Cameron and friends are already set to discretely consign at least 2 million people to a new serf class through workfare, relocate all forms of poverty and disadvantage into a northwestern ghetto and turn residential care for the disabled into virtual prisons with no independent spending money while enthusiastically promoting a glorious new dawn of voluntary euthanasia.
But, be thankful for small mercies, at least they have NO INTENTION of being vulgar and American about it.

Explains why there was no violence at a Glenn Beck rally in the states, while you guys had a 4 alarm riots with people being beaten, etc.

I don't quite see what Zeraeph's statement has to do with violence at a Glenn Beck rally.

Why do you think we avoid the place, mate? The place is a haven for alcoholics, thugs, criminals and Glaswegians.
What is the "Tea Party Thinking" the journalist is referring to, anyway? I believe the Boston Tea Party was a group of people who were fed up with British taxes on tea, so they threw it all in the Boston harbour in protest. What has that got to do with current UK politics?

Because the liberal aristocracy is freaked that there is a grassroots movement that is not abiding by their authorized boundaries of political debate and there is no leader whose character they can assassinate.

They tried to take him out and it didn't have any bearing on the conservatives' resolve. Taking out Murdoch will not take out those sympathetic to the tea party and other conservative causes because Murdoch doesn't control them. I don't know if he thinks he does, but he doesn't.

So who are being referred to as Tea Partiers in this context? I'm afraid the term "liberal aristocracy" means nothing to me.

Actually, I think it has increased Conservatives' resolve.
