Quite interesting bit on Maoist rebels in India on the BBC last week. Crossing continents I think

Fuck this - Are we going to have another PM who no one has voted for - all this hung parliment has done is show how self interested the New Labor is, keeping their faux socialist public school arses in the seat of power at any cost and to the detriment of the country - have some fucking respect for the people of this country you cunts.

Part of the reason the media were cheerleaders for Cameron was because they had been on the sharp end of Alistair Campbell for so long and wanted to punish him & his party. This clip just shows how he can still really get under their skin.

^ He got under the skin of an idiot. I never watch sky news, I'm surprised how unashamadly partisan their journalists are. Makes you appreciate the public service broadcasting remit of the terrestrial channels. ITV is an annomaly obviously

of course, that's why I said 'part'. I'm not criticising Campbell. The way he fights against the right-wing press is immensely impressive. -

No, there will be a PM which majority of people has not voted for and his dusty croonies who can't wait to stick their public school arses back in the seat of power at any cost to the detriment of the country.
Forget about the electoral reforms. -

FUCK.
I'm so bored of this election chat.
All my friends who 'discovered' whisky at 20 have 'discovered' politics, and continue to band about their condescending, asinine views all over the place.
I'm fucking fed up of hearing whatever you heard today on [insert news agency here].Also, the papers and rolling news, come on, there are more important stories than:
From BBC earlier:
"Well the talks are happening behind closed doors so we don't know whats going on"
THATS NOT FUCKING NEWS. I could do a report on:
What my dog is thinking right now.
"Well he's a dog, so i haven't a fucking clue 'cos he can't speak.From the News tomorrow:
"Shock as Gordon Brown resigns"
The Sun: Hooray the witch is dead
The Mirror: Gordon Brown, a true hero
The Telegraph Gordon Brown Resigns under popular stress
The Times Gordon Brown, as I knew him- by some cunt
The Guardian Grodon Brown, an unpopular leader.i said this in the pub earlier, just got annoyed by some of the shit some of my friends are facebooking about.
i'm all for a reduction in Apathy, but if you don't have a different viewpoint than what i can read/ watch off the TV/ the web, what's the point in espousing it? -

It's pretty sad, that all the stabbings last week and the shooting in Tottenham were pretty much overlooked. Even the Lolcano had to ease up with the ash thing.

Alistair Campbell is fucking wanker and New Labour are an motley crew of absolute turds. I can't believe people have their "fingers crossed" for them to stay in power in any proportion. Totally ridiculous.
I don't understand why anyone voted labour this time round. To me, they've been an absolute trainwreck for almost 10 years
2 wars (one had a 1m+ people protest ouside westminster ffs) and not enough equipment to support the people there
PFI
selling all britain's gold at it's lowest point for however many years
gordon brown papping on about recovery when he was in charge of the economy the whole time
inheritance tax
students getting tens of thousands into debt
gcse exams blatantly getting easier every year
however many new laws introduced
ID cards
etcif I forgot anthing, please feel free to add to this

You are absolutely right. The problem is that you could say the same about the last Tory government. It's bit of a vicious circle, as both governments also did some good things. I'm not sure about the balance between the bad and good things - it depends on our political outlook what we will see as wrongdoings and what as achievements. Both governments weren't working in an electoral vacuum and some voters actually support things which other oppose. Apart from corruption, nepotism etc.

- The demise of pensions (except for civil servants, naturally)
- Lack of a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty (though I'm sure we would have been bribed anyway, like Ireland)
- Gordon Brown unelected (and his U-turn when he called that election once before after finding out how unpopular he was)
- The demise of pensions (except for civil servants, naturally)

Declassifying pot and banning smoking indoors. Some would say was good.
