Housing crisis. Number 10 apologises over tory slur e-mail

baby_boomer

Housing crisis, what housing crisis?

We were reassured at the Labour Conference in September 2008 that

"Sceptics ask me to scrap our target of 240,000 new homes a year

They want us to admit defeat.

We won't give up that easily.

Labour will build the homes Britain needs.

This Government has the right people;

Taking the right decisions

At the right time.

After pie in the sky rhetoric like that, it's not hard to see why Caroline Flint has long "moved on" from the Housing Ministry portfolio so that she never has to answer questions about her illusions :rotfl:

No 10 official quits over e-mails



One of Gordon Brown's senior officials has resigned after sending e-mails which reportedly discussed smearing senior Conservatives.

Damian McBride, the prime minister's former political press officer, had apologised after the messages found their way to a Westminster blogger.

Well, I wasn't expecting that. That's good to see.

One of Gordon Brown's closest lieutenants has been forced to resign over emails he sent making lurid allegations about David Cameron.

What a lovely pair they make! You couldn't find anyone more steeped in lies, scheming, plotting and putting himself first, last and always. Don't know about McBride though!

Yes - I can either vote for my side's lying shysters or the other side's lying shysters. I can't choose a government of anyone else - so what are you suggesting I do?

I got to admire you Roch in a funny kinda way, I can imagine you in the 'crow's nest' on the Titanic, just as the the ship snaps in half shouting 'it's ok we aren't goin' down'.

I still stand by my statement that you can't polish a turd, but you sir...... certainly give it a damn good try.:D

Actually, from what I've read - he supports the labour party policies but condemns behaviour that he feels is immoral such as the excessive expense claims.

People like him are far more likely to effect some kind of change within the political system compared to those who just see political mileage and put forth the tory good - labour bad arguments.

I still think he should vote libdem though

Come on then Sou, why should i vote libdem? apart from obvious reasons like the party having Charles Kennedy, who seems to be a thoroughly decent & likeable guy- I can't imagine him fiddling his expenses somehow.
