Cameron still a Wanker

Sky News treating the story sympathetically - what a surprise...

Well, maybe it is a surprise. Because if I was sitting where Murdoch is, and Coulson really didn't know what his reporting team were up to I'd want his blood. And if he knew and I didn't, I'd want his blood. So, if Murdoch is standing by him, that implies option 3...

Err

Which would be that, either Murdoch and Coulson both knew what was happening, or knew enough not to ask...

Considering we have increasing food and fuel prices, increase in VAT, cuts in services, potential 2 class university system,the end of EMA, little economic growth, rising bankers bonuses, broken pledges, an education minister who wants to go back to 60's style teaching, a minister who wants to sort the justice system by sending less people to prison, Danny Alexander and Nick Clegg wanabe tories. Camerons broken promises. Rushed NHS reforms. I actually think the press have let the tories off. There is so much amunition to hit them with.

The press are the Tories

The press are the Tories

I certainly agree but at least the Government has to put the Murdock bid for BskyB to the Commision!

On the topic of Tories where is Jeremy our absentee MP.

It rather appears that instead of being buried by the Johnson and Blair stories this one is actually acheiving the reverse

1200: The Guardian's Jonathan Freedland tweets: "Why would Andy Coulson want to do Tony Blair a favour, by taking spotlight away from Chilcot inquiry?"

A miscalculation of the sublimest order. Not such a good day to bury bad news (original and still the best) after all. Breaking news vs. old news - the winner is clear.

Quote The newspapers support the Tories unquote

Let's be more accurate, the Guardian has a tradition of taking a liberal position. They tried to persuade us to vote Liberal. I suppose the Mirror is not a Tory paper either but not too much detailed analysis there. The Observer has not been a totally supportive Tory paper either.
I am quite surprised how many people are anti-Tory at the moment.

Add together the circulation figures of those three and take it away.from the population of Britain.and you get a.number.of roughly 60 million

TBH anyone looking at losing their job in the coming few months is bound to be anti-tory. In Stafford we have a LOT of public sector workers, at least 50% of which are probably looking at cuts in their own departments. No matter how blue you felt before it'd be hard to keep suppoting them as you lose your job, way of life, possibly even your house.

Im not losing my job but i am prepared for direct action against the Tories to defend the remnants of our NHS

There are so many policies of this government that I am opposed to as I really oppose the proposed reorganisation of the NHS. It will be a costly reorganisation. I am also against the stopping of EMAs and the high cost of going to university. None of these things were in the Tory manifesto. I was surprised to hear people on radio from Poole Question Time booing the tories. Hardly a place for opposition to the tories.

So, lets imagine the plebs rise up against the Tory Lib Dem Govt, then what?

Labour - limp and lethargic and still fresh in the memory are nowhere

We have nobody credible to rebalance the social injustices
