Tory Tory Tory
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. |
Re: Tory Tory Tory
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. |

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.

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 ;) |
Re: Tory Tory Tory
I'm not trying to win anything, and as for name calling.. it's sticks and stones eh?
I believe the Tories are evil, that's my view and I don't see why I should pussyfoot around them. |

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. |

Re: Tory Tory Tory
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!

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) |

Absolutely agree garinda! I know somebody who had a perfectly acceptable offer for a building recently, pushed to have the offer enlarged, got refused, and his business went bust shortly after, pure greed and just deserts imo, the same as is going to happen to many who falsely expanded house prices, the sellers and estate agents, 'make hay while the sun shines?' the ones who did are going to find its raining for some time!

Re: Tory Tory Tory
The Conservatives made mistakes, they got voted out
Why shouldnt Labour face the same threat with the mistakes they are making. And as for personal threatening pms, if someone has to resort to making them to argue a point, dont bother arguing it |
Re: Tory Tory Tory
I agree with you too onlyme, Labour should be voted out, but should the conservatives be voted in? I dont think they deserve it either!

Shall we all start a common sense party ? You know policies like...If you get life in prison, you serve life not 5 years ..... If you steal something you pay it back, even if it means you have to suffer hardship.....

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. |

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 |

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. |
Re: Tory Tory Tory
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". |

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. |
Re: Tory Tory Tory
thatcher the leader who sold off all the family silver and made billions for the few and destroyed the infrastucture of a country yea great leader thatcher the milk snatcher.taking free milk off the school children the mark of a great leader .thatcher the champion of the selfish.unions and strikes were not confined to just britain it was a sign of the time in the world.thatcher who used the police for her own political gains nothing short of facism.she created the boom and bust that we have now.your saying thatcher was good for this country your havin a laugh.its time to take stock if you dont like what new labour are doing join them and change them, its time to change them from the inside.i will never be a tory or a pretend tory.im not rich or selfish enough.

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 was only 10 after all ;-) |
