Curious Snippets

The sage of Sweden delivers yet another fine piece of brain crappery to delight her devoted braindead followers. The first point of stupidity...

Throw out bad councils, and vote for Lib Dems in Europe. Don't use local polls to throw stones at national parties. But do reward the most principled pro-EU party we have

and

how extraordinary if Ukip is the chief beneficiary of the current scandal. Nigel Farage admits legally drawing £2m in EU expenses and employing his wife, while one of his MEPs was jailed for benefit fraud and another faces prosecution for laundering money and false accounting on his EU expenses. Ukip is no repository for clean-them-out sentiment, yet some polls put it second, pushing Labour into a humiliating third.

But the Lib-Dems haven't exactly been clean themselves have they pols?

There is little difference between Conservative and Ukip votes – both open the EU exit door.

Huh? I think there is a few hundred miles of clear water between UKIP and the Tories. For starters the UKIP position is the only honest one. The Tories make vague pledges with caveats padding out the detail. The Tories promise reform but deliver fuck all. UKIP wants a relationship of cooperation but where our Westminster Parliament is sovereign and has the sole authority to pass and impose laws on the British people.

If Cameron does hold an anti-Lisbon referendum, it will in effect be an in-or-out referendum – and out it would probably be. This is extreme ideological policymaking, commercially and diplomatically disastrous, riskier by far than anything Margaret Thatcher contemplated

If Polly ranks leaving the EU worse then Margaret Thatcher then it must definitely be the right move!!

But it is nonsense. Those people who argue we would lose our voice in the world by leaving the EU are the same who accuse UKIP members of believing in empire and that we can stand alone. Well, frankly, I couldn't give a damn about our 'voice' in the world. So what if we we became like Switzerland? Why the need to be a powerful force? Bit nationalistic isn't it Polly?

On present polls the combined Conservative and Ukip "out" vote conquers all. Britain has turned more anti-European after 12 years of a Labour government, despite Tony Blair promising to put us "at the heart" of Europe – even "leading in Europe". This rise in Euroscepticism is odd, as there is no onward march of the sovereignty-sapping federalism of Murdoch, Mail or Telegraph fantasy. On the contrary, the rest of Europe looks increasingly less eager for further reductions in national decision-making.

What? You mean the Lisbon treaty, which scraps over 40 national vetoes, is not integrationist? The treaty which is self amending, incorporates the fundamental charter of rights and makes the ECJ the absolute highest court in the land? Are you of your fucking rocker?

Name one single power that has been returned to national level since the EU came into existence. I'm waiting.....still waiting....!!!

But Polly has found the culprit - the root of all evil...

Who is to blame? Murdoch as usual

A nice shoehorn if ever i saw one.

It was he who pulled Blair back from joining the euro, which we may yet bitterly regret.

I'm sorry, please explain why. What about the fact that lower interest rates would have made the bubble and consequent bust even bigger, making unemployment even bigger, hitting families even harder? You fucking imbecile. But then I ought to listen to such a well educated individual...

(she had failed the Eleven Plus examination), she won a scholarship to read history at St Anne's College, Oxford, despite gaining only one A-level.^[2] During her gap year she worked for Amnesty International in pre-independence Rhodesia, before being expelled by the government,^[2] and she published a first novel, Leftovers, in 1966.^[2]

After 18 months at Oxford, she dropped out, choosing to work in blue-collar jobs in a factory and a burger bar, hoping to write in her spare time. She later said "I had a loopy idea that I could work with my hands during the day and in the evening come home and write novels and poetry, and be Tolstoy...

She reached her peak at the burger bar methinks.

This woman is an offence to intelligence. When her brain cell collides with an idea, much like nuclear fusion, they are instantaneously converted into pure ignorance in a flash of stupidity.
