Ok, we're in the majority (39%??) but by the nature of our manifesto ("don't vote....it only encourages them") we're totally disinterested in "having our voices heard" (because no-one pays the slightest attention anyway, and what would they do even if they did)?

However, so many of us were wondering the same thing that I thought it might be worth asking you toryboys:

What does that other bloke do?

We know that the Old Etoryboy who replaced the New Toryboy Gruffalump is the new Aunt Sally but what does the one that wanders about with him do? Yes, yes, we know he's called the "Deputy Prime Minister", and that he's a sort of Old Etoryboy-with-soda, but what does he DO ? We think he doesn't do anything (which doesn't bother us as we don't think ANY of them really do anything) but what do YOU think he does?

Ps: We're glad The Gruffalump's gone. At least the replacements don't do anything, which is better than doing silly expensive things like The Gruffalump.

(pps: be STRIDENT. Strident's funny.)

I am unable to comprehend what you've posted, I blame Labour for meddling with the education system from 1997 to (at least) 2008.

What are you saying? That you weren't properly educated and you blame this for your incomprehension? Or are you replying to a different post? And, by the way, it should be a fullstop or semi-colon (I know, I know "what's a semi-colon"?) after the word "posted".

I believe that some of the PH folks have set up a group on Facebook for the politically inept. Maybe you should have a look.

I better idea however, would be to educate yourself on the use of the English language because what you have written is illegible.

"illegible"????? It's TYPE, for goodness sake. 'illegible' and 'incomprehensible' aren't synonymic. Stay behind for extra tutorial!

Indeed. It is hard for us who no longer communicate in their mother tongue, on a day to day basis, to fully remember the correct words on occasion. Glad to see that this was the first post of yours to make any sense whatsoever though.

So NO-ONE (so far) actually knows what the other guy does.

Might have known.

He doesn't do ANYTHING does he?

Groak, I'll grace you with a reasoned response if you'd be so good as to explain exactly what it is you're blathering on about.

Is this a digression, an answer, or an irrelevance?

Now....what DOES that other bloke do?

Whichever, it's ironic that it's inspired by a diatribe on "education in English usage, isn't it?

Well The Gruffalump generally wandered ALONE. Now we have TWO to replace it. One's a nervous looking Gruffalump substitute, and whilst what HE does (in a functional sense) may be up for question, at least it's CLEARER than what the OTHER one we seem to have acquired does, because the OTHER one doesn't appear to have ANY function other than ...well....COMPANY for the nervous one. I bet he gets 100 large a year for it too. But maybe I'm being cynical, and he DOES have a serious job. Does he? If so...WHAT?
