Re: Observer plug for Accy Web.
 

Oh I do apologise. Me and my short attention span. It shall forever be my bane.

As for my unsupported "gut feeling"... It comes from watching as Labour ministers stand up, time and time again, asking if "The Prime Minister would agree that... *insert communist ideology here*?" to which Blair will reply 9 times out of 10 "Well... I understand... but... no". Thus... I can see first hand that Tony Blair does not agree with the rest of his party, in particular the back benchers. There is no measure of how left or right you are (except for the Political Compass of course =p) but it is possible to cite events when certain typically left-wing ideologies are dismissed out of hand by someone who would like to be seen as left-wing. More to the point, I've seen numerous interviews where Tony Blair has shrugged off any hints and him being left wing and not strongly disputed accusations of being right-wing. It is these events that lead to my gut feelings, not conversations with Old Labour supporters.


I do hope that I've not been neglecting to pay adequate attention once more, it might just drive me over the edge...:(

So, you've never been to a Con Club, but you know all about the sort of people who go there? Classic! Wake up, Cyfr, and come out into the real world.

As for you, DeShark, you're quite happy to have a pop at me for patronising Cyrf, but then you indulge in sarcasm yourself. "It shall forever be my bane". Sixth form comedy.

I reckon you both have a bit of growing up to do but, never mind, one day you'll learn.

Re: Observer plug for Accy Web.
 

Again, perhaps you should try and form some sort of valid argument. You have already told me that the majority of Tories at the Conservative Club are very right wing. So why would I need to visit a Conservative Club to prove it?

Of course I have growing up to do, it's what people do, even you. However, to try and imply that because you're older your argument is somehow more valid, is absurd. If you don't have a good argument then you could givein, trying to fill the gaps in your argument with petty attacks is not the best way to get your view accross.

Re: Observer plug for Accy Web.
 

But if you went into a Con Club, you could actually talk to real, live Tory activists and...oh sod it. OK, Cyfr, you win, I "give in" (to use your phrase - you make it sound like an arm wrestling contest!).

I hereby declare that Cyfr is the winner of this debate. By the use of carefully reasoned arguments, he has indisputably proved that the majority of members in today's modern Conservative party are open-minded, idealistic individuals who have an inclusive approach to minorities and a deep concern with social justice for all members of society.

Happy now? Good. Right, I'm off to the pub to celebrate Father's Day with my kids. :)

Re: Observer plug for Accy Web.
 

It's reported in today's Observer that on Tuesday Cameron is to make a speech stating that 'married' homosexual couples will get the same tax advantages as hetrosexual married couples if we get a Tory government.

I'm sure Tories throughout the land will be sat in Con clubs raising a glass to the enlightened attitude of their leader.;)

Re: Observer plug for Accy Web.
 

So if you just live with your mate, you could get married and pretend to be gay just to get the tax incentives.

The only people who go in our con club are people after cheap booze or old dinosaur cons that still think if your conservative it's the right thing do, to drink there. I don't think any of the forward thinking open minded conservatives do. They're more likely to be in the market tavern, opposite side of the room to labour.

Re: Observer plug for Accy Web.
 

I presume so, just like a guy and girl who were sharing a flat could if they really wanted too.

Though when you moved out you'd have to get divorced and do it all again when you left for your next flat.

Though the divorce settlements may outweigh the tax advantages.;)

Re: Observer plug for Accy Web.
 

True, i'm glad I didn't get married, was thinking about it, to the ex not a guy, but I'm ok now.

Re: Observer plug for Accy Web.
 

It's funny you should say that, as the most Tory person I know is also the gayest person I know. He'll be happy about it. :)

As am I, despite not being gay, it just goes along with my stance on freedom. Not that I'm a Tory per se.

So much for sarcasm being sixth form humour. :)

Re: Observer plug for Accy Web.
 

Come on, DeShark, Cyfr has already wiped the floor with me by the sheer persuasive power of his arguments. You wouldn't kick a man when he's down, would you? :(
