Quids is right. There has been a deterioration in the absurd, inconsequential, nonsensical, enlightening and irrelevant here and a preponderance of politically driven debate.


The lounge has been a dumping ground for too long. Whenever admin don't know what to do with a thread that is ill-suited to its surroundings it gets 'lounged' and we have had enough! It's about time the earnestness with which some of the socio-political guff posted in this section got its come uppance and got 'drawing roomed'. Any debate in this section should only be tolerated if it either raises a smile/laugh or contains amusing/slightly-rude imagery.


Any attempts at political point scoring or arbitrary insults (designed to promote or attack a political viewpoint) should be D.R'd. and those with the lounge's best interests at heart should pile on to the offending thread to make sure it is.

i think they are like EDF aristocracy - been going so long that although they may be pointless, dull, degraded in intelligence and usefulness and irritating, they are a source of comfort and nostalgia to veteran posters and something for occasional visitors to look at and have a desultory turn at ... actually not so much ariostocracy as the run down swings and slide of a city centre park.

And the difference/your point is?


Apologies if it was a "Aristocarcy? More like...!" but you did forget to add the *boom-tish! A-thankyou!* ;-)

    • There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.
    • They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
    • Is it lame? Or is it Lamey? (sorry)
