vResistance Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 The only thing I can guarantee about the next election. Whoever wins, there will be an extremely vocal section of this forum complaining about them. Cos they're all tossers! (whoever wins I mean, not the complainers, some of them might not be tossers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xenia Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 How much have gold reserves gone up by? Why buy at prices near the historical high? Ultra low interest rates are a sign of serious economic problems. The low cost of borrowing just allows the true cost of the government's economic policies to be hidden. Last quarter 2011 growth has been revised. The OECD has predicted that we are heading into a technical recession. This is a crucial moment indeed and the use of confrontational language (by both sides) is not going to help us. Both sides have a part to play in getting us back to recovery. I completely agree with your last paragraph, my strident responses to the socialists/unions/labour party is that they do not play their part, to threaten strikes, to carp on about the elected government who have inherited this mess is to me unpatriotic, this crisis should be beyond politics.

I1L2T3 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 In this part of the world some delusional Labour people set up a table opposite The Greystones Pub last weekend to try and flog their message for the upcoming council elections. They didn't stay long. I don't think they got much interest but plenty of abuse. Frankly, I think they were lucky not to get lynched. You think Greystones is some kind of up market hive of Tory voters? That is funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever 'mess' they inherited has had another complete mess heaped on top of it. The coalition are not fixing anything and they never will if they seek confrontation for political purposes. Thank god everybody has seen through what they were trying to do. Trying to re-invent a relatively small group of essential private sector workers as union bogeymen was a really, really odd thing to do. Especially so as the workers have legitimate grievances about working practices and public safety. They are lucky to have, and need to have, a union on their side against the massive petro-chem corporate paymasters of the Tories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 You're voting Labour? There's a shock. It would be a wasted vote in my part of the world, but even if it wasn't I haven't been provided with any information from a Labour candidate to consider. Aren't we important enough for Labour to spend money providing election literature? Don't be coy Tony, you know it's nothing personal, simply a question of using resources to their best effect.

Tony Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Don't be coy Tony, you know it's nothing personal, simply a question of using resources to their best effect. There's no problem with that, I do totally understand, but there hasn't been a single bit of literature through the door, not one. If Fulwood isn't important enough even to print leaflets, you shouldn't be wasting voters time by posting a candidate in the first place. At least show us some respect instead of just trying to use Labour loyalists to split the other votes - I can't see any other possible reason.

Printing leaflets isn't the problem, it's delivering them. Do you have the same feeling towards the Lib Dems when they field candidates in un-winnable seats? Do you feel that they are disrespecting the electorate by posting candidates in the first place? I've noticed you only criticise Labour so I won't hold my breath expecting you to level the same criticisms at your own party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had always assumed that he was a Glib Dem, then a few months ago he claimed he wasn't. Previously he has stated that he has never voted Conservative. So just WHO does our Tone cast his vote for???

I said that parties should treat voters with some respect if you are posting a candidate. Your party has made no effort to inform the electorate in my house, but you are still posting a candidate. I think that is disrespectful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
