The lucky ones are those that got out before silicosis or pneumonicosis struck.
A tories aim is the country first and himself second.
A Labourites is himself first, Socialism second and f*** the country.
(Example? Prescott. Just look at him)

Keep it coming, it will make his lairdship turn in his benifits queue.
Regards to all from mananaland.
ps, I see that arsehole Gerry Adams is still leading the NL plonkers a merry dance. Is it that they are trully stupid, or so idealistic that they cant see he is laughing at them?
grrrrh!

Well I never thought my posting would provoke so much debate and excellent posts they are. Well done all of you, it's good to see we do still care what ever side of the divide you're on. My point, which has been shown up in your posts is, there is nothing to choose between them. Who do you choose, who can you trust, I just don't know. If ever this country needed a real leader, now would be a good time to come forward.
Once again great posts guys. Sandber, good reply. Next subject, should prostitution be available on the NHS?
LOL

You just cant trust the Torys, vote labour. Personally Ive never had it as good as a business man over the term of this Labour government. I cant see what they have done wrong. Put the Torys back in power and the unstability will return to the market place and the shop floor. Browns done an excelent job bar cutting capital gains. We have stability and not the swings and round abouts the Torys alway produce. You know it makes sense vote for labour.

One thing that as to be done by who ever wins(labour)is that local councils have to be scrapped. The amount of waste is unbeleiavable.
Just look at the job adverts in your local rag to see what pathetic positions are being created. I dont know what the alternative is, any thoughts??????.

What about the bumper bundle of non-jobs every month in the Gullible (Guardian)?
Clever clogs Brown has shunted a pile of costings onto the local Gov. You WILL pay..he'll make sure of that.
Alternative ? Vote Tory. Then you will find out the mess we are in through Socialism. Or vote Socialist and carry on dreaming.......for a while. Then the brick will drop.

Well all I know is that 'us up North' have been a lot better off under the Labour party. More Jobs, more Schools, more University places,lower prices, more positive EXPECTATION the one thing the Torys always take away from Middle Britain.
Yes we might pay a little more tax under labour, but for sure we wont see the fat cats get fatter and fatter like they would under the Torys.
Remember the Torys only look after the top 10% of people.
YOU CANT TRUST THE TORYS.

Sorry GF-can't agree with you at all. The economy was stable due to Lawson and Clarke when Brown took over the good times were just around the corner. All Brown did was continue with many TORY policies, saw sense on staying out of the Euro ( TORY policy-thank goodness though Clarke wanted us in) handed over interest rate decisions to the bank of England- good sense-- and then brought in the 66+ tax rises and extra fuel duty, zillions of speeding fines which are tax by any other name!, robbed the pension funds so many poor pensioners now haven't got one, filtered off the lottery funds-think stupid Dome etc and gay black onelegged support groups etc-- took on 4 Billion more civil servants to reduce the unemployment figures or moved them to incapacity benefit which has gone up 7 times! Poured money into schools and hospitals which areeven dirtier and more badly managed than ever.
Just seen a man on working lunch saying he prefers to work but would be 50 a week better off if he stayed home and lived on his benefits. Where's the sense in that!
I used to employ 3 trainees and now have to turn them away, can't afford them. They are not productive for a year and the promised help just doesn't go anywhere. Put them on a training scheme 2 days a week for a year then tell them they are qualified---no employer would touch them let alone afford them!
Get proper training on the job and our youngsters stand a better chance, as it is they don't have a chance to get out of the colleges and don't know what service means when working in shops etc-they'd rather chat with their mates! I have no problem with pushing jobs and help up North I'm sure its needed but remember our friend Gordon is piling the bills very high indeed and his stealth taxes are going nowhere near paying for them. The **** will hit the fan after the election and only us poor mugs are here to pick up the tab!!
I should think the Tories would rather not win because they will get the blame for the mess that's around the corner the sensible answer is to leave Tony preening his way to the absolute pits and then the Tories try to sort it out in 4 years time!
Even better put 50 women up there and ban men from politics- I'd have a go! Condy's looking good in the states. cheers MP

Prescott got his comeuppance 'up north'. They told him to sod off with his extra layers local Gov. Now he wants to knock half of the place down and make the same mistake as the fifties-sixties. Go upward.
But he is intent on a big building scheme.....down the South-East where it's jam packed already. Brand new rabbit hutches for 60,000. One builder said the only way he could get that price was if they were all wood construction.
I wonder what they would call the place? Domesville maybe? Prescotts pipedream?
They would have to ban the sale of Heinz Beanz that's for sure.

What a sad state of affaires it's all come to. Not one politician or party we can trust completely to do the right thing for this country and all it's people. No wonder we're fed up with the decision makers. And the real sad part is there's nothing on the horizon, no one better, no guiding light. So it's Hobson's choice.
Oh well think I'll roll a fat one.

The best vote might be a non vote, anyone else subscribe to this theory?. Might show them that we are all fed up with the lot of them.

Got to say I'm wondering if I should bother, especially as The Red Lion is opposite the village hall. With the non vote I just keep getting the feeling that with so many countries not having the vote we all should use it. But then we're back to where we were, Hobson's choice. I have a feeling that 'Stella' might get mine. Oh I don't know.
The only problem I have with the Libs is their policy towards europe. I'm not anti but I'm not totally pro. I think they would give too much away and I just couldn't bear the thought of being told what to by the French and Germans.
How about Jordan as PM. She has a couple of big points in her favour guys.
