What have the Tories ever done?

Mancie · 02-10-2009, 01:32

can anyone tell us what the Tories have done for the majority of people in this country?..I'll get the ball rolling by listing what they have not done and what they have opposed in their entire history:

opposed the NHS
opposed the child labour act
opposed womens right to vote
opposed discrimination acts
opposed all national benifts
opposed nation pension
opposed a minimum wage

things they have done:

brought in laws against homosexuals;

took us into the EC;

signed a treaty in 1985 that allowed any immigrants in the EC to live and work in any other EC country and ratified the treaty in 1995;

devastated industry and manufacturing in an attempt to abolish unions

caused recessions that make the present one a picnic;

there's lots more but I don't want to bore the life out of people

Well we tuned Britain into a strong economy after inherting a Babana republic in 1979, left by a joke of a goverment and it looks like we'll be doing it again when this clown Brown gets kicked into touch

I heard a bit on the news a while ago where it was mentioned that New Labour in 1997 took over from a party of crooks and toffs who had alienated the country. Now it's come full circle and it looks as if Labour will be that party of crooks who are replaced. I don't completely go along with that as the Tories have been just as bad with regards to the expenses scandal, but it was sort of expected of them wasn't it. Labour have hit rock bottom and need to dust off their original ideals in order to rescue the people from the nasty blues. The only way I'll vote for Labour though is if Alan Johnson replaces Gordon Brown.

The Tories were much better fodder for comedians.

Although my Hazel Blear's Tufty Club act is starting to pick up a cult following.

OK,I'LL TELL YOU WHAT TORIES HAVE DONE IN THE PAST THAT WAS GOOD

The Tories were/are good for those with low self-esteem.

It provided them with the illusion that there was someone better than themselves, who they could always look up to.

Who sold over half of our Gold Reserves at c.$300 per ounce - it is now worth over $1000 per ounce - errm, wasn't that Mr Brown?

g jones · 03-10-2009, 16:45

All governments have to make decisions. Maggot sold all our Black Gold at 10 dollars a barrel and it has reached $144 a barrel. All our public assets that the day after where worth double or triple on the stock market, deliberatly underpriced. Jaysay, your arguments are inflamatory because they are so contradictory and measured in £s sterling so wrong to the waste under Maggie.

Defending the selling of gold that even at the time was sold at terrible low value Graham. I think you'll agree the selling of an energy source is slightly difference to selling a metal that is entirely monetary value not a functioning resource. Labour would be much better off if you are honest with people and admit where you went wrong.
