Post-Gordon planning

Conservative leader David Cameron has been responding to criticism of his lack of preparation for the aftermath of a general election. Commentators on both left and right have criticised Cameron and shadow chancellor George Osborne recently for lacking a clear coherent economic strategy in the event of 'regime change'.

Mr Cameron admitted that the Conservatives had been primarily "focused" on how to deal with issues caused by the general election, but that that did not necessarily mean that the aftermath was not properly planned for.

"There has been an immense amount of Conservative post-election planning, but we must accept that the post-election situation might well be different to the one that we are currently expecting."

Standing by his intention to rid Britain of an "arrogant, incompetent leader who has deceived his people and bled his country dry," Cameron hinted that 'regime change' was perhaps in itself sufficient justification for wanting to attack Gordon. He concluded: "But if people ask me about the morality of fighting Gordon, I will state once more: His is an appalling regime. And I will make no apologies for liberating the country from his great clunking fist."

  5. It is not true to say that I have weapons of self-destruction. And if I did it would take me longer than 45 mins to work out how to use them.

  6. War is diplomacy by other means. Unfortunately Saddam ate all the actual diplomats we sent him so we were left with no other option.

  7. I would like to refute allegations that I have met with the Argentine President and asked her to kindly re-invade the Falklands now that oil has been discovered.
    This would be irresponsible and the last thing that I would want before an election. Honest.
    However I will say to the fragrant President Kirchner that were she to want an amicable confrontation, then in the words of the peace-loving Dubya, "BRING IT ON!"

  11. Stop misquoting me: What I meant was, diplomacy makes it look like you don't really want war.
    Then you invade the fuckers anyway (if you'll pardon my German).

    I too am attacking Gordon for the sake of regime change. But I do not have to plan for the aftermath luckily

    Maybe people are wise to the Mr Fixit routine, things getting better etc.
    They bought it in 97, but its going to be a long time before they buy the whole Mr Clean routine again
    So no one party is going to race ahead

    You know, funny thing about diplomacy is that its a whole lot more effective if its backed up by the ability to wage total war.

  19. Sad thing about the liberal left is they're not good at negotiation.
    Its all either indoctrination or rolling over.
    Standing by allies, good. But it ain't so bad to get something back in return. Is it?

  20. So, will we want politicians who cry or those who maintain the stiff upper lip?
    Campbell won a 100,000 womens' votes with his tears. Good move.

  21. If only the men in ancient Greece had cried.
    Lysistrata and her ladies would have given in much earlier if the men had shed a few tears when they went to war... and afterwards of course.
    Is that it?
