    I reckon that this summer will be one of civil unrest and city riots like we had back in the 1980s. There is SO MUCH that is utterly wrong about Britain today from fat-cat bankers, crushing taxation, feather-bedding the underclass to useless, lazy bizzies and corrupt politicians that a few cities ablaze would be the wake-up call that is long overdue.

    God some people are so gullible..

    So did you hear the speech, what did you agree with and what did you dislike about it ?

    As we saw in 1997. The coalition of the electorate that saw Labour take power has well and truly fragmented. If you look at the seats that were traditionally Tory and rarely, if ever, Labour that went to Labour. I am thinking Chester, Worcester, Welwyn Hatfield etc etc then the swing to them in the locals is far greater than nationally. These were the bedrock of Labour in 1997 and 2001 and to a lesser degree in 2005. Your gormless posts cannot alter that. How about you saying WHY people are so gullible instead ?

    What a crock.

    Your ignorant post was not THAT bad.


    Good luck under him, you'll need it unless you're in the top 5% of earners.

    Apart from regurgitated Labour spin any proof of your inane ramblings ?

    For christ sake be quiet, party politics is sickening.

    Anyone who thinks any political party wants to look after them is gullible.

    If you don't like it then go away and find another thread.
