Isn't really a fact.
And:

Isn't really an induction. Ergo, no tragedy. And as we know, a week is a long time in politics. Any predictions made now are, er, suspect. One might almost think that some folk are hoping for a kind of magical wish-fulfillment.
Nice, but no dice, as yet. Methinks such shilling is a trifle premature, though a necessary part of the political process/debate. But I do find the framing of the debate (as was) rather disingenuous, and ingeniously so. So now comes the question: is premature (ahem) thingummy just down to men-folk on T_P? Or men in general? Or merely pundits in particular?

Date: 14/3/12 19:29 (UTC)What amused me is the timing of it all. Just a day after the T_P posting comes this poll.
I am reminded of Harold Macmillan's response to a rather silly question along the lines of "what are the greatest problems that statesmen face ?"..."Events, dear boy, events".

Date: 15/3/12 02:58 (UTC)what what what? How is that possible? You keep insisting we're a center-right country. Why would a poll of adults trend leftward?

Date: 15/3/12 01:29 (UTC)This does bring up a point, I have heard "frothy mixture" mentioned a couple of times, and have no idea what it means, since it sounds "dirty" before I make it a tag, I would have to research it, and I am the prude of the group :)
