Got to laugh.

And alot of Muslims goto Mosque for the exact reason we used to goto the pub. To socialise around an area of mutual interest in the warm.
As someone who doesn't drink and doesn't particularly enjoy the way people are when they do I must stress how incredibly difficult it can be to socialise with people sometimes. I think you only begin to see how alcho-centric our culture is when you step outside of it. This isn't a personal attack on anyone, rather a reiteration of sooty's point.

Well they're certainly not the good guys. It's more the purile name calling by Labor that gives them a slightly fake sheen of respectability.
Refusing to share a platform with the BNP is the politics of the playground.
How ever much I dislike them I want them beaten in fair combat.
And the attitude of Labor is high handed and arrogant. It's not for them to decide what the public consider to be an important subject.
The inherent nature of socialism and the Labour Party means that they do believe it's for them to decide.
The inherent nature of those who seek high office perhaps?
Thatcher destroyed her reign with that demented obsession with poll taxes.
Perhaps - but even moreso in their case. Everything very top-down, state control, nanny-knows-best. It's pretty disgusting.
Also, Nick Clegg is a f**king retard. If he seriously thinks that electoral reform will magically make the populous trust politicians then he poses an even greater danger to the country than I thought.

Because she was surrounded by toadying toads who didn't have the balls to tell she was a mad c**t and needed putting out to pasture. Or shooting.
Lord Oakeshott is a c**t.
Nick Clegg is a f**king retard. Lord Oakenshott is a c**t. I suppose there's no point asking you your opinion on Lembit Opik then, Aaron.
Quirky.
A fine upstanding gentleman I would say.

That's an LOL.
Sometimes Aaron your timing is exquisite.
Hmmm, I'm not too sure I trust Aaron's judgement - although singling out Lord Oakenshott for abuse is to be admired. I'm going to ask the Cheeky Girl her opinion.
On a BBC London News interview, Clegg just stated that under his plans to curb bankers' bonuses they won't suddenly be poor as they will just be able to adjust their salaries accordingly.
