So do we get a reply where you state where you’re coming from then? Atlantis? Heaven? Valhalla? Of course its only Britain where the word is spelt ‘arse’. How stupid of us. I’m so grateful that the American nation jumped in when they did and stopped me from growing up being a Nazi and speaking German. Where would we be now eh?
Once again, you have a go at people for establishing they’re British, or English in this case. At least reveal where you’re at.
If you are going to denigrate people for the land of their birth then at least have the balls to stand up and admit where you come from.
I’m guessing that in your case it isn’t the land of the brave.
Also please justify your statements rather than just ranting and hurling abuse. Yeah I know this is the pit, but at least try to use your brain, rather than the sewer that passes for your mouth.
SIGH Class warfare is so eighties old bean.
The farming vote is reckoned to command about 2% of the electorate. British farms are actually quite capable of surviving in a free market (as they shoud be allowed to do). The problem with farming is that Europe has turned everyone into a subsidy junkie to protect handkerchief sized French farms. Get rid of the CAP. No one in Britain would notice - there would be a revolution in France. In short - privatise farming
Also the people who voted Thatcher in were people like Essex man - not the rural vote. These were people who were fed up of being serfs in their own country and saw a way out of the horrible socialist morass that we had fallen into. National heroes to a man. Statues should be erected.
Yes there were external pressures on fossilised, nationalised, unionised industries (if you can call what were basically day centres for work-shy strike-happy moles “industries”). These were also faced by our competitors. They seemed to cope.
I agree that the unions should have been crushed much earlier - but before Thatcher no one had the bottle to do it. It is that that marks her out as Britain’s greatest peacetime PM.
Yes management was apalling - it is ALWAYS going to be apalling when you remove the profit motive - why should it be otherwise?
And you are fooling yourself if you think that there won’t be further tory governments. Some people would say we’ve already got one (but that’s bollocks Blair is a trot just as much as Wilson) however another of Thatcher’s achievements is the destruction of red blooded socialism within even the labour party.

I just assumed you were a yank as you are behaving like the worst stereotype of a seppo - boorish, loud, obnoxious and stupid (and fat too probably).
However you are actually worse than even the most obnoxious yank - so apolgies to America for ther slur.
Just to get this thread back to the original OP, the sooner we get a new Tory government, the sooner we stop Blair destroying all of the traditional institutions of our country. E.g. The House of Lords.
As an aside, I am no fan of fox hunting, but banning it is just another leftist class war attack on our institutions.
Lets get rid of Blair (legally at the next election) and save our country.
Here here!
Well said that man.
Do you want to buy a ticket for the Tories Xmas draw - I’ve got hundreds of the buggers to shift? You could win a mini?
Hey! You two should get together and suck each others dicks while writing into the Dailt Telegraph!
Tradition is all well and good, but it needs to adapt to the times. A country run by people out of touch with the times isn’t going to do anybody any good. I don’t like the choices i’m given to vote for, so next time around, ima running for PM. Vote for me, i’ll sort this fucking country out for the better.
You’ve got my vote! You’re not that bad, for a tyke. 
I don’t suck dick, ever!
I read The Times not the Telegraph.
I’m not out of touch, but we can be progressive without destroying institutions or denying our history.
BTW, If you are running for PM I will stand against you.
That you perceive vermin does not legitimise you acting like vermin yourself, even in retrospect.
Actually, “arse” is also the spelling in Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand, to name but a few other English-speaking countries. “Ass” is a donkey, or the prudish spelling for an arse in the US (and possibly Canada).
I don’t quite see how this works. “You fucking eskimos are a bunch of seal-killing igloo-living motherfuckers. Apologies to any eskimos I may have offended.”
I think you’re a bit of an arse yourself.
Well, you’re certainly sucking Tory dick in this thread. Oh, and the Tories were progressive without ever destroying the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people (including my Uncles) that worked in the Mining Industry in the 80s weren’t they?
I do read the Telegraph (being a grown-up and all that) but I’ll have to sort out the fellatio thing with my wife, and she’s sure to have opinions on the matter (she has opinions on eveything else so I don’t see why this should be any different).
Also the Tories didn’t end the mining industry in this country - it was killed by Scargil, McGahey and Gormley and their lefty mates in government. They just delivered the merciful coup de gras.
I’m not going to vote for you as PM - I’m saving myself for Boris.
Please yourself, but i’ll give you two guesses who’ll be first against the wall come the reign of the berserker. A revolution that will be televised. I fucking guarantee you i’d win against that fucking bumbling idiot Boris. Fucker doesn’t even look like he could run a bath, never mind a government.
Having said that, neither does GWB when I think about it.
Gosh! But you’re an angry young man!
(It wears off as you get older you’ll be pleased to know)
That I doubt. I’m 53.
Christ on a bike. What must your blood pressure be like? You’ll give yourself gout at this rate. And piles (or is that the root of the anger, the grapes of wrath?).
Chill out Spartacus. I relieve all my tension by beating up corpses at the Funeral Home where I work, and my wife’s a great help to me. Anger on an international messageboard isn’t the same as anger in real life. In any case, you and Stryfe might want to tell your blessed party to be more than grey ghosts that form a mist on Telly once in a while. While I don’t particulary agree with Blair and Labour, at least you know they’re there. What ever happened to charisma?
They just sacked him from the front bench.
While I’m willing to concede that the unions needed taking down several pegs (and Bob Crow could still use a boot to the groin), using it as an excuse to hand piles of money to Maggie’s Tory cronies is hardly cricket by any standards.
And while British Rail was a hotbed of incompetence and corruption, rail privatisation (at which I had a front row seat at OPRAF) was built on some extremely shaky foundations as well, as subsequent events have demonstrated. Not that BR was in great shape before 79, but the subsequent years saw ridicuous levels of underinvestment in the infrastructure that will now require about fifteen years and £100 billion to even start to get a decent service again.
At least you don’t beat up the wife and take out your (sexual) frustration on the corpses.
I agree that the tories lack charisma, but having charisma does not necessarily mean you can run the country (back to Blair again). If we were to elect officials on charisma alone we would be heading down a similar road to our friends in the USA where money and charisma get you elected.
Sorry, let me clarify a couple of things;
I think I mean presence rather than charisma for your blue boys. I can’t name a single one aside from Boris, and I had to think hard about Ian Duncan Smith. If you don’t have enough presence that people actually remember your name, how do you expect anybody to vote for you or remember your policies, unless you come out with somekind of bullshit anti immigration proposals like they have recently? UKIP anybody?
And secondly, I meant my wife helps me beat on the corpses. The fact you took it to mean sexual gratification in some way shows how low this thread is getting.
(And yes, I know nobody accused me of CorpseSex (necrophilia)
