All his posts were sharp and sneering in tone, and not the way we are used to on MR, and he took over. Suddenly, he was posting and posting and posting.<br /><br />I’m sure he put the gentle souls who post here right off their stride... so as Munguin said, he gently suggested that Braveheart might like to go elsewhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-50566631527002908252011-03-14T21:50:25.069+00:002011-03-14T21:50:25.069+00:00Yes Allan; they were both very hungry for power, a...Yes Allan; they were both very hungry for power, and I don't think there's much they wouldn't have done to get it. But the new Labour MP from Barnsley was congratulated by Tory back benchers for beating the Liberal into 6th place (although I fear it was less the new member than his party leader that did that). So I think it is only the party leaders and those close to them that are fond of this arrangement.<br /><br />I didn't watch PMQs.

Looking back I think the Libs would had been better to agree to vote with the Tories on an issue by issue basis. I think Cameron would had done anything to get into power and Clegg wanted the same.<br /><br />Did you watch PMQ's?

Generally his MO seems to be a great long diatribe using unsubstantiated invective and when requested for a steer in the right direction (i.e. a link to someone else who was saying these things not just him) he was unable to oblige. It was, therefore, necessary to inform him that we would not be simply accepting his word for it and if he was unable or unwilling to supply substantiation we would not be continuing to discuss it. Latterly he attempted to upbraid me on my comments policy and give not so helpful suggestions on who should be allowed to comment and who should not. I pointed out that if he was unhappy with the situation as it was he was at liberty not to read this blog or comment on it.
