Actually, I think all the blocks have been used in other Star Wars models. So suck on that.

Apparently getting rid of ID cards is worth it, even if it increases poverty and unemployment. This is moon23's argument. This is why I de-friended him. Sorry moon23, but that's pretty fucking insulting.

It's dangerous to suck on lego blocks. It can lead to choking.

Beforehand it was worth it for PR, now that's wandered off, it's worth these £6 bn of cuts in a year to stop ID cards. I love these principles.

Indeed. Utterly insulting. And reminiscent of Keith Joseph: people's lives use as counters in a game.
Not huge specialist blocks shaped like half of a Millennium Falcon.

It's even more insulting when the Tories were going to do that anyway.

Where's this lib-dem exodus if all this happened that we were promised? I can only see members/supporters defending. Voters seem largely to be annoyed. Where's the activists exodus? Where's the MP's defecting? The breakaway branches?

It's OK, you're saved. It's the ones that are staying that need to answer.I said I'd vote Green next time. What more do you want? My first born child?

You're only a voter though, it's these internal splits that were deffo 100% bound to happen i'm on about. Has there been a cover-up?

Surely that will only happen when things start to go wrong. Then people will say that they kept their doubts quiet as a matter of principle (loyalty) and that the leadership and/or Cameron has now compromised that principle. You can be sure that principle will be involved.

Is the guy on the left saying, "Oh my God, I love him so much!"?

I cannot do photoshopee things, but Cameron should be saying,
"And you see this silly cunt, here...."

We've read it. They don't say what you think they say. And in any case, not worth the human misery. What kind of person trades other people's unemployment against crap agreements that make the Liberals look like the cunts they are?

You utterly shameless rat.
Far more people would be unemployed if the markets thought we had an unstable government and there was a run on the pound, it's nonsense to say it's trading on people's unemployement.
You really think if Labour got back in there wouldn't be cuts? Your living in fantasy land.

I don't support Labour. You, however, support the Tories. And to get some of your pathetic baubles through, you've agreed to put people out of their jobs. That's the reality. How can you sleep?
Becuase I disagree that they are pathetic baubles, I know many people who voted against Labour becuase of their authoritarian attitude. It's just as much the people in the Labour party who are to blame for a Tory government as anyone else.
It's also a democracy and the Conservatives got the biggest share of the vote.
You have realize that if the Lib Dems didn't form a coalition there would have been massive economic damamge done to the country and very probably another election that would see a Tory majority. The Tories being the only party who can afford another election at the moment, and Lib Dems being blammed for the taking the party back to the polls.
Instead there is a government with Lib Dems in power that will curb the worse of the Tories that's a good thing.
