    I think you'll find the number of legislative changes they are "ramming through" is tiny in comparison with the number labour rammed up our backsides.

    Little detail: Labour had a majority.

    And let's prosecute Phil Woolas because of some misleading campaign leaflets while the whole libdem manifesto is a lie back to front :rotfl: you couldn't make it up!

    You serious?

    He was found guilty of using knowingly misleading statements about another party member, suggesting the party member has links to islamic extremism, and his suggesting that he could only win by "making white people angry".

    Hardly on par with campaign leaflets, which are completely over egged by all parties.

    i think you live in cuckoo land if you think the average family has £6oo per week to spend on luxuries, after paying for food, rent,energy etc.

    2 adults in reasonable jobs plus 2 kids getting £120 month CB its perfectly believable that they would spend £600 on vat rated goods(not all vat rated goods are "luxuries")
  • All of labours legislative programme was carried out over 13 years not 18 months to 2 years some difference in pace and this is why some things the government is doing are too rushed and will cause problems later.
    I wish they would take the time to at least plan and carry out things in a considered and properly debated manner.

    scrapping £4billion worth of nimrods is a great example,total waste of money and leaves our airspace almost undefended

    so you reckon the average family has £600 left to spend every week after they have paid rent/mortgage council tax, food, gas/electric? If they did then this country wouldnt be in the mess its in now
    Be Alert..........Britain needs lerts.
