Alistair Darling : voters "****ed off" with Labour's handling of the economy

Refreshingly honest, yes, but should the Chancellor of the Exchequer really be using such language?

What? are you a jehovas witness or something? Personally i think it is great that someone in authority has finally realised the strength of the feeling of the nation and to be honest i think this is quite mild compared to peoples true feelings!

That was my first reaction : at last, a politician that speaks the language of the people!

But then I thought : hang on - there is already too much swearing in our 'culture'. People like him should set an example. So I changed my mind...

This ****ed off could be either the P word or the F word, if it is the P word then fair do's if it is the F word then maybe it is a bit strong but fair play al last someone has worked it out that we are ****ed off with them big style!
But way too late to do anything about it bye bye Labour!

it's the p word. Honestly,looking at Alistar Darling do you think the F word has ever passed his lips? Maybe a couple of 'by joves' or even a 'oh heck' but none of these plebs are on the same page as the rest of us,are they??

An over-zealous mod has changed the title of the orginal thread, changing the orginal (censored) 'P' word, to 'angry' so that it is now out of context

Is that you Kirst? ;-)

Sorry, I stand corrected. This is a family forum, there should be no hint of swearing, next time I'll post such a thread in the over 18's section. Keep up the good work mods!

Unless i am very much mistaken i am 99% sure that the said Mr Darling is a (wash my mouth out with soap and water)
Burnley fan!
I am 110% sure that if i am right and he is a Burnley fan then he will be more than familiar with the said "F WORD" and will have probably used it more times than Bernard Manning (RIP) and Chubby Brown have used it put together!

By the way i hope you know i run the risk of feeling the full wrath of KGBKAZ posting this post!

Addition..............
Oops i got my Alistairs mixed up i almost feel silly now the one i was thinking of was Alastair Campbell, but if the other one has ever watched a Burnley match with Alastair Campbell then he would definately know the F word!
