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

Hello people
Joins like minded fruitloops in dim corner of the internet.
I have finally watched a news today after my self imposed news blackout.
I missed the whole shebang.

Is Cameron 'limp-wristed and left-wing'? I wouldn't have thought so myself.

He is most definitely a 'privileged type', who had a severely disabled son.

"Is Cameron 'limp-wristed and left-wing'? I wouldn't have thought so myself.

I'm not even going to attempt to disentangle that one. I'm fairly certain it wouldn't be worth the effort. I'm off to bed.
But do keep validating each other. I can see you need the reassurance. Plus, it keeps you out of public circulation.

Are you stroking yourself, Karlos?

You sound like you're stroking yourself.

Karlos is off to bed, perchance to dream of us Lefties whacking her with pillows and bombarding her with peurile gags about fish heads in condoms (a la Steve Bell, aren't we all terrible)

I am off to bed too.

To dream of Osborne and Camoron losing everything and having to live off £57 a week.

It wasn't a tear, it was hatred of the poor in liquid form leaking out of his head.

The suggestion that Cameron/Gideon etc became Tories because they know hardship is the funniest thing I've seen on this thread.

Tories become Tories because they're scared of poor people. Any fool knows that.

"scared of poor people"

Gideon has a nightmare when small...

"Mumsy, mumsy! The nasty poor people were in my dream and they wanted me to think they were humans."

"There there Gideon poppet. It was just a nightmare. Become a Tory politician and you can make sure that they're not treated humanely for the rest of your life AND for your own financial gain."

"Thanks mumsy"

The privileged don't "become" Tory, they are raised Tory. They are in accord with their class, acting in their own interests

Of those who have come through the fire and become Tory, they are deluded and they are acting against their class.

Actually there is only one thing worse than a born Tory, that is a deluded one.

babyheave This can't be so. According to that most accurate source, wikipedia:

His mother is Felicity Alexandra Loxton-Peacock, the daughter of artist Lady Clarisse Loxton Peacock.[2][8] His mother was a Labour voter, an anti-Vietnam War marcher and worked for Amnesty International.

So maybe he didn't get on with mumsy and it's a reaction to her, or maybe mumsy was reacting to her upbringing in becoming a bit of a leftie, and he's just reverted to type.

I hesitate to say he is brainless and that's why he's a Tory, because he's clearly not brainless.

Oh dear :( Perhaps it was his nanny instead?

entirely possible that he is brainless

Oh, I don't know.

One of my old uni' friends was raised by Tories and became a staunch leftie. He is on the Green party council in Brighton now. We also used to socialise with a bloke who was your typical Tory boy. We assumed he'd be from a family of old Tories who had a shrine to Thatcher set up in the futility room. At graduation, his parents came and they'd been in the RAF (rough as fuck that is, not the Royal Air Force) Dad worked on a production line and his mother liked bingo. Nice folk though, made us wonder how they'd raised such a douche.

I don't think he is entirely brainless - he's thick in the sense of anti-intellectual the same as most tories are, certainly, but he's just intelligent enough to be dangerous.

The Tories may well not win in 2014. That doesn't mean socialism will

I would stake next month's rent on the Tories not winning the 2014 election nor Labour for that matter.

Mainly because the general election won't be held until 7th May 2015.

Really Karlos if you can't get basic facts like this roght, maybe you shouldn't be sounding off about politics with such certainty.

One of my old uni' friends was raised by Tories

That sounds like the start of one of those 'feral child' stories. A twist on 'raised by wolves in the Urals'.

'Raised by Tories in Kidderminster'

I think it sounds like one of those books where the child was awfully abused as a youngster, what are they called again??

you know the sort

"mummy never saw"

"crying in the dark"

"I was raised by Tories"

There's a rumour that Cameron will call a general election sooner rather than later.
I can't for the life of me think what possible advantage it could bring him, with the economy going to shit and every recipient of any benefit hating the govt's guts as they do - but I've heard people talking about him riding the wave of enthusiasm as people enjoy reliving the glory days of Thatcher.
Silly people, mind.

I think George Osborne is actually portrayed by an actor and designed/scripted by a committee as the Archetypal Evil Tory, to draw flak from Cameron.

Has anyone linked to this yet?

I might be able to help here, albeit in a bitter Lefty way, because I know someone who went to school with Gideon.

I just met him, all right. It happened on a number of occasions and there was nothing I could do to avoid it. It's something that will happen again and I'm not looking forward to it. However, like death and taxes, it's unavoidable unless I see him first.

It would be unreasonable to spit in his face or punch it to a bloody pulp, however much karlos, or indeed I, might have liked me to have done, because he's a client of DH's.

DH points out that it's economically suicidal to take such fuckwits to task. He's right but we live for a better day when we can say 'fuck off, you tosser.'

Anyway, I digress. The person I know is stupid in the way that would be remedial if we spent that kind of money on state schools any more.

Luckily for him, he has a job in the City but has just enough self-awareness to have turned down a job at a more demanding bank because they would have found him out in an instant.

What's Gideon's excuse?

There's a rumour that Cameron will call a general election sooner rather than later

I don't think he can as part of the coalition agreement was for a fixed term parliament mandated by an act of parliament. The only way an election can be called unless they lose a confidence vote or two thirds of Mps vote for it.

I wonder what a confidence vote would bring right now
Anyway I have only heard this from daft people so I wasn't taking it seriously

You've reminded me of the coalition though, I had briefly forgotten that we have a coalition government
Cleggo was quiet over Thatcher's death, wasn't he?

Yes Clegg was very quiet wasn't he? I wonder why that was?
