How else has IDS hung on to his cabinet post for soooooo long? He knows where the bodied are buried.

In my old old company we had a big do to celebrate x number of years of the company, and IDS was the guest of honour.

He got up to give a little speech which consisted entirely of a shit joke about tories throwing 50 pound notes out of helicopters to the poor proles below. Hmm That was it, that was his speech to help celebrate x years of this company.

A total and utter twunt.

IDS is soooooo dim. He has presided over one omnishambles after another. Universal credit? Utter disaster. Hundreds of millions down the drain. He might be nice to his but he is horribly dim. It's having to witness such a low wattage bulb in charge of a huge and important department.

And yes, Grant Shapps is a spiv of the highest order.

PoppyField · 02/10/2014 20:29

'his mother' I meant

Idontseeanysontarans · 02/10/2014 20:32

I love the word omnishambles Smile
It totally confuses the autocorrect and is incredibly apt for some days!

Greengrow I'm a carer for three disabled children and a disabled dh. Do tell me of the good you claim he does.

Then he's even more stupid than I thought - the arrogance of this mediocrity I take as read.

What is the level of idiocy that leads a senior minister, especially one accused of persecuting the poor, to say such a thing? Oh, for a camera phone.

(Missing the point completelyBlush) I dreamt about Michael Gove the other night!! Michael Bloody Gove - not sure if we were god forbid DTD but it was pretty steamy aaaaargh Shock

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 02/10/2014 22:25

I frequently dream about DC, always so filthy, Michael Gove though, bleugh!!

limitedperiodonly · 02/10/2014 22:39

I've had a couple of smutty dreams about Alistair Campbell. But that's healthy, isn't it?

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 02/10/2014 22:42

I hope so Limited

CountYourEyelashes · 02/10/2014 22:44

Irritable Duncan Syndrome Grin limited that's got me chuckling.

I have thoughts on Gideon's hairdo. He looked strangely younger and more 'with it'... but I'm pretty sure the hair was painted. John Travolta style.

He's lost weight too hasn't he, less pudding-faced.

Oh good god, rude dreams about Gove and DC, not sure which is worse...

CountYourEyelashes · 02/10/2014 22:45

Does anyone remember the thread from someone who seriously fancied Boris? He's a dirty bugger apparently...

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 02/10/2014 22:47

Count I once had a filthy dream about Nick Clegg, much worse than Gove and DC.

CountYourEyelashes · 02/10/2014 22:56

I dunno, at least Clegg is vaguely normal looking.

Gove.. shudder. And DC - well I just can't get the Condom head cartoon out of my mind.

Actually, I was thinking about this the other day... can you name a single, genuinely good looking MP?

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 02/10/2014 23:00

Nope, I cant think of one at all.

and you might have a point about Clegg, he'd be alright if he had the balls to tell DC to STFU once in a while.

CountYourEyelashes · 02/10/2014 23:02

Hmm that Goldsmith fella used to be rather handsome, but I think he's looking a bit 'tory boy' these days.

Speaking of handsome politicians (or lack thereof), does anyone want to know my theory on the Millipede brothers?

joanofarchitrave · 02/10/2014 23:04

Theory?

I think Ed Miliband is quite good-looking but extremely unphotogenic.

I have not yet had a dirty dream about Ed Balls but I'm afraid I could.

CountYourEyelashes · 02/10/2014 23:05

Yes I hear you say?

Well, my theory is that they wanted Dave Millipede all along, but they knew that Labour were in for a trouncing. Rather than let Dave be the one to oversee their failure, the brought Wallace little Brother Ed in instead.

He's been set up for a fall. They're letting him flounder around while Labour go through the doldrums, then once things look better for them, they'll swoop handsome Dave back in to save the day.

That's my theory.

CountYourEyelashes · 02/10/2014 23:07

Wallace.. good looking? AAAAAAARGh good god no!

Ed Milliband

As for Ed Bollocks... he's getting rather chunky these days

CountYourEyelashes · 02/10/2014 23:08

and now I'll apologize for lowering the tone of this thread and making it all a game of 'Who'd you shag' rather than informed political discussion.

As you were.

joanofarchitrave · 02/10/2014 23:09

Hmm. Ockham's razor says no.

CountYourEyelashes · 02/10/2014 23:10

Hmm. Ockham's razor says no. yeah you're probably right.

I just could never understand why they would let DM slip away like that.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 02/10/2014 23:18

I cant decide which Milliband brother I'd take home.

joanofarchitrave · 02/10/2014 23:19

Because he voted to go to war in 2003. At the time it was, or was made into, the original sin for leadership candidates.

limitedperiodonly · 02/10/2014 23:19

can you name a single, genuinely good looking MP?

I fancied Jim Murphy but then I noticed that he'd bleached his hair so I went off him.

My friend is a friend of a Lib Dem MP. Not fanciable. Last Christmas we were in his office having drinks. It was really very studenty, which is sad, because we're all such middle-aged under-achievers.

Anyway, we were going through the MPs' year-book. We were willing to take on all comers. He told us how many of them, from all parties, wouldn't be interested in us as women.
