    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Yes. We could end up basking in an ocean of Tory benevolence.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    What I hate about politics is the division it always seems to bring up. Left/right, Labour/Tory, etc.

    General Election time is particularly bad with the mud slinging

    Why can't everyone work together to fix the country? It needs more business acumen and courageous decisions IMO.

    "People" who vote for the Tories know fine well that by doing so they are condemning those already at the bottom of the heap to an even worse plight. The disabled, elderly, unemployed, single mothers, carers etc all suffer when this scum is in power. If you can say "yeah, it will make life worse for those most in need but I'm alright Jack and I'll be a fiver a week better off so bollocks to the poor, the disabled etc, I'm voting Tory" then I think you are as low as a kiddy fiddler.

    Default Alas....

    The outpouring of hatred for the white working class people emanating from the Labour Party for some time now has resulted in my resolution not to even consider voting for them again in local and national elections until their attitude changes for the better. Some of the comments from leading members of the party are downright racist and snobbish and deserve to be held in the utmost contempt. I don't know which of the three main parties will take power on the 9th, but I feel the outlook for me and my family is bleak whichever party prevails. Excuse the gloom, perhaps General Election campaigns bring out the pessimist in me.

    [Just out of interest - I live on a council estate and so far the only candidate that has bothered to knock our door to talk was the Tory one. One more day to go, wonder if the Labour and Liberal Democrat fellahs will slum it and put in an appearance!].

    I agree: we should all pull together and destroy the Raving Monster Loony Party! Including its strong and stable leader! What do you mean I've got the wrong party!

    Yes, it all comes down to who's going to be better off. Unfortunately, I don't think there are many people who put the greater good ahead of their own. That's goes for Labour, Lib-Dem, UKIP etc. voters as much as for Tory voters.

    @ Arkless Electronics

    I don't believe Labour has the right answers necessarily, but I agree with your sentiments. I think most Tory voters either don't think about the people at the bottom of the pile and how best to support them, or else they think that they deserve to be there and who cares anyway? On the other hand, lots of champagne socialists who pretend to care because it suits them to do so, but actually don't. So who am I to judge who people vote for!?

    Quite, Firebottle. Perhaps that is in large part the result of the rubbish party system where the elite rosettes bicker over who gets to run things for a few years. Will it be blue, red, or orange? Personally I think Direct Democracy may be the forward. We need politicians like we need cancer, let us govern ourselves like free people ought to.
