Well first off this isn't one of Miliband's policies, its a proposal by some guys in the party, I mean a number of Tory MP's want to ban gay marriage but you can't say that's Cameron's stance on the issue. Secondly, a part of me dies every time I see socialism used as an American style bogey-word over here. I mean c'mon a majority of Tory voters are in favour of nationalising the railways so I guess most Tories are socialists now?

Socks, sandals, jorts, rolled up shirt, knitted sweater vest, and flat cap. Outstanding beachwear. BRB, off to my local clothing retailer to assemble my summer outfit collection. Also, I like the Farage mantis holding a fag in every limb.

This week in Alex, Alex and Clive bumped into Nigel Farage! Slightly sad that I didn't save more of these - these extremely privileged/complete bastard City bankers found a lot to admire in how Farage wears his City past with pride. It does raise the question of exactly how sincere Farage is, given that he is probably the politician actually most reliant on Britain being in the EU. (I know this isn't particularly original an observation.) Kegluneq fucked around with this message at 20:00 on May 9, 2014 |
