Oh well, that's OK then.Ell-ano said:to be fair half of the country didn't vote for the Tories so it's not hard to see why people are upset. Especially when the newly 'elected' government will make the people who suffer most suffer even more.foxy said:Damocles said:Tossers.

Damocles said:OB1 said:Damocles said:My rather Laboured point (heh) is that the idea of just creating apprenticeships whilst cutting the benefits is stupid because the majority of young kids who go on benefits don't WANT to be on benefits, but are forced to due to the lack of jobs. Out of those three million, how many do you think will touch Leigh or any of the thousands of towns like it across the UK that have been left to rot.......
Thousands of towns like it, it that possibly the daftest thing you have ever posted?
Have you any idea how many towns there are in the UK?
Obviously when I said "town" I wasn't referring to the geographical designation of it but the idea of "places"
You are the man that likes specificity, what are places? Do you mean settlements or just cobbled streets?

Len Rum's Dream:
"While riding on a train going west
I fell asleep for to take my rest
I dreamed a dream it made me sad
Concerning Red Ed and the power he could have had......"
Anyway enough of that intro to Dylan's masterpiece the dream goes that Ed ( like other Labour leaders before him) never had the problem of Scotland and the SNP. So he racks up 44 extra seats to the 232 he won,giving him 276. Then because middle England is not turned off by fear of SNP poking their noses into the Government he wins 30 more of the marginal seats he failed to get from the Tories and the Lib Dems hold on to ten seats the Tories gained from them. Result Labour 306, Tories 292, Lib Dems 18. Ed forms a majority coalition with Lib Dems with 324 seats and a new Lab/ Lib alliance emerges.
Only a dream but it could have happened.
To finish Bob's song:
"Ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat
I'd give it all gladly if Ed's life had been like that"
"While riding on a train going west
I fell asleep for to take my rest
I dreamed a dream it made me sad
Concerning Red Ed and the power he could have had......"

I didn't want labour in 2005 but fine it's a democracy. I don't go round vandalising property and demonising labour voters. You could use the point you've made for Ukip and greens. It's FPTP.

I predict it was a peaceful demo led by tangerine Steve and his hippy disciples then the nasty fascist cops starting wading in hitting anyone in sight with air Jordan's that had fallen out of a nearby sports shops window

Literally just places. I was making a bit of an emotional argument and lost specificity in stuff that I said. Obviously this is my fault regarding my lack of accurateness rather than a lack of accuracy in the argument presented.
