But what was the alternative? A return to Thatcherism under the Conservative Tory Party. In other words, a lose/lose situation.

Then bingo! Out of nowhere come the Liberal Democrats. Nick Clegg grabbed world headlines for his party as a result of a very good showing in the first of three debates, and polls now show that the Labour Party may be forced into a coalition with the Liberal Democrats. They have lost a little bit of momentum since the first debate, but there is still a good chance they could form a coalition with Labour.

The mainstream media, led by arch villain Rupert Murdoch, went berserk! Throwing all sorts of bullshit at the Liberal Democrats. Most of it was contrived. So much so that most of the general public didn’t buy it. May be Britain does have a real alternative to the two parties controlled by the establishment. I don’t know. But I would certainly love the chance to find out.

Nick Clegg is also very big on Europe. On that point alone Nick has won me. Nick has also said Brown must go, as part of the coalition deal. Two out of two ain’t bad.

Thanks very much.

One moment while I open the envelope … *shuffle, shuffle, ..”

And the winner is…

Oh my god, yes, it is, and so deserved, it’s …

For standing up for the things that matter, for standing up for his family, for going that extra mile, and for standing up for all of us.

A special gold star for David Gould for standing up for what is right and taking the extra steps necessary to protect our children and our values.

Such is life.

As long as someone uses flowery over-puffed rhetoric to be insulting, you don’t object.

Oh, the cunning use of rhetoric in the delivery of an insult. That I don’t mind providing that the cunning in the rhetoric can be parsed to mean different things – but that is the point of cunning bit of the ‘cunningly rhetoric’ equation. In contrast – that last bit on your #232 comment was an example of rhetoric without cunning. After all, even Arnold Schwarzenegger knows how to send a message while maintaining plausible deniability.

And once again, ask yourself where all the thinkers have gone.
Probably got pretty bored with the ‘enforced’ group think too.
Chalk up another one.
