1996 #4 is my personal favourite.

Re: The political quotes thread
 

"I'd have more of these if it wasn't for Labour" ? :D

Re: The political quotes thread
 

'I applied for Gordon Brown's tax credits and all I've got left is this' ?

Actually, I think 'that's nearly three pints of Guinness' when I see a tenner, but that's living in London for you.

I see Gordon isn't the only one not good at maths...

Obviously talking about another goverment.

Obviously rooting for the wreckers.

1996

"We wish to change politics itself, to bridge the gap between governed and government and to try to address the deep seated and damaging disaffection with politics which has grown up in recent years."

2004

"If I am elected, I would serve a full third term. I do not want to serve a fourth term - I don't think the British people would want a prime minister to go on that long. But I think it's sensible to make plain my intention now."

2005

"I think I have a very clear idea of what the British people now expect from this government for a third term."


Oh really :rolleyes:

Yes, really, he's a straight kind of guy you know, told us himself.
So in that case, he must have just decided to ignore the people's expectations.

And something Galloway knows a lot about, its backsides (normally found kissing dictators')

Actually, I wonder at the moment, who's less likable?
Tony Bliar

or George Galloway.

Amazingly enough, over at the Army Rumour Service website, Blair came in less popular than Gorgeous George with many of the regulars. Since GG is about as popular as pond-slime with fighting men this is somewhat of a surprise, but then GG hasn't sent the Army into lethal danger on a pack of lies, has he?

No but he did call for Iraqi's to rise up and slaughter the army.
It's one thing to send the troups in to provide security, it's something completely different to encourage others to attack them.

Re: The political quotes thread
 

In Iraq? Is this some kind of sick joke?

Mind you, the people of Iraq don't need George's encouragement - they seem to be rising up quite nicely by themselves. 51% support attacking our troops, it seems, which says something for the kind of security we're providing.

Re: The political quotes thread
 

Sorry, what do you think they are supposed to be doing there?

Do you agree with Galloway's calling for the troops to be attacked?

Just heard another of Bliar's gems on the radio:

.....purer than pure ... we will not have any truck with anything which is improper at all...

...today is not a day for soundbites....... I feel the hand of history upon our shoulders...."
