Ross Kemp on voting Labour

"I’m sure you are a decent man" quoted by Bo Drinker
No he's not .Decent people don't go chasing foxes till they are so exhausted they collapse and get ripped apart by hungry dogs.They don't try and shoot 2 deer at the same time.
Just remember when you vote for him and his cronies you are voting back in blood sports.Blood shed in agony.
I think you should stop reading Enid Blyton.In case you hadn't already worked it out - the entire global financial system is predicated on the assumption that you're an idiot:cool:0 -
I agree with nearly all that is said against David Cameron, but I just don't see how anyone could possibly vote for New Labour. Well, unless you work in the public sector I suppose earning more than £100k, or possibly an illegal immigrant who doesn't want to be sent home. They have got to be the worst government in living memory.0

Cameron is untried and untested, as yet. The problem he has is that following the most disingenuous, spinning government ever how can anyone trust any politician with what they say?
The problem I have is that there are many who still believe Gordon Brown after 13 years of deceit, now how can that possibly be?0 -
It's not much of a choice. I have serious concerns about Cameron. But I cannot vote for Brown - he's proved himself inept, concerned with personally staying in power at any cost, and a liar (Chilcot).
Another thing that bothers me about Labour - the loss of Cabinet consensus. The 'team' are almost irrelevant, they are just 'backing singers'. Blair started it, Brown's continued it. It used to be a Labour government - now it's a Blair or Brown government.
I'd already made up my mind. Then I recall the Brown comment about two weeks ago comparing the economy to 'Rooney's injury' etc etc - I thought he really thinks the voters are brain-dead, celebrity obsessed cretins who can't think or see beyond the tabloid headlines. Maybe politicians all think we're stupid, but rubbing our noses in it ??0 -

Some people, as we can see here, support their party in the same tribal way a football fan supports their team.
Why do people support Labour, well self-interest certainly (especially the public sector mob), fear of the Tories, genuine belief in Labours policy program, a love for Gordon Brown (don't laugh). There are many reasons. I do not buy into any of them. Mind you I did not see how anyone could support the Tories in 97."There's no such thing as Macra. Macra do not exist."
"I could play all day in my Green Cathedral".
"The Centuries that divide me shall be undone."

Another thought.
All those going on about toffs and hunting. It's crap. You're buying in to Labour lies. The only card Brown has got to play is the class war .... it's sound bite politics. It's smoke and mirrors. Class war is history .... it's dead ...... if there's any war, it's the political elite who are so far removed from real life, voter's are completely alienated and disenfranchised. There's a wealth- war, a huge divide between the have's and have-not's. Nothing to do with class.
I couldn't care less if a politician comes from a castle or a council estate. As long as they are competent, forward-thinking, visionary, honest and tbh charasmatic.
The U.S. have Obama (who ticks all these boxes) and we have Brown or Cameron. No wonder people don't vote.0 -
Hi Guys,
There are often complaints that people don't know what the Tory party stand for. To their credit the have a fairly detailed policy list on their website.

Like them, vote for them. Don't like them vote for someone else. Don't swallow the line that they have no policies though.
Cheers,

Meedja luvvie voting Labour is hardly news is it? Especially when Kemp has lined his pockets making feeble 'documentaries' about the troops in Clown's illegal wars - why would he want to stop that gravy train (for him!)0

He was against electoral reform he is now for it, simply to save his skin.
He was against any alliance with the Lib Dems in 97 he is now for it, even tacitly telling Labour voters to vote Lib Dem (tough Brown, the vote has been well and truly squeezed in most of them).
Brown kept the housing market going at full pelt even when Blair raised concerns about it.
He ran a large deficit of over £30 billion a year even in the good years.
The next government will borrow as much as every British government from the norman conquest to date.
He inherited a stable and growing economy and blew it.
He is the most shallow and venal of people, it is not about a persons background, it is about their competence and suitability for the role. In a straight comparison between Cameron and Brown then Dave is miles ahead.
and all your views here just goto prove why people such as yourself should not get a vote in the first place.
It is only the very stupid and/or the very Tory that can blame GB for the economy over the last 18months.
It was a GLOBAL catastrophe....not just a UK one.0
