Lib Dems push Labour into third place in polls: is this the breakthrough?

[Shevek]

This is your argument is it?

Given up on the shall i become an anarchist quandry?

I still believe in anarchism but I am a member of the lib dems and so is my boyfriend. I feel it would be a bit of a wrench to leave the lib dem camp and strike out on my own as an anarchist. I am interested in politics so I am going to stay involved with the lib dems until I reach the limits of what I can do.

 

[Shevek]

Indeed. He has all the relevant qualities in spades: lying, dissembling, dirty campaigning, hypocrisy, shamelessness.

The only real mystery is why he's never been more successful than he has.

all myths

So what exactly did he apologise to Peter Tatchell for?

 

[Shevek]

Peter Tatchell and Simon Hughes have dealt with those issues long ago and are good friends now. Both were victims of the times and attitudes to sexuality. Simons record on gay rights is second to none as is the lib dems generally.

 

[butchersapron]

They may well have, but the issue certainly demonstrates that Hughes "lying, dissembling, dirty campaigning, hypocrisy, shamelessness" as regards politics are not myths as you claim. Hughes was a victim was he? Of his own homophobic campaign?

 

[Shevek]

youve got to look at the bigger picture

I always get Nick Clegg mixed up with David Cameron, and that bloke who was a spook ages ago, pantsdown. What are the Libdems saying exactly?

I think Shevek is saying that the LibDems don't have the same amount of dirty laundry as the other two main parties.

Give the chap a break. He was upset about going bald.

I hope when I start to lose my hair I won't start doing what he did.

You confuse Liberals with Libdems, shevek.

I didn't realise he was a Libdem

 

[Shevek]

I use the two interchangably. If Gordon Brown can so can I

"See those cunts? We're not those cunts."

They were a bit more interesting in the days of the great shakeup - when Spitting Image had something to take the piss out of with the two Davids.

There's nothing even to take the piss out of now.

Of course. It's perfectly possible for a man to lie to his wife in the morning and tell the truth to Parliament in the afternoon.

Perfectly, perfectly possible. And no-one -- no-one -- should cast aspersions otherwise.

He certainly led the way on having articles about his expenses claims in the Telegraph.

A new mattress and a bunk bed, eh? What possible use could he have found for them?

Oatendem sounds like a middle class seat in the home counties.

 

[Shevek]

Labour and Tory fans will always contrive against the lib dems because you know the party poses the biggest threat against maintaining the status quo.
