llamatron Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 Hardly a battle. Mine was up there first and quoted from the words of a great man. His (hers?)was a tit for tat, and seems to be some made up nonsense. I didn't understand it, but thought it was my ignorance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeMaquis Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 "too far, too fast" is really starting to grate on me. Do they not get that it is just annoying:rant: at least we have stopped hearing "child tax credits" every two seconds why do they never bother phrasing real sentences? Give Labour credit. Brown gave up saying "no more boom and bust" about 3 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Give Labour credit. Brown gave up saying "no more boom and bust" about 3 years ago. Ah, but at the time he stopped saying it he also claimed that he never had done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeMaquis Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I must have imagined all those television pictures of him saying "no more boom and bust" then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I must have imagined all those television pictures of him saying "no more boom and bust" then. Apparently we all did. Mind you, even the interviewers laughed at him when he argued that what he'd said was "no more Tory boom and bust" ... as if being led into a recession by Labour policies is somehow better than being led into a recession by Tory ones. Not only was it a blatant lie, but a completely ridiculous one; even if people had believed it he still would have looked bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously you need to take off the rose-tinted glasses if you think this is something that only Labour do. Try listening to Cameron sometime for example, the man is a walking cliche machine. All politicians do it because they know that most people are too lazy to find out the details of a story but they'll remember a buzzword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Perhaps a factor that makes it look like the Opposition are relying on cliches more than is the Government, is that the Government can actually talk about policies it is introducing, and the Opposition can do little more than criticize the Government. That would be true either way round, of course, if it's true at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernStar Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 'We're all in it together', 'fixing the roof while the sun shined' 'broken Britain' ................ to name but a few from Mr. Cameron alone, this thread should be changed to 'why do politicians rely on catchphrases so much?'

I think that it's got something to do with Labour having less money to spend on PR advisors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
