State of the parties as 2015 General Election looms.

[Beef Oven!]

Probably. I was thinking of the Gargoyle, but didn't want to get all personal and upset ff.

You think calling people you don't agree with "society's creeps" isn't personal? Or addressing them as "the likes of you"? I don't understand your rationale for not wanting to upset ff.

[Beef Oven!]

It's certainly NOT ok to chop off the heads of people....... end

Well you say that, but it was ok to chop people's heads of until about fifty years ago when we said it wasn't. It will take some countries a little time to catch up with our thinking. Wouldn't you say?

French frank does not like personal aspersions being cast at radio or TV announcers and presenters.

How does being "internationally-recognised" mean that it's somehow ok to chop peoples heads off?

Did I say that? In fact I suggested quite the opposite by saying I agreed with much of what RB said apart from the comparison he made.

By all means make things up as you go along for yourself, but not for me, thanks!

I would never be so patronising as to assume other countries incapable of recognising decapitations to be unacceptable anywhere in these modern times.

It never was OK,
Many years ago I voted for (one of the few times I have voted FOR rather than AGAINST) an Ethical Foreign policy.
To return to the subject (YOUR subject) which of the parties have this in their manifesto?

but at least SA is an internationally-recognised state so there is really little comparison between it and a bunch of armed thugs murdering men, women and children

Was what you said.

I can't see how you think there is "little comparison" ????

It seems like the same behaviour to me.

I was being ironic. Go and be nasty somewhere else, please.

[Beef Oven!]

It must've been ok, because people believed that if you did certain things, you deserved to get your head lopped off. I think it could be that there is something relative, perhaps over time, about what is considered ok.

One man's 'making it up', is another man's improvisation.

My sense of humour must be on the blink today then.

[Beef Oven!]

The Labour Party has realised that, from an electoral perspective, they need to get on message on this.

Will they be able to turn it around in Scotland?

Or no matter how much time they have, will they get smashed in Scotland and the SNP will move closer to holding the balance of power in Westminster?

I think it's going to be a fascinating 2015 general election.

Wow, that's a development! It will be interesting to see how this affects THE STATE OF THE PARTIES AS 2015 GENERAL ELECTION LOOMS
