andygardener Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Really ? That's a big change from the party that had Gordon "..a light regulatory touch on finicial services" brown as its leader. Ah well, it's all much better now MilliBean's in charge backed by Mr and Mrs Balls. What could possibly fail with a strategy entirely consisting of saying the word "growth" over and over again in an eclectic variety of speech impediments on Newsnight?

gnvqsos Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Not really, I would think for most people, myself included, go back just two or three generations and there will be at least one first generation immigrant. One of my grandparents was from the continent, does this mean I shouldn't be against immigration, just because I have some immigrant blood in my veins? It's a classical tactic used to close down debate on immigration, implication being hardly anybody should be against immigration because of any ancestral immigrant roots, which in a modern day democracy, is clearly bonkers. EDIT: Even Miliband is admitting Labour got it wrong on immigration, despite being from immigrant stock. It does seem that many people apply double-standards to the issue without any discomfort.Do you want to deny others the chance to better themselves as your people did? ---------- Post added 20-03-2013 at 20:38 ---------- Really ?

I am afraid that I have never heard of finicial services but they sound a little painful,which may explain the light touch advocated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always tell when someone has no argument when they start pointing out spelling mistakes, unless you don't know that I meant financial and that makes you thick. I am merely a poor typist.

tinfoilhat Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Well yes............ Personally I am a vegan. Wasn't the first word that popped into my head when describing you. And why put personally at the start of that sentence ? Would it mean you are less of vegan if it wasn't there ? Any thoughts on Gordon brown's hard line financial management or have you forgotten all about that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
