Re: Meh. That wasn't meant to be condescending. I never expected the ou to enter that word, is all. Camilla Send a noteboard - 13/05/2010 11:03:42 PM
This is not America. This is Britain.

I'm beginning to think this is a European defense mechanism that you people just reflexively say. Where on earth have I made any comment relating to America? You realize that the United States government also frequently does not represent the population of the country? Hell, it represents it even less than the UK in some aspects; the Executive branch is all-or-nothing for one party.


Your comments are very obviously framed in an American frame. The non-partisan bit, for example.

Her 101 reasons to love our Tory government was even better. Legolas - 13/05/2010 12:42:39 PM 715 Views
That was excellent Camilla - 13/05/2010 12:48:34 PM 669 Views
That has been used a few times now snoopcester - 13/05/2010 01:27:50 PM 616 Views
Oh, well, it was new to me. Legolas - 13/05/2010 01:36:13 PM 661 Views
I do like one of the comments especially The Shrike - 13/05/2010 07:03:15 PM 605 Views
I agree. Legolas - 13/05/2010 07:11:40 PM 686 Views
What an even-handed, stereotype-free, and balanced piece of journalism. *NM* Tim - 13/05/2010 02:07:35 PM 331 Views
Yup. *NM* Camilla - 13/05/2010 02:09:35 PM 303 Views
Oh, come on. It's a humourous column. Legolas - 13/05/2010 02:23:16 PM 697 Views

I'm sorry I care about politics. Camilla - 13/05/2010 08:45:26 PM 729 Views
It's easy to complain. Actually doing something is rather more difficult. *NM* Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 10:17:47 PM 301 Views
What do you suggest I do, pray tell? *NM* Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:19:30 PM 283 Views
Learn how to live with people who disagree with you. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 10:21:08 PM 633 Views
Oh, come on. Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:29:38 PM 749 Views
Do you really spell it "superiour" in Britain? That's wonderful. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 10:37:21 PM 781 Views
Pretty please with sugar on top Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:50:48 PM 707 Views

Re: Yeah, um, that wasn't me. Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:11:04 PM 662 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 672 Views
See, this is what I find offensive Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:21:28 PM 668 Views
Fair enough. It was unfair of me to use "learn." Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 11:30:34 PM 646 Views
Re: Fair enough. It was unfair of me to use "learn." Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:32:29 PM 656 Views
That's kind of my point, though. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 11:33:51 PM 619 Views
Two posts in three days about a new Government in the country? snoopcester - 13/05/2010 11:18:06 PM 679 Views

I could be Tory enough for both of us, if you like. Rebekah - 13/05/2010 11:45:41 PM 665 Views
Sorry. But I can't bring myself to vote for 'that bloody party' Wibble - 13/05/2010 11:48:26 PM 643 Views
Re: Sorry. But I can't bring myself to vote for 'that bloody party' Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:54:10 PM 633 Views
I hereby invite myself to the said discussion. *NM* Tim - 14/05/2010 12:13:34 PM 273 Views
I certainly wouldn't go that far. Nowhere near. *NM* Rebekah - 13/05/2010 11:43:20 PM 325 Views
On the comparison or on you people's spelling? *NM* Ghavrel - 14/05/2010 12:13:42 AM 300 Views

Oh well. The Shrike - 14/05/2010 02:48:51 AM 707 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 764 Views
thank you. Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:46:38 PM 637 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 592 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 594 Views
You think Tories won't go proto-Orwellian on you? Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:46:45 PM 581 Views
If both, theoretically, will abuse power, then The Shrike - 13/05/2010 11:54:53 PM 676 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 579 Views
Lets be honest Wibble - 14/05/2010 12:11:44 AM 703 Views
True fact. *NM* Rebekah - 14/05/2010 12:12:36 AM 317 Views
Very true, however Mark - 14/05/2010 03:54:21 PM 733 Views
Surely a good part of that is just humour, though? Legolas - 14/05/2010 12:25:21 AM 612 Views
Part of it, yes. Rebekah - 14/05/2010 08:43:12 AM 695 Views
