The LibLabCon.

I have seen it suggested in print that the term LibLabCon was actually first used to describe the coalition politics of World War Two.
(Whatever. Shrug.)
Whether the term has only just been coined or does have some history is of little consequence.
Never has it been more appropriate than now. Some people are clearly getting exited that there is the strong possibility of a change of government in the offing. Quite frankly - I just do not care a single jot. Largely the same policies - different faces implementing them.
30 years ago the politically ill-informed would make remarks such as "Ah well. They're all the same, you know" thus demonstrating a massive degree of political ignorance.

If the same person is expressing that opinion today, they may now be classed as 'insightful'.

I used to travel on this noxious airline. I'll pay a lot more to avoid them like the plague!

Ryanair forced me to a pay a £50 baggage fee for a ridiculous reason - I thought they were joking. Have YOU been forced to pay an extra fee?...
