Have you considered Missionary work?

CUK Mod "work" was the best he could do

He tried, but was unable to secure a position...

One parent a liberal, one a socialist - what else was I supposed to do?

...
but then I suppose when these kids go to uni and feel they are all independiente they will vote against anything mummy and daddy say - cos they is rebels innit.

Whilst spending mommy and daddy's money

That's why I started voting conservative, certainly. One parent a liberal, one a socialist - what else was I supposed to do?

[Mordac]

Well, I must admit you had thrown me with the hatred and violence towards Gypsies , until I remembered John Bercow doesn't like them either.

I have no problem with gypsies per se, but with crippled gypsy children I have to draw the line. (She was definitely faking it, surprised you didn't notice). Oh, I see, the mention of "she was definitely faking it" has spooked you a bit...

When was the last time a Labour leader got more votes than JC?

Didn't he assume the role in a far more emphatic way than Milliband? Didn't he in fact increase his vote when challenged?

Or are you confusing the Labour party with the PLP perhaps?

I don't think you can really draw a comparison can you. For example, just because a load of people where members of PIE & vote in a leader, doesn't mean that anyone outside of that organization is going to vote for them. He's just drawn in a certain type of new member.

You do the maths, there were 654k members eligible to vote, and he got 303k votes. I'm not confusing the PLP thingy, they'll probably be able to hold their next shadow cabinet meeting in a phone box. Which bit of the "more than half of the electorate in his own party didn't even vote for him" didn't you understand?

[d000hg]

Nope, I was suggesting that if more than half of his own party won't vote for him, what chance does he have of being elected by the general populous?
Hopefully you did understand this time - I don't want to have to spell it out again.

If you don't wash your mouth out, I'll do it myself (or I'll outsource the job to someone else for below minimum wage and inside IR35). How the feckity feck dare you?

For some reason, I always thought that you'd be a Labour Supporter. They are the party of sitting on their arses and waiting for it to be handed to them on a plate aren't they?

And you think those who didn't want him as leader will vote Tory instead

He thinks all kids should be like William Hague.

I wasn't saying or implying what they should be like, only what a good many of them (probably most) are like.

[d000hg]

Just humour the little gnome, over half his party members didn't even vote for him, so the country should be safe.
