it doesnt matter they all shaft us, blatantly lie, I have no respect for Tony Blair or John Prescott, and what they have done to this country in the last few years is dispecable.
I still believe we are heading into a very large long running reccesion. and the Labour government will be partly to blame

I hope not but fear they will, due to voter apathy despite serious misgivings about Labour and the lack of a decent opposition.
Bring back Maggie! She'll just be rattling around the house with f-all to do now anyway.....

if the last 20 years has taught us anything, then its taught us that 'traditional' politics does not work
Remember how unpopular the last Tory government was by the time it was voted out?...about as unpopular as the Labour government is now (only Labour has managed to achieve that same level of unpopularity in a much shorter time
)
you should realise by now that it doesn't matter who gets in - they still dish out the same old **** to the plebs and concentrate on looking after their 'investors'...

With a 30-45 seat majority.....yes.
Personally i'll give him 6.5 out of 10.
What bugs me is i wish we could all just concentrate more on what really matters.For example,why is there such a shortage of good tradesmen,why are kids leaving school without any qualifications,why are some employees so f*ckin unreliable...etc,etc.
These things affect every one of us.....sorry Mrs T.There is such a thing as society.

I also hope not, but they have plenty of time to cut interest rates and annouce billions more for health and schools (although it wont mean any improvement in the service).
The glaring lack of WMDs and the open warfare with the BBC will ensure that the next few weeks/months will be quite interesting.
The biggest issue is going to be the government's role in exposing Dr David Kelly. Blair has already hung Hoon out to dry on that one but I think more sh*t is inbound to the fan than he has planned for. The BBC now have a very vested interest in this one and will be flinging for all they are worth. Blair will need more than Murdock and Sky to win this PR campaign. What an ungagged Tony Martin has to say about this government's attitude towards policing and law and order in general will also be interesting. Hence his sudden relocation to a secure house, away from the media camped outside his prison.
Blair was elected as an alternative to a Conservative party that had become complacent and corrupt. With Blair came Vaz, Mandelson, Robinson, Byers and Moore, etc. Interesting times indeed.

We'll get back in and I'll president of this nation one day soon.
Old slap head IDS hasn't a chance of getting elected.
I just need to rid myself of the fat **** who insists on embarrassing me and my party at every turn.
For anyone interested in buying the NHS I'm sticking it on Ebay with a starting price of 99p with no reserve.
Cheers
Tony

IF the Tory promise of getting rid of most speed cameras, raising the Mway limit and building roads is true then I'll give them a chance. Let's face it, there's 23m cars on the road and, apart from a few 17yo's (them who've managed to pass anyway) every one of us is a voter. Haven't Tory bLIAR and his monkeys been biting the hand that feeds them, and getting away with it. Lets have a motorists revolt.

"Didnt the Tories introduce the fuel tax escalator and TB got rid of it..........what short memories you have."
I believe you are correct
Labour has concentrated their efforts on other motor/non motor related stealth taxes after the country ground to a stop three years ago, even Blair and his Croney's realised it would have to go, they did keep it for 4 years though so where not in any hurry to ditch it until they realised they where beaten.
It was hardly out of a sense of fair play now was it
I will not vote for Blair but WTF is the alternative???

Fairs fair.
On the plus.
Labour did get rid of the FTE,okay reluctantly, but they did it.
They have also introduced a lower car tax band for smaller cars.
On the minus.
As under the tories there has been an increase in speed camera's.
The tories love the motorist.....whatever!!!

Oi! Hapgood...
SS, perhaps I'm paying less tax under Blair then. With 1 in 7 now in the public sector, the highest proportion of the workforce ever, I doubt it.

We don't actually know whether they would be a rabble or not 555, that sounds like an unfairly biased view. However we have plenty of hot evidence to know what to expect from this present lot. Do you really want to have your future dictated to you by those grafting Euro Commissioners, and have no power left in your vote?
