Survival but at what price? 1:52pm on 06 Jun 2009 Isn't it ironic that in Africa - Niger, Togo, Guinea-Bissau for example, the British Govt supports efforts to prevent countries from manipulating their constitutions so their leaders can cling to power. These countries are places where the "leader" appoints "cronies" to firm his position - in opposition to democratic principles that they say they abide by.

Notice the similarities?
Stealth taxes out, hikes for the rich in 2:40pm on 22 Apr 2009 Bradgate #15

This is an idiotic statement. I presume you mean bankers (and their like) or are you saying that people who work extremely hard to earn good money should use it to subsidise those who don't?

So, you also think that Labour will be decimated at the GE and that Lib Dems will be the formal opposition....interesting....I like where you are coming from!

It is on the Times Front Page.

Apologists are fools.
Awkward questions ahead 09:38am on 27 Mar 2009 Laugh and Saga,

You keep asking for Daniel Hannan comments to end. The problem is, it is big news - politically (over 1m YouTube viewers). Now, your politics might not want it to be big news, but it is.
Contrast the lack of coverage in this case, to complaints about the excessive BBC coverage, and main story lead, over the death of Jade Goody. In response, the BBC stated that "coverage was justified on the grounds of the level of public interest".

This is clearly a duplicitous situation. Even after admitting defeat through gritted teeth, the BBC website has included the clip. This goes under the heading of "EU speech is an internet phenomenon" on a side bar of the Politics page. Still the BBC can't bring itself to make it easy. They know how inspiring the use of the term "EU Speech" is.

Perhaps - "PM exposed during withering attack during World Freebee Junkett" would have been better?
Brown's message to the United States 2:21pm on 05 Mar 2009 FUBAR #186

That is an accurate reflection. Too many individuals trying to force their own views onto the blog without really trying to understand the counter-point.

And you are right about the train-crash too. I often wonder if Gordon Brown is actually sane - I mean, how would we know? He is a bully with influence over the careers of those who sit behind him. How do we know he is not the "Harold Shipman" of the political world - trusted by some until the moment they all realise how horrific it is - then remorse?? Or are they all complicit fools? Perhaps he might be the genious he believes himself to be - in which case; phew!

In the meantime, he needs F MED 8 action, just to check!
The 'special partnership' 5:15pm on 03 Mar 2009 #206 Boiler

How much damage needs to be done, I wonder, for Labour party supporters to realise just what is happening?

The level of "service" provided by new Labour is at such a low level (this is separate from the level of funding) that almost all institutions are in grave danger. There is no leadership.

I would be extremely surprised if the current outlook or behaviour of this current Government improves before an election - the quality of individual is not there. They seem incapable of long-term planning. Virtually everyhting they do comes with unintended consequences.

They really do have to go. They have had their opportunity, and have stuffed it up good and proper. Noses out of the troughs and to coin a phrase......

Call an election!
The 'special partnership' 4:21pm on 03 Mar 2009 Boilerplated,

Much as I admire your efforts, you are starting to look like the boy with the finger in the dam - as the whole dam begins to crack. Trying to rebuff every single anti-Brown comment is a flawed and futile effort. Just reading the "mood-music" in toto, rather than trying to attack individual points might allow you to see the bigger picture, and recognise defeat. Mind you, that does seem to be a Labour Party trait at the moment.

Amusing to watch though.

Enough analogies!
Language of the downturn 3:34pm on 18 Feb 2009 Well done Yellow Belly - I think that hit the spot!
