The UK election thread

[Coito ergo sum]

Here's to another election later this year, when the true horror of the Torypocalypse becomes clear and the coalition collapses....

Well, I mean, Labour got you here. How much worse can the Tories do?

Has a Tory ever not fucked it up? I believe I have precedent on my side....

Labour got us here by following a largely Tory approach to economic regulation (or lack thereof).

Tories following a Tory approach can only be worse.

There is a lack of economic regulation in the UK? Really?

Hehe, irreplaceable wartime leader, right enough, but we booted him out soon as the fighting was finished.


Don't make 'em like that any more.

Churchill was a good war time leader, but his second term (1951-1955) was not successful by any means, he actively sent troops around the empire to suppress independence movement (ironic considering his first term was spent fighting the Nazis).

He followed Churchill's example, for a while at least...

I kept passing him on Aberdeen station.

It's weird seeing someone you know off the telly surreptitiously smoking a fag while waiting for the local northbound stopper.

I read a biography of Churchill. Impressive guy. As a young guy, fought in the Boer war and was almost killed. He was captured and escaped, and made his way across Africa, etc. He was one of those guys that just went through life without any fear of death. Very fatalistic - "if it's my time, it's my time."

And, I suspect him to have been an non-believer at heart - at least an agnostic, and certainly not religious. His son Randolph did not have a religion. I recall from the autobiography that when Churchill's son was in the army, some fellow soldiers found out he wasn't a practicing Christian and hadn't read the Bible. So, they challenged him to read it, which he did, and disconcerted his friends greatly by exclaiming repeatedly while laughing, "Isn't God such a shit!"

Anyone fancy having a go at naming then all without Googling?

Ok, sorry, not looked in for a couple of days.... Brown is joining the dole queue.....

Well, four years from now the Tories will win a landslide. Without Scotland in the Union, Labour will be nowhere.
