The coalition thread

[scorcher]

and whatever happened to GordON... ?

[Scunner]

It is a hair brained scheme which has only one thing in it's favour, the fact that it is marginally less hair brained than the alternative possibility, the Lib/Lab coalition. Give a Tory a chance? Never! I could have taken it better if I'd just watched Norman Tebbit becoming PM. At least you can understand an old man wanting things to be like they were yesterday forever more, we are now governed by a young man who prefers things the way they were a hundred years ago, God help us. Let this awkward marriage fall apart soon!

I wonder if it's been consummated yet.

Yesterday afternoon and twice this morning

[Highlander]

Is that Mary Hopkin I hear signing in the background.

[Scunner]

These agreements must be officially ratified. She must have a really scratchy pen if you can hear that.

[Highlander]

Anyone think that Gordon may have one eye on a peerage

[scorcher]

Nice one H! And, Keith whatever did that nice Tory member for Leighton Buzzard do to you ? I think we should be told !

[Scunner]

I only really remember the previous Tory in LB, although remembering is probably pushing it. I never once saw him, in fact never once saw him in the House of Commons on tv let alone get up and say something. Not bad for a man who was MP for a total of 31 years.

So does Cameron really have the backbone, can he really make the right judgement and does the really have the character to deal with the BA Strike.

Should be an interesting confrontation in the early days of his tenure.
