Any of it! And we intend to change things. This election - which was, it should be said, in and of itself entirely unacceptable - this election shows that the people are not willing to sit by and accept the status quo, whatever that may be, and that we want things back the way they were at some unspecified time in the past, and we want it now!"</p> <p>He went on to explain that the party was set to reject some of the votes it received on the grounds that the individuals failed to meet the undefined specifications for a UKIP voter. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=51870#post-149282 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 09:20:58 +0000 ginty 149282@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>more soon... </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=2417#post-7238 Tue, 13 Apr 2010 05:36:35 +0000 sauce 7238@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Has he promised he'll promise? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=2417#post-7185 Mon, 12 Apr 2010 19:46:20 +0000 Mrblacker 7185@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>possibly...... </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=2417#post-7155 Mon, 12 Apr 2010 15:53:14 +0000 edward hack 7155@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Are you saying he might not actually keep his promise this time? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=2417#post-7136 Mon, 12 Apr 2010 14:10:24 +0000 Mrblacker 7136@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Major reforms to the House of Lords, a global levy on banks and a pledge not to increase income tax have been revealed by Gordon Brown as just some of the promises he says he'll try not to keep if returned as Prime Minister.</p> <p>Launching his party's manifesto in Birmingham, he told supporters and the media that if Labour's voted in on May the 6th, he'll set about keeping his promise to forget everything he says he'll do.</p> <p>"I want to be crystal clear about this" he said. "We are not about doing things that will be difficult. The hardest thing a politician can do is to keep his promises. Therefore I pledge that if you let me have another go at the job, this time without voting for someone else, I promise that I can let you all down in my own right."</p> <p>The plea went down well with supporters in the hall, with some activists openly weeping at the power of the Prime Minister's convictions.</p> <p>"Number one in my list of priorities is for us not to increase taxation. Therefore I promise that if we're return, we'll restore the public's faith in politics by breaking that rule straight of of the gates."</p> <p>In response, The Conservatives accused Labour of stealing David Cameron's policy, while Nick Clegg told anyone who'll listen that the bigger parties have been mean to him and if they're not nicer he'll take his rosette and go home, </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=2157#post-6381 Wed, 07 Apr 2010 19:08:40 +0000 StoopyDeGunt 6381@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>The switchboard for Wake Up with Robert Mugabe, the most popular talk show on Radio Zimbabwe, lit up when the subject of the British election came up yesterday.</p> <p>Tunje, a first time caller from south Harare, confessed to being a bit nervous about speaking to Mr Mugabe. "No need to be nervous - What's the worst that could happen?" joked the avancular talk show host. "It's not as if I'm going to send a a mob round to your house and club your family to death. Well, is it?"</p> <p>Having put his caller at his ease, Mugabe listened as Tunje railed against the suffocating atmopshere of fear that created by political correctness in Britain. "You couldn't make it up," he said, as he listed details of how the elections in Britain were conducted.</p> <p>[BETTER DO SOME WORK NOW. BACK LATER] </p>
