I would come in now with a political joke. But unfortunately political jokes tend to get elected. I love Gordie and Boris. They both make me laugh.

Thought we'd all be "greens" on here

Oh well, lets have the Conservatives back, at least they are open with their back handers, corruption, lies, deciet, extra marital affairs, prison sentences, jobs for the boys, insider dealing and selling of the nations assets on the cheap. Cant wait for a bright new future .

It's all a complete bunch of politics regardless of how you look at it!

Erm didnt Gordon sell our gold for peanuts, of course Keith Vaz is as straight as a crooked stick, isnt the ex health minister Patricia "the harridan" Hewit now working for a health company, did our Tony sell honours for donations, is Mandelson "one of the boys" as he isnt elected and didnt the labour party take a £1 million backhander to exempt F1 from the tobacco advertising ban. And thats without really trying

Having taken up office, Tony Blair declared his New Labour government would be "whiter than white".

All politicians are just as bent as each other, Tony's white is a rather murky shade of grey.

i come on here to get away from the depressing news...etc, is this really a necessary thread for the grapevine?

Too true Lady. I saw a gardening forum go to pieces once with good gardening friends stopping talking to each other trying to change the world. No thanks. And just for the record, I support the Japanese Menshevik Party.

Political Joke?
How can you tell when a politician is lying?



When his/her lips move!

I was not point scoring but stating facts both the Tories & Labour(old & new)have had unelected PMs.

Sorry if what I meant didn't quite come across in what I said bubblewrap. I didn't mean you were point scoring (I agree with your comments) I just thought that the grapevine wasn't really the place for political discussion.

I myself am a bit of a leftie and could go on for ages but feel here is not the place.

Me too, but I did try to keep to facts & not opinion.

[sarraceniac]

Politics is like horticulture. There are very few facts. But a lot of opinions.

Well I certainatly do not owe anywhere near what they recon each man woman and child owe and nor does my OH. I do not spend money I havent got, I own at least 3/4 of my house, I do not smoke or drink, I do not take foreign holidays or even british holidays come to that. My house is not full of new things. I grow my own veg, I and my OH both work. If I want something I save for it and pay cash or go without.
