The Political Thread

[Frank]

More like Joe Matt getting a handjob from a disgusting hooker in a porno theater.

In that scenario, I'd be the hooker and Joe Matt would be Dave Cameron.

Presumably that makes Clegg the hankie.  See you next Wednesday.

There is a moose, loose aboot this hoose.

It is the moose of discord.

Just read this and laughed for a good 5 minutes.  It's posts like this that remind me why we keep the fecker round

Oh no! That would be ending a sentence with a preposition, except that it isn't really a sentence - it lacks a subject, and has only a present participle in place of a compound verb for the present continuous tense.

Still, it made me wonder, 'screwing the ordinary man over... what ?' A park bench? The bonnet of a Ford Mondeo?

Ha, ha! I laugh at your useless skills and knowledge. Oh, wait. I'm a newspaper sub-editor.

Shit.

[House of Usher]

Of course, really, it calls for the verb to be in its present perfect continuous form, taking into account the '300 years and counting' duration.

You had a preposition just the other week. You preposed that all of the mods just let the front office take the site down for half a week because you were too apathetic to say no.

[U.S.S.R]

Haha that is brilliant

That would be more impressive if you weren't typing it in your pyjamas.

So that is where he keeps his keyboard. That explains a few things...

Funny poster that, David "call me Dave" Cameron being a robot would certainly explain some of his more, uh, esoteric policies.  Don't know about that "Next Generation Thatcher Clone" bit though, I'm sure the Tory backbenchers would disagree with that assessment, if he was indeed a clone of Lady Thatcher, he would have won an outright majority in 2010, and wouldn't be in the doghouse with many of his M.P.'s, never trusted that man myself, being an unapologetic right-wing nutcase myself (as everyone here will confirm), I wish so much he was indeed a Thatcher clone, that woman (love or loathe her) knew what she wanted, and knew how to get us there... if I was a member of the so-called 'Conservative' party, I would have handed my resignation in before now and enthusiastically joined U.K.I.P., the REAL conservative party and the knight in shining armour of British politics, in my humble opinion (conservative in opinion, libertarian in practice - exactly where I stand)...

From here, David Cameron seems almost beyond parody, but that poster is pretty good.

Funny poster that, ... if (Cameron) was indeed a clone of Lady Thatcher, he would have won an outright majority in 2010, and wouldn't be in the doghouse with many of his M.P.'s. Never trusted that man myself, being an unapologetic right-wing nutcase myself ... (conservative in opinion, libertarian in practice - exactly where I stand)

The point of democratic politics is to force you to see things from perspectives other than your own, so it's always interesting to hear from you, Beaky; and interesting that Cameron engenders such conformity of opinion in folk who normally can't agree about the price of milk.

The man doesn't appear to be driven by ideology- not a bad thing-  but then, as you point out, he isn't proving particularly adept at governing by pragmatic response to exigency either. In my most paranoid fever dreams of where public dissatisfaction with the rudderless drift of Her Majesty's current goverment (and opposition) might lead politics (don't click if you're squeamish), Dave Cameron's limp moderacy and the fogeyish bluster of Boris and Nigel Farage seem almost acceptable.
