    Quite.
    I'll come back to what I always say, being in govmint and running a country
    is much like running a large business. Things need to be doable and
    achievable and affordable. They need to be relatively simple and allow for
    human nature. And the majority of the workforce needs to be on message.
    Basic facts that have been ignored to such an extent that we are in a right
    fucking mess.

    Everybody knows that, they even tried to tell that Nick Griffin idiot
    so a while back.

    Must be borked. I'm 71% Labour, apparently.

    Four of those I really couldn't give a **** about, one I was dead
    against, and three I supported

    How *are* the maths lessons coming along?

  8. There's only seven in the list.
    Fwiw, I'd have opposed the fox-hunting ban.

    Really?

    Four of them I was strongly in favour of and the other three I
    certainly didn't oppose. I'd probably say that if I had to pick one
    that I felt wasn't entirely the correct course of action it'd be the
    devolution one because we should have fucked them off completely.

    Am I the only one that finds it odd that the Scots and the Welsh vote
    on their own internal affairs then vote on things concerning the UK
    overall yet the English don't get the same rights?

    I just assumed you wanted rid of the Welsh but couldn't bear to lose
    access to the porridge.

    No, you're not. It's even got a name: the West Lothian Question.
     
    ogden, Apr 10, 2010
  13. Yes. Basically because it worked and reasonably well at that, at keeping
    the toffs on their toes and providing spectacle and amusement when one
    of them fell orf his orse.
    Yes, there's an imbalance there which should be sorted out. Note, I'm
    not a devolutionist - Scots Nats are only talentless cunts who couldn't
    hack it in the bigger arena.

    Given the bunch of jumped-up cooncillors that sit in the Scottish
    Parliament, you should be pleased that you haven't followed the same path.

    I'm sure if you tried it again you'd come out 71% Conservative. The main
    parties are starting to blend in the centre so they can get elected.

    Cunts were never going to pay anyway
    Hmmm Scotland outside the central region really doesn't deserve the govmint
    it got
    Probably right for every large town
    with dogs specifically, kinda sorta, but it was something.
    Failed to rationalise the tax system ansd stop the haemorrhage of public
    spending that results

    A nice proper federal UK system would do nicely.

    Yes, they should, so why not call it marriage?

    I wouldn't agree there either. I think the relationship and process that
    actually results in "direct" procreation probably does deserve its own
    little "niche"? A process that is somewhat rare in the UK of course but
    surprisingly popular elsewhere.

    Buuuut as the Prawns are bucking to inherit the earth and they prefer
    football stadiums for their kinda ceremonies I expect it is all a bit moot.
