Manifest Stupidity: Labour Condemned by their Own Words

Ed is so lacking in the photogenic department they've taken the only barely reasonable shot of him in existence and photoshopped it onto a background of hard working people.....
Yes, and those people are not actually 'working' but just standing around. And they look as miserable as sin.
I blame the current 'electoral stalemate' on all the main parties who insist on claiming to be 'for' hard working people. OK, I understand why none of them want to admit that they actually stand for dossers and !!!!!!, losers and boozers, or the reckless and f[[[less, even though Miliband does.
It's about time they aimed a bit more at entrepreneurs, aspirers, and wannabe's. And at wealth generators, wealth protectors, and wealth spenders.
Most of us retired boomers are no longer 'hard working'. Yes, it's our turn to draw the pittance that is state pension, but apart from that, we spend our time spending our money into the economy and paying a lot of tax. But luckily, I cannot see why any pensioner would want to vote Labour, however poor they might be.0 -

Might as well wipe your butt on it!
Does anyone actually believe the fabrications written upon them.
No joke. This is actually the official policy of the Monster Raving Loony party. They want to distribute such literature compulsorily to food banks as toilet paper.0 -
To be honest they could put anything in their manifesto, I will vote for them because they are the only alternative to the current evil coalition.
Good grief...
Whatever.Still striving to be mortgage free before I get to a point I can't enjoy it.

Here is another set of policies for your to evaluate.....

I like the proposal to abolish stamp duty "because stamps are expensive enough as it is".0 -
As a person whose politics lean towards the Left, I will be voting tactically (as I always do in General Elections) for the Lib Dems to keep the Tories out , as I detest the Tories with a passion (could be due to my job as a Civil Servant I suppose), because Labour will not win in my constituency.
I dont particularly love the Lib Dems as a Party, but I do know my MP and he does a good job for my constituency.
I have known for the last 5 years which way I was going to vote, so I wasnt going to be influenced by ANY parties manifesto.
I just wish we could have the Election now as I am bored.0 -

No that's obviously another, but how can they justify anything with such contradictory and obviously politically contrived policies?0

I'll look at the Tory manifesto when it gets published which I think is today.
There are a very long list of promises that Labour are going to have to find the money to pay for. That lot isn't going to be free.0 -

Surely they could do all of these things and still pass on less tax to our kids via extra borrowing than Labour are 'promising' to?I think....0
