Police beat up defenceless woman 12:19pm on 21 May 2008 Well Well

First the Teachers, now the Police!

Spectre of the 70s spring to mind.

What next 3 day week and our dead laying unburied.

I am not a Labour Party member and I can tell you that my family's finances are being squeezed. What I can't do is defect to the Tories. They got the "nasty party" tag for a reason and their ardent supporters on this blog embody the same spirit. The country is not going down the toilet and everything that has happened in the last 11 years is not the result of a golden legacy bequeathed by Ken Clarke. The Labour And Lib-Dem opinions (on the whole) just seem more balanced. Again I suspect there is a reason for this!

-------------------------------------------------

I am not a Labour Party member and Tory "nasty party” all in one breath. Yep Peter and pigs may fly!

Hate to rain on your parade Peter:

Iraq war
ID cards
EU membership withdrawal referendum.

To name but a few concrete differences. By any stretch of the imagination I doubt you could call it balanced.

And after all it was a LibDem who christened the Prime Minister Mr Bean! Again I suspect there is a reason for this!

I am not a NuLabour Party member either, but on the three issues above, in the absence of a Lisbon Treaty referendum, I may even vote LibDem at the next election.

Question for you Peter, If Ken Clarkes legacy was that bad. Why did NuLabour run with their budget for two years?

I have read a number of your other postings. You seem very keen on NuLabour, the cause of your woes, why not join them? They are really strapped for members, or is it liquidity - 20mil if I remember correctly!

I can't wait to see the back of this lot.
Lib Dems anyone?

Bryan. As a previous lifelong Labour supporter and activist I was really drawn to the LibDems when they opposed the illegal war in Iraq.

If the LibDems had carried through there initial response to the referendum on the Lisbon Treaty and not retreated I would have taken them as a serious alternative to NuLabour.

But hey I do not support any party, even though it may appear otherwise.

On the bright side I have voted LibDems locally for the last 3 years. They now have control of my local authority, and I must say they are doing so much better than previous NuLabour councillors who were in control for many years.

Another consolation, next year we have the EU elections. I cant wait to show my disgust for NuLabour at that time. Hey I may even vote LibDem!

I have had that problem over the last two days or so. Appears to be a glitche in the BBC servers for this blog site, it will pass.

#48 - no, but Labour did manage to get inflation up to 25% in the mid seventies (lest we forget).

I to remember those times well.

Ever heard of the winter of discontent - 3 day working, could not even bury our dead! - Yep surprise surprise - Labour

Also remember 25% inflation and 11% interest rates under - Yep surprise surprise - Labour.

People in Britain, recently voted for change - even in the valleys, Yes Wales, once a lifelong Labour stronghold. By the way is this not the place were NuLabours prospective candidate for Crewe and Nantwich got ousted by the Tories!
Negative campaigning 3:11pm on 20 May 2008 Welcome back Dutchy5. I came here from HYS.

I left after the moderators blocked a reasonable response to the top commended blog:

"My thoughts are with the pandas at Wolong Nature Reserve." - Topsy Turvy

10s of thousand people, men women and children killed by a natural disaster. And this was the top rant. I really did not have the stomach to continue on that blog!

IndigenousCabbage seems like a lifetime ago. Any way, once again, welcome back.
Negative campaigning 2:41pm on 20 May 2008 Dear Member,

It is an honour to have been chosen to lead the party at such an exciting time.

The Government have lost the nation's trust, and it is now up to us to earn that trust, and to show how our party can succeed in government.

Many people could be forgiven for thinking that the above could be penned by David Cameron when he took leadership of the Tory party. It was in fact Teflon Tony’s address to the NuLabour membership in 1994.

He also wrote, later in that document, Labour's strength is in its membership. At the turn of the new millennium I was one of those 50% that walked away from NuLabour. It is little wonder that NuLabour are virtually bankrupt.

Included in that address was the following diatribe:

In the coming year our campaigning concerns must include stepping up our fight against 17.5% VAT on fuel and the growing poverty among the low paid and the unemployed as well as highlighting a new agenda for fairness and greater equality;

Wonder if anyone can guess who penned the above. I will give you a clue!

70% Tax on fuel - does that help.

Yep - our good old friend Mr Bean. Think this really beggars belief!

Cue dhwilkinson.

Voters' choice 12:48pm on 20 May 2008 Earlier on, in a previous debate, I stated - Looks like the NuLabour dirty tricks brigade are out in force.

Well I must hold my hands up, I got it wrong. It should have read - Looks like the NuLabour Rent-A-Mob are out in force.

And what a desperate gang they look. If this is the best they can do, NuLabour really are doomed! It does look like the Party is coming to an end!

The legacy McBroon will most be remembered for - The man who presided over the break up of the Union.

Another point to note is that the Labour party is virtually bankrupt. In recent years we have seen them sell Millbank, that infamous NuLabour bunker, and have had to reschedule their loans so frequently their bank must be dizzy.

Do we really want a party that cannot even look after its own economy running GB?

Northern Rock - Ironic really. For 10 years NuLabour has been selling off council housing estates across Britain. To so called Private Social Landlords.

Now they have NATIONALISED a Building Society/Bank for the private property it owns. Says it all!

Just one question - When are they going to nationalise the NuLabour party so that the taxpayer can bale them out of their current malaise?

With regards Crewe and Nantwich I look forward to watching the news on Friday and the NuLabours spin-doctors responses to the beginning of their demise!
