A right tit, yeah.

*scratches head*
But ... with the ...
Both the Conservatives and Labour have policy sections entitled "Women", because y'know, we need to be told that rape is a bad thing and that political parties want to limit it. It all just feels a bit patronising, especially when Brown feels the need to point out that a lot of undergrads are now indeed female.
Ah I see. Well, I agree.
With you, that is.

Speaking of limiting rape, my nan bought a rape alarm last week, but being old and not having alot of money, she is disappointed she's not getting her monies worth, but I've told her to wear some lick stick.
Hats off to this Duffy woman for turning down a big wedge of cash from The Sun because she wasn't prepared to say what they wanted her to.

Ironically "change" was Cameron's big mantra before the election before Clegg successfully half-inched it.
Yeah, I was counting how many times Cameron said "change".

It's a pity that Clegg's use of it is so empty.
That Obama chappy nicked it too, mind. Typical black man.
Change has been the mantra of every opposition bod who wants to get into power since time began. It's essentially meaningless but it sounds good.
The great thing for any politician about the word 'change' is that it doesn't neccessarily imply that the change is going to be a positive one.
Of course, they might always attach some other words to it that do imply that, but that's just splitting hairs.
Cameron just said that Brown has been spending money we haven't got. That's quite an accusation, since it's impossible to do anything to what you don't have. I would have thought the PM might have borrowed more in order to spend, but apparently not.

We've found that out the hard way.

Cameron's "change" is of ideology, of party, of approach. Clegg's seems to be just for change's sake. He brings everything back to being a "change from the old politics", avoiding policy. The PEB just broadcast didn't have a single mention of the latter.
