Vince Cable

Looks like Vince Cable has put his foot in his mouth once too often.

He's declared war on Rupert Murdoch. Can't see him surviving.

Tealeaf · 21-12-2010, 17:05

I like his hat.

cashman · 21-12-2010, 17:19

agree gynn reckon hes a goner P.D.Q.

telling the truth in politics can be fatal.

Tealeaf · 21-12-2010, 17:38

My bet is he will be shifted to one side, staying in the Cabinet.

Tealeaf · 21-12-2010, 17:48

Yeah, so he loses his power on media takeovers.

So I was right, as usual.

Not to worry our Vince is on Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special, some more nifty footwork I imagine

Tealeaf · 21-12-2010, 18:29

Who is his partner? Widdecombe?

Oh no she's a far too seasoned a performer for him Tealeaf and not just on the dance floor

What about that Nigel Evans, MP for the Ribble Valley? Maybe Vince could have a gay dancing partner, so retrieving his Con-Lib government credentials and at the same time maintaining his radical Liberal attitude to botty-bashers?

You capacity to be offensive never ceases to amaze me

you have just summed all the inherant probs- up in this country, you dont get anywhere in politics by telling the TRUTH, these politcians are supposed to be the example too us all when our parents have done their bit and we leave home and venture out in the big bad world!!! why do we continue to vote??? when we know we are going to be treated like mushrooms (from any governing party) kept in the dark and fed bull- - - t.

Tealeaf · 21-12-2010, 19:27

Eh? What's offensive about that? I was simply suggesting a little bit of political manouvering on the dancefloor might make better entertainment than the usual party politics we are burdened with.

Anyway, I'm quite sure Vince & Nige would do a good Tango.

I think you'll find that the term "botty basher", whilst descriptive and probably accurate (allegedly), it is not appropriate to a politically correct debate before the watershed.

Shirt Lifter, yes. Botty basher, no.

I've just listened to the tape with Vince Cable talking about the Murdoch case. Who in Gods name is he talking to? He sounds like some dirty old man trying to impress a simpering schoolgirl. It is absolutely pathetic!
