Grandad.Malky Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I remember how desperate things were in Sheffield in the early 80's and believe they should NEVER be trusted to run the country agan. But some people have short memories and then there are those that are too young to know what happened 20+ years ago, ah well they will learn.

There are some who remember 30 years ago as well. The Winter of discontent. Power cuts Strikes There was nothing quite like sitting in a dark room waiting for some union man to agree to turn the power back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no doubt the unions had too much power but did we need the polar opposite that Maggie gave us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite the same as dumping whole communities into the dustbin - on purpose - by our own government - and still to this day without any regret.

Daven Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Why use an analogy (and a pretty poor one at that)? If people want to vote for David Cameron then that's fine. But you could at least tell us what it is that he is offering. Maybe you can convince the rest of us disillusioned lefties that Dave and George are the way forward. I'm still waiting for the Tory Toffs to answer this very valid question. What exactly has David Cameron got to offer apart from a sickly smile and a dodgy haircut ?

Tricky Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I'm still waiting for the Tory Toffs to answer this very valid question. What exactly has David Cameron got to offer apart from a sickly smile and a dodgy haircut ? You're attacking his hair!?!?!? How low have you sunk? Is this the last thin fragile straw you can grasp? There's floundering, then there's really badly floundering and then there's criticising hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a genuine interest in what the Cameronites on here think that he has to offer but they don't seem to have much to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Star Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 The main difference is that most Tory MPs were born to govern. They've had the right breeding and upbringing, have gone to decent schools and will have mixed with important people in industry and the financial sector throughout their lives. I'd much rather trust them than a bunch of labour hypocrites who spend their youth as socialists bleating about social justice and fairness then as soon as they get elected abandon their principles and stick their snouts in the trough ! This is a funny post!!!! Born to govern? Hello??? Cameron and his pals are just fools looking for a job - leave governing to people who are bright enough to do it, not those whose only claim to fame is where they went to private school... Just because someone went to a famous private school doesn't make them intelligent - it only means that their famillies had the cash to spend... You can't buy brains, you know! It would also be ignorant on your part to imagine that all Tories mix with big wigs throughout their lives - I am sure that a bus conductor like John Major may have sold a few travel passes to people in the city in his early career, and Thatcher came from the hotbed of economic power that is Lincolnshire! Not all Labour MPs have abandoned their principles - Let's face it, Cameron was guilty of 'switching' homes in the expenses scandal, but if there was any dirt on Brown that would have made headlines wouldn't it? Nothing was reported... I bet you thought that GW Bush was a good president, as he believed that he was born to govern too! After all, his father had been president before him and he must have been sober enough at times to realise this???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What exactly has David Cameron got to offer apart from a sickly smile and a dodgy haircut ? He reminds them of Blair, and this lot probably all loved the falseness to bits! Some people really are swayed by a speech writer and a bit of spin... Good luck to them! Saw a comic on tv the other night taking the mick out of Cameron and his policies, all 'I'll tell you what I won't do!' etc... I have yet to hear a word come out of that mans mouth that was his own, or held a grain of honesty about it... But, as I say, some people lap that up!
