It is a strange conception that university students don't interact with the 'real' world, as if we don't step foot off campus every now and again :p

You're obviously not, if you're a Conservative, especially over this lily livered debacle.;)

And I think we've firmly established that you're all talk until you have the faintest worry that this might affect you in some way. How long did it take you to look up "diatribe"? Big words don't make big ideas. Thanks for totally countering what I said rather than going "NO NO NO BE QUIET YOU'RE WRONG" and proving me utterly right. I appreciate it.

Indeed because the common sense attitude would just be to go with how you feel rather than looking at evidence. LOL! :D

...or by just blindly following the party line. Though I do concede, because you got so huffy, that you actually believe in what you say on this one, even though you, and the Conservatives, were wrong.

In answer to your question both.

In fact I can't wait until the media starts screaming "despot, despot!" and we all vote for the man wrapped in a flag, carrying a sword of truth and a shield of justice, with the home secretary who will happily sign that 42-day form for the least of political dissenters. I'm sure the people of Accrington will lead the charge in living on our knees rather than dying on our feet, where we'll throw away whatever freedoms we possibly can just to make the blanket a little warmer at night.

Oh wait, no, I suppose I'll understand the undermining of liberty better when I'm older, right guys? Or maybe I just need to leave the comfort of my university and get into the real world where spooooooky Muslim terrorists hide under every desk and we need 42 days to work out whether they're out to kill us or not. Right, right...
