barrel...great great news for electoral reform.

soph, tbh I don't even know whether I'm happy any more. Am just utterly confuzzled. But absolutely hugging myself at what the Murdochs must be currently saying.

Anyway I'm afraid my take is that Lib/Lab is still untenable.
I do admire NC though
It might help push the Tories to some proper concessions on PR though.
But, it is imperative that a good coalition govnt is formed (of whatever colour). If not, there will be an early general election, the tories will do very well (as voters will want some kind of decisive answer) and that will be the end of hopes for political reform, pretty much forever
