bit of drift setting in but, well wtf ...

'joy'riders will be neck shot

revenue cameras situated where the risk is, not the money

no scottish MPs at westmister, (yes I did mean by nationality, not just by constituency)

same for welsh

1 MP per 10,000,000 votes cast per party, don't get 10, 000,000 votes? no MPs

illegal drug users placed on Lundy Island, one-way tickets only.

build concord mk2 as UK only enterprise

L1A2 & BEagle, that may be said light heartedly, however what a better place to live this would be if that was the case!:ugh:

soddim 12th Apr 2005 20:26

Sadly, I fear that it is too late for any party proposing an authoritarian regime to get elected. The chavs have got so used to doing only what pleases them regardless of the effect on others that they simply will not vote for anybody offering a different form of government.

Only solution is to get elected on a woolly touchy feely tree hugging loony lefty manifesto and then do what is needed to put things right.

soddim,

Pleasure to oblige!

BEagle,

I also have to agree with YOUR points, Iraq was a disgrace and it will rankle for a good while yet.

I am no great fan of Mr Blair, I was in 1997 but not now..........

Pileupoffice,

Very simplistic stuff old chap, NONE of what the Tories are saying on spending is a pledge, how can it be with such fantasy finance as; Tax cuts, more spending on Health and Education than labour, more national debt reduction than Labour?

L1A2,

You still have time to form a party! Like points 3 and 4 especially.

soddim,

Chavs vote? Surely not...................

BEagle, stone adulterers???

there'd be nobody left in the country except a few catholics, moslems and high kirk elders!

I hope your policies don't come to pass - I wouldn't survive day one . . .

As for "What do we need tanks for?" the answer is simple. When you invade some poor sod's country, you can't hide behind an Apache gunship when he decides to empty his AK-47 on you from his back garden!

idle-centralise 12th Apr 2005 22:46

Sorry, but the simple answer to that is that if you were in an apache he'd already be toast :E

LIA2,

You're lucky I've had a few beers, or else I would eat you alive.

Having no Scottish MP's in Westminster would have major implications on the UK, European and World economy. We are the people who keep the whole place ticking over nicely. Disagree and grunt all you like, but the truth hurts.

:cool:

Archimedes,

Cheers. I do appreciate it, although it\'s still difficult to see how the parties will benefit me.

Assuming we did form a PPRuNe govt, who would be Minister for Fun?:confused: :rolleyes: :(

vecvechookattack 13th Apr 2005 10:02

Well the Minister for fun couldn't possibly be Beagle....as he stated "drug users will be boiled alive in their own excreta"....and all that just for smokin a few leafs...!!!

BootFlap 13th Apr 2005 10:45

BEagle


Adulterers will be stoned.

Drug dealers and drug users will be boiled alive in their own excreta
Is this not entrapment? "I order you to get stoned.............. ah-hah you are a fillthy drug user!

Still, it has merits!

Bootflap

See the Labour Party's Manifesto here:

http://www.labour.org.uk/manifesto.html

A lot to read - 112 pages - but obviously Defence is not a best seller for their voters. One interesting quote:


We will never commit forces to battle unless it is essential
Guess that means a change of policy then.

Navaleye 13th Apr 2005 11:42

Thank you Soddim, that saves me buying more lavatory paper for a while. :yuk:

soddim 13th Apr 2005 17:25

Might just last 'till polling day - after that they forget it anyway.
