Capital Summertime Ball 2024

[KingTutsWWH]

Bnp got well loads of votes in my area (barking and dagenham) last time and i hope they do the same this time my area is a big area for bnp and all these murders are many involving people that are not english

I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt on this one, because I feel you are seriously ill informed. It is incredibly important to understand exactly what you are voting for before you do so. I also think you'll find that the BNP don't have quite as much support as you suspect.

Have a little browse of this, especially Spacephantom and Captain Starkiller's entries - you might learn a thing or two:

They also maintain a policy of re-criminalisation of homosexuality. You are visiting a site dedicated to a deviant according to your beliefs? Strange...

Meh, let people vote for whoever they want. You can't have a free society if one particular view is banned no matter how much you may disagree with it.

With all due respect Mr B I feel you have completely missed the point of my previous post. It was indended to be educational (I am a teacher afterall), at no point did I suggest any particular view ought to be banned merely because I disapprove of it.

[Andy B]

Mine was just a general point rather than a direct reply.....I'm just a great believer in personal liberty is all.

As well as a great believer in "Meh....."

[Catherine.]

Is anyone else voting in the election? Or got any opinions about the candidates (other than Boris Johnson)?

I will be, I live in London and am really glad I can vote.

Unfortunatly, for the next 3-4 years I won't be living in London, (I'm hoping to study at UEA) so I think I'm going to vote for Boris just for a laugh.

Anyone see him on question time yesterday? Hilarious.

[Andy B]

It's so weird, EVERYONE I know watched that last night and just flicked on to it by accident and was glued to it...

He was terrible on it, couldn't answer a single question..at least Red Ken was vaguely honest (as much as he can be) and funny....

I'd rather have that anyday.

[Catherine.]

at least Red Ken was vaguely honest (as much as he can be)

That's a bit of an understatement. I think his whole olympic budget kinda screwed him over, although the woman who kept repeating that sweet over the tax was bizarre...

[Andy B]

Oh the Walnut Whip thingy..yeah that was how much extra it was gonna cost to fund the olympics, 38p apparently....

[Catherine.]

38p my arse.

I can see this being another Wembley Stadium.

[Andy B]

Not too fussed about that as I GOING on the 17th MAY!

I reckon the 2012 olympics will be ready by 2014...let's just hope they don't get the people who built the millennium tower in Portsmouth...it opened in 2005!

[sinister]

At least the Olympics might drag some more of the east end into the 21st Century.

[Catherine.]

Rofl. 5 years late is quite a feat.

[Andy B]

True. They do have a tendancy to shy away from streetlamps claiming it's witchcraft......

I think just knocking large chunks of it down would be an improvement.

[sinister]

BNP All the way

Way to go to get special branch to open a file on you too!

[Andy B]

Rofl. 5 years late is quite a feat.

They didn't even lay a single brick until 2003! Complete fiasco....I'm sure the Olympics will be much smoother though..even though they've already changed the plans for the main stadium.

[Catherine.]

I can't really understand how in this day and age a party like the BNP can still run for election. :S

[Andy B]

Because we live in a free society - I support anyone having the freedom to express their views even if I totally disagree with everything they say.

[Catherine.]

Because we live in a free society

True. Their values are completely misguided though. Immigration in some situations actually improves our economy, and different cultures mixing can only be a good thing in my opinion. I know people from all different cultures and countries, a chance I perhaps wouldn't have had if I didn't live in London. Each one of them has enriched my life.

Thats getting a bit heavy though, what is the general consensus on the lib dem candidate?

its still not finished now. The external lift, the 2 times I have been up it, still isnt working... and I swear it opened in 2006 in the end?

[Andy B]

True the outside life has never worked properly.....and it was definately 2005. Just after the busy summer period when it would have made the most money.

[superchris0110]

Just watched question time out of interest, my favourite quote from Boris "my children resemble a sort of un peace keeping force

[Andy B]

I like the "moral men" question.

[superchris0110]

Its a shame the Lib Dem candidate didnt accept the conservative offer

[Andy B]

Shhh. not watched the end of it yet..don't ruin it for me.

[superchris0110]

lol I havnt spoilt anything... if there was anything to spoil anyway. I only watched it on Iplayer because a) im bored and wanted some entertainment in the form of Boris as there is nothing decent on tv tonight hehe
