Re: reasons to hate the tories
 

It wasn't a misquote, it was quite true that is what was said.BUT it was a partial quote, can't blame him for that, he's a politician!
Lets face it, Ed Balls comment was silly, right through life you will win some,loose some and the sooner you accept that the better for you.And when you win one, someone else has lost one!Doesn't stop us trying to win, does it?
He was a looser in the leadership election, he's still operating, isn't he?

Re: reasons to hate the tories
 

The quote is totally out of context and not what Ed Balls meant - so David Cameron is guilty of editing the words to change the meaning - taken out of context.

Re: reasons to hate the tories
 

No it wasn't out of context! Both their comments were about free schools, Ed Balls saying it would create winners and loosers, Cameron saying what was wrong with creating winners.Even Balls didn't dare go so far as we shouldn't have loosers, just that it was 'unfortunate'.

Oh yes it was ;)

Re: reasons to hate the tories
 

Since when has that been an issue for Politicians ! They're all doing it regardless of party, they'll seize a phrase spouted by one of their opponents, turn it, twist it, or cherry pick the best subject matter that gives them a point scoring opportunity, why does that shock & surprise you Kestrelx ?

Re: reasons to hate the tories
 

Something awry here with the quoting boxes methinks, can someone help ?

Re: reasons to hate the tories
 

Dave, never mind Balls and Cameron, now you're misquoting me! Are you a politician also??

Re: reasons to hate the tories
 

No but he could be a poet and he didn't know it Gordon:D

Re: reasons to hate the tories
 

Not at all Gord, I took Kestrelx's quote from post 17 & somehow it boxed it & credited it as your entry :confused::confused: I have no idea what's going on there, well confused ! :o

Re: reasons to hate the tories
 

Now would that be before or after he's had his plums squeezed ? cos if it's after he wont be riding any place in a hurry ! :D

Re: reasons to hate the tories
 

It doesn't suprise me at all, it's just a very obvious example of it at it's worst - they are all devious. Also notice at the first P.M.'s question time he wouldn't answer Ed Milliband's question about the Child Allowance cuts .:jimbo:

Re: reasons to hate the tories
 

And at the end of all their political posturing and points scoring, we are supposed to believe they have the countries best interests at heart not there own.:mad:
