tonyh29 Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 it's funny that when when Brown was U-turning on policy and decisions almost every waking hour it was lauded as showing what a great man he was that he was prepared to see he was wrong and change his mind suddenly now others change their mind they are deemed to be hypocrites ... one can only hazard a wild guess at the difference between Brown and Cameron/ Clegg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was I wonder why? Could it be that some were quick to jump on previous statements? Come on Tony, what are the rules, previous statements don't count or do they only count after a certain time-scales or do they only count if they come from Labour? Maybe you can give a link to these posts, else I am sure you will be quoted on at rules because some on here love to cause problems like that.

snowychap Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I typed in Media when I should have typed in Mirror Would that have given us a link to the article? The idea that it was a 'typo' is pretty comical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drat01 Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 No no, your getting confused with Ed Balls. Am I - how come then you were the one that used the following?

leviramsey Posted May 15, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted May 15, 2010 On the 55% issue, how about: * On a loss of confidence at 50%+1, unless the PM (or theoretically HM unilaterally) dissolves parliament first, then there's a referendum on whether to dissolve parliament. * If confidence is lost at 55%, then parliament is automatically dissolved.

You're losing it. New rules. The rules for linking to articles have been in place for a long time. Wind your neck in old chap. One never knows which rules we are playing to in these threads in what we can post. Apparently previous statements from politicians can now be disregarded except when they were Labour ones. Previous viewpoints on certain politicians can now be disregarded because they have formed this wonderful happy new alliance, again of course only if they are not labour. Other rules are seemingly made up day after day after day. One finds it very difficult to keep track at times. Luckily we have kind fellows about to point out the errors of our ways, if only politicians had the same diligent watchers, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drat01 Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Darren - are you calling me a liar, yes or no? At this moment all of your posts are post on poster - against the rules as it happens (thanks to people now reminding me to check them before every post), so I suggest if you have a problem you also look at the rules and consult the mods. It was a typo - media instead of mirror - not a problem except for those intent on being silly little children, OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted May 15, 2010 Moderator Share Posted May 15, 2010 FFS people, some of you are really old enough to know better. Can everyone please stick to posting about things other than posters and start showing a little respect to each other. Oh and can you all please leave moderation to those of us unlucky enough to have to deal with this kind of crap. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
