Grandad.Malky Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 No different to Labour or Lib Dems IMO. They're all at it. We cant argue about the lib / dems can we, real con artists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artisan Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 We cant argue about the lib / dems can we, real con artists. I dont know how the Libdems dare show their faces. They are a disgraceful laughing stock, sold out completely and destroyed themselves. If they had held on and fought their corner they may have survived. But it was obvious from the first of those televised bull baiting sessions, that Clegg was already Camerons bitch, sad but true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berberis Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 How many must be fed up by the number of times they have heard this sound bite so what to we get. Cameron’s wife turns up for his key speech in £750 dress and is chancellor serves £1000 bottles of wine in a party to thank Tory backers. Are we really all in this together? Did the government pay for the bottles of wine or did that come out of conservative central office finances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandad.Malky Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 did that come out of conservative central office finances? No ALMOST £18,000 has been spent topping up the government wine cellar since the General Election, leading to calls that the entire collection should be sold off to raise money But with public sector pay and pensions set to be squeezed in Tuesday's Budget, Labour's former Cabinet Office minister Tom Watson called on the coalition to sell off its fine wines to prove "we're all in this together http://news.scotsman.com/politics/18000-VIP-wine-bill-since.6372947.jp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be good for their health as well. - They wouldn't have to put up with second-hand smoke, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berberis Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 No http://news.scotsman.com/politics/18000-VIP-wine-bill-since.6372947.jp Is this the same wine you are talking about though? You were talking about the party conference but your link is about Westminster stocks of wine. Can you give a direct quote that states the wine supplied to the conservative party backers was that from government stocks and not wine purchased by the conservative party?

Agent Orange Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Are we heck as like "all in this together". The bankers continue getting rich, whilst the rest of us have to pick up the pieces of their wreckless gambling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about all employers providing fine vintage drink at snap time, after all we are in this together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you give a direct quote that states the wine supplied to the conservative party backers was that from government stocks and not wine purchased by the conservative party? Do you think, in this day and age that plying people with strong drink is the way forward? If Camerons opinion, even of his supporters, is so poor then he is not the man for the job. Drunkeness is not the way in the 21st century. We are the new Puritans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mistake but as this link says The contrast is glaring. The Daily Telegraph revealed this week that at one select dinner for party donors the company consumed bottles of Chateau Petrus – the most expensive wine in the world – at an estimated £1,000 a bottle, or just over £150 a glass. Cameron visited this gathering just as the child-benefit controversy was starting to simmer. The contrast is glaring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
