What insults? What argument?

Unlike you I don't pad my posts with meaningless guff I tell it as it is and the way it is, is that you aren't worth insulting.

As for arguments AccyWeb isn't actually for arguments it's for discussions, some of the discussions may get heated from time to time, however I can't see that happening with you, you can't put a decent level headed post together, you've turned fairy tales and bedtime stories by the brothers Grimm into Tory bogeymen.
How can anyone have a discussion of views with a mindset like yours?

Weren't some Tories convicted of fiddling expenses as well?

For many years, decades even, the ruling governments seemed nervous to award pay increases to MPs due to the possible backlash by the public even though these increases would have been in line with other responsible jobs in both the public and private sectors. Therefore, it may be the case that many MPs saw expenses as a way of topping up their salaries to a level which they saw as the equivalent of what they could have got for doing a similar responsible job in the public/private sector. This seem to be a tacit belief within the House of Commons for years before the scandal broke.
Unlike yourself, my views aren't skewed by political blindness.

All mainstream political parties are all so centralist, peopled as they are by Oxbridge careerist politicans, you'd need a fish slice to separate any of them.

To try and justify the illegal falsifying of expenses accounts, as a way of paying themselves a pay increase, for fear of a public backlash, is one of the most stupid things ever to be posted on this forum.

M.P.'s fought tooth and nail for their expenses to remain secret, because of 'security issues'.

If they couldn't survive on sixty odd grand per year, they should look for another job.

Stealing is wrong, and most were lucky that they escaped a prison sentence.

Were you taking a little nap, from Black Monday 1987, right through until the early nineties, when the country was in a terrible recession, and which saw the housing market crash?

Build new hospitals and schools...yes, did new labour do that?
Erm, yes they did.........with the PFI....money from big businesses........a sort of mortgage that you never know how much the lender wants paying back or for how long the mortgage runs....oh, yes and I forgot...we the tax payers are the mortgagees....seem fair to you then....this New Labour wheeze to make it look like they were doing stuff for the people?

Get real......they are all nasty parties, because all they want is to make good lives for themselves and their families, and let us foot the bill.

Yes, in essence that is exactly what he is saying...seems a bit flawed to me.

And some did go to prison...those who didn't were probably very good friends with someone else in high office.

I go on the basis of who I would rather go to the pub with. A Tory MP or a Labour MP?
Well I think you may have something in common with quit a few people on here at the moment, at least we might get to ask one of them why he stabbed local people in the back, seeing he dare not show his face on here since the deadly deed

The Tories always hit Labour with the Union funding stick. But where do they get their money? Big business, the city and wealthy individuals. At least the Unions are democratically accountable to millions of workers.
Oh you mean the Union Bloke vote, it took Tory legislation to make sure that was democratic and a million not millions would be nearer the mark.

Was he a member on here?

I'm beginning to think this new 'red', is either a student of political studies or even worse, a lecturer.
Any how, I'm sure he will be back shortly refreshed and ready to tell us we know nowt.
Which is precisely double the amount he knows.

Re: The Tories

he speaks the truth, we would have gone into debt whatever political party was in power and i would rather the money spent on hospitals, the working class and infrastructre than spend it on his mates . if plan A was working why are we heading to record unemployment and still borrowing more money
