Total and utter hogwash on both scores. I have lost count of the number of times I have got into protracted and fiesty political debate over the years much to the disgust of my dear wife who has seen me in a 'Hissy Fit' as I have defended my dear Conservatives to the hilt.I am certainly NOT a milquetoast who shies away from arguing my case. In the interests of HOL, I decide NOT to get into any political debate because as sure as night follows day it will desintegrate into a debate about "Yours Truly" rather than the matter under discussion.My wife agrees that this is best NOT only for me but for HOL.Brimstone and gladitorial hostility would take the place of mature and reasoned debate. In actual fact I'm NOT even going to bother to browse this 'Thread' any more so all the barbs against me and the Conservatives will remain unseen.

You must be totally thick. We stopped borrowing and started paying the interest on the debt that your party created. Same old Labour, Borrow, borrow, borrow and then blame the Tories.

I'd say he's pretty resilient, having survived a constant attempt to displace him by his own parliamentary party almost since he was elected. I mean he's won the selection twice, survived sprees of resignations from his own shadow cabinet and a vote of no confidence - and still sticks to a strong left wing principle, despite the best efforts of the parliamentary labour party. It might be a one man suicide charge of the Labour party but I don't think the man is in any way weak. Cameron, lost a referendum and s**t the tory bed The reason he won two leadership elections was because a lot of people paid £25 to join the unelectable Labour party just to keep him at the top knowing he would never win a general election. I think it was a good £25 spent I really do.

As mentioned before (yet some still choose to blame Brown/Labour), Brown was politely asked to sell the gold. The effect of dumping this much gold on the market forced the price down thus, surprise surprise, aiding a large (American) bank to 'straighten-out' it's books by buying at a far cheaper price than before. Cunds. It was Gordon Browns decision to sell the gold and in his own words: [Link] Edited by susmik (29 Apr 2017 2.45pm)

Yes. It's called satire. I was aware! They used to say that satire damaged politicians but no satire could be more laughable than the real Labour Party under Corbyn. Watching Labour MP's trying to avoid saying that their leader is a c*** and people coming on TV to defend Corbyn who have no real idea about politics, are among the most embarrassing things I have witnessed in politics.

Labour will get one big hammering and also the poison dwarf in Scotland is going to get a shock too: [Link] Polls suggesting Labour are catching up again. This election looks like it will be about who can get their demographic out. May is banking on a high turnout among older voters to get her big majority, while Labour need to get youth turnout up. A survey recently showed that if only under 40s voted, Labour would win. Thing is, I actually think you'd have to say that Labour has a better chance of raising the turnout, given they have the groundteam, whereas the Tories are almost toally reliant on media as their groundteam is practically non-existent. The Tories are setting themselves up for a serious hubristic fall IMO. Will be a lot closer than people think.
If punk ever happened I'd be preaching the law, instead of listenin to Lydon lecture BBC4 |
