Hope this is ok, I was getting withdrawal symptoms!

I'm going to smoke tabs with GOML. It's all rubbish. I can't watch and had to turn the radio off. The last time the tories were in power I can remember the police using miners' and protesters' heads for target practice

Francagoestohollywood · 11/05/2010 21:03

Oh I know Lindt, no one is comparable to Berlusconi, of course. I wish we had Cameron here instead of B and his clique.
It was just empathy with that feeling of lost, emptiness, being at the opposition, having to stand the RW media... it sucks

PfftThePinkoLeftyDragon · 11/05/2010 21:03

I'm going for a bath.

If I drown at least I won't have to look at Hammy Hampants Hameron again

ImSoNotTelling · 11/05/2010 21:04

Starting accusing each other of being closet tories on this thread is not nice.

I see trouble ahead.

Fucking, fucking hell. Fucking Harold Saxon is in situ. I'd recovered my decorum, had some wine and then watched the news again and it all hit home.

What were the reasons we had to be cheerful again?

GetOrfMoiLand · 11/05/2010 21:04

:adyB - please forget about it, or try. Avoid that thread. You have had a shitey day.

Don't want to row with anyone. I am emphatically not a libdem fan (never was before all this, always thought they were as underahnd as the tories) but am not going to have an argy bargy with anyone.

BeenBeta · 11/05/2010 21:05

I can find only one Tory thread. They are all being restrained and anxious still.

Franca - 20 Euros? Just heard that protestors stormed the Irish Parliament tonight. Not sure the Euro is going to be around much longer.

MmeLindt · 11/05/2010 21:06

Franca
You have my sympathies. He is a very slippery customer.

Let's not fight.

Can someone hold my wool?

Heathcliffscathy · 11/05/2010 21:06

proles it depends very much on the terms of the deal doesn't it?

youngvisitor is right, the party haven't agreed it, and NC can't go it alone in that respect (the libdem constitution is very democratic).

MmeLindt · 11/05/2010 21:07

It is how it has always been. The Left throw better parties that the Right.

onebatmother · 11/05/2010 21:07

What Getorf said. Had to express it tho,briefly. Was in danger of imploding.

But certainly don't want argy- bargy, quite agree.

MrJustAbout · 11/05/2010 21:07

So Shirley Williams was an embarrassed tory?

Hmm ...

LadyBiscuit · 11/05/2010 21:07

Thank you mmelindt and GOML. Sorry for being pathetically juvenile. I want to hug you. My poor sister is in hospital with tubes hanging out of her and I'm so bloody cross at the unfairness of the world it makes me want to scream. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHH

Sorry, this isn't all about me I think getting horribly drunk and maudlin and being really rude to people on the Daily Fail site is probably a better idea

You wish Beta! What's this hatred towards Euro, do you want to talk about it?

Heathcliffscathy · 11/05/2010 21:08

i don't want to row, but am frustrated as anything that you all can't see that this had to happen to labour...they will be so much the better and stronger for it! and really indignant at accusations of libdem = tory...SO not true, to my mind the libdems have been far left of labour for a long time now.

TheStraitsofWTF · 11/05/2010 21:08

No, I don't agree, onebat. Here in Scotland the libdems were instrumental in ensuring no university tuition fees, etc - it sure as hell doesn't feel like a tory vote to me, and at the last election it felt more to the left than a labour vote sometimes.

DavidHameron · 11/05/2010 21:09

I know you're all miserable still but I'm going to persist with the gallows humour. Twitter is a great comfort at times like this :

Hope GB has had a massive shit in the No10 toilet

SamCam is auditioning for Dorothy

Fucking Hell BBC what's with the music? Have we elected a Power Ranger?

MmeLindt · 11/05/2010 21:10

Sneaky (((hugs))) for LadyB.

Don't let it get to you.

BeenBeta · 11/05/2010 21:10

The Lib Dems still have to have their ratifcation meetings to formally agree the deal with the Cons.

There is still a chance it might be rejected.

Think happy thoughts.
