Brown's speech

[Balbi]

Legislate obligation on spending 0.7% of national income on foreign aid....you fucking what?

The BNP just grabbed more votes

 

[Balbi]

OMGZ, he's got a letter from Diana...

 

[Fedayn]

Nothing?

 

[Balbi]

Early diagnosis....I can hear some NHS people coughing furiously.

And he's going to CURE CANCER.

 

[agricola]

"compare and compassion?" more pills!

 

[Sesquipedalian]

Unsubscribes from thread.

 

[agricola]

We're "narrow nationalists", says the man speaking in front of a Union flag backdrop.

makes you wonder whether they will honour the one wales agreement with regards to expanding the assembly's powers...

 

[Balbi]

Constituency power of recall for corruption and proven wrongdoing...

No, give constituents FULL POWER of recall

 

[agricola]

Where someone has been corrupt, constituents will be able to recall their MPs. Not send them to prison, mind.

 

[Balbi]

Manifesto promise on electoral reform.

 

[agricola]

A referendum on PR will appear, now that it looks like they will get battered in an election. Also hereditary peers will be kicked out of the Lords, but those Lords who took the piss on expenses wont.

 

[Santino]

Referendum on AVP

 

[agricola]

"i have been honest with you"....

 

[Balbi]

Referendum on AVP

Wicked innit, now we can have the BNP in parliament as well as Europe

 

[skyscraper101]

Referendum on AVP

Alien versus Predator?

No need. It was universally toss.

 

[agricola]

christ that was an awful cards metaphor

 

[Balbi]

Dave is going to fucking obliterate with his conference speech, as long as they don't let the speechwriter at the sniff and free booze

 

[Balbi]

Having DNA on file is GOOD FOR YOU, kids!

I love his 'don't ask me' attitude.

 

[agricola]

Dave is going to fucking obliterate with his conference speech, as long as they don't let the speechwriter at the sniff and free booze

He wont, he will take his tie off, stroll about the stage and go on about how the private sector can do more to help us blah blah compassion blah

 

[trevhagl]

No free goes on Caroline Flint

probably the only thing she's good for, and even then she'd probably say something like "you're not very good are you, poor person?"

 

[agricola]

he is quoting von Goethe now...

 

[Balbi]

He wont, he will take his tie off, stroll about the stage and go on about how the private sector can do more to help us blah blah compassion blah

Yeah, but it'll murderate this one. I watch all the big three leaders speeches every year (cos i'm a sad nomates) and last year, with the potential election looming - Dave's speech was almost a call to arms, and then Brown bottled it.

I was fuming though, that they used 'You Can Get It If You Really Want' as the music he finished to.... and I reckon due to the motif, it would have been their election tagline

 

[Ted Striker]

Is it me or did he just say "cure Cancer"?!

 

[agricola]

And now for the timed ovation.

An awful speech, filled with outright fabrications and one or two deeply worrying new policies.

 

[skyscraper101]

probably the only thing she's good for, and even then she'd probably say something like "you're not very good are you, poor person?"

It'd be worth it.

 

[Ted Striker]

Was a good speech fromthe view point of any Labour supporter.

The rest of the country might be a bit "er, hang on, what about x, y and z"

 

[Balbi]

M People? Moving On Up? REALLY? Even their media guys are bloody laughing.

 

[agricola]

M People? Moving On Up? REALLY? Even their media guys are bloody laughing.

they had some weird music on before he started as well...

 

[agricola]

those poor delegates still clapping

 

[Ted Striker]

M People? Moving On Up? REALLY? Even their media guys are bloody laughing.

Towards the end of the battle he mentioned searching for something inside themselves (vis a vis battle), and only then did I start to consider the closing record, and I thought surely no one would dare use M People even in this day and age?!
