we, unlike the bourgeoisie, have nothing to lose and therefore our expression will be the only honest one, our words will be the only challenging ones and our art will be the one revolutionary expression. We need new noise and new voices and new canvases to become something more than the last poets of a useless generation.

It's crazy! Whatever happened to them? They used to make promises without knowing how they were going to carry it out or knowing full well that they couldn't keep it.. now they're being.. realistic..

Some called me crazy as well. Still wore that wedding dress. Was unnervingly comfy. Unlike the Labour party~

He came to my college for a 3-way debate between him, Dan Norris and whoever the Lib Dem woman was.

He looks more like a paedophilic stick insect in person than he does in photos.

I know where Frome is mate :) and I'll thank you kindly not to call Keynsham part of Bristol :evil:

I was hopefully suggesting that Keynsham might be considered better than Frome. As you've never been here (technically there atm, oh university) then I can tell you it is in no way better than Frome from except for the football, rugby and cricket teams.

Welp, the stupid cunts in our local labour party are continuing with their stupid cuntish guided busway that no body wants that will cost the council (I.E. the towns people) 500k a month to maintain (despite constant shit about how it will pay for itself which has been proved false.)

They recently knocked down an old bridge and replaced it with a new one which miraculously caused minimal traffic problems considering the way the cunts in the council's have completely fucked the roads round here.

Although one thing no body seems to want to answer is this:

About 85% of the guided busway is being built on old train tracks used as part of an old quarry. At great cost the Labour cunts have removed them and are now replacing them with guided busway stuff. Why not just put a small train instead? It isn't too important though since even that is a stupid suggestion because NO ONE FUCKING WANTS THE GUIDED BUSWAY!

I live for the day when Hazel Simmons is dragged into St George's square and shot.

I've seen a map of it. Its going along a route THAT IS ALREADY PERFECTLY SERVICED BY TWO BUS COMPANIES!

They're basically trams, but they've got some benefits over the fact that they can climb hills better because they have tyres rather than smooth metal wheels running on smooth metal tracks.

It's not that a retarded idea.

Only if its being implemented somewhere that needs it. However, its not needed here...

Yeah, dunno where the fuck I pulled that from. I think its more likely 500k a year. Either way, I am 100% sure that the buslane will require council funding to keep it up rather than the 'pay for itself' crap trotted out.

This is what they said about Concord.

They were wrong.

This is what they said about Eurostar.

They were wrong.

This is what they said when trams were introduced to (I think) Manchester.

They were wrong.

Well, the French apparently never ran Concorde at a profit.
