True Tory Colours ....
 
Far from removing RED Tape, they want to instal some BLUE Victorian thinking about keeping the workers under foot!!

Typical, Tories for the rich - never will it be any different!!

I'm too old to care about employment law to be honest .... but, it still gets my heckles up when the Tories want to push the workers back into the streets and workhouses!!

YOU lot voted for them, I did warn you ....... you are reaping the results of those crosses!

I see that Blair is returning - how we need a true Leader at times like this!!

ScoobyDoo555 21 May 2012 06:26 PM

Did somebody say something?

Nah, thought not.

Jimbob 21 May 2012 06:40 PM

Wish they`d bring in euthanasia, sure you`d be on that list!!

But bring back workhouses, modern twist to get some use out of people, and to give them some self worth.

jonc 21 May 2012 07:07 PM

What are babbling on about now you old duffer!!?

ScoobyWon't 21 May 2012 07:07 PM

You are supporting the Tory stance on the police thread. Make up your mind, Peter.

pslewis 21 May 2012 07:42 PM

I support whoever is in the right ...... I support the worker when they are being downtrodden.

I do not support some jumped-up-overpaid-moaning group ..... when they know they have it well heeled!!

How deeply ironic! :lol1: With regards to Blair, I can't think of anyone more disingenuous or duplicitous in the history of British politics.

It will be great to see you as the UK president one day Pete. It will make watching the news everday something to look forward to

The greatest Leader of the UK, since Churchill??

The record books will show that the right choices were made at the right time ---- hindsight is the path of the weak, the strong make the choices when they need to be made.

tony de wonderful 21 May 2012 11:35 PM

I was reading that in the early 19th century, mill owners were employing 6 year olds to work 15 hour days 7 days a week, sometimes working until 6am. This stopped with various laws prohibiting it.

jef 21 May 2012 11:36 PM

the problem initiates fom the general acceptance that one single leader is needed imo

one leader can never represent everyones thoughts or opinions

political influence should work towards an acceptable situation for as much of the population as possible not just a tiny margin of victory of one stance over the other

when i watch question time, so much is effort is wasted in the attempt to belittle one person/party over the other - its comical tit for tat slagging match. if as much effort was put into working together from both sides it would be of more constructive benefit

ok your never going to please all the people all of the time - but you could please more than the current situation reflects imo

A bit like the Coalition policies that you keep whining on about!:freak3:

EddScott 22 May 2012 11:35 AM

Look how well the lads are dealing with inflation - down to lowest since 2010.

Dave and Nick have a firm grip. No need to worry.

Jimbob 22 May 2012 11:47 AM

So hmmmm we`d be right royally F***ED if your idiots ad rabble-rousers had got back in.

hodgy0_2 22 May 2012 11:49 AM

and they have also found the time to abolish MOT's for vintage cars

hitting the manifesto pledge to reduce red tape

MOTing my fleet of pre war Bentley's was becoming a bit of an admin chore tbh

No, because they would have had to implement more or less the same austerity measures that the current government have. Democracy has been supplanted by the ridiculous debt-go-round that we currently have.

You think so ? my bet is they would have carried on spending and borrowing uncontrolably without paying a blind bit of notice to the situation they entrenched us in years earlier.

And lets be fair who within their own party would have forced them into austerity measures ? no one.

pslewis 22 May 2012 12:42 PM

To be honest, we would be where we are whoever was in power ...... it's a worldwide correction that takes no notice of the individual governments in power at any particular time.

What we need to be frightened of, actually, is the things the Tories CAN cock up - like the Labour Laws, for example.

But, yes, as pointed out above - my Vintage Rolls doesn't need the stupidity of an MOT to ensure that it's not a rusting pile of oxide particles!! Hoo Har Henry!

dpb 22 May 2012 12:45 PM

Utter tosh , labour in power together with worlwide problems, nearly pushed us over the edge

DJ_Jon 22 May 2012 12:47 PM

Pablo - you really should get a new wooden spoon, yours is worn down to a nub! ;)

And with the Tories we are in Economic Bliss??

Do me a favour - open that wooden thiing in the hole in your wall - step outside - what do you see?

That's right, a Tory led recession - a double dip on the Tories watch - you make me laugh!

And what is happening around the world? All are saying that we need growth, just as Labour said 2 years ago ...... seems they were RIGHT, again - it's getting a bit boring now, Tories mess up, Labour mop up, and around it goes.

A lovely sunny day, with unlimited prospects.
Less stealing disability benefits, Petrol coming down in price, interest rates due to fall, inflation down.

LIFE IS GOOD!!

pslewis 22 May 2012 01:04 PM

I suppose it could be worse .... I could live in Swansea ;)

Nobody was denying the need for growth Pete.

We're still running a deficit, it's stimulus spending by a Keynesian measure. The Labour spending plans were only fractionally different.
