| 720784 | 2008-11-17 04:15:00 | Well, it didn't take long. The tories are going to investigate bulk funding of teachers' salaries, having promised on the campaign that they would not do that. Apparently forced into it by their loony right wing mates in Act. | John H (8) | ||

| 720787 | 2008-11-17 05:10:00 | Well one line from Wikipedia says The term, derived from Tóraidhe, was originally used to refer to an Irish outlaw and later often applied to any Confederate or Royalist in arms. --------- Historically, the term Tory has been applied in various ways to supporters of the British monarchy. The word comes from the Middle Irish word tóraidhe, modern Irish tóraí — outlaw, robber, from the Irish word tóir, meaning 'pursuit', since outlaws were "pursued men Doesn't matter "who's in" they never always do what they say - they can lie through their teeth and get away with it - sometimes. --- Just saying :D |

| 720791 | 2008-11-17 05:51:00 | Is that the best you can do? Johno, my point is that the term is just unbelievably outdated and inaccurate. I also hate when right leaning people talk about the Labour party as "communist" Good political debate rather than reactionary name calling works for me. Cheers HH |

Its time for changes get used to it and get over it. Stop whinging like my kids when they told to do some work. |
