The election saw the biggest swing to the Tories since the 1930s. There's not many of you, are there?

It seems those stupid people decided to vote Tory instead of Labour this time.

Lurker 05.12.2010 05:43 PM

Spiral of death sounds better.

jon boy 05.12.2010 07:35 PM

the only spiral of death i wanna see is the one that involves cameron hurtling down to be met by a pack of angry electric dogs.

I'm confident these two will come up with some way of saving us.

Can you really trust a man that looks like Iggle Piggle?

Ha ha, they look so stoic holding that tea.

Sometimes I think I will never understand British culture.

"That's right, you just walk in and find Mr Cameron, do what we arranged, photographers arrive, get what they need, you get what we agreed, you're on your way, ok?"

"I want you to think of that great quotation that it's not the politician that brings the right to vote, it is the soldier; it is not the poet that brings free speech, it is the soldier; it is not the journalist that brings free expression, it is the soldier. So I want you to help me create a new atmosphere in our country, an atmosphere where we back and revere and support our military."

one of the many problems with cameron is that you want to kill him so much you get angry and it clouds your thinking. you start thinking shit like "he's a disgrace to humanity", like daily mail type thinking, with adjectives like "disgrace, abhorrent, putrid" barely disguising the inner dialogue of "CUNT FUCK OFF DIE YOU PIECE OF SHIT ARG!" you have to avoid falling into the trap of hating him because he's just a figurehead. an actor/manager hired to present a particular face to things. you have to make sure you leave the right to scream incoherently in their impotent rage. there i'm using too many adjectives again but you see the point.

The Prime Minister was flying to a British base in Helmand province on Thursday when intelligence learnt of a plan to fire on his helicopter.


During the short flight - scheduled for 15 minutes - military commanders decided to abort Mr Cameron’s visit to the base, due at around 6pm local time.

like what is the point of dreaming of the beauty of the explosion one of these rockets could have made searing his body into ashes and blackened bones? yes i know you could sit and dream about it all day long... i know how satisfying it would be to see it on tv instead of the crap thats on there now... but its just a waste of time really. it would be nice but would it derail the neo liberal project? probably not very much. there will always be some careerist piece of shit millionaire they can hire to try and convince people that slashing public spending is necessary because we have "had it too good for too long". there will always be some actor they can hire to try and sell the idea that its fair the poor pay for the genocidal rampage of the rich.

in a sense his very personality functions like an internet troll.

More nonsensical drivel from Ni'k.

I love Private Eye's new Prime Minister's letter. If youve not seen it, i heartily reccomend.
