http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/georgeosborne/11128754/Conservative-Party-conference-2014-sketch-George-Osborne-goes-Trainspotting.html "Choose jobs. Choose enterprise. Choose security. Choose prosperity, investment, fairness, freedom. Choose David Cameron, choose the Conservatives, choose the future!" Conservative voters truly are the ficklest bunch if they fall for this **it Anyone who's seen Trainspotting or knows the original - "Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a f------ big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers... Choose fixed-interest mortgage payments. Choose a starter home... Choose rotting away at the end of it all, p------ your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, f----- up brats you've spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life..." I just don't think the conservatives understand what they are doing half the time, I really don't. It brings me back to the times Scameron has quoted left-wing sources in his so-called 'revolution' with no hint of irony, no understanding of what the original source actually meant. Or the time Gove quoted Gramsci completely and I mean completely out of context It's frankly scary that we have such dimwits in power |

The problem is the only way I can see of changing the country for the better is succeeding where Guy Fawkes failed. |

We really ought to have a 'Conspiracy Theory' section where people can explore their political and economical fantasies to their hearts content. |

I thought that we had just such a person in parliament in the guise of Scameron! |

Well as conspiracy theories go it's on the ball because I have been telling it for years. I predicted that the stagnant economy would flourish in election year ......... my error being that I did expect more of a boom, growth in ALL sectors of the economy. Why I did expect that is up for discussion if you want ........ Osborne must be disappointed at the lack of any real investment growth in manufacturing for instance. I do have some idea as to why it's not going entirely to plan. |

He was driven by his religious beliefs not his political beliefs, if you have to set out to murder people for either to force your beliefs on others that means you are wrong and only represent a minority view of the people around you in this day and age of democracy. |
