Ed Miliband is the leader of the oppostion, or is he? Perhaps he is a cheap robot. Watch this video and judge for yourselves :

You're in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it's crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't, not without your help. But you're not helping. Why is that?

Perhaps he belongs to the same political school as this former US political candidate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HER2pGdAak

Someone explain to me how that test was supposed to work.

:lol: Is that par for the course for Miliband? If that is the best labour can do they should bring back blair or brown.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

That's not it, nor can humans fail the Turing test. Everyone is just joking around with cultural reference.

Replicants didn't have the same emotional responses as humans (I think it was because they lacked glandular responses or something like that, if I remember the commentary on the DVD correctly), especially when comparing humans and animals in peril.  Something along those lines.
