Why Labour lost
Comments

ahhh yes, how typical... as far as i know Blair isn't breaking any rules in what he is doing now...They certainly served themselves pretty well. Bliar, alone, is setting some sort of record for services to the gravy train.
but it's a good point that you make A.Beaver because i read this morning:David Cameron has said the Government's vast spending cuts will see the public lose "some things that we genuinely value" amid reports free milk for under-fives could be scrapped.
i'm sure that this is all ok and acceptable for the right wing bots out thereHealth minister Anne Milton admitted the move - which would echo Margaret Thatcher's removal of free school milk - would be "highly controversial" and affect children in low income families.0 -
A bit cloud cuckooish that, election tomorrow and it would be a Labour win, in 12 months it will be a Labour landslide, LibDems stripped down to one or two seats in Cornwall and the Scottish Isles (if they are lucky).
You actually believe this.:eek:

Oh, look, it's the self-appointed milk monitor!
As you're so fond of the search facility, perhaps you'd like to use it to find where I said he was 'breaking any rules'?
What I pointed out was that he's pigging at the trough - which is rather hypocritical for a self-styled 'socialist' and leader of 'the people's party.0 -
You are wrong.
Politics is about self serving. Don't see much of that in Labour.
You missed a word out, I have corrected it for you
'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0 -

Tell you what, let us wait and see
I think someone made a similar point when I suggested that house prices may bottom in the spring of 2009 at around 20% down, in fact it might have been you 'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

You are joking, right?'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0 -
I did say 'self-styled'. Or are you having reading problems, too?
Nope I don't think there was even any pretensions there.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

And here we have the curse of populism striking again. Cameron has in fact vetoed the end of free milk for the under 5s - a hangover from rickets post war - not because free milk is needed or rickets is on the rise again, but because he knows that he'll be branded a "milk snatcher" by the Labour party, just as Thatcher was, and that'll stick. So we're wasting money giving milk to children who mostly have it anyway, and of which a historically high percentage are clinically obese, because and only because of mindless populism. Nice one, Labour party.
Heard from friends that at Brighton Pride yesterday the Labour party were handing out "Never Kissed a Tory" placards. Pride is supposed to be removing marginalisation, it's scandalous they were politicising it. But not surprising.0
