A question:
Some while back a fair number of you endearingly deluded fools were having a middle class wank over ineffectual, tedious cockmuncher Nick Clegg.

How do you feel about him and his 'yeah, we're totally different from the other two, fresh thinking, Britain's future' schtick? Still glad you voted for him or not, now?
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 29 Oct 2010, 13:14, 63 replies, latest was 15 years ago)

at least he isn't as offensive to look at as the other two
I would happily kick Gordon Brown's face off purely because of how it looks.

I voted Tory and endorse everything they've done
Even though I'm a higher rate taxpayer and I lose money from child benefit. A grand a year (and to repale it costs 2k of my salary owing to tax and NI)

Labour are spendthrift cunts that mismanaged the economy, the Libdems are pointless and the Tories seem to be doing the right things (amazingly).

OK, you can flame me now, and I'm off to play football so I'll catch up Monday.

*commences flaming*
the right things? Fucking hell, anyone doing primary school economics realises what a catatrophic fucking mess they are about to make of everything. George Osborne is about as qualified to advise on economics as I am on the uses of classical music in hippo breeding programmes.

He is the only chancellor in my memory to go against the advice of the treasury, which is effectively like walking in to a dark room full of deadly traps with a map and night vision goggles and going "fuck it, eh, let's just run across with our eyes closed"

There is no way on earth the private sector can replace the 500,000 public sector jobs allegedly being cut. Mainly because they'll be too busy losing another million or so of their own as soon as they realise public sector contracts keep a fuck of a lot of companies afloat.

This country is being pissed into a cocked hat. I'm just trying to work out whether there's enough time left to at least have my kids born here before I have to go to Aus or NZ.

How mint is this
I ate my sammidges at 10.30 as I only had a tiny breakfast, then I discovered I had no money to go to the shop to get more food, so I resigned myself to living on coffee and chewing gum for the rest of the day when there is a knock at my door and a sandwhich van has turned up with a plate full of free samples for everyone in the building to try.

Simon Hughes is starting to stir up some trouble amongst the LD backbenchers - if that starts to get some momentum the coalition will be over in 12 months, the Tories will win an outright majority next time and Clegg will stand down as LD leader.

I didn't think they would
(get an outright majority, that is) until Labour put Ed Milliband in charge.

That's basically like opening your front door to the Tories and going "come in, fuck my wife and my children, shit on the carpet, wank in the fridge, and you can still stay for 10 years as nothing you can do no matter how bad can possibly make Labour seem a plausible alternative"
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Fri 29 Oct 2010, 13:43, Reply)

I think the Tories (barring a massive scandal) will be in office for quite some time.

Hmm. Yes, I voted for him. Yes, I knew even at the time it was wishful thinking that his party might make a huge impact.
Following the result of the whole ghastly shambles, I think he had to do what he did just so it was possible for two of the parties to have a suitably-sized majority and oust Labour from office.

I was hoping that he (they) would be able to use their position to at least keep the Tories in check; sadly it does look like they're just pandering to the Tory policy at the moment. I do hope he isn't just settling into a lapdog sort of position and doesn't give up trying for electoral reform.
