Well, just goes to prove what my old man used to say. The difference, son, between the parties is that the Conservatives are the politics of "greed" in that they will provide lower taxes and encourage you to work harder, progress, earn more and therefore contribute more to the pot whereas Labour are the politics of "Envy" where if you aspire to better things or buy better things you get punished by higher taxes. Hence the "got a nice car?" we'll tax it more so we can keep 6 million non-workers in "social housing" who we will rely on for votes. Millions of illegal workers who cannot read or write English, and many can't even speak English manage to find work but our lot of shirkers cannot. Gordon needs 'em where he can control them.

Remember, all this piffle about polution and green taxes (Gordon got 98 billion in green taxes and spent just 2 billion on green issues) has to be set against the only true phrase Tony Blair admitted. The UK is not even 2% of the worlds polutants he said. You'd think this government were on some crusade.

We won't mention the the other lot, they want the world to change but don't want the responsibilty of trying to run the country. The "open toe'd sandal brigade" my father used to say. You know the type, Guardian reader with some sort of job not even thought of prior to '97 (Diversity managers etc)

The only light on the horizon is that come 2010 the general election will be close and we can consign this lot of anti-workers to another 30 years in the wilderness. Some of us remember the last time they were in. There has never been a successful Labour government but every generation has to find out the hard way. Oh, do ministers forgo their gas-guzzlers to set an example?

Not to quote Milliband on Question Time..."well, it's not that easy, they have to be bullet proof and secure" yea, tough times to be a Labour minister....

The differencce between the parties is the people who will support them.

your post is typical of why I will never vote Tory. its about society - not about individuals

Has the Parkers site crashed or is it just that it doesn't want to give me my results? I enter the details and just get a blue screen with their strapline on top.

This might help :eek:

If that's what you think then I can only conclude that you are very naiive and come the next election you will find yourself part of the electoral minority.

Oh dear, I do like the optimism of mark88man. He is right of course, politics should be about society and not the individual, but of course society is made up of individuals who contribute to that ideal. Trouble is, since '97 when Labour came to power(inheriting such a strong economy that they changed nothing for years) millions of individuals decided to be takers and not contributers hence the millions on "social", the dumbing down of education, and the wrecking of thousands of years of "englishness" that Labour seem to hate. It's envy again. Like my Dad (born in a Chelsea council estate - a worker as all council tenants in those days were meant to be- and yes, fought in the last war to preserve the freedoms that Labour seem bent on destroying) said, some of us aspire to better things, and if we wanted to earn more money we went to Night School to get better qualifications in order to better ourselves.Nowadays the so called lower paid can't be bothered to do that, they want their earnings topped up to be the same as someone who made the effort. So new labourish and lazy.

Another thing we didn't have prior to '97 were jails at bursting point, not like now where due to Labours dismantling of our border controls we have more than 12,000 (yes, 12 thousand) uninvited foreign nationals residing in jail.

Are there 12,000 english nationals in any other jail system in the world?

Now, it's slightly off the subject of car tax I know, but justified as this tax is just one of many that Labour need to feed their desire to have enough individuals (in society) on "social" who will vote for them.

Workers seeing their hard-earned cash being flushed down the drain won't be voting for them again. Well, not until another naive generation believe the spin.

Thank you for that, and your previous post, and I agree entirely with your comments, or should it be that I agree with your Dad. Either way I fear that Mark88man and any others who agree with him are living in an unreal world. As much as we may all aspire to his ideals the reality is that it will never happen under Labour (and probably not under anybody else) who will only ever promote the Nanny State and all that you have so articulately stated goes with it. If only these shortsighted people could see that it will always be that those in this world who can, will, and those that can't, will vote Labour.

My car is worth around £2000, originally it was £35,000. I couldn't care less what it's worth now, if the gearbox went I'd replace it without even thinking about it. The only time I can see myself not repairing any faults on it is when it either goes up in flames, gets bent like a banana, or falls into a heap of rust. That's because at nearly 210,000 miles it still drives sublimely.

You say that you wouldn't spend any money on tyres on an old car - well that's your choice, its odd though how people like yourself will happily scrap an older vehicle because "its not worth it" and then go and blow £10,000 on a cheap piece of French tin that won't last 10 years.

Sorry you missunderstood me... I'm refering to other drivers with cars near the end of there life.

I've just paid £300 for a set of new tyres for my 97 Cherokee.. plus last year I paid £200 for a new exhuast and cat... I don't mind pumping money into it because I tend to keep it. but I can imagine other people won't spend money on their cars because they think it wont be worth it.
