Yes, that 100 metre walk to a FREE bus or train must have been really arduous for them.

No anger, all written with emotional detatchment, my added detail about age was simply to add context,... its not a competition thing..... ok now?.... but calling me 'son' will get you the back of my hand,...... so belay that if you will.

Wrong,.....I am 51 years old, so I have seen a few local and general elections... hardly naieve. You can believe what you want, I dont give a rats ass to be honest, but I vote according to the policies and conditions of the time. It just so happens that I am currently edging towards the blue...

Taking the 13 years as a whole, particularly their borrowing and spending policies, coupled with the lack of control in the banking sector....well done Mr Brown...... I think reckless is the least extreme of the labels they are justified in carrying......its a simple set of examples I know, but...

Really,.... how very clever you must be to come to that re-write of my personal history,.... I just stand up and castigate idiocy in all forms, from any source, red, blue or yellow,..... I actually analyse before leaping in, I dont for example vote for a party simply because my father did, or...

So who the bloody hell is going to vote for Labour next year then, after the 13 years of recklessness we went through last time?.........

Yes they will,...... probably without the LDems.

But not forgetting the consequences are far broader and more widely appreciated by the citizens of this world we live in, in and out of government...... it won't escalate to military action, the technology would render it a goalless draw for all concerned.......economics is another thing...

You do know why the population of Crimea is 60% ethnic Russian and Russian speakers dont you? .......... after the 2nd world war, the Soviets banished all the ethnic Tartars to central Asia as a punshment, they also exiled all the ethnic Greek and Armenians who made up most of the rest of the...

To a degree, but there are plenty of colonisations that were simply created through economic greed by both sides, not always at the point of a barrel.

1) SE ASia, the Sub Continent and now Brazil are brimming with manufacturing capability,..... prices may flex, but at the end of the day, we can cut back on our spending, China, and Russia NEED the income, if we dont spend, they dont earn..... simple economics. 2) Oil and Gas can be bought from...

War

I have no idea what you are trying to say here,..... who/what/why/when?....... what is the relevance to this point we are debating?

Nope, the West has a number of places it can buy from,.... Russia will struggle to find a new market to sell that much oil and gas, at those inflated european prices,.....Africa and SE Asia isnt going to pick up the slack, is it? With China of course, we have many other places across the globe...

This is hilarious, and really illustrates how ill informed people can be perceived. Both those nations, those paragons of virtue, fair play and human rights, exist in their current economic state, solely because they export to the west. We are their market, their lifeblood and without our custom...

Relax,.....Russia needs to sell its gas and oil, the EU is its biggest customer,.... they wont jeopardize that for the sake of a few more gas fields that just happen to be in north eastern Ukraine,.....

I cant think of the last actual colonisation by the European powers as was..... obviously I dont count the incidents that surrounded the 2nd world war.

Ukraine was also looking for closer ties with the EU. There are in fact a number of different levels of 'deals' that the EU offer to non-EU states. One of which is a 1st level trading and cultural arrangement, which gives some entry level freedom for trade in both directions without the normal...

Carefully ignoring Russian colonial history right through the 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th century of course. Key differences are that the rest of the European powers colonised the new world whereas Russia expanded East and South....and is continuing to do so......you need to support your own...

Fook off you patronising piece of dour.... dimwittedness, try reading something other than the Anarchists Handbook.....get a bit broader in your analysis of events..it may just help you achieve a balanced opinion. Try not to quote my comments after you have edited them to suit your party line...
