Alternatively he could be rehabilitated from drug addiction, and educated into literacy via a number of govt schemes. Indeed Ed Milliband has guarenteed a job for him!
If it had been me, I would have been much harsher.
Adam, you complete bell end, you must be a secret Labour plant, you're treachery towards the party and The PM is positively French/Lib Dem.
I've had sandwiches with greater intelligence than you.
There's more chance of me having a threesome with Emma Stone and Christina Hendricks than you becoming Tory leader.
I hope you spend eternity forced to listen to Justin Bieber music whilst a herd of elephants mate next to you.
Today is Trafalgar Day, the 208th anniversary of Comrade Horatio's heroic victory and sacrifice against the French Imperialist Capitalists off the Spanish coast.
Mr Cameron is said to be “baffled” by Mr Clegg’s intervention. A Cabinet minister describes it as “very odd” that the Deputy Prime Minister should have become “more left-wing than Ed Balls”.
“It’s a sign of weakness to be saying all this now,” says one senior figure. “If Labour is enacting a 35 per cent strategy, hoping to sneak into power with just 35 per cent of the vote, the Liberal Democrats are going for a 10 per cent strategy to avoid annihilation at the next election. Nick Clegg has to shore up his core vote and he obviously thinks that includes state school teachers.”
You are about as helpful to the Tory cause as a 50% British Gas price hike personally ordered by David Cameron.
You have the sex appeal of Michael Gove and the charm of a coprophiliac mule.
I have more chance of shagging Luciana Berger on the Labour benches during PMQs than you have of ever being prime minister.
See you next Tuesday.
Is it entirely coincidental that his name is an anagram of A Mad Fairey?
Why all the outrage at their price increases?
You can't tell me any other companies that are doing more to combat global warming than those.
Nite one and all, and a special good nite to all members of the Fatty Soames Fan Club (founder and chairperson : Jack 'The Sporran' W.)
Exiled downstairs for laughing too much
From earlier thread - not impressed with Hunt, and I wanted to have hope. Nothing to do with policy, I just haven't seen him on top of his brief as yet (and he's had more than enough time to get prepped). He was awful on QT on the ed question.
What was the cause of your laughter?
I could combine it with nighthawks.
Woohoo!
The question is, should I be swigging down mead, Viking style, savouring it like a fine wine, or lying on the floor paralytic, as often happens when I drink whisky?

Even in Westminster, his self regard must stand out.
When the rebels were busy making Cammie look like John Major Adam Afriyie's name was certainly not the most prominent.
It's patently ridiculous to suggest the huge split in the tory party over the EU is down to Afriyie alone, but if it makes Soames and his ilk feel better to think so then let them rant. They may well get a shock come the EU elections if they persist in that delusion however.

I would guess, and I admit it is pure speculation, that a lot of those who hate Cameron feel they are doing so on principle but think that Afriyie's moves are motivated mainly by self aggrandizement, which is why the leadership is showing dislike for his moves and yet the boring old rebels are not embracing a potential new ally.
Certainly the level of vitriol aimed at him does not match the level of his actions, so there must be more to it than merely a reaction to his behaviour.
Full stop.
It is interesting to see the different UKIP/Green tactics. The Greens built up some local support and focused their efforts intensely to sneak a win, and are not pursuing the kind of widely popular policies that would allow any other type of tactic as far as I can see, whereas UKIP seem to be throwing everything at the wall, being as broadly populist as they can be and maximising their total number of votes so that, on the balance of probabilities, eventually enough support will agglomerate in one area for them to sneak a win as well, despite not focusing intensely on it.
It would help their cause immensely if they could get a by-election win before the GE to prove it need not be a wasted vote, so I do hope for that option if only to make 2015 a bit more interesting.
F1: early discussion of India is up here:

In other F1 news, Daniil Kvyat (a 19 year old Russian) has gotten the other Toro Rosso seat: http://www.espn.co.uk/tororosso/motorsport/story/130951.html
With Sirotkin pencilled-in for Sauber, that means there'll be two very young Russian chaps on the grid next year.
I've bet that the Greens will have zero MPs in 2015.

Co-operative Group will now control 30% of the bank's equity, less than the 75% proposed in the original rescue plan

He's a useful aunt sally for the chumocracy as it's certainly not Afriyie they most fear but the more persistent and troublesome rebels who seem content for the moment to keep their powder dry until during or after the EU elections. Cammie's problem is that Eurosceptic rebels don't particularly care about Afriyie and certainly won't be cowed by attacks on him. They are far more interested in pushing Cammie and the tory party ever closer to a full blown OUT position and they will be looking for yet more concessions on that front when they resurface again.
That bonus tax just became less likely!
Surely the bigger issue is the mixed metaphor? "chateau bottled nuclear powered ****" - I mean, what kind of grandson of Sir Winston Churchill could come up with that?
It's yet another sign that F1 is more about money than talent. There are plenty of better and more promising drivers out there, e.g. James Callado amongst others.
Sounds bloody awful, if that is the case.
If Caroline wins I'll be able to finance an entire PB Tory cocktail party by myself but dont tell JohnO or he'll insist I do just that
More MEPS, councillors and eventually MPs are the electoral goals (and I would expect / hope for progress on two of those over the next few years).
And didn't Kimi Raikkonen have fewer than 20 competitive races in a car under his belt when he entered F1 or something? Works out sometimes.
I thought you got SeanT to pay for the entire next pbc drinks?

But you're worth it.
Or it might be because that's how Homer Simpson pronounces it. I used to pronounce 'Pro-gress' as 'Prog-ress' because of Darth Vader. True story.

Nick Clegg 'two-faced' over free school critisicm
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/nick-clegg/10394492/Nick-Clegg-two-faced-over-free-school-critisicm.html
"Conservative planning minister Nick Boles, meanwhile, suggested Mr Clegg was a hypocrite because he did not want state schools to have the same freedoms enjoyed by his expensive private alma mater, Westminster School.
‘Clegg thinks that the freedoms enjoyed by his old school are too good for free schools. Don't look to Lib Dems to defend your freedoms, folks,’ he said

So instead they try to appear as a populist surge rather than a mass manipulated by a revolutionary elite at the top of their own party. External factors like how crappy the EU is are more important than their own efforts campaigning I would guess, so perhaps they are just in no hurry to knuckle down and get serious. It's mostly worked up to now, and as the Greens are apparently finding out in Brighton Council, things get tougher once you cross the threshold and get in.
On this though I could be well wide of the mark, but I too am a little bemused by their tactics.
Night all.
I've just realised a potential flaw in incentivising voters in the constituency to vote against her...
Many middle clas French and Germans rent, rather than own.
The younger man's mouth narrowed into a malicious grin, and he began to speak in his clipped Berkshire accent.
"Ah, my boy! I see you still haven't slimmed down yet! Why is that?" he asked, and he leaned across the desk menacingly.
"I tried, Adam! Honest, I tried!" Nick replied, quivering with fear!
"Trying is not good enough!" roared Adam, and quick as a flash he leapt out from his chair, grabbing Nick in the process, and using his immense strength, flinging him onto the nearby couch! Adam then leapt back behind the desk, and, laughing maniacally, opened a drawer and produced a massive hacksaw!
"No! Please, Adam!" whimpered Nick pathetically. "Please, don't!"
But the rising star was adamant to teach the old man a lesson. He leapt back towards the couch and proceeded to hack off Nick's pseudo-feminine man-boobs with a single scythe-like motion! Mutilated and bleeding, Nick begged for mercy. But Adam next did something that even Nick swore was just a myth: he extended his twelve-inch long proboscis, and used it to puncture the poor lad's blubbery abdominal region! And then to suck hard!
"Nooooooooo!" Nick screamed, as he felt his adversary guzzle up his precious life-fat, and within moments he was just a sack of skin and bones, fat-less it has to be admitted, but unfortunately life-less too. Once he had drained every last drop of his latest victim's, er, "load", Adam let out a satisfied belch and a soft, low growl of contentment, before leaving the doctor's surgery.
I find this hard to believe.

Because 80% of Greeks own their properties, I recall recently reading that the average Greek has greater nominal net assets than the average German. How realiseable these assets are in practical terms is a different matter.
