They couldn't find something that they already knew wasn't there. How many people had to die and be maimed by Blair and Bush's lies.

Click on the election 2005 labour victory link on this site.

Eh?

Dont know what you're reading. In 2005 labour got 35.3% of the votes vs Tories with 32.3%. In 2010 the Tories got 36.1% of the votes vs labour with 29.0%.

I consider it a public duty to remind readers that the man is an unprincipled scoundrel who should be in the dock, not trousering £1 million an hour from corrupt Arab despots.

It's a particularly enjoyable duty when it gets up the noses of the legion of 'New Labour's' braindead zombie supporters.

That is no reason to speak like a seven year old.

Yes, this government is pretty poor. But it you really are 53, as you claim, then you will have seen some pretty poor governments of both flavours (Heath's, Major's, Callaghan's and Wilson's to name just four) and this one is no worse than they were.

I don't think Major's was that bad - the handling of the economy (after Black Wednesday) was fine given the circumstances.

However the refusal to intervene in the Balkans (and running interference for anyone else) until it was too late is the big black mark here IMO.

The worrying thing is that the vast majority of those inclined to vote Labour are part of the infamous client state :-

Public sector employees with half a day's work for a day's pay and a sense of entitlement

Those living on benefits who want to stay that way

Those from the peripheral regions of the kingdom who would rather nurse the perennial class-based chip on their shoulder about the alleged privileged south of England than aspire to be the same

Those too dim or self-indulgent to recognise the realities of life who are seduced by the notion that 'from each according to his abilities to each according to his needs' is a viable system of managing social and economic affairs

Shallow poseurs (often wealthy) who believe that to demonstrate left-leaning tendencies makes them 'cool'

The numbers in these groups appears to be growing, as evidenced by the 2010 election result and the current opinion polls. None of these groups is likely to advance the overall welfare of the country in any meaningful way and yet their influence is ever-growing, and under Labour governments they effectively call the shots.

Yes, of course the government's strategy is to 'strangle the economy' and 'create poverty'

Their alien masters from the planet Tralfamadore have given them this instruction so as to make sure earth is properly subdued for when their fleets of saucers land.

A crazy theory?

Try re-reading what you wrote.

I'm quite comfortable with what I have written. You on the otherhand need to calm down.:rotfl:

I think the really worrying thing is that some of these people think its in their best interests to vote Tory.

I doubt if there's many in those groups who think that, any more than there are many in the groups who believe in self-responsibility, welfare as a safety-net, maintenance of the rule of law, and elimination of social engineering who would see it in their best interests to vote Labour (or for the silly, irrelevant little Liberal Democrat Party)

I make it a rule never to take advice from people who post idiocy and, even 24 hours later, aren't smart enough to realise what they have done.

And then there are the types who think 'smilies' are still funny...Or even worse, a form of punctuation..
