The Political Thread

[Professor Bear]

It doesn't matter what the Daily Mail readership wants to vote for - sex offenders aren't allowed near schools.

Watch, I'm back here again.

So if you're NOT going to dispense with the employment legislation, the chemicals regulations, the wildlife directives etc etc, which of the stifling eurocratic red tape ARE you planning on getting rid of? Just the bendy bananas and the Poles, is it?

Yes, absolutely! CF protests that the Tories wouldn't get rid of employment protections (despite having floated just such a set of policies already and been dissuaded by the LibDems) but safety standards, manufacturing procedures, all manner of burdensome regulation will still have to be observed if companies want to sell their products into the EU, so which red tape will be cut?

Not when you have the internet anyway. Apparently.

[moly]

Well I've voted so let's see what the result is tomorrow

[Michael Knight]

Seeing the loathsome Bliar creature back on the scene in this referendum was a laugh!
Who gives a s### what that mad f#### says anymore?
He not content with turning the Middle East into a s### hole. Trying to whip up support for more wars he really is something else. His foreign policy objectives didn't work out too well did they? The definition of a narcissist. Id love to see him go to Iraq now and see how popular he is! Can never understand How he escapes the criticism that Bush receives. He was still jabbering about WMDS way after the yanks had stopped.   

[James Dilworth]

Some of that EU stuff can be pretty weird.

[Colin YNWA]

My thought process

"How fuckin' stupidly Han Solo having fisty cuffs with a giant weasel..."

"I mean why would Han fight a Weasel, a bejewelled one at that..."

"Well actually I wonder why Han is fighting the weasel... or why its big and bejewelled in the first place..."

"Although its kinda intriguing lookin'...."

"In fact its kinda pretty cool..."

"MOST READ HAN VS. GIANT BEJEWELLED WEASEL"

[Colin YNWA]

Luckily before I couyld look it up to buy I slipped into the following thought

"Actually maybe its a ferret..."

"...or a stoat"

[JamesC]

I was thinking otter.

[Hawkmumbler]

I'm POSITIVE it's an Otter. 

[Colin YNWA]

Oh bugger now I'm all of a quandry...

[I, Cosh]

That's VOLEly unlikely.

[Professor Bear]

"I mean why would Han fight a Weasel, a bejewelled one at that..."

Because he's HAN FUCKING SOLO.

[sheridan]

That's VOLEly unlikely.

Now that you've gone there...

If it's a weasel it'll be weaselly recognisable, but a stoat is stoatally different...
