This bloke is a solicitor, so (on paper at least), not an idiot.
admires anyone who can speak weasel.

Maybe it depends on your definition of politician? If it means lying, conniving weasel then it's very apt.Originally posted by Platypus View PostI met someone a couple of days ago who tried to convince me that Peter Mandelson is an excellent politician who does a great job.

I think it's quite plausible that Mandelson is an excellent politician, the problem is that he is not an elected politician.Originally posted by Platypus View PostI met someone a couple of days ago who tried to convince me that Peter Mandelson is an excellent politician who does a great job.

Which group is it in favour of human culling?Originally posted by Doggy Styles View PostI met a lady at a party the other night. She and her husband think Gordon is a crap Prime Minister, but still think he was a very good chancellor, and should have stayed in that job. They are middle class and say they don't vote Labour.
I thought Brown's reputation had been blown out of the water by now, but obviously not.
How many of the majority chav-class voters still believe in Labour's economic competence?

WHS.Originally posted by sweetandsour View PostThey have a point.
All the time that Gordon was chancellor my fortunes kept on going up and up. Since he changed jobs they have plummeted.
How can we mend this and get Gordon back as Chancellor?
What did Gordon Brown and Michael Jackson have in common?
They both were forever blowing bubbles.

He was a blinding Chancellor. He did away with boom and bust and saved us loads of storage costs on all that gold.
