Does he have a secret hankering to be a music hall performer I wonder. What was all the call-and-response stuff about? It was like Ally McBeal.

Are you the forum's self elected jester?
Is that the best you can hope for at the election Tory Boy?
Setting your aspirations a little on the low side aren't you?
When I watched it, I must admit I laughed. But I think this tactic worked better than normal. PMQs is normally boring as fuck, so this was welcome. Purely theatrical, but a nice change.
It's called pantomine and it devalues the political process. If ever someone wanted to turn you off politics then they would just have to play that little exchange. It was, at best, pathetic.
Some one is paying to much attention to the carefully selected idiots they see on question time.
It has allways been like that in the house of Commons .
I think this way of debating has worked fairly well so far, why change it?
You were patronising yourself really. Especially when you called it a debate.
Personally I think we are worth more than that, I think the country as a whole deserved more than that. These are serious issues and should be addressed as such. Or at least with some respect.
And I know that PMQ is always like that, although not always as bad. If you think that is good politics, or even a debate, then I pity you.
Certain crimes are up, but on the whole crime has drasticlly fallen since Labour came to power.
And to suggest waiting times are up? Please, even Mail readers dont really believe that anymore.
and some things like mrsa thats the trusts fault for not implementing good hygiene practice to staff like washing hands inbetween contac
:shocking:
im going on a ski trip to hell you know, looks like snow this year
honestly though the tory party still is completly unelectable, their plans for students alone are stupid
i care sod all about polls, their poll ratings have been the same for the past 4yrs or so now, what i worry most about is their policy, its not even sound right wing policy, which i may adisagree but can see working i nthe way they want it to, their policy is almost as good in quality as the lib dems usually is, and that says it all
i honestly do dread what would happen if they got in, getting in on scaremongering is always a bad thing
i do want to see labour majority fall to near 0, with the main seats going being the ones who always go with the party whips and i want there to be more lib dems as well as more tories, so least we'd some more coherant policy
Suppose MGRover go down the tubes before the election, that'll cause a few problems for Labour in the Midland marginal seats!
Some of which weren't true. I personally liked the "waiting lists - up" comment. Because no-one (apart from the Tories) believe that lie. I know that the King's Fund disagree with him...
I also like his "hospital infections - up" line too. It's true, I'll give him that. Of course, that we didn't even test for these infections in 1996 appears to be irrelevant to Howard.
