Re: Brown asks Voters to give Labour a second look
 

Look forward to it Acidic-babs, but after criticising Janet Storey's suitability to be Mayor of Hyndburn, due to poor grooming, does Graham cut the sartorial mustard for you?

Re: Brown asks Voters to give Labour a second look
 

My personal view is that instead of propping up the banks we should have let them all collapse and have one big nationalised bank take over their affairs. The Post Office would have been secured forever if they had seized the opporunity to make it into a bank at a time of national panic.

The money that the NHS needs to radically improve is peanuts compared to that.

Re: Brown asks Voters to give Labour a second look
 

Ken: no you may not suggest a dose of my own medicine. I do not have a grudge against Labour, I disagree with the party, its ethos and it's shabby philosophy, I always have and probably always will. However, as you will see in due course, every politician, of whatever stripe or flavour gets an equal dose of my spleen, I have no favourites (why do you think I describe Britcliffe as the Idiot-in Chief?). The list, I admitted when I posted it, is partial. but contains most of the main complaints against the current Labour administration, so I would have thought that it would only be reasonable that anyone politically aware enough to consider standing for Parliament would have enough nouse to be able to answer them. Seems I was wrong.

It matters not one jot whether Pope stood down of his own accord or not except that it is probably the first thing that he has done of his own accord in the entire time he has represented the borough.

I do actually have quite a soft spot for Graham, believe it or not, it must be the chiselled northern good looks.:D:D:D

Re: Brown asks Voters to give Labour a second look
 

And just to make one thing clear, and to forestall any accusations of my being a Tory, arch or otherwise, rindy. Before we go any further let me say that there is only one person in this benighted country who may command my respect and loyalty as a right, and that is Her Majesty. The rest have to earn it. Sadly, most of them fail to.

Re: Brown asks Voters to give Labour a second look
 

Is this known as getting to grips with the subject or just dodging around without actually saying anything?

If it's the former or the latter, have you considered a career in politics? You should fit in quite well, (here's a tip though try the Labour party first they'll literally take anyone that walks in off the street).
:D

well please explain how she has earned it?:confused:

Re: Brown asks Voters to give Labour a second look
 

By being nice to her mum. When said mum asked her just who she thought she was. HM's reply is reported as "I'm The Queen, Mummy. I'm The Queen."

Re: Brown asks Voters to give Labour a second look
 

You hinted for my opinion on waiting lists and there it is. If that sort of money was going to be bandied about in an emergency then spend it on something the country desperately needs to sort out a chronic problem.

If the NHS had been sorted instead, two chronic problems could have been solved in one fell swoop by turning the Post Office into a national bank at the same time and we wouldn't have had half the national debt. Personal opinion, nothing more.

Re: Brown asks Voters to give Labour a second look
 

Thank you, you're most loyal, but please cease this public show of genuflection.

That's the best bow I've seen since Vanessa Redgrave bent so low at Sunday's BAFTAs, to Prince William, that her fringe brushed the stage.

Re: Brown asks Voters to give Labour a second look
 

I'm sure that had the topic been allowed to 'drift', as you so poetically put it, towards race & the BNP you would have had far more to say to stir the hearts of the every Englishman.

Is the NHS too difficult?

Perhaps we could start you on something a little easier....I know Council Tax, we can't have anything bad to say about that, after all it was announced today that this years increases will be the lowest this coming April.
BBC News - Council tax bills set for 'lowest rise' in April

:D

I am getting in practice, I have expectations of the Dissolution Honours List

Re: Brown asks Voters to give Labour a second look
 

Instead of all this hyperbole, why not just ask me whatever it is you're going round the houses to get out of me?

You keep coming back to race and the BNP as if it was me that 'manipulated' the thread but it was actually Neil that brought it up in post 29.

Re: Brown asks Voters to give Labour a second look
 

How very true, and it took until post #77 to 'drift' your way.

I replied with:-

Up until that point you had been rising in my opinion, but you let me down, you let the area down, but worst of all you let yourself down.

;)

We can argue till we are blue in the face (or red as the case may be) as to which party would be best suited to govern this god-forsaken and ungovernable island, but at the end of the day there is no getting away from the fact that the European Commission currently pulls the strings that we should have severed years ago.
