DEM not gonna CON dis NATION: Rolling UK politics in the short-lived Cleggeron era

weird...labour just called to my door about mayoral elections, obv strategically disrupting cameron's speech......and my fish finger sandwich.

seriously patronising now...

wtf was that thing on my screen just now

fucking batboy or something

BBC deputy political editor James Landale says: So, before a single word about cuts, Mr Cameron is yet again making an argument for his Big Society. His theme: citizenship is a relationship, not a transaction. His slogan: Your country needs you. The Daily Mail front page tomorrow will show a mock-up of Mr Cameron in Kitchener's famous wartime poster.

Oh FFS please no.

radical idea, never been done before

so much unstomachable shit

"that thing you can't measure, but you know it when you see it, which is a sense that our great country is moving forward once again"

you can "see" a sense now. that an entire landmass/political area is "moving forward". but you can't measure that sense, that you can see, of course.

we're deffo getting trident

fun for lib dem activists

sam cam has bone structure, politics be damned

Has he mentioned bankers yet?

he just did, but we seem to have moved on

they need to lend more to small bidnesses

just love lectures about hardship and pulling together and admiring people who strike out on their own from people like cameron and osborne who have never had a single worry about their future financial security and are doing this as a hobby

it's a bit like being lectured on fraternal solidarity by ed miliband

heyo

god he is such a fucking cunt

the child benefit cuts may be supported by a majority but i can't believe tory HQ wanted to kick off their conference with an evening standard hed reading "DAVE SAYS SORRY TO MUMS"

not even a good speaker, sounds like "my day at the zoo" half the time.

fluffed a lot of lines

I know Brown played his part but the sight of a room full of City boys applauding Cameron when he says the last govt caused the crisis is pretty sickening.

this is mental stuff

everything i SAY has to sound CARING and CONCERNED. my VOICE is STRAINENG with total PASSION and EMOTION. COME ON FOLKS

they're actually playing it takes two baby me and you amazing

hahahaha omg

"The PM talks about the "torture" of watching England lose 4-1 to Germany in the World Cup this summer beside German chancellor Angela Merkel."

Thanks Our PM for making the memory of this game even sweeter

"Sorry dudes, we're cutting your benefits now fuck off and run your local library for free" isn't really going to resonate much I fear.

warsi stupid unelected and revolting

She is thick as pigshit

wish that william hague homosexual slur business hadn't fizzled out so quickly, was getting some real value for money out of that w/r/t tory dad

haha, so it turns out that pensioner that cameron praised in his speech is a nutter who thinks that the EU is germany's fourth reich.

i mean throw a brick at a tory conference and you'd hit a dozen like him, but even so

Hahaha where?

he's written a book on it:

http://www.silentmajority.co.uk/eurorealist/reports/wordfiles/GERMANY%27S%20FOUR%20REICHS%20by%20Harry%20BECKHOUGH.doc

"Pretending to act for the general good in a community of 'equals', their target is eventually revealed: first an EU Superstate, en route deviously to become a German dominated Dictatorship. We are coerced and invited to yield our sovereignty, ancient rights and hard-won Freedom to become, for the first time in our long history, a vassal state under the German jackboot. WWI and WWII should have taught us the brutal German reality."

think the telegraph was the first to google him.

LOL Tories. Isn't Andy Coulson paid handsomely to stop this sort of thing happening?

I see the BBC has the "your country needs you" stance while holding Sam, pic. on the front page of the news website.

Hahaha that's exactly the sort of thing that would happen to Malcolm Tucker.

Putting the N into 'cuts' there.

A new meaningless buzzword is sweeping the fringe meetings of the Conservative Party conference. Move over 'stakeholder', 'partnership', 'connectivity' and 'silo' your time has passed. Any self-respecting policy wonk now aims for 'goal congruence', the translation of which is "to move together towards the same point".

Sources tell me of an incident which sounds as if it is straight from the pages of Yes Minister. A high-profile Tory cabinet minister apparently has his own ministerial toilet next to his Whitehall office. His civil servants are quite insistent that only the Secretary of State should use the Secretary of State's toilet. When a special adviser (who is not in the civil service) had the temerity to "use the facilities" his actions were immediately reported to his boss by a departmental tell-tale. The cabinet minister was nonplussed.

The Conservative Party press office has handed out 'goodie bags' full of 'joke gifts' for the journalists covering the conference. The bag includes 'Ed Miliband's Detailed Plan For Reducing The Deficit' which, you guessed it, is a blank notebook of paper. The have also been distributed red stress balls which have Ed Miliband's face on the side and the words 'Red Ed, The Unions' Squeeze'. The fun just never stops.

The main conference stage in Birmingham's Symphony Hall has been laid out in such a way that camera shots of the main speakers make it appear as if they are speaking in front of a giant Argentinean flag. That would not have happened in Maggie's day.

Chilean or South African flag would have done in Maggie's day.

i'm not going to go as far as googling to research this but i'm going to assume that hunt was one of the majority of tories shooting to reduce the termination time limit to sixteen or twenty weeks a couple of years ago.

(In May 2008 in the abortion amendments to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill (now Act), Jeremy Hunt voted for the abortion time limit to be lowered to 12 weeks against scientific and medical consensus which is currently 24 weeks[4]. After four separate parliamentary votes on varying time limits, the majority of MPs voted to keep the abortion time limit at 24 weeks, in keeping with scientific and medical consensus, hence no abortion amendments were added to the bill. Hunt also voted on the same date to reduce to 16, and then 22 weeks as subsequent votes were defeated.)

or what schlump said already :)

I presume he's thinking poor people will get quicker abortions if they're not getting any extra money for giving birth.

That speech isn't really going to go down well with Catholic families...

Not at all disturbing to see on the Telegraph's front page:

I WANT TO BE CALLED THE DEFENDER OF NATURE would have made a better headline.

Jesus, what an embarassment that speech was
