Start of a new era

[Churchill]

Cameron seems ok, Osbourne on the other hands comes across as a right twunt, and only chancellor cause his best mate is now PM ... give him time though.

Groundhog day?

Anyone who thinks a couple of posh boys are going to bring this country together are deluded.

Seems appropriate in the circumstances.

Yep a couple of over privileged privately educated toffs, who have feck all in common with the average man/woman in this country.
And Cameron has the sort of pudgy face and complexion you get from too many of matrons suet puddings and traveling by car to avoid the public.

I give it 9 months before the cracks in the 'coalition' start to show.

Groundhog day?

Shades of.

Not based on anything substantial, but then again not sure Osbourne has said anything substantial, but I just don't think he's got the minerals for it guv.

Also I'm not sure an upper second-class degree in Modern History, and being a member of a dodgy toff club at oxford really counts as great job preparation for chancellor.

Actually just read his wiki profile and I'm even less convinced than I was before. He's one of those dodgy expnse mofo's!!

New era my arse. In a few months you'll all be whinging again. The words of Franz Zappa are just as relevant here as they are to US politics:

What they do, in Washington,
They just look after Number One,
And Number One ain't you -
You ain't even Number Two.

I give it 9 weeks before the cracks in the 'coalition' start to show.

FTFY They'll be all day ,every day.
As soon as the results were in, they both stopped the "we'll do what best for the country" crap and reverted to the "we'll do what best for us" speil

Great! we've got a two men with little experience and a chancellor with no experience. Brilliant. How's the pound doing?

I will miss the innovation and casualness of the Labour years. And I really liked that ElGordo walked out with his two cute little boys. I shed a tear...honestly I did.

At least ElGordo's wife wasn't shouting at the press and in 10 months time publishing an expose for several million.

Do you know, I quite like what's going on.

And I really don't care if they're privately educated, you'll be grateful for that when the next generation turn up to have a go and find that they can't spell their own names...

Riiiiiight. It's cause all us state school kids are thick, init.

Anyway, we'll be dead, or past caring by that point.

Scary thing, I've just realised is that the prime minister is now of my generation, more or less.

Me too. I think they have done a terrific job so far.
