I wonder if shares on the open market for Mr and Mrs Balls & Co. and the elfin Eagle twins would sell? I doubt it.

Lazy posting.

Agreed.

Fine if you're giving a link that will further illustrate something you've just posted, or as a source of additional information.

Boring as hell, when it simply says...

'Look. Same as what what I fink'

We are all able to go and read newspapers, or browse other sites, if we so wish.

If you actually offer a considered opinion, I will debate with you.

By debate, I mean tie you up in little knots, and then wipe the floor with you.

I have no intention of wasting my time, debating with what some journalist has written.

Very easy to make statements like 'we can't afford to pay it now because of tory policy'. The statement is absolute rubbish, but very easy to make.

Exactly....a debate.
This does not consist of posting a one liner, followed by a link to either a newspaper, a news channel or some government survey......that is not debate(it doesn't even come close to it). It is lazy posting.
If you have something to say about the link(which if you post a link, it would be safe to assume you found it telling in some way) then you should have the decency to give some kind of opinion of what you have posted.
I am interested in politics,(non partisan) but not in contentious, attention grabbing(for attentions sake) headlines.

Must be oddly comforting, living in an unreal world, where everything is simply black and white.

'Them always bad.'

'Us always good.'

When the blinkers are off, you actually see that things aren't like that at all.

It's just one big gray kaleidoscope, of varying hues.

You're the one who's not interested in politics in the real sense of the word...ie the discussion and exploration of various ideals and policies from all parts of the political spectrum. All you want to do is ram mindless Labour party propaganda down our throats, with the proviso that anybody who dares to disagree with you is a Tory. As Accyweb is home to a large number of political free thinkers, you've come to wrong place!

Hooray.......I would give you Karma for that if I could.
Succinct and to the point. I like it.

Incidentally, Margaret, you're right on the money about the tediousness of just posting links and saying (in effect) "told you so." Karma sent.

I noticed the same chap never bothered when Gordon and Tony were destroying the country, the only reason he uses links from newspapers is because he's not very bright and can't think of arguments for himself, I just ignore the buffoon now, and he's a jock to boot
