Default Choose Labour?

http://www.honourablefiend.com/

Choose a country where you're not allowed to walk down the street unmolested by some knuckle-dragging copper demanding you prove who you are.

Choose Shiraz and Ciabatta before waiting eight years and choosing to vocally crap on people who chose Shiraz and Ciabatta.

Choose a fat slob who tells a representative of Wales's national newspaper that he doesn't matter because he's not national enough, couldn't string a coherent sentence together if his life depended on it, takes the car for journeys of 200 yards, punches protestors in the face, and make him the man in charge of the nuclear launch codes if his boss has another "minor heart episode".

Choose the people who said that they'd never introduce tuition fees forstudents, shortly before introducing tuition fees for students.

Choose the people who said they'd fix the House of Lords, then didn't.

Choose the people who said they'd fix this voting system where all but 200,000 people are ignored even during election campaigns, then decided it didn't suit them.

Choose a party which thinks that the term "wasted vote" is anything other than an affront to everything it stands for.

Choose a man who decided in private to invade Iraq and then gather as much evidence, fake or not, to garner public support.

Choose a man who denied doing so.

Choose a man who knowingly initiated a war based on the concept of regime change, who knew that doing so is against the law, and lied, lied and lied again about doing so.

Choose a man who, having been found out, says it's OK because the regime needed to be changed even though that's against the law.

Choose a government which cuts £60k to the wee Woodcraft Folk for not agreeing with that, before handing over £1.2m to Christian fundamentalist "youth workers".

Choose a party which had over 400 members of parliament, of whom less than a fifth had the nerve to stand up to it all.

Choose a man who told you point blank that he did not "out" David Kelley, before admitting finally last week that -- oops, oh dear, I was lying through my **** again and I did do it after all.

Choose a party packed to the rafters with people who think it's alright to lock people up indefinitely without trial, who oppose even letting it go under the eyes of a judge first, who appear on television to claim that the legislation resulting from their defeat on that point proves that their plans are moderate.

Choose a party whose Home Office representative appeared on television only yesterday claiming that the solution to not letting people into the country who shouldn't be granted admission is to introduce ID cards, rather than the slightly more obvious method of checking their ****ing passports.

Choose a party whose stated policy on anti-terror provisions is to repeal the Magna Carta. Most of all, choose letting that smug little tosser claim on Friday morning that you agreed with every last thing he ever did.

I chose not to choose Labour.

I choose something else.

They certainly fixed the local council election in Birmingham!

Do people really think he wants to be re-elected? It is quite obvious that they are aware of how much damage they have done to the UK and want the Cons back in so that G B can blame them for the ***** up instead of looking in the mirror at his own economic blunders as chancellor.

The only consolation in Labour getting back in is that people who think like this will see that Labour have avoided recession only through massive borrowing and taxing pensions to death.

This has already caused irreversible long term damage, but the thing is you simply cant keep on doing this - so in this term the economy will be in very bad shape at some point.

Its like using your savings to prop up your earnings - you cant carry it on forever, and when the time comes when you NEED those savings you'll be screwed.

I'd prefer little boom/busts than one ALMIGHT FOOOOCKING BUST which will happen within the nest 3 years.

Borrowing higher than what people can afford, house prices becoming so high that nobody can start out.....thus more borrowing to pay for it.

Current "government" seems to be patting itself on the back for it's blatantly short term, vote winning antics.

The bottom will fall out - just a matter of time.

Tickles me that people keep saying "can't you remember the last Tory government" and seem to forget the last Labour government that overspent, had to go cap in hand to the IMF, had to cut back all over the place resulting in strikes because they had too many public sector workers they couldn't afford.

What's this government been up to for the last 8 years? Increasing borrowing and taking on more public sector workers.

Therefore increasing costs, inefficiency, red tape.....Exactly!!!

I think it's safe to say governing a country is not easy and people are too quick to judge/complain - however when it comes to the current government - I never wanted the tossers in the first place.

NL are guilty of wholesale gerrymandering and vote rigging. welsh assembly, london mayor, birmingham labour party postal vote fraud, union block vote manipulation, cynical constituency border changes across the country to deliver unfair advantage: sound familiar? it's all happened since 1997...

I'll tell you this much - The Depression that the Socialists are engineering will make the Great Depression of my era seem like a stroll in the gardens at Blenheim Palace.

Come on, the Wentminster Council as a whole were at it.

As for boundary changes, this has been happening since time began. I've no idea who's better ot worse at it, but I know it's not suddenly started in the last decade.

Quite why you bring the London Mayor/devolution into it puzzles me. Useless, possibly, but not corrupt, unless you know something that I don't.
