Tradescanthia Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I don't think the current set of clowns are much better. I only wish I had a better choice to vote for. Only this man http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvBF8vpplvc&feature=related I would like to see politicians with conviction......NOT CONVICTIONS !!! I'd like to see less smartarse career politicians.......i.e. Seb Coe, he's never had a proper job in his life !!! The stronger and more 'abusive of power' the right wing become, the more we need a powerfull left wing, otherwise a dictatorship ensues. i mentioned 'proper jobs'........I'd love to see Nick Cleggs C.V.

Tradescanthia Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Aren't most schools and hospitals built using the dreaded PFI-scheme these days? A terrible Tory idea which New Labour embraced. Never underestimate the role of NeoLiberal governments in creating attractive investment opportunities for their big business chums at the expense of the public good. I hate to admit it [as a Labour supporter] but Tony Blairs choice of 'chums' bordered on criminality. He moved in strange circles for a socialist..........all those holidays with the King of Spain for a start.........I'm sure they didn't just talk about the weather.

Whereas the likes of Marxist firebrand, socialist loon and man of the people David Blunkett has the conviction of a tart. He let in all the immigrants without proper checks and introduced university fees after promising he wouldn't So far he has taken the best part of £500k from Murdoch, has a house in London and one on the Chatsworth Estate. Is that the sort of political conviction you are talking about? I'd like to see what Blunkett has on his CV under the heading Achievements.

I'd like to see less smartarse career politicians.......i.e. Seb Coe, he's never had a proper job in his life !!! They do exist. I personally know of a couple of MPs who have worked hard in their lives, then gone into local politics and done loads for their local area and never claimed for a duck mansion or done anything dishonest.

Jim Graham Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 What about David Milliband's? Don't think he's done much outside politics.. Ah but Millibrain isn't a Socialist. In fact they are few and far between in Labour Party. But that fact doesn't stop the loony lefties voting for them and then complaining they aren't proper Labour. Of course Labour's paymasters, the unions, are socialists. That's why the likes of Millibrain, Balls and the rest are talking out of both sides of their mouths. They can't get elected on socialist principles because that philosophy died years ago. They can't keep the support of the unions without delivering more loony socialist policies. So whatever promises they make they will always go back to their ruinous tax and spend policies as we have had in Sheffield since Adam was a lad.

You've pretty much summed up New Labour in one short post there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retep Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Conservative government gets in Sheffield gets nothing, because its Labour run. Labour government gets in Sheffield gets nothing, because the people think we're ok now because Labour are in, Labour do nothing for Sheffield but get it further in the mire, yet the populace are happy that Labour are in power. Wake up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
