Refreshingly honest , maybe, but should politicians really use such language?

Discuss.

Pissed off? Sorry Alastair, we are WAY past pissed off, and to answer the question, an MP like Darling using "street" terms like "pissed off" to make him look like he's "in touch" with the electorate just makes him look unprofessional and desperate. Personally, I think he's a wanker

My first reaction was : at last, a politician that uses the language of the people!

But upon reflection, bad move. People like him should set an example, language-wise.

Indeed. Everything went belly up since he became PM, but more of a global thing, bad timing. 110% mortgages? Bad idea...

Back to basics...
