Why Labour lost

chopperharris

Labour lost because the people never warmed to brown , bordering on anti scots sentiment if one looks back through the forum over the previous year with some posts.

Clarkson from top gear as usual was the epitome of the nations middling classes feelings calling him a one eyed scots eejit , and at every opportunity the words scots and brown seemd like mince and tatties just about everywhere from media to internet forums...you never see cameron being called an english idiot do you , idiot maybe but never the word english before it.

Bear this in mind when you think of darling teflon tony , whom brown replaced , you remember him dont you his clones are in his old job now plotting each others political demise.Technically he could be called scots , what with being born there , but you never see scots mentioned when referring to him unlike brown.

Labour lost its way when it stopped being the workers party , when folk that actually toiled and still had dirt under their nails were all replaced by privatey educated , second rate tories ,neatly disguised as nulabour.Even brown himself , one could never say he was a true labour man , if anything more along the lines of the original scots liberal party given his church background but never a labour man .


imo there is not one labour shadow cabinet member that is fit to clean the workboots of the late jim reid ... a man whom should have been leading the labour party of the 80s.Those that have lost their way in scotland rather than voting labour blindly forever would do better to vote snp , they are closer to the original ideas of labour now than labour are or have been for avery long time.

It is not anti Scot then it is anti Brown, bearing in mind Darling was also a Scot and in general was liked by the public and the press.

Some say the best pm the country never had , and if alex salmold wasnt so much of a smug git the two would be the same...but he's too busy getting one up on labour and tory to play the game , he's like colin hendry to gary linneker if one uses the footy comaprison....both good to have on your side , but one not so against you.

Theres many a post and paper that called them both scots , I seem to personally mind a post of if it walks like a duck when I argued the point he technically wasnt scots having been born in england.The press liked him so much the called them laurel and hardy , tweedle dum and tweedle dafter etc.

if they are clones then is it not just [EMAIL="m@sterbation"]m@sterbation[/EMAIL]?

But if they are twins merely split from the same egg then we are on another deviancy altogether and that gives the loving act of two men together a bad name....and going by todays pics clegg has let himself go over the last couple of weeks , but i hear chubby teddy bears is the new buff.

In my opinion the bbc are bit by bit falling on line with their new conservative masters

That would explain the stream of 'millions will die in screaming agony due to coalition cuts' headlines that the BBC is running, would it?
