  1. Now, this really gets my goat. I consider myself a true Tory, yet certainly do not believe that people should be pigeon holed or oppressed like that. I want there to the opportunity for people to progress and develop and hate the idea that anyone would be intentionally stifled if they had the potential. Whereas I consider socialist ideals to be intentionally stifling............ It's curious how different perspective can work.
  2. Good work. Quite scared though that if I tried this.... they would just say 'ok.'
  3. Considering the actions of the rioters it was incredibly restrained. Yes, I am aware that an antagonised mob will fight back..... but after the 'peaceful protests' of the prior two weeks what were the police meant to do? Turn up with teddy bears and garden flowers? This mob attacked two members of the royal family, vadalised national monuments, caused millions of pounds of private property and even set light to a Christmas tree. A f***ing christmas tree!?!
  4. Yes, I understand. Now what does that work out per head? (This lack of clarity in how money is proportioned to each council is another governmental flaw. Damn the over inflated beaurotic public sector. )
  5. This. In most countries in the world the students who attacked Charles and Camilla would have been shot.
  6. With a little bit of simple maths that shows that people in Dorset get less then half the amount of money that people in Plymouth and St Helens. Plymouth: £939 per person St Helens: £1080 per person Dorset: £407 per person (Removing 100k population for Bournmouth still leaves this figure at £475... way short) Yes, this budget adjustment is a huge injustice.
  7. Finally something we can all agree on!
  8. Cut it out jackarse.
  9. They had those in at West Orchards shopping centre in Coventry last weekend. It really looked rediculous and the idea made Mrs Colinjb feel rather ill.
  10. It was just a little sarcasm. No harm done. I am more then familiar with Alf Garnett. Thank you.
  11. I would hope not. He admitted he was talking crap so that can't be the flash point.
  12. Wow, three entirely unconnected box sets. Your other half will have to go some to think of them! Powertools will do me, need a new drill after my ex ran off with it.
  13. Beat me too it . But yeah. Oh. My. God. But why just the Earth? One year left.... damnit.
  14. 5 points clear of the drop, 5 short of europe. Playing course yet reasonably effective football and linked with the England job! Bizare sacking. Chris Houghton to get straight back into management?
  15. Thats a shame. He seemed random but alright.
  16. Actually a little bit offended by that one!
  17. This website may come in use guys: http://www.politicalcompass.org/uselection2008
  18. That may not provide a definite answer though. GWC: 'Are you the real Ryan Dickson?' FakeDicko: 'Yes, of course I am ' The incidental evidence is probably enough for you to be sure.
  19. Yeah. Capitalism and Fascism are not the same thing. It's just an easy slander to associate. Not all capitalists demand violent conflict and despise individualism... far from it.
  20. One and the same in this concept. People felt the standard of living was better because they could buy more stuff. That they couldn't really afford it is almost irrelevant. They will just blame the nasty people who won't let them continue.
  21. She is utterly right. Sadly though, due to the need to slim down the rediculously inflated public sectors there will probably be a point of the poor becoming poorer in the next few years. Of course that's the tories/collation's fault though! It would be far too much to see that the standard of living rise under the champagne socialists was always unsustainable given the lack of domestic industry.
  22. Not at all a loaded question! Unrealistic is probably the right point though. Socialists try to work against human nature by stipulating a system that is utterly fair for all, providing equal opportunity for all and equal chance for all. Human nature itself will always undermine such nobel ideals. Besides which, the captalist system they seak to use to make it possible could never support these dreams.
  23. What!? He was only 64, far far too young. That's rediculous. May he rest in piece but my god... 64...... That's nothing.
