A few people on this web seem to think this a chance to propagate their politics.. Andreweb and Blazey.. I think it's out of order.
Go preach your lies somewhere else... had enough of you lot in the 80's... idiots.

Where has this come from? I don't PREACH politics, I avoid it at all bloody costs! Everyone who knows me knows that I can't stand the topic, including Andrewb.

Stop looking for an excuse to personally attack us and get a life. If there was no opposition parties you'd be stuck with the same political party and have no choice on the matter, so think yourself lucky that there is fierce competition to keep Labour on their toes.

And you think that this shower are any better, they're ten times worse, as they sold their principals to become electable, and as for using this site to peddle politics at least AndrewB and Blazey do join in on all forms of discussions unlike Mr. Jones who only uses this site for his own political propaganda, have you seen him post on anything apart from politics,:dummy:

Where has the come from ? you don't preach politics ?.. you are a blatant propagandist for the Tories...you are the ones that need excuses for the economic fiasco you managed to create not so long ago! let's have your explanation for the damage the Tories did to this Country.
Keep Labour one their toes?... you prat.. do you think your views mean anything? I say again ..idiot..

Leave them to it.

The people who use this forum to spread propoganda for political reasons, do a fine job at turning people off from their respective political parties.

I enjoy the political ones - I get a bit frustrated when they disintigrate into name calling - if you can't make a good political point then the name calling's hardly going to win the argument.

blazey 10-06-2008 14:10

Re: Tory Tory Tory
 
I try and get involved in every thread I have an opinion on, and I have always made it very clear that I don't follow politics as much as most people, so my views are entirely formed in my own mind and not from any particular party.

I went AGAINST the Conservative view in regards to the Post Offices, and backed Labour. I am not afraid to do this in regards to any other issue. I am also campaigning at university against a conservative idea, which I have a thread about though I haven't expressly pointed out that it is an ideal of any particular political group that I am campaigning against. I take a lot of stick at university for this, but I still believe in it and I don't care if it goes against my choice of parties beliefs.

I take part in a lot of random threads, and I make many threads that have absolutely nothing to do with politics. In regards to Andrewb's political posts, he studies the subject and clearly it is where his passions lie, so it is EXPECTED that the majority of his posts should be related to politics, but this isn't to say that this is the only thing he ever posts about.

I think you just enjoy seeing what you want to believe, when in fact if you look through the majority of my recent posts you will probably struggle to find anything political in them.

My signature has an air of politics to it in the fact that I am jesting with socialists, but that is mainly because the politics I do get involved with at university is in humour and winding up all my socialist friends, as there is a shortage of conservatives at lancaster uni and I am in the socialist college ;)

Ah well, you probably aren't the first person in the world to think a group of people were evil. I'm pretty sure Hitler hated the Social Democrats in the same way you hate the Conservatives, so it's hardly something unheard of.

No need to pussyfoot around me, but don't accuse me of only talking about politics when I don't even care for the subject.

I think socialists are lazy, so I have my own stereotypes. Tend to lack manners too...

At our student union hustings you could spot the socialists by own stark characteristic: they all had a can of alcohol with them. Is this what I should be aspiring to be? Because if so, please hand over your weapon of choice mr dictator and I'll do away with myself quite happily.

the thing is people are going to be voting tory not remmembering what they did to this country.no investment in schools ,hospitals,police etc for 20 years all they said was no subsidising public services but when it came to roads they changed the wording to investing remember thatcher and co all they said was cuts cuts cuts thats why we are still reaping what they sowed now!they destroyed what infrastucture we had in this country by lack of investment for 1p cut in tax.if it was up to them we would be on 3 quid an hour they have no ideology no substance to their policies except having the immature thinking of grabbing what you can.they encouraged only the fittest survive culture by saying they stood for family values they were liars and always will be..i will never forget nor forgive..

Re: Tory Tory Tory
 
I am in total agreement with all who say the conservative set this country one the road to ruin, and have done it on more than one occasion, but have to point out that, until maggie sorted the miners out and therefore the unions, Labour always gave some power back to the unions when they came back to power, not this time, they have had opportunity to change things, but have actually carried on in a lot of ways just as the tory's would have done, new labour in my opinion is almost tory, one of the giveaways is the fact that, the funding for Labour came largely from union contributions, much of it now comes from industry and the fatcats within industry, so they wont go against the bosses in any big way anymore, nor have they put the money back into council housing since maggie sold the council houses (and she sold them because of the state of disrepair would have cost billions), so the people who bought council houses, thinking they were better off on the property ladder lost out, either because the property boom end crippled them, or because the condition of the houses left big repair bills for the purchasers, so many were actually worse off, my point is, Labour are not all that these days either!

banjoman 10-06-2008 18:55

Re: Tory Tory Tory
 
My personal view is that the country is more controlled by certain large conglomerates and companies (especially the media) than ever before, and that the government (whether tory or labour) is progressively losing power. Add in the do-gooders, PC brigade, Brussels and the media and they are sometime stuck between a rock and a hard place.

I think there is a groundswell of public opinon that a big change is needed and some people are looking to the policitcal parties and not noticing much difference, hence why the minority parties are gaining ground. Give it 10-20yrs, and we`ll either be controlled by Europe without local parliament or it will be radically different. (hopefully)

That's the beauty of democracy, we can vote parties in and out.

Though sadly all the main political parties are so middle of the road, with Labour allowing the place to be over run by the super rich attracted by the generous perks, whilst at the same time taxing the most poor harder than ever, and the Conservatives bending over backwards to appear caring and sharing, with their hug-a-hoodie rubbish, that there is really very little to chose between them.

add the greedy letting agencies as well i wonder if this means they will have to decrease their rent or will they not be able to afford it .this is just the start the western economy is going to crash big time the the established money men are going to make a mint.this the way they make big bucks..

In my opinion, this is the first bit of sense spoken on this thread - are you sure your on the right site?

The whole problem with politics in this country is the 2 party system. If we want any common sense we need to get away from our prestnt weather vein system. Various parties have tried eg BNP and Respect but they have tended to concentrate too heavily on single issues (Please dont anyone read this as me endorsing the BNP, the only thing they have going for them is repatriation and that is only cos I would apply for it!)
Regionally we have seen the For Darwen party and the Southport First Party achieve some success, only time will tell if they achieve their objectives.

This is not about Labour being good..and it looks to me like plenty of people accept that the Conservatives might actually be good...even if they have "done bad things" in the past.. it's about people posting propaganda for the Tories.
Anyway I honestly wish you well in your exams and further education.. I'm sure you are grateful to the taxpayer and this Labour Government for paying for them..take a look at the conservatives history.. you'll find THEY objected to education for all, and opposed the NH, .. and opposed pensions, free elections, child labour laws, and anything else this nation now enjoys.

Are you asking me to be grateful to a government about university fee's when they have increased next year?

Also I pay most of my funding back, so maybe I should thank my bank too, who will have supported me much more than the government by the time I finish my studies.

As most political parties get elected with anywhere between 35 and 40% of votes, I dont think any recent government has represented the "majority"

My vote is secret, and I haven't once said to you that I am going to vote conservative in the elections have I?

I'm not even a member of conservative future, so what makes you think I even really care about politics beyond discussing it on this forum every now and again.

Because I was curious, I asked a socialist politics student at my uni whether he'd vote for a party that represented the majority or whether he'd vote for his own interests, and he toyed with both ideas and still said his own, though we both agreed that if we were in a position of governance we would both try and represent everyone.

Although the entire population does not vote, everyone still has interests. The majority of the population does not vote, I wouldn't say otherwise, but unless they all shared the same view, the majority interest could still be represented by a party, though I'm sure I don't need to give people a lesson on fractions and percentages :p

I agree. It doesnt matter who thought up a good idea, if its right to do then do it.

However sometimes it could be difficult to represent everyone or even the majority. The big one would be Europe...In to play a bigger part in world politics, financial support etc ..or Out and retain local control, more independance etc..I expect the "majority" would have an opinion but not an informed one. Isnt this why we elected our MPs though, to make the right decisions for us ?

Re: Tory Tory Tory
 
I've been avoiding this thread because frankly the original post is quite pathetic. Luckily sensible members of the forum have steered the conversation in a somewhat more structured fashion.

Thankfully I am not old enough to have been alive in the 1970's but a lot of you are. We had a 3 day working week. Unelected union bosses were bringing the whole of manufacturing industry to a standstill, stopping every housewife, every child, every honest citizen from having the vital power they need to go about their daily lives.

The economy was in a dire state, inflation was incredibly high, they thought you could solve money problems by printing more. The government couldn't do anything, it didn't have any control of the unions at all.

In stepped Thatcher who had the guts to make a hard decision. She gave the power to the decent, honest trade union member who didn't want to go on strike, in contrast to the trade union bosses that sought to bring this country to a standstill. They were invading the sovereignty of our British Parliament. She sorted our inflationary problems, yes by temporarily increasing them, but massive economy changes have that affect. Look at what it achieved, what people have today that they didn't have then, I can't remember a blackout lasting more than an evening in my entire lifetime. Our economy was incredibly successful after her reforms, the money was created for Blair to pump into education, the NHS, the police. It is just a shame that the money has been, in the most part, wasted.

No, she wasn't everybody's cup of tea. Yes, she went about things very abrasively, but she did what was right for our country.

Mancie if you're looking for somebody to blame over University fees, look no further than the current government who have introduced top-up fees making it incredibly more expensive for me to attend University. Look no further than the current government who want to remove the cap, so I could be looking at paying upwards of £7,000 a year to get a degree level education.

As for the Conservatives today, its a different kettle of fish, tackling a different set of problems. I wish we could move in progress, forward rather than constantly having to talk about the past.

This is not 'Tory Propaganda'. I don't know about anyone else, but I air my views, if you don't like them, that's fine, but I am just as entitled as anybody else. I'll defend to the death anyone's right to a viewpoint.

Andrew, you mention Maggie, but since then I dont think the conservatives have had a leader or anyone within their ranks to compare. Say what you want about Blair, but he had the "gravitas" as a world leader, something Gordon doesnt have. I think this country is crying out for a true leader who has the guts to make a decision as you put it and do whats right not necessarily short term popular.

But who is it going to be ? All nowadays are faceless and the same as everyone else. I`m still waiting for someone who you think "yes he/she could do it".

I agree, I think in many ways Blair was a good leader. When I first saw Cameron speak I thought he was the one to be party leader. Whether he can translate this into being a good Prime Minister, I suppose time will tell if the country were to give him a chance.

At the moment we have the 42 Days Detention bill going on (there's a debate and vote tomorrow if anyone's interested). The majority of the population are in favour of increasing detention without charge from 28 to 42 days. Cameron and the shadow home secretary David Davis have been very vocally against it. I honestly think this shows true leadership. To stand up and call it when they believe our civil liberties and freedoms are being eroded with no justification. Not because it's going to win them votes, but because they think it is the right thing to do.

Milk stealer? Why should people who can afford to pay be given free milk? The socialist Labour government got rid of it for secondary schools, why are you not criticising them? In Hull Labour abolished Universal Free School Meals. Too right, why should somebody earning £100,000 a year get their sons and daughters meals and milk paid for? It makes sense to direct money to the people that need it.

I'm not rich and I'm definitely not selfish.Thank-you for judging me.

andrewb please refrain from talking about the 70's if the only information you have is from google as i simply cant pay any attention to what you have to say on the 70's seen as you wernt even born

its a bit like a 18 year old talking about how great or bad woodstock was

im sure this labour govenment has more than enough cockups that you can throw in mancie's face that you have actualy lived through ;)


just sayin the 70's wernt as bad as your post makes out because as far as im concerned they were a damn sight better than the 80's , 90's and even present day but then again im going off the fact that we had hot summers in summer and snow knee deep in winter which we dont get anymore :(

I see, well all mine are just quotes in jest, which I use to wind up my left wing friends.

Also Cmonstanley, I don't know when I have ever said that, so I don't really know what to say to it. Most of the Tory supporters I know aren't rich or middle class for that matter.

Of course you have to take issues as they come, not using the same logic across the board, common sense. As far as that is concerned, why should the super rich be getting child benefits? If all it includes is money then surely they can afford to pay for their own.

Hell, I've met a lot of the Tory hierarchy, and they just love these silly little blind mice, whose blinkered beavering away helps keep the rich rich, and the poor poor, and you're right they do look down on the party faithfull who don't have the right old school tie.

Thatchers father was a grocer. David Davis came from a single parent family living on a council estate. We already know the Labour party are not a party of aspiration though. What the heck is wrong with somebody putting their own effort in and working hard to make money?

Chimney sweeping? Do you live in the past or present? Milk will still be given to people earning £100k, by their parents. Why does the state need to provide it for them when the state could be directing that money where its needed. It makes sense.

I didn't say that at all Bernadette, of course that is not the case, I am sorry it came across like I was saying that. I was simply replying to cmonstanley who was criticising Conservatives saying only wealthy people support them, as if being wealthy is a bad thing. Along with the class warfare rubbish used in Crewe and Nantwich by Labour who labelled the local candidate a toff because his family have worked hard.

Again on that little proviso what else would they take away from those they thought could afford it?

Education? Sorry, you'll have to pay for your schooling, you're a doctor.

Health? Sorry, you'll have to pay for that chemotherapy privately, even though you've paid your N.I., we've decided you earn enough as a plumber to go private.

Where will it end?
