Analogy

Oh It's a silly boy I am then is it.

I have no problem at all. It is the irrefutable fact that if that is the sort of comment that can be brought to bear on me then I must be hitting some sort of cord.

Why do you seriously think that all we hear about from the Ministry of Defence is about the bravery of our soldiers, and how the reception for them is great when they return. That the Prime Minister always reads out the names of the dead so as to to put the Commons into a sombre mood.

Don't you know when you are being manipulated? At what point will he not read out the names, what would he have done if it had the battle of the Somme, read out 20,000 names? When did this convention of reading out names actually start, what is the point. That is wrong with Glenrothes, the real battles are being ignored.

It is the Scots who have borne terrible losses in our wars, and for what. We know we will be talking to the Taliban, that we will give them millions in aid, and that we don't really care who governs, as long as we don't have the pictures similar to those when America left Vietnam with helicopters leaving at the last moment. That is what is wrong with Gordon Brown electioneering in Scotland. He must not be allowed to set the agenda.

May I suggest that even though the BBC look out for off topic comments, are we allowed to use the analogy argument. Bit like irony though, most people don't
