The UK General Election 2015

Amazing.

Please vote him in. The world could use a good laugh.

Like I've said before, I expect my own country to only have a buffet of dross to choose between come election time, but you would expect a country like Britain to at least have a few worthy statesmen each new generation. Where did it all go wrong?

Now this is the leadership the Western world has been waiting for.

So given all the givens, if I was up there in the UK I'd know who I'm voting for.

Two world wars knocked the stuffing out of Britain and all values associated with masculinity were abandoned. Instead, emotion became more important than reason. The long-accepted idea that the State should be a servant not the master disappeared.

No longer was the primary function of the State to preserve the freedom of the individual. In its place, came a quasi-benevolent social welfare that suffocated ambition and creative thinking. 'From the cradle to the grave’ is its slogan, but it’s nearer a living death.

Yes, but it's not really about the underlying values or ideas of each candidate's party. More about their gravitas, sense of authority and charisma.
I mean, I'm sure Attlee is not your cup of tea politically, but I hope even you would admit he had more charisma in his little toe than these current candidates combined.

That may change. Every woman I know wants to have Boris Johnson's babies.

You must run in very weird circles!

It's more that I struggle to see the appeal.

Not my type either.

From that Daily Mail article: "To look at him you would never imagine he was a womaniser"



I first remember seeing Boris on Letterman years back. He looked like absolute shit during his last Letterman interview, as if he was hungover from coming off a week-long bender. Interesting guy.

Clearly he needs hair advice from The Donald.



At least Sam Cam cuts a good pic for British politics.

Boris and Cameron's wife?

Isn't that Boris' father, Stanley?

As for Boris and Sam Cam, the rumours are legion.

Boris and SamCam?

Miliband sounds like he's in constant need of a Kleenex.

For his nose, that is.

This is really not my habit - mainly because it's none of my business and doesn't change anything for me - but here it would go a long way in explaining. So please don't think me rude, I just have to ask now: you are gay, Ambler, aren't you?

That was helpful, too.
