		<description><![CDATA[What the West needs is a less grand standing on human rights and more disciplined rules on engagement with undemocratic regimes. Democracy should be understood as a great prize. Experience in democratic countries has shown that it is a prize which is difficult to achieve and requires constant vigilance to maintain. It is not something that we can order a nation to introduce overnight. It needs time to grow and mature.

So we should not go around the world condemning every regime which does not measure up to Western standards of democracy.  We should, however, encourage democracy and prefer democratic regimes over authoritarian regimes.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingbollocks.net&#038;blog=2000120&#038;post=3770&#038;subd=talkingbollocks&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dropping your T's has long been a feature of working class accents in England but it took a real nob head like Tony Blair to attempt an accent by picking just this one feature. Consequently Mr. Blair became the only man on Earth to speak in a middle class English access with a glottal stop instead of a T. The effect was risible and made worse by inconsistency. Presumably he only put it on when appealing to the masses.

In opposition Labour look set for a rerun of the old power battle between Blair and Brown but this time staring the Brothers Milliband. As each brother struggles to differentiate himself I find one interesting commonality: They both have that weird middle class accent with the inconsistent glotal stop - Just like Mr. Blair.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingbollocks.net&#038;blog=2000120&#038;post=3000&#038;subd=talkingbollocks&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The American pastor should be condemned of course but in the same breath we should condemn every little bastard shouting his mouth of in a street protest while burning an American flag. I was told by a Pakistani friend that the shouting mobs who burn American flags are often hired by richer more intelligent people so it would be useful to expose these people to give the lie to idea that the flag burning is an can be blamed on lack of education.

It would also help if prominent statesman in Muslim countries were as strenuous in condemning insults to Americans as Obama has been in defending Muslims.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingbollocks.net&#038;blog=2000120&#038;post=2918&#038;subd=talkingbollocks&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don't know too much about Andy Burnham but he seems equally distanced from Blair and Brown and relativity untarnished by the New Labour experiment. Perhaps he could be a good leader. Not that I'd vote Labour for a few terms yet. Labour really need to stop adjusting their policies in order to garner votes and figure out what they stand.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingbollocks.net&#038;blog=2000120&#038;post=2876&#038;subd=talkingbollocks&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

If it doesn't then, once the Tories have fallen out of favour, we will be faced with another Labour government  wastin ti's time on spin rather than achieving objectives. In the words of Monty Python's Spanish Inquisition the Labour party need to “Confess the heinous sin of heresy”and “reject the works of the ungodly”.  ie admit that they screwed up and chuck out the likes of Balls.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingbollocks.net&#038;blog=2000120&#038;post=2712&#038;subd=talkingbollocks&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The TV is burbling about how the ex-Treasury Secretary, Labour's Liam Byrne, left a note for his sucessor which said: 
'Dear chief secretary, I'm afraid to tell you there's no money left.". Apparently this is in contrast to the previous Tory leader, John Major, who left a note for the incoming Prime Minister, Tony Blair, along with a bottle of champagne.

Champagne to bankruptcy. That about sum up the past 13 years!

		<description><![CDATA[Probably Labour are out of power for a few years yet so the question is: Are the golden days of railing against hypocrisy and incompetence over? Will the Tory/Lib Dem coalition deliver fair and efficient government? Should I be searching for a new domain name. Talking Sense perhaps?

		<description><![CDATA[Supported of Labour in the United Kingdom appear incensed that they are no longer the party of government and are condemning the Liberal Democrats for forming a coalition with the Conservatives. Words such as despicable, treachery and deceit have been used.

Labour suffered a massive drop in support and polled far fewer votes than the Conservatives. The Labour party, Gordon Brown and the rag tag bunch of nobodies that formed the last cabinet are widely disliked throughout the country yet they now behave as if they have been cheated of power.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingbollocks.net&#038;blog=2000120&#038;post=2440&#038;subd=talkingbollocks&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
