You can fool the some of the people some of the time...as the saying goes...............Time for a change.

You got the advantage there Roy I don't remember... but I know that the Tories in the 50's opposed free health care...opposed national pensions..and opposed welfare benefits... of course in these days they would not dare to speak about cuts in funding for essential spending on these services...but these old Tory "values" live on...and the Tory party has proved that you can fool some peolpe some of the time.. but you ain't fooling me.

Next time you mount the soapbox on speakers corner ask the assembled crowd "Can we trust Gordon Brown" on a show of hands I think the majority would keep their hands in their pockets...by the same token if you asked the assembled crowd if they support Man Utd....The answer would no doubt be................'Do Yeh'

"
"ruffled a few feathers" ? ... when she dies I don't reckon the cranes down the docks in the Thames will be bowed like they did at Churchill's funeral... she got rid of the dockers before the miners..any comparison to this Goverment with Thatcher and her wimps is an insult to any moral thinking person.. but then the Tories do not care how low they stoop to get power.

But in tough times like these who would want to be in power And remember, it was Republican (that's Tory to the max) policies, dating back to Ronnie Raygun and his bitch, Maggie, that got us into this mess in the first place. And if Labor is drinking at the Last Chance Saloon, I think I'll join them for a brewskie. Remember, the only good tory is a suppository.

Darling makes that pair look like financial geniuses and you have to remember that this shower inherited the best financial outlook of any incoming government in history, but as usual it will be left to the Tories to clear up after this shower of total incompitents, like we always do

Re: Budget 2009
But for Thatcher this country would have been a Banana republic long ago, the only thing she did was put it of until New Labours 12 years of incompitant bungling, we are now a country with the third biggest debts in the world behind USA and Italy. One thing I have noticed is that not one of our Labour mouth pieces have had a word to say on this issue, mind you they never have any contribution to an thread on their incompetent brothers and sisters in Westminster, they give um a wide birth, but as the old saying goes they all P in the same pot, in good times and bad times
