Re: The Tories
nope it cost more than 40 million as the tenders who never won get 10 million pounds of compensation that means the other 2 foreign companies got ten million each just for tendering.this railway privatision has cost the taxpayer more than 50 billion pounds what we know of.just because of a flawed ideology this has ripped apart ,just like the privatision of the utilities that the tories said competition would make it cheaper.but it has done the opposite.as the tories and their mates have pillaged and destroyed the infrastructure which made our country great,thats why the tories are the enemy from within this is why after the next election them and their like should never be allowed in goverment again.they have done more harm in this country than labour ever could.ye gordon brown sold off the gold but the tories destroyed the soul raped and pillaged our country.

Could not agree more, but of course your beloved Labour, who we have shown many many times you did not criticise at all before the current Government, have done similar things. Well I say similar £4 billion lost when Gordon sold off the Gold. Why did they not re nationalise the Train network, they had a chance after the Hatfield Crash, but came up with Network Rail....
Just a small point, the current incumbents are a Collation Government, not just Conservative but also Lib Dem.
You see they ALL are the same as each other, once you accept that you will find life is much better

So at last we get to the nitty gritty - you want a socialist dictatorship! Ever thought of moving to North Korea?

No wonder then that if this is what passes for political debate in Accrington that the investment bankers go unpunished and the rest of us pay for their greed. Thanks for the opportunity to hear your views they have been very revealing.

I'm pretty much with you on this (mostly).

Don't leave now, it's just getting going. I've been away a few days and it's quite entertaining. I had the same response when I first joined (probably still do) but hey, it's all the more diverse for it.
To the others, why do you give new people on here such a hard time? I'm too hard faced and hard nosed to go away but others may not be the same.

We don't always. But I don't take kindly to being lectured by some pompous, holier-than-thou, humourless git telling me "for God's sake wake up". Anyway, he's gone off in a strop now because we didn't all fall in line with his beliefs. I reckon he wouldn't be too happy with you anyway when he found out you'd voted UKIP - he's have you down as a xenophobic, reactionary little Englander. That's the standard left wing socialist line when I tell 'em who I'm thinking of voting for!

Re: The Tories
As Wyn says...we don't always give new members a hard time.
Ask Dave in Germany...I think he slid into the forum with ease...it is about affording respect......and not having that superior attitude...OK, so that new member had debated 'real' politics at the Oxford Union.......was that supposed to impress us?
It makes out that politics isn't for ordinary people....and that is what is wrong....too many 'ordinary people' fail to be interested in politics because of that kind of attitude.
Politics touches every part of our everyday lives......and we should have opinions, and feel that we can express those opinions without some toffee nosed member telling us we don't know what were are talking about....OK he didn't say that in so many words, but that is certainly what his pompous post implied.
