to hate Gideon even more after seeing him crying at Thatchers funeral?

[ssd]

detest that man, he cries at a funeral like this then goes back to ruining lives

utterly hate him

Lol at death throes!

You do know that your lot are fucked come 2014?

We shall see KarlosKKrinkelbeim - elections coming up soon.

A local bye election had a 17% swing to the LibDems from the Tories. (No nonsense about a coalition at the local level.)

I stayed off threads lauding MT because I would have had to sit on my hands a lot and it makes typing rather tricky.

Go and praise Thatcher somewhere else and let us giggle at Osborne.

That's right, everyone, STOP having so much fun!

KKK is going to instruct us on how we are a dying breed.

@usualsuspect. It's not an either/or choice. It's possible to be both dim and a Tory.

Almost obligatory really.

KKK (clever) is probably Mrs Gideon, getting all cross with the nasty internet people being mean to her pudgy-faced DH.

There can be no other reason why anyone would choose to defend him.

Wow, only just caught up with this thread and am bemused by the derailment into accusations of anti-semitism a few hundred posts back. Threads do take odd turns sometimes but seriously, someone was 'offended' because 'how much can I turn the thumbscrews on the poor and disabled today' Gideon sounds as if he might be a bit Jewish, ffs?

Even though a. he isn't and b. it's a Biblical name, like Ben or Sam, not exclusively reserved for the children of Israel (who are no doubt jolly relieved that Gideon is not amongst their number) and c. that's spectacularly missing the point?

That is some serious desperate stretching for a far-fetched reason to object to people taking the piss.

Because, Twat my dear, she is a resident of the moral high ground, where humour is outlawed and flabby faced manbots are worshipped.

The Tories may well not win in 2014. That doesn't mean socialism will. Even the Labour party now doesn't dissent from any of the main planks of her reforms. Lefties are always whining about how there is no genuine left-wing alternative in mainstream politics. If that isn't defeat, I don't know what is.

Nope. Not whining here.

I've changed my mind. She is Louise Mensch.

This thread is brilliant.

Louise Mensch aka 'Baggy' Bagshawe is a screeching crazy.

Giddy: "Look, Baggy, I can make wee wee come out of my face."

I literally cannot comprehend how bereft of amusement your life would have to be to find the premise of this thread funny.
God knows, I've known boredom. I've sat through double maths. I once had to spend a week combing through legislation on stamp duty reserve tax. but the notion that I could ever have enough tedium inflicted upon me to find a thread like this funny ... no, this could never happen to me. Thank fuck.

Then why are you reading it, Karlos?

BTW tax is interesting.

YANBU

Tax is only interesting if it's a rebate.

Double maths and tax returns?

The extent of Tory hardship, in a nutshell.

I suppose I am goggling in horrified fascination at you all, really.
Some of my closest friends would identify as left wing but I have never witnessed puerility on this level from them .. . maybe it's a kind of perversion you lefties like to indulge in behind closed doors and in RL you all appear perfectly normal?

No, I am seriously puerile most of the time. I really couldn't care less what some faceless stranger/tory thinks of my views on anything.

I might be a raging leftie, but I know some Tories I married one and even they think Gideon is a cunt.

Perhaps Gideon was crying because the IMF had described his performance as lacklustre? Not what we expect from a star of the Tory firmament is it?

So far as hardship is concerned, IME it's usually the privileged types who indulge in limp-wristed left-wing idiocy. Those of us who've been through the fire in one way or the other tend to be a bit more hard-headed about things. Having a DS with a disability has certainly opened my eyes to the pointlessness of throwing money at state health and education services, for example.

I'd love to be privileged.

And I also have a ds with a disability. It is very naive to believe that those similarities would make me a Tory.
