The best thing about the Queen's twitter account is learning about the existance of This Guy



Lance Corporal David Timmins from the Royal Logisitc Corps with what I assume is a medal for being the coolest fucking soldier on the planet.

Wow, if the tories go ahead with those cuts to the NHS, it's bye bye Conservative government in 5 years time.

... I think the Lib Dems are going to get wiped out whatever happens.

[andrewducker]

If the Lib-Dems get the repeal bill and the AV vote through then I'll be happy even if they do get wiped out.

[gonzo21.livejournal.com]

Is the AV bill not too much of a compromise to be happy about?

I must admit I'm not sure of the details of how it will work in practice.

[andrewducker]

Well, it's AV, which isn't as good as some other methods of voting. But it's better than FPTP, so that makes me happy. Other than that there isn't really a compromise.

AV gets us *into* PR. It's not perfect PR, but to use West Wing lingo, if we get it, it reframes the conversation as 'what kind of PR should we have?'

[andrewducker]

Oh, absolutely. It permanently destroys the two-party state, and opens the possibilities so that many parties can be formed.

Hmm the comic seems a bit over the top.... as much as I'm anti circumcision (and am quite pissed off at the recent decision to do it on the NHS).

[andrewducker]

A _bit_ over the top???

[momentsmusicaux.livejournal.com]

Hello. Have we met? I use understatement now and again.

It's really looking like your conservatives are as bad as ours - less crazy, but otherwise no better.
