    I love this video.

    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

    He said we should increase the deficit to get the economy going, so was Brown right?
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

          This government is on a hiding to nothing whatever they do. They can do no right. Still, at least people can blame the Liberals for what is to come too.

              Yep, that'll wash...

              Jeremy Paxman (in 2012): So Mr Cameron, after nearly 3 years under your stewardship, we have 12 million unemployed, the pound is worth 30 centimes, and the IMF are taking over the economic running of the country. Why have you allowed things to get so bad?

              Dave Cameron: Some big boys from the Liberal party made us do it, and then ran away...
