lefties 7:compare the tory.com

[HerHonesty]

sorry couldnt think of anything else. gideon in charge of the economy..

Good article on GB last day in todays Guardian. (I didn't pay for it- was my parents subscription!)NC seems to have wanted GB to hang on before resigning so he could get more out of the Tories

it was right out of The Art of War. Hope NC got what he wanted.

Have we all seen the Lovely Lucy Mangan today?

Yes it's marvellous. Thought I might post it on the Anxious Tories thread for jollies.

I'm wondering if it's time to retreat back to the Wankers' threads?

This has just been posted on Sophable's thread:

"... it is certainly true that the Lefties thread has become less accepting of anyone offering a different viewpoint that the grieving labour supporters the last few days."

I wasn't aware of this, but haven't been around much for the last couple of days, so have skim-read most of this thread.

I do love Lucy Mangan...

love the Lucy mangan article

Oh yes please BIWI I do think it's time. I wanted to post a parenting question to you all the other day and almost did it on this thread thinking it was the closest thing we had to it.

Is there one going already or do we need a new one?

Pleas go back to wonkers...hj is lonely!
And I cannot keep up with these ones

I couldn't find the old one so here's a brand new, nice, cosy and safe one!

ooh, am not a wonker...will miss the lefties!

Well, no need to stop the lefties thread, and you can join the wonkers as well! No qualifications required, other than a desire to chat about anything and everything.

I just feel a bit upset and cross about being accused of something I am not, IYSWIM, so I'm probably leaving the lefties' thread for the time being.

(Please post on the wonkers thread as well as I don't want to be a Billy No-mates!)

ah justa you are kind- I may drop in and say hello some time

BIWI-don't leave the lefties!

honestly this thread has been the one bright spark in all this election trauma, am upset about anyone falling out

[Waves white flag and removes foot from mouth]

Sorry if I upset anyone , really not intended I have absolutely loved these threads but have felt like it doesn't quite fit me so well the last few days. I don't think I said you were intolerant, just felt that the prevailing viewpoint has moved from anti-Tory to anti-Tory and LibDem (although I can see why)

'A consensus has been created that the deficit must must MUST be cut, as if to oppose cuts in welfare and public spending is as futile as trying to stop the laws of physics. So we'll now have a period of new modern politics, in which a Prime Minister from Eton and a Chancellor from St Paul's in coalition with a chap from Westminster Public School force the bulk of the population to pay for a mess they didn't create, rather than upset the richest one per cent who've enjoyed an unprecedented rise in their wealth. '

fantastic, prolesworth
