Yes.
But only marginally more than I despise Labour."There may be a legal obligation to obey, but there will be no moral obligation to obey. When it comes to history, it will be the people who broke the law for freedom that will be remembered and honoured." --Rt. Hon. Tony Benn0 -
Vile self centered cowards all of them.
Which is more cowardly?;
1) Showering the over entitled voters with money (when they have a £1 trillion black hole already)?
2) Taking tough unpopular decisions that don't please the children with instant gratifying wonga?
Where did you get this notion that we are entitled to vastly more than we can pay for?0 -
It's a fair point. When it comes to cowardice and lies, I think Labour wins hands down. The Tories have the edge on self-serving greed though."There may be a legal obligation to obey, but there will be no moral obligation to obey.

Out of interest, how are you better off?'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'm sure that Labour will get in again at the next election. All I can say is "Hooray". I am sure that more gold reserves will be auctioned off at the lowest price so that I can get free swimming and perhaps a free laptop or two? So that would be great.
I don't have children and am getting fairly old, so the consequences of any irresponsible spending, deliberate policy of unskilled immigration, and other typical Labour policies, don't really matter to me.0 -
Many trends signs point to a healthy recovery now under way.
1 million net new private sector jobs created in 2 years, against the backdrop of Euorpean contraction is in fact quite a staggering achivement.
I thought you were into in independant thinking, and not following the flock?
Most of those new jobs are part time, public sector job purge and still govt debt grows rapidly

If I didn't know better your post sounds like a typical political (Tory) soundbite.
The truth is most of the jobs that have been created are minimum wage Asda,Tesco etc jobs.They don't create wealth as the employees are on minimum wage, page little or no tax and still qualify for benefits (WTC,CTC, housing benefit etc).The likes of Asda and Tescos don't create real wealth they just pay low wages knowing the UK taxpaying public will continue to stump up the shortfall in income.
Small to medium sized businesses that do create wealth still can't access the finance to grow thats a clear fact that you can't deny and until the Tories stop licking the boots of the bankers nothing will change.
You won't find anyone more critical of New Labour than me , the Condems are doing some things right but a lot wrong.
They are pretty much your average British Government.0 -
No had to type this bitChuck Norris can kill two stones with one birdThe only time Chuck Norris was wrong was when he thought he had made a mistakeChuck Norris puts the "laughter" in "manslaughter".I've started running again, after several injuries had forced me to stop0

I absolutely despise individuals who start unintelligent, puerile threads for no reason than to vent their own vitriol and to wind up people who don't agree with themNo-one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions. He had money as well.
The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money.
