Looking for political catch phrases that boil blood.

Mine’s:

“Let me be absolutely clear about this… (guff and misdirection ensues)…”

“If you’ll let me answer…” waffle waffle waffle ignore the question

Learn to spell/get your words right mate!

I did like “this is no time for soundbites…but I feel the hand of history is upon us”

Blair must be responsible for 50%+

“The real issue here”

……….answering a question that hasn’t been asked

i assumed it was right and was a pun – i.e. words that grate.

Learn to spell/get your words right mate!

Attempted pun (apologies): grate words = words that grate, not great words… etc

Pretty pants I know.

I like pretty pants.

education, education, education!

As Catherine Tate’s Nanana would say ‘what a load of Sh*te’

“no more boom and bust”

When it was clear to just about everyone else that the nation and world was in the middle of a credit and property boom/bubble.

john reid; on radio4 about 4years ago;

(remember, this is radio4*)

“i’ll put it simply so the listeners can understand”

what an almight ****ing ****-faced ****ing ****.

****.

and now he’s a lord.

****ing hell.

(*i’d like to think, but i don’t know, if radio4 listeners are more intelligent than your average radio listener, but your average turd is more intelligent than john reid)

oh, and;

“we’re all in this together … tax breaks for the rich anyone?”

Any attempt to blame the current situation on previous Govts:

“We inherited a broken society”
“The (insert current political football) is in such a mess because of Tory/Labour failures in the previous four years”

Don’t give me that sh*t: after 6+ months in power any Govt should be able to at least make a start on fixing the problems. Any reason to use this excuse after the 6 month honeymoon period is rubbish.

I hate this one, too.

“what the people of Britain are telling me is…”

Suggesting that the politician has moulded his stance as a result of a thorough public survey, which you know hasn’t happened…

Drives me mental.

Actual great words:

Brilliant delivery from someone who is best known as a silent movie star!

Anything Thatcher ever said?

Anything Thatcher ever said?

1 – there is no such thing as community

2 – need to end dependency culture

the break down of the first (by the government from the late 40’s on) led to the second – you can’t have it both ways!

“We”

Don’t associate yourself with me you slimey eel faced ****, we’re not the same.

come up with as many as you like here

My favourite is from the utterly corrupt **** Johnathan Aitken

If it falls to me to start a fight to cut out the cancer of bent and twisted journalism in our country with the simple sword of truth and the trusty shield of British fair play, so be it. I am ready for the fight. The fight against falsehood and those who peddle it. My fight begins today. Thank you and good afternoon.

Well… that went well. Oops… you’ve dropped the soap 😉

Question Time should be like the electric shock scene from Ghostbusters. Then, after around 20 minutes of ‘sorry, wrong answer – BUZZZ!’ we may get somewhere near honesty. I put myself forward to be Bill Murray.
