Re: brown just go.
Since the mid seventies people have been encouraged to take out private pensions, so a to subsidise state retirement pension. So what happens the Iron Chancellor then takes charge in 1997 and subsequently started to rob the pension funds to the tune of £5 billion per year. I know some one who retired was worse of by £65 per week on their projected final pension settlement, thanks to that thieving useless Scotsman:(

I always talk to people at the bus stop and I've always found people seem to be happy for their bus pass but complaining about things that are more likely to affect their health. And please don't tell me that I will understand in 40 years, I pay a hell of a lot of money for my bus pass each year, not to mention public transport in general, and the most I get is a 1/3 off train fares. If I don't understand how valuable the ability is to travel by now then I might as well just give up. I think people are a bit naive in the UK about seeing their friends and family day in day out like it is a god given right to do that. There are so many people in the world that would kill to see their family members just once a week. That, for many people is just a couple of quid. Yes, it might mean you miss a meal, but you'd happily pay it if you'd rather have a bus pass than a warm house in winter. I've seen my mum about 3 weeks of this pass academic year and I have to work two jobs over Summer to be able to afford the luxury of a bus pass when I go back to uni, otherwise I'd never be able to afford to leave campus without walking for an hour into town, then an hour back. Never mind being able to afford to get home. You just have to make friends closer to your home and families should perhaps be paying to go see you if they're not having to depend on the pittance of pensions. But yes, maybe I'll understand in 40yrs when I'm 60. I'd like to think I'd choose a warm house or a good meal over a bus pass though, just like I do now. |

On the ballot paper it said Labour Party Candidate. I do not think you are not giving voters much credit for thinking for themselves. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3491/...640f68cc2b.jpg Carpetbaggers Jaysay? What is your view then on Paul Barton and Tony Dobson (both from Ossy) representing Barnfield? Neither have any connection with Barnfield outside of Tony's business interests in the town centre. Or the Barnfield Newsletter which they put out which IIRC does not have Conservative on it. |
Re: brown just go.
Of course people will see you're Labour when they reach the polling booth. The question is why are you not telling them far in advance? I recall receiving a leaflet from you which had no mention of Labour not even the logo on it. I've seen your first leaflet to Immanual ward which again lacks any sign of Labour in the candidates election address and again in the lack of logo.
What are you so ashamed of? Every Conservative piece of literature I've received has had the logo on, it is certainly not on all Labour stuff. Very deceptive. |

If the UK followed the pattern of the old USSR, the whole wretched cabinet would be put before a firing squad . . . and rightly so.

I don't normally declare when I've handed out reputation, but I thought this was fantastic! I certainly agree. There is a group trying to get a referendum on the current electoral system. Perhaps futile but nice to see people uniting to say that they aren't happy. Home | Vote for a Change |
