ANGELFIRE1 Posted May 5, 2012 Author Share Posted May 5, 2012 New Labour Government = won't happen. Ed Miliband is even more of a prize prat than Gordon Brown IMO. Plagiarized from another forum, this is the future if labour get in again..... "Welcome to the Northern Territory of Europe.....previously known as Britain.....last conquered in AD43 by the Romans...held off invasions by the French and Germans in two wars but finally saw the light and capitulated in 2015. The Vice President of Europe for the Northern Territory, Ms Yvette Cooper, said it was a wonderful day when her husband Mr Ed Balls, then leader of the Socialist Liberal Alliance, had won the last election to be held in the old country of Britain with an overwhelming majority and had immediately handed over the administration to the EU" Angel.

Patriot Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Milliband was appointed one of Brown's special advisors Hmmm........................... So how much does he know about Brown's giveaway of our gold reserves? In January 2004 he was appointed Chairman of HM Treasury's Council of Economic Advisers with specific responsibility for directing the UK's long-term economic planning. That did'nt work very well did it? The question now before us is; What is the difference between a Tory toff and a Labour toff? Naff all IMO.

Labour stopped looking out for what you term the working class years ago. But give me a champagne socialist over an embittered two-up two-down Tory anyday.

ANGELFIRE1 Posted May 5, 2012 Author Share Posted May 5, 2012 In the old days it was easy to work out, Labour for the working masses, Tory's for the wealthy. Problem these days they have merged almost together, all the Parasites are wealthy and looking after their wealth, instead of the people who they represent. Glad I voted Ukip. Angel.
