Labour go in the other direction in that "minorities" get preferential treatment but there must be neutral ground somewhere?

Well it's been along time since I last agreed with you hasn't it. I totally agree with the sentiment expressed in you last two post Busman. Well said.

Totally agree slapperdapper, but the mistake is to blame minority groups for getting more than the rest of us! If WE (i.e. caucasian) emigrated to another country and that government gave us preferential treatment, we would milk it to the hilt! so you can't blame the Asians for doing the same thing!
This is why I am anti Blair.....but with the right leader, Labour can come good again but for Gods sake, don't vote for the National Party as a "knee-jerk" reaction!

Re: Election:Blair Names The Day
In reply to Doug, who urged me to vote for anybody rather than spoiling my paper.
Rather than not vote through apathy, my action shows l do care about my right to vote. Rather than vote for somebody that l don't agree with, ie: a 'looney' party or one issue candidate, as a spoilt paper my action will still be recorded without aligning myself to any one party just for the sake of voting. As for prolonging the count by spoiling my paper tough, that's democracy.
I come from a long line of Labour party members, and this is the first time in my life l won't be voting, partly as l sadly see very little difference between the two main parties.

If we all spoiled our papers rather than vote through apathy, we would be well and truly ******. And quite rightly so. However, in a society where we hold our freedoms to enjoy the right of choice and our opinions so dear to us, I respect your rights and withdraw any criticism that my comments may have implied.

Yeah, So who now remembers the Winter of Discontent? Rubbish piled high in the streets, the dead unable to be buried, inflation at 18%, Economic growth at 0%, half the workforce on strike at any one time...complete and utter chaos throughout the country. It was'nt for nothing that the UK was known as the Sick Man of Europe.
One person had the guts to kick arse and rectify the situation,and that was Maggie..Because of her, our lives are an awful lot better for it. Labour's economic record over the last 8 years rests purely upon the underlying strength of the economy as bequethed by the conservative government, but look closely and you will that it is gradually withering away under the misguided auspices of that skirt-wearing economic illiterate, Gordon Brown. God help us all if this fool is the Chancellor in 6 months time...the bills are going to be rolling in and we're going to have to pay 'em.

Re: Election:Blair Names The Day
She also got the Channel Tunnel built, that was just what the country needed a way in for hundreds of interlopers, she attracted big bussiness so goodbye corner shops, she sent us on a 6000 mile route march for a poxy island in the middle of nowhere, no talk in the Sun about we shouldn't have been there or how many died or was it worth it. Yeh bring back Maggie!!!!!!!!

Re: Election:Blair Names The Day
Light blue touch paper, ensure fuse is lit, and withdraw discreetly to a safe distance. Then run like ****.

Anyone who doesn't vote though can't really complaign about things once the whole thing is done with.

Re: Election:Blair Names The Day
the politicians are only lining their own pockets and once they are in they are set up for life.
thats all they really care about.
if this is not the case then they must all just be stupid

Re: Election:Blair Names The Day
It is only a job though!
They just chose a weird one!
I saw a client today, and we were discussing the Pope (he is Polish - the client, that is!), and he was saying that a lot of priests care more about the money they earn from their job than they do about their congregation.
I expect that there are people in Government who feel exactly the same way. They see it as a job, and don't necessarily care about their constituents. Or should I say, they care more about how much they are going to earn than their constituents, and getting voted in is their motivation to keep going.

Re: Election:Blair Names The Day
If Tony Blair gets in again it is my bet that he will only stick around to wait for some lucrative EU job.......and then he'll Bu**** off.
I am going to choose my party with a pin!
