Tim Ireland: To avoid putting you offside, I'm going to list my 10 favourite things about this glorious nation without mentioning one your women that I married and one of your jobs that I took.

Can't argue with this—watch for the 10p smokescreen as excuse-Perhaps you've forgotten us. We are the tax paying, voting people. Remember the folks who put the X in the box in 1997, and waited with you, fingers and toes crossed, for the results to com

Agree with every word: All this hyperbole being spewed about Johnson from normally sensible left-wing sources* - not to mention the dismissal of over a million Londoners who picked him as their first choice as merely âœdoing it for a laughâ - is doing

Worst journalism ever? Complain about all the filth available, with a nice little popout box listing it all so you can find it easily. The Mail really does know its prurient audience. (from Bookdrunk)

Forum and comment box archetypes, we've all met them, and most of us are at least one of them.

Duncan on the Boris thing: Well, all I can say to that is, grow up. This is just the most pathetic way to discuss politics. If you have to resort to invoking the days of Thatcher to persuade people not to vote Conservative, you must be scraping the barrel
About
This is my personal general interest journal where I write about or link to whatever I've fond that amused, intrigued or enraged me at the time. I'm a committed liberal, equalist and atheist, but I really like it when people can demonstrate I'm wrong, and have close friends with whom I completely disagree on some if not all of those points.
There probably ought to be a Creative Commons licence in here somewhere but in the meantime consider this permission to quote me (link) & link to what I write.
If you decide to keep reading, please do say hello, let me know where you found me from, etc. I promise not to bite (well, unless you want me to...)

I've never understood why 'Nosemonkey' gets any attention, and still don't after reading that piece.
I'll stop doing it when they (and labour) stop using Thatcher's policies word for word.
Both she and NuLab are corporatists who use the language of markets even though they don't actually implement proper markets. Ah well.
Anyway, off out, going to watch Iron Man, possible more thorough post on the Boris thing later or tomorrow. Possibly.
