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

not unlike Nick Robinson?

Can't save libraries, can save some pots:

Rare decorative Japanese porcelain which once belonged to the family of Diana, Princess of Wales, has been temporarily barred from export to allow time for a fundraising campaign that may keep it in the UK.

Culture minister Ed Vaizey has halted the movement of the lacquered pieces that were sold last year by auction house Christie's to an anonymous buyer for almost £110,000.

The three lidded jars and two trumpet vases from the late 17th century had been in Diana's family for more than 250 years.

They were auctioned in July as part of a large sale of furniture, art and other Spencer family treasures which raised just over £21 million in total.

Ahh, Ed fuckin' Vaizey.

love and kisses,
former constituent and current holder of an Oxfordshire libraries card

Vaizey likes a vase.

"Hey, wrap youself in a sheet and go stand next to the houses of parliament luv, oh, and how sexy is the HOP?"

Hmm, might not be a good look?

Nobody here vexed about tree ownership?

I bet the government loses that vote.

I sense a u-turn coming up, fatboy + his bum chum are for turning. Plus Big Society LOLs.

Good to know the Telegraph has its fair share of comment nutters.

<3 liverpool council opting out of society

Liverpool council looking a tiny bit on the naive side here.

I really want to hear what Phil Redmond has to say about the Big Society now

Sinbad would be feeling angry, misled and disappointed.

... strangely, we haven't heard from this garrulous cunt man of the people in a while

I really want to hear what Phil Redmond has to say about the Big Society now

I really want to hear what Phil Redmond has to say about the Big Society now

He was on Jeremy Vine sounding confused.

it's funny to opt out of a completely vague initiative that involves obliging people to volunteer to fill gaps as if they studied the nonexistent detail and said yes we cannot implement this as though it's something that can be taken seriously in the first place

Can't believe people are still on the "those cunts who voted LibDem" tip. We should probably give Labour some of the blame for assuming that their natural voters would just continue to swallow their authoritarian shite forever.

forgot that phil redmond is famous for inventing hollyoaks

I'm not on a "those cunts who voted LibDem" tip I'm on a "that cunt Billy Bragg who voted LibDem" tip.

Never liked that prolier-than-thou wanker

Bragg has his own problems.

tbh never found him particularly "prolier than thou". And he came to my Beloved Home City recently when it counted.

Ah well, that's not on, aw the best Bill! <-------- swift u-turn

I thought you would have at least gone for this...
DEM not gonna CON dis NATION: Rolling UK politics in the short-lived Cleggeron era

Nah, even a wanker deserves sympathy when menaced by a bigger wanker

Never liked that prolier-than-thou wanker

I'm not a particularly enthusiastic endorser of B Bragg, but what exactly are you basing the above accusation on?

Evidence of the old glazzies, o my brother

WS Sally Bercow btw

Loads of those Telegraph HYS people were very "WNS", so hey,...

The very idea of John Bercow having sex is repulsive.

I wouldn't want him to be there tbh

David Cameron is in Munich, the birthplace of Nazism, giving a speech condemning multiculturalism on the day the EDL march in Luton. He's done this on purpose, right?

ah yes, munich, the birthplace of nazism

what does your most recent post mean caek

nazism was born in yr heart, not in munich

Nazism is for the children

Agreed Posh Dave wants everybody to be white like him tho

tory-EDL coalition 2015

When Dave says multiculturalism isn't working, I take it to mean his au pair has been sacked.

It's vital we make this distinction between the religion and the political ideology.

Time and again, people equate the two. They think whether someone is an extremist is dependent on how much they observe their religion.

So they talk about 'moderate' Muslims as if all devout Muslims must be extremist. This is wrong.

Someone can be a devout Muslim and not be an extremist.

We need to be clear: Islamist extremism and Islam are not the same thing.

Yes Dave this is really making it clear.

"State multiculturalism is a wrong-headed doctrine that has had disastrous results. It has fostered difference between communities," the Conservative leader said in a speech.

Somebody should've explained to him what "multiculturalism" means I guess.

It's important to stress that terrorism is not linked exclusively to any one religion or ethnic group.

We need to be absolutely clear on where the origins of these terrorist attacks lie - and that is the existence of an ideology, 'Islamist extremism'.

munich is known for other things, and i think it's, at best, a bit paranoid to suggest the choice of that town for that speech is some kind of dog whistle.

Scouting underage sex rings with Frankie 'The Pink Panther' Ribberz

undeniably associated with nazism tho and presume the thesis James Mitchell was forwarding was at least partially tongue-in-cheek

are you from munich

re: multiculturalism debate, blast the house of commons into space plz

loving the hat acoleuthic

i have lived in munich, yes. thinking nazism when you think munich is like thinking terry venables when you think of fc barcelona or british tourists when you think of the situation in egypt.
