Re: Tory Tory Tory
Rindy ! Quite an "in-your-face" thread here eh? I keep forgetting what my politcal place in Accy world is? What English Party lean would I have for thinking Ronal Reagan was a very good President? IMO, the best since James Monroe.
Okay carry on, I'm getting the popcorn for this one!

It's been moderated since this morning.
It was all fisty-cuffs at motorway service stations and the like.

Ah well, you probably aren't the first person in the world to think a group of people were evil. I'm pretty sure Hitler hated the Social Democrats in the same way you hate the Conservatives, so it's hardly something unheard of.
No need to pussyfoot around me, but don't accuse me of only talking about politics when I don't even care for the subject.
I think socialists are lazy, so I have my own stereotypes. Tend to lack manners too...
At our student union hustings you could spot the socialists by own stark characteristic: they all had a can of alcohol with them. Is this what I should be aspiring to be? Because if so, please hand over your weapon of choice mr dictator and I'll do away with myself quite happily.

Re: Tory Tory Tory
I am not aiming to be a politician, so I wont ever get in power, unless of course I fancy a career change at some point.
Are you confusing communism with socialism on the second part? Or are you just calling socialists fascists in disguise
I'm glad you brought up this political topic, I wouldn't have thought of doing so.

Re: Tory Tory Tory
the thing is people are going to be voting tory not remmembering what they did to this country.no investment in schools ,hospitals,police etc for 20 years all they said was no subsidising public services but when it came to roads they changed the wording to investing remember thatcher and co all they said was cuts cuts cuts thats why we are still reaping what they sowed now!they destroyed what infrastucture we had in this country by lack of investment for 1p cut in tax.if it was up to them we would be on 3 quid an hour they have no ideology no substance to their policies except having the immature thinking of grabbing what you can.they encouraged only the fittest survive culture by saying they stood for family values they were liars and always will be..i will never forget nor forgive..

Re: Tory Tory Tory
I am in total agreement with all who say the conservative set this country one the road to ruin, and have done it on more than one occasion, but have to point out that, until maggie sorted the miners out and therefore the unions, Labour always gave some power back to the unions when they came back to power, not this time, they have had opportunity to change things, but have actually carried on in a lot of ways just as the tory's would have done, new labour in my opinion is almost tory, one of the giveaways is the fact that, the funding for Labour came largely from union contributions, much of it now comes from industry and the fatcats within industry, so they wont go against the bosses in any big way anymore, nor have they put the money back into council housing since maggie sold the council houses (and she sold them because of the state of disrepair would have cost billions), so the people who bought council houses, thinking they were better off on the property ladder lost out, either because the property boom end crippled them, or because the condition of the houses left big repair bills for the purchasers, so many were actually worse off, my point is, Labour are not all that these days either!

How peculiar?! Surprised I didn't get such a lovely message seen as I was still online at that time. Of course, I just got a special public mention instead

Re: Tory Tory Tory
My personal view is that the country is more controlled by certain large conglomerates and companies (especially the media) than ever before, and that the government (whether tory or labour) is progressively losing power. Add in the do-gooders, PC brigade, Brussels and the media and they are sometime stuck between a rock and a hard place.
I think there is a groundswell of public opinon that a big change is needed and some people are looking to the policitcal parties and not noticing much difference, hence why the minority parties are gaining ground. Give it 10-20yrs, and we`ll either be controlled by Europe without local parliament or it will be radically different. (hopefully)

I agree. This government is as close to socialism as Kerry Katona is close to being voted Mother of the Year.
Sadly that's the only way they could become electable, in a nation which has grown selfish under Thatcher's reign. Me, me, me, and sod the rest.

Re: Tory Tory Tory
Absolutely agree garinda! I know somebody who had a perfectly acceptable offer for a building recently, pushed to have the offer enlarged, got refused, and his business went bust shortly after, pure greed and just deserts imo, the same as is going to happen to many who falsely expanded house prices, the sellers and estate agents, 'make hay while the sun shines?' the ones who did are going to find its raining for some time!

Re: Tory Tory Tory
The Conservatives made mistakes, they got voted out
Why shouldnt Labour face the same threat with the mistakes they are making.
And as for personal threatening pms, if someone has to resort to making them to argue a point, dont bother arguing it
