I swear that tip-toeing elastic bastard needs a kicking.
Other than the collapsing economy, freeing mass murderers and having Gordon Brown for a leader, does the Labour Party want a final reason to put it's self back to unelectable for another 50 years?!?
I swear to God I'll break my promise to my father and vote fething tory.

Labour being gak is no reason to go mad and vote Tory!
The Tories are only looking dimly electable because Labour have screwed themselves and the country.
Join us. Vote Lib Dem. They make good stuff happen. Ask my Gran. In Scotland, thanks to the former Lib/Lab alliance, and the ideas from the Lib Dems, she has a free stair lift, a brand new boiler, and the council will be installing a downstairs toilet. All for free.
Now THAT is worth voting for if nothing else.
Fed up of Scalpers? But still want your Exclusives? Why not join us?

They're not free, I paid for them as did MeanGreenStompa and so did you. Once again I call upon the British electorate to SPOIL THEIR BALLOT PAPER! It's the voting equivalent of nuking the site from orbit.
Article wrote:It is, after all, not just supposed fat-cat intermediaries who lose from illegal file-sharing, but the artists and producers themselves , with knock-on effects on the quantity and quality of entertainment in future. Any reasonable solution will need every bit as much carrot as stick.
This carrot stick contraption wouldn't happen to take the form of a redistribution of licenses (at fair prices) to some of the more obvious internet distributors that are waiting in anticipation for such a move, to be sure to be sure.
The ease of distribution alone, and all of the fancy new marketing tricks to be had speak volumes about the insanity that is the film industry. More is always better, and in the case of selling movies without all the damn packaging it is particularly true. So a few companies that pump out DVD cases in china lose a large portion of their business... but I can guarantee that as soon as customers realize how easy an online process can be (where nearly all good deals are found nowadays, hence most consumers hunting the internet for these deals) the whole new industry of realized digital media in its true form is achieved.
Sounds a bit megalomaniac-like really, but it will work and I do digress to be sure. Big balls break walls, tell you what.
Blair a liberal? OMFG dude, he led us into 2 wars and increased the length of time terror suspects could be held without charge. He's the biggest Thatcherite ever. New Labour was the biggest con our country has ever seen.
I'm voting UKIP
Blair certainly wasn't a US a liberal under the US definition.
Perhaps Green Blow Fly meant the European definition, where liberal means 'believes in a liberal economy'... so the priority is ensuring free trade, open markets and minimal government intervention. Blair certainly opened up UK trade, with an emphasis on building an economy around an international financial sector based in London.
But even then its a loose fit.
“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

It's a bit too civilised in here for me. Talk to you later.
Our plan unfolds.
Scorchio.

Whatever, I actually think we need Euro-sceptics in european parliment! It would be nice if Parliment had more say in how our country is run, don't you think?
But who really deserves our vote? I struggle with that one.

Cut off my net? But didn't Comrade Brown tell me just a few months back that a broadband connection was as essential as food or shelter, and the he would guarantee and uphold everyon'es right to have one?

And your local park is sold to Donald Trump to build his latest gin palace. Way to go Scottish Lib Dems.
n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.
It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. By the juice of the brew my thoughts aquire speed, my mind becomes strained, the strain becomes a warning. It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion.

Well it's a bit like the Tories. General Election is mere months away, with the opening of the campaign season even closer, and still no policies..... And they expect my vote because?
