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 615 Views
That was excellent Camilla - 13/05/2010 12:48:34 PM 558 Views
That has been used a few times now snoopcester - 13/05/2010 01:27:50 PM 514 Views
Oh, well, it was new to me. Legolas - 13/05/2010 01:36:13 PM 547 Views
I do like one of the comments especially The Shrike - 13/05/2010 07:03:15 PM 508 Views
I agree. Legolas - 13/05/2010 07:11:40 PM 580 Views
What an even-handed, stereotype-free, and balanced piece of journalism. *NM* Tim - 13/05/2010 02:07:35 PM 290 Views
Yup. *NM* Camilla - 13/05/2010 02:09:35 PM 272 Views
Oh, come on. It's a humourous column. Legolas - 13/05/2010 02:23:16 PM 596 Views

Your partisanship is getting annoying, actually. The Shrike - 13/05/2010 06:55:28 PM 686 Views
I'm Rebekah and I endorse this comment. Rebekah - 13/05/2010 08:10:03 PM 581 Views

I'm sorry I care about politics. Camilla - 13/05/2010 08:45:26 PM 627 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 241 Views
Learn how to live with people who disagree with you. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 10:21:08 PM 532 Views
Oh, come on. Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:29:38 PM 647 Views
Do you really spell it "superiour" in Britain? That's wonderful. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 10:37:21 PM 672 Views
Pretty please with sugar on top Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:50:48 PM 600 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 575 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 527 Views

Re: Yeah, um, that wasn't me. Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:11:04 PM 567 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 567 Views
See, this is what I find offensive Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:21:28 PM 560 Views
Fair enough. It was unfair of me to use "learn." Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 11:30:34 PM 556 Views
Re: Fair enough. It was unfair of me to use "learn." Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:32:29 PM 546 Views
That's kind of my point, though. Ghavrel - 13/05/2010 11:33:51 PM 514 Views
Two posts in three days about a new Government in the country? snoopcester - 13/05/2010 11:18:06 PM 571 Views
This is so true Wibble - 13/05/2010 11:29:30 PM 547 Views
Re: This is so true Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:36:44 PM 555 Views
I could be Tory enough for both of us, if you like. Rebekah - 13/05/2010 11:45:41 PM 560 Views
Sorry. But I can't bring myself to vote for 'that bloody party' Wibble - 13/05/2010 11:48:26 PM 532 Views
Re: Sorry. But I can't bring myself to vote for 'that bloody party' Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:54:10 PM 557 Views
I hereby invite myself to the said discussion. *NM* Tim - 14/05/2010 12:13:34 PM 232 Views
I certainly wouldn't go that far. Nowhere near. *NM* Rebekah - 13/05/2010 11:43:20 PM 283 Views
On the comparison or on you people's spelling? *NM* Ghavrel - 14/05/2010 12:13:42 AM 256 Views

They were not delivered condescendingly. I am sorry you took it as such. The Shrike - 13/05/2010 11:50:23 PM 515 Views

Oh well. The Shrike - 14/05/2010 02:48:51 AM 602 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 673 Views
thank you. Camilla - 13/05/2010 10:46:38 PM 535 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 510 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 486 Views
You think Tories won't go proto-Orwellian on you? Camilla - 13/05/2010 11:46:45 PM 508 Views
If both, theoretically, will abuse power, then The Shrike - 13/05/2010 11:54:53 PM 577 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 484 Views
Lets be honest Wibble - 14/05/2010 12:11:44 AM 596 Views
True fact. *NM* Rebekah - 14/05/2010 12:12:36 AM 279 Views
Very true, however Mark - 14/05/2010 03:54:21 PM 626 Views
Surely a good part of that is just humour, though? Legolas - 14/05/2010 12:25:21 AM 501 Views
Part of it, yes. Rebekah - 14/05/2010 08:43:12 AM 587 Views
