I think the current Graun (I only read the fashion pages) position on Assange is that he's a dissembling, self-obsessed, anti-semite who should answer his rape charge. They've had a big falling out and all.


If Andy is found guilty it'll be another example of "the help" taking the hit. Just as the Spad "Snowy" Smith did for Tintin.


Right, kids?

Nettie - IMO Cameron's judgement has been pretty much proven terrible as some of his critics said before, he doesn't need anything stuck on him as much as that'd have you wetting your pants.


And if you want to be tribal...Now, War crimes THAT is something that should be stuck on a recent PM and his Head of Communications (and Cambell's downright hypocracy and faux moral outrage in front of Leverson did really make me want to puke) There's two people RIGHT THERE who have done more harm to politics in this country than Cameron has yet had a chance to...bet you weren't banging on aboiut nailing them? They're maggots, Cameron's just a lightweight who seems to be getting worse.

A lot of people "gunning" for coulson and hunt will also have spent much of the last 10 years gunning for Blair. A lot of people hate the stench of corruption regardless of which house it stems from. The liberals on here have largely spent the existence of the forum hating Blair. There is no liberal conspiracy to hate "that" lot and defend "the other" lot



It's one thing to berate tribalism, but very hard to unite when some people appear to be so bent on divisiveness

I have seen numerous post on here and facebook from several (not from your good self I hasten to add) berating anyone who voted Liberal Democrat in the last election whilst I presume many of those beraters voted for a party that in its last two terms rode roughshod over our democracy; introduced a horrible sort of 'presidentism'..withoiut the checks and balances of the US; took media manipulation and spin to a new level including lying to get us into a dodgy war that has cost 100,000s of lives; made changes to our civil rights that had stood for years; etc etc etc...and yet, and yet. "anyone who vpted liberal democrat should take a long hard look at themselves in the mirror"...makes me laugh


The tories communication is so poor that it's almost refreshing :))

    • I'm a bit worried by your sudden involvement on this Forum.  The former Prince Andrew is now Andrew Mountbatten Windsor Mountbatten in an anglicisation of Von Battenburg adopted by that branch of our Royal Family in 1917 due to anti-German sentiment. Another anglicisation could be simply Battenburg as in the checker board cake.  So I surmise that your are Andrew Battenburg, aka Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and that you have infiltrated social media so that the country can put the emphasis on Mandelson ather than yourself.  Bit of a failure. I don't expect an answer from police custody.  
    • We had John fit our PLYKEA kitchen (IKEA cabinets with custom doors) and would happily recommend him and Gabi to anyone. Gabi handled all communication and was brilliant throughout — responsive and happy to answer questions however detailed. John is meticulous, cares about the small details, and was a pleasure to have in the house. The carpentry required for the custom doors was done to a high standard, and he even refinished the plumbing under the sink to sit better with the new cabinets — a small touch that made a real difference. They were happy to return and tie up a few things that couldn't be finished in the time, which we appreciated. No hesitations recommending them.
    • Not sure about that. Rockets seems to have (rightly in my view) identified two key motivating elements in Mcash's defection: anger at his previous (arguably shabby) treatment and a (linked) desire to trash the Labour party, nationally and locally. The defection, timed for maximum damage, combined with the invective and moral exhibitionism of his statement counts as rather more than a "hissy fit".  I would add a third motivation of political ambition: it's not inconceivable that he has his eye on the Dulwich & West Norwood seat which is predicted to go Green.  James Barber was indulging in typical LibDem sleight of hand, claiming that Blair introduced austerity to *councils* before the coalition. This is a kind of sixth form debating point. From 1997-1999 Labour broadly stuck to Tory spending totals, meaning there was limited growth in departmental spending, including local govt grants. However local government funding rose substantially in the Noughties, especially in education and social care. It is a matter of record that real-terms local authority spending increased in the Blair / Brown years overall. So he's manifestly wrong (or only right if the focus is on 1997-1999, which would be a bizarre focus and one he didn't include in his claim) but he wasn't claiming Blair introduced austerity more widely. 
    • My view is that any party that welcomes a self-declared Marxist would merit a negative point.
