Shameless labour

You have successfully epitomised the reason why the Tories are referred to as "The Nasty Party." You have no compassion for your fellow man and don't give a fig of for those who are less fortunate than yourself.
Sed ibi gratia Dei es mei
What on earth is wrong with you?
You sound more like an extreme socialist than a labour supporter.
Can you please explain, rather than simply going off on tangents, how it's nasty, and you have no compassion if you believe people have a right to shelter, but not a right to own it if they can't afford it?
I can honestly not see how that can be construed as nasty, or having no compassion, or not giving a fig for your fellow man, yet you seem to be well off on tangents trying to make it out to be....so I'd love to know your reasoning.0 -
In response to
Didn't see any exclusion clauses.
That's why I used the word context in my post.
You stripped what the poster said of every shred of context, and used an absolute extreme. One very heart wrenching extreme which has absolutely naff all to do with what was posted, to try and gain the moral high ground.
It was quite clear he was referring to staying in a house which the person cannot afford, and actually owning said house without actually having paid for it.
If these kinds of responses are the general labour supporters real thoughts, and real arguments, then I'm glad I;m not associated. It's pure denial and really quite worrying extremes....with the ability to actually discussed thrown right out of the window. Try to be rational and you get accused of all sorts on yoru character.
The very fact that you said "didnt see any exclusion clauses" suggests anything anyone says that's not in line with the labour line, you will simply tear to pieces and completely rip any context to make your point. I also found that wording, rather depressing.
How many clauses should I be adding to the bottom of this post, if I don't wish for that sort of response you furnished the last poster with?0 -
What are you going on about?'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

He is saying your post was in execrable taste. He's right.
Why use a word like bad when execrable will do, it may shock you but I don't agree.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

Ah. . . so it's a message from the Tories that communicated doom and gloom sufficient to instill fear into the electorate?
Well their scaremongering was obviously bad enough that they couldn't manage an overall majority in what should have been a landslide with Gordon Browns unpopularity.0 -
I suppose I should be shocked that you think they're interchangeable. But I'm not.

Can you quote any of the other dozen or so messages left for the incoming administration by the outgoing?
Or do you think that this is the only comment ever left by Chief Secretary for Chief Secretary?
Er: the poster referred to a specific 'message' at a specific period of time, i.e., the doom and gloom communicated by the Tories after the May election. My response related to another specific message of doom and gloom communicated by Labour at the same specific period of time.
People who are uncomfortable with facts have been known to try to finesse 'em to such an extent that an original point gets conveniently buried beneath extra verbiage.
But I can't think why you'd want to attempt that here.0 -

Then again, it could have been a joke
