Christmas Tree

You seem very melancholy tonight.........Pissed?

see that thing in the top left? it says "the sun" are you honestly posting this as a credible source of tory support? Shakes head.......Youth of today I was posting it because over the years, The sun (Britains biggest selling newspaper) has traditionally produced some very good election day front pages and likes to think of itself as king maker. They have included such treasures as....

You do know that Labour and Lib Dem MP's went to Eton also?

FFS Cheer up Its a bit of fun man Hopefully it wont go as far as Cameron getting into to office because that's where the fun will end. The funs already ended whoever wins

You have mentioned some of the problem of the voting system, and yet Call me Dave wants to keep it, as it provides a 'strong government', and will not talk of any reforms. All the polls have pointed towards a hung parliament, and yet Cameron wants to stick with the current system. I agree that it is a very good election to lose, and if I was Clegg, I'd play the long game, and let the Tories lead a minority government and take the economic bullet. Then hammer it home after the Conservatives become as popular as Gary Glitter in a primary school. Labour will be too busy trying to fuck themselves or rebuilding for the next year or two at least. While it has its problems it still seems better than PR. Apparently (and Parky might know better) Germany has PR and each election is decided by the Liberal party and not the voters. (as such)

Only stopping up to see how funny the Suns front page could be.

Our Lass was at the bingo tonight and Vera Duckworth was Guest caller backed up By David Milliband. Anyway, little old grannny wins the £100 full house and gets to go on the stage to receive here wad from the two celebs. David Milliband grabs the Mike and says "shouldnt she get £500 instead"....... To which one wifey shouts back.."No doubt you'll just claim it on yer expenses".....

You Know who --- 17th August 2009

Tonights political thoughts. Apparently only 100 seats matter tomorrow and out of the 10's of millions who will vote, as little as 20,000 people will decide the outcome. Dont like the idea that Nick Clegg could end up choosing the next prime minister (regardless of whether its Brown or Cameron). It shouldnt be decided by one vote. Most important of all, the talk in the last few days has all been about the pain that is going to follow. Commentators reckon that all three parties have so far only owned up to about 20% of the cuts that are needed to start to tackle the defecit problem. Once the election is over the true savage cuts will need to be revealed. Not only will this make Thursdays winners pariahs and unelectable for a generation, it could also lead to mass public unrest, the like of which we have not seen before, even during the poll tax riots.

Correctamundo

can't see anything over than Labour with a reduced majority unfortunately. The only silver lining (and a lesson to you all to always have a silver lining) is that I know the joy it will have brought to NJS and he seems like a nice lad.

in a nutshell the most relevant point in this thread. I have a feeling Labour may hold on this time but be so weakened we need a re-run at which point the conservatives will get in.

So its 1.21 in the morning and there are still plenty of Toontastic regulars reading and writing on the forum........ WHY? Nightshift, Insomnia, drunk? I fell asleep on the sofa watching Troy and popped on for a quickie before bed.

At Last, The Truth From Labour!

Lib Dems --- The Nasty Party

We're all fighting for Craigs vote, Floating Craig is the King Maker

Talking of myths it looks like you've swallowed that one. I'm not sure if theres been a boardroom meeting ever where,when a company has a huge new order on the table,or has a chance to move into a new market,to expand and develop, the chairman has turned round and said "but NI contributions are too high for the x amount of extra staff we'll have to employ,lets not bother eh?" Its a bare faced lie peddled by the business community in an attempt to gain favour with a potential new tory government. Signed by 60 business leaders from some of the countrys top boardrooms such as M&S, Glaxosmithkline, Sainsburys, Virgin, Next etc etc etc

It’s the people who provide the funding that pull the strings, and we haven’t heard a single word on the funding issue in the run up to this election. Who does fund the three main parties? How much money do they invest, and what kind of return are they looking for? Does anybody have any idea? Labour -- Unions -- Everything Lib Dems -- Convicted Fraudsters -- God Knows Conservatives -- Oxfam -- All conservative MP's donate a month of their time for free each year working in Africa.

Should be fun to watch..... So Mr Milliband, you opposed the Conservatives inheritance tax plans yet you and your brother Ed re-wrote your dead fathers will to AVOID paying inheritance tax yourselves on his 1.3 million estate......... Bring it on.

It's interesting you single me out there CT, perhaps it's because I have the most posts on this thread other than yourself, or perhaps it's because you're rattled? In any case, I'm sure if you read the large majority of my posts on this thread, you'll find I actually am critical of the current tory incumbents and their policies rather than previous tory governments. Your posts in this thread show you know very little, if anything about Tory policy only soundbites you have read in The Mirror. So, for instance, regarding Cameron (the present leader of the conservatives), I think he comes across as a shallow PR man Yet it is Clegg who has spent the last 10 years AS a PR man with no political conviction whatsoever. The thought of his mate Osbourne being in charge of the economy actually scares the shit out of me - do you really think he is qualified for the job or do you think that perhaps he is where he is because of his background? Is this opinion based on any fact whatsoever? Why do you think it is that virtually every business leader and even proper financial papers such as the economist and FT dont share your concerns? Could it be they know something you dont? Regarding the recent decisions that Cameron would have made during the banking crisis, it's my contention that he would have literally destroyed Great Britain plc. I'm not alone in thinking that. You didnt think that. You heard it and repeated it. Regarding present tory policies, I've discussed these several times on this thread. For me they range from the dangerous (immediate cutbacks when we are hardly out the recession), Again, repeating Gordons soundbites to the ridiculous ('Big Society' and tax breaks for married couples), to the downright evil (tax breaks for the super rich). Which ones that then? I've also pointed out that Cameron has said he will specifically target the North East regarding cutbacks - something you seemingly don't give a shit about. Linky please? Are these points present enough for you? No, just soundbites I'd also throw in the fact I know my local MP quite well and he has proved to be a good leader at constituency level. And that the tory challenger in my constituency is an evil hound. Oh, and one last thing, you have admitted you are a 'dyed in the wool' conservative, so your above comment seems a bit hypocritical, does it not?

By holding babies and greeting people with Pee stained hands. UGHHHHHHHH
