I'm sorry I care about politics. Camilla Send a noteboard - 13/05/2010 08:45:26 PM
I clicked on this because it promised to be "invaluable advice to dispel the despair", which after driving Tor nutty with groaning over the news and deep sighs whenever Cameron shows up on my screen, I realised was what I needed.

It does offer some good points, although I think not all of them practical.


There are many fine, upstanding, extremely enlightened conservatives British people around - On this board, in your life I imagine, and in general. There are many who are happy to see that the Liberal Democrats are in power with the Tories, no less.

Seriously, stop acting like your world is ending and try to see across the aisle, as it were, and find common ground. Otherwise you could just move across the sea back to Norway where Labour is still in power.

Her 101 reasons to love our Tory government was even better. Legolas - 13/05/2010 12:42:39 PM 613 Views
That was excellent Camilla - 13/05/2010 12:48:34 PM 556 Views
That has been used a few times now snoopcester - 13/05/2010 01:27:50 PM 511 Views

I agree. Legolas - 13/05/2010 07:11:40 PM 578 Views
What an even-handed, stereotype-free, and balanced piece of journalism. *NM* Tim - 13/05/2010 02:07:35 PM 289 Views
Yup. *NM* Camilla - 13/05/2010 02:09:35 PM 271 Views

It's easy to complain. Actually doing something is rather more difficult. *NM* Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 10:17:47 PM 257 Views
What do you suggest I do, pray tell? *NM* Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:19:30 PM 240 Views
Learn how to live with people who disagree with you. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 10:21:08 PM 529 Views
Oh, come on. Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:29:38 PM 645 Views
Do you really spell it "superiour" in Britain? That's wonderful. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 10:37:21 PM 669 Views
Pretty please with sugar on top Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:50:48 PM 598 Views
Meh. That wasn't meant to be condescending. I never expected the ou to enter that word, is all. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 11:02:11 PM 572 Views
Re: Meh. That wasn't meant to be condescending. I never expected the ou to enter that word, is all. Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:03:42 PM 524 Views

Re: Yeah, um, that wasn't me. Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:11:04 PM 564 Views
I don't mind transference of anger, but let's keep my quotes accurate at least. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 11:15:37 PM 564 Views
See, this is what I find offensive Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:21:28 PM 557 Views
Fair enough. It was unfair of me to use "learn." Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 11:30:34 PM 553 Views
Re: Fair enough. It was unfair of me to use "learn." Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:32:29 PM 543 Views
That's kind of my point, though. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 11:33:51 PM 511 Views
Two posts in three days about a new Government in the country? snoopcester - 13/05/2010 11:18:06 PM 568 Views

I could be Tory enough for both of us, if you like. Rebekah - 13/05/2010 11:45:41 PM 558 Views
Sorry. But I can't bring myself to vote for 'that bloody party' Wibble - 13/05/2010 11:48:26 PM 529 Views
Re: Sorry. But I can't bring myself to vote for 'that bloody party' Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:54:10 PM 554 Views
I hereby invite myself to the said discussion. *NM* Tim - 14/05/2010 12:13:34 PM 231 Views
I certainly wouldn't go that far. Nowhere near. *NM* Rebekah - 13/05/2010 11:43:20 PM 282 Views
On the comparison or on you people's spelling? *NM* Ghavrel - 14/05/2010 12:13:42 AM 255 Views

I was gonna make a post with precisely the same title as Camilla's. So: Oh, come on. Legolas - 13/05/2010 10:43:12 PM 670 Views
thank you. Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:46:38 PM 532 Views

I dunno. It looks to me that's what Balwer was saying with his flogged horse comment. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 11:18:30 PM 509 Views
I'm sorry you care more about your own political agenda than about trying to see a party in power The Shrike - 13/05/2010 11:44:32 PM 483 Views
You think Tories won't go proto-Orwellian on you? Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:46:45 PM 505 Views
If both, theoretically, will abuse power, then The Shrike - 13/05/2010 11:54:53 PM 574 Views

A date "in a year's time" will be easy to remember. We have Scottish elections on 5 May 2011. Tim - 14/05/2010 12:12:26 PM 481 Views
Lets be honest Wibble - 14/05/2010 12:11:44 AM 593 Views
True fact. *NM* Rebekah - 14/05/2010 12:12:36 AM 278 Views
Very true, however Mark - 14/05/2010 03:54:21 PM 623 Views
Surely a good part of that is just humour, though? Legolas - 14/05/2010 12:25:21 AM 498 Views
Part of it, yes. Rebekah - 14/05/2010 08:43:12 AM 584 Views
