Not much to choose from really. A pair of ******* trying to court mass appeal with soundbytes.Comment

Sometimes I wish that AI WOULD overthrow the human race. I'd quite fancy being ruled by a cold, logical, amoral machine logic instead of the usual shower of idiots we end up with. Might make a refreshing change.Comment

It would be a refreshing change for a short while, I grant you.Comment

I hardly feel the Tories have fixed anything much. Poverty is a bigger issue now than it was when they got in.
I think they're the best of a bad bunch, that Cameron is the best party leader by far, and I don't agree with the "grass roots views" of the Labour supporters I know but let's not get carried away applauding the Tories' achievements.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

A view I agree with. But cuts shouldn't lead to actual poverty - that's cutting the wrong area (apart from anything else the poor don't have much money in the first place)!
Not that the Tories have done what you say anyway - all they've managed is to reduce how quickly the debts grow - debts are still increasing. So we've still living off credit cards, we just don't have to shift the balance quite as often now.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
