I had a Lib-dem bloke turn up on my doorstep yesterday... on a feckin' bank holiday
That’s good enough reason for me not to vote for the inconsiderate bastards.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson -

The question ios
Do you vote for Labour so they carry on being complete idiots in the mistaken belief we still love them (I never did)
Or
Do you take your opportunity to give them the bl**dy nose they so richly deserve, but then they make up to what complete [insert-as-appropiate] they have been and then improve in time to inflict another term of New Labour on us.Comment
