Thumbs down Some people have no shame....

Rotten to the core Peter Mandleson is back again!! For the THIRD time!! This time the slime ball will be catching the EU gravy train and have his pointy snout firmly embedded in the euro trough along with that other profligate waste of space Neil Kinnock.

Even New Labour ministers are (rightly) embarrassed by this grotesque display of cronyism by Blair.

Ah well, hopefully there’s not much more than a year to go now before these crooks are out of office.

UB - It'll be a least another 10 years before the Tories will be trusted again - if they ever are. Howard wont convince anyone of anything !

The BNP have got more chance of getting power than the Tories have !

Liberals look like the best bet for the challenge to the Next Government !

Tony Blair can get his mate into politics three times and takes us into what many view as an illegal war and he'll still get in next time - They must be doing something right ?

The Lib Dems in power. Doesn't bear thinking about does it?

They do a very good job of lying and spinning and borrowing money and fiddling the figures. To that extent I suppose they mirror the values and morals of todays britain.

From me, just two words - Canada or New Zealand. (oh, that's three )

Maggie was the best Prime Minister this century. Put the country back on it's feet. Might have been hard for some but you cant please all of the people all of the time.It's about time Blair realised this and stopped bull****ting and did something useful for this country.

WTF? Why did the electorate vote Mandy into the role of EU Commissioner? WTF? Are voters really that clueless?


































Oh yeah. It's the EU Commissioner. We can't vote on it. Democracy my ****. I wonder which unelected EU position B.Lair is lining himself up for.

OK, Think I'll change my allegiance to New Labour. Or maybe even the BNP.
Maybe Uncle Buck et al will join me as well.

I find it quite depressing that Labour can do just about anything (like giving Mandy a gravy train job) and the electorate still votes them in. I presume to keep the Tories out rather than because they like them, or their policies.

By the time the electorate realises how badly fecked up the country is, and votes them out, it will be too late. Everyone in the UK will be using Euros, all sovereignty will be gone, the Royal Family will be on the dole, the economy will fooked, crime will be rife, our Armed Forces will be a joke, and every car in the country will have a GPS speed limiter fitted. Great.

Every passing day makes me realise I made the right move by getting out of the UK.

Well Kinnock did pretty well as a Commissioner, his job was to clean up all the dishohesty and graft as well as the disappearance of millions of EU cash. The auditors have refused to accept the Commission's accounts for the last 9 years now!

Mandelson sounds like a dead ringer for the job.

I think it now boils down to the fact that the averge person does not think their vote can make any difference. Are they right??
