to be annoyed by a party talking about mending the society they broke?

[tatt]

without any apparent recognition that it was their revered leader (Thatcher for anyone too young to remember) who was a major cause of the breakdown? I know it's an improvement on there is no such thing as society but it still annoys me.

"why your husband can't support his family on one wage without you having to put your hand out"

Did I miss where that was from?

Oh I agree. Because I'm a girl, and I don't want to work, just stay at home and iron the Daily Telegraph.

Whweew - so don't vote at all. Or vote green, or the fairy party. But NEVER Tory.

hullygully - and who died and made you God?

I made myself. I am Ra.

I'm voting for hullygully

Thank you Tether. I will shortly be launching a website to collect donations for my new party: The Ra Ras. We shall largely be campaigning on a platform with a guillotine.

Ahem! I have never been anyone's secretary!!
Which probably makes my fall from grace all the more unforgiveable.

Off with your head.

hullygully make sure you give us the link as soon as you do it

(I nominate self to be one of those crones sat at the foot of the guillotine, knitting)

vive Robespierre!

I'm afraid knitting has been outlawed by health and safety.

Tsk. I suppose you'll be telling me I have to get rid of my clay pipe as well any minute?

I'm afraid so, in fact to be on the safe side we'd better get rid of you. Off with your head.

Hold on, can I do a speech first?

...tis a far far better thi

All speeches are banned..ahhhgh, a head has rolled onto my foot.

'There are lots of people who've lost their jobs or who are having to choose wether to heat or eat right now.'that's us, redundancy victims

And you know what- we'll vote labour for the first time ever!

becuase what you nedd when things are a bit rough isn't a change of regime, or compelte turnabout of the benefits culture

It's a period of stability, sometime for people to get back on their feet (And the vast majority will, most people do want to woprk whatever the crappress say) under a system that doesn't assume they are scum as opposed to a bit down on their luck

I ahve asked Dh to shoot me if I ever vote Tory, on the grounds that I either have rabies or have been taken over by demons.

And the worst thing about teh current system is that honest people won't touch it with the proverbial

As a child my dream was politics- I know i'd have been a good egg but there's no chance I would ever fit in with that culture and I am not slimy enough for parliament it would seem

So I backed out of my local nomination and took up MN instead, you meet brighter people here anyway

Hurrah! I finally get round to getting on with my work and when I return the thread has become fun again. Political ranting and much jesting hurrah!

And hurrah for Peachy too! Maggie Maggie Maggie...erm...(wrong decade).

PS Have you banned long curly wigs too hg?

No, in fact they are now obligatory, as are white tights and funny little shoes with buckles. We are going to bring a bit of style back to the whole affair.

Peachy - we may be able to offer you a marginal.

Can it be a amrginal with a alrge WC pop please? Fight for me own and all that LOL

(Quite fancy Port Talbot or Bridgwater if they're free? Up the revolution (but a nice one with scones and no gallows please)

A bit scary?

I'm packing. Off to France with Tracy Emin

Hey, France with Tracy Emin would be fun!
