Dave thanks for your wise modulates - Bu tI am wrong it all going to be wonderful thanks cheery jolly Brit Pos lets get back to Prynning From: British & Irish poets [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of David Bircumshaw Sent: 12 May 2010 07:25 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Cameronned Toried! Yes, it's great that a party of principle is now involved in power: all those years of opposition to Trident come to fruit at last! Wassat? They're not going to oppose its retention ... Well at least they'll bring us properly into Europe, true forward thinking modernists (whether or not I'm one) have wanted us to be in the Euro for yonks ... oh, they've conceded on that too? Oh well, at least its a party that believes in power for the people, in democracy true and proper ... you're kidding, oh it was their policy anyway, we're going to have fixed term 5 year Parliaments, that means we're saddled with this lot till 2015 whatever happens, O my God. I can never remember anything quite like it either, I feel so modulated I could throw up. On 12 May 2010 00:43, Geraldine Monk <[log in to unmask]> wrote: Alison's right Patrick. Besides it's not a Tory government it's a coalition and the Lib Dems are really making some serious modulations to the Tory manifesto. It's one of the most exciting things to happen to our political landscape for years - I don't remember anything quite like it. Whether it will work or not who knows but it's an interesting experiment if nothing else. And we've got rid of those warmongering, hypocritical, supercilious gits aka New Labour. Yipee!! So bye-bloody-bye weeping Mandy and Campbell and Brown. Why so many people still fail to see that New Labour was just Thatcherism with Ray-Bans I'll never know. So rejoice Patrick - you don't need to fork out a hundred squid for an identity card you don't want although I'm sure you're mortified about the inheritance tax threshold!
