Off Topic The Politics Thread

a related topic, Blair and Hague have come up with what I think it a excellent suggestion to give everyone in the UK a digital passport on their smart phone. I think we're going to hear more about this.



Is thought up by their friends in the telecommunications industry. Not everyone can afford or even own a smart phone.

That will stop those nasty poor people from having any rights to vote or probably claim benefits....unless the government gives everyone a smart phone...then it's a brilliant idea

 

And we all thought Blair was great at first…..what fools we were

 

For those who genuinely can't afford a smart phone, (you can pick up a new Nokia for £100) then the govt should supply one as part of the benefits package. Prices are tumbling and the govt could get a good block deal.

 

I cannot agree with you more. B*****

 

...someone's friend will benefit

 

The change to 67 means I will have to wait a further year too.

 

Did it affect you plans Col ? Mean you had to plan on working longer ?

 

Plenty of ‘goodwill and tolerance’ on show here.

I heard these two crooked old farts on the radio this morning. Why do we give time to these people, lecturing us on how everyone else should behave, what they should do in the future. Why anyone should listen to these twentieth century men on technology and the future is completely beyond me. And I speak as a proud, and self aware, twentieth century man. You’ve had your chance, do the decent thing and **** off quietly. Noses too deep into the trough to stop stuffing your faces yet?

Put a bit of a crimp on my day. For five minutes. Then I started thinking about the brilliance of British Home Secretaries in creating our very own Guantanamo Bay in Syria, and not even paying for it! We’re ****ing great we are.

 

Blair is still a hero of the Neo-Liberal left, purely because he got his right wing form of the Labour Party into power. His true colours are now coming out

 

His colours came out a long time ago with Iraq and a multi-million pound property empire. He's looking to rehabilitate himself. Doesn't make him wrong, moving the UK into the digital age. It's gonna happen with or without him

 

You know he’s wrong when he opens his mouth. The third Antichrist

 

Lord Keir is modelling himself on him...

 

You’re not wrong there…..and that’s why I struggle to vote Labour

 

I can afford a smart phone but I absolutely refuse to buy one I just don't want to be enslaved by such unnecessary stuff.

 

Of course it’s necessary…how else could I bet on the Guatemalan under 21, third division fuzzball

 

Thought you'd be more up for a bit of dwarf throwing...

 

I’d be the dwarf being thrown…..

 

Keep eating those cakes....

 

Only till the 9th….then back on the fitness trail again.
Didn’t realise how tired and lethargic no caffeine would make me…and got a constant headache. Cold turkey ain’t good
