The Tories simply want to protect the vested interests of the ruling elite. You could argue that New Labour did the same but at least they gave some crumbs to the poor. This lot want to keep the crumbs as well.

I think your avatar has more brains than you

I can see you are going to be a popular contributer to the site, even groove will seem like a deep thinker in comparison to you.

Now, heres a few tips, don't go dashing off in a huff straight away with some run of the mill insult generalising us as a pile of bigotted barstewards.
Before you do that, start your own thread, stick to it, do not diversify by posting in any other thread, jump on anyone that dares to post in that thread, (after all it IS you're thread), even if they are daft enough to agree with you.
You will know when it's time to leave because you will discover the words, 'I am banned', beneath your user name, that is when you should leave.

Come on, stop beating about the bush and say what you really think!

I thought we did quite well in the 19th century, before Labour were a glint in your eye, since they invented themselves we seem to have generally gone downhill.

Tories funded by big business and The City. Labour funded by Union subs from ordinary working people. Says it all really.

I go on the basis of who I would rather go to the pub with. A Tory MP or a Labour MP?

Margaret Pilkington · 18-12-2011, 19:03

Is Labour still funded by those union subs?
And the days when the Labour party looked after the working people has long gone......Socialism doesn't exist any more...but I suppose that has slipped your notice.

Margaret Pilkington · 18-12-2011, 19:08

The political parties are all the same.........they are in it for their own benefit. The only time the electorate matter is when there is an election pending....and then we, the general public are fawned upon,and lied to by those of all parties.
Didn't you read about the expenses scandal? Those Labour MP's who were screwing us for expenses(just like the tory ones) were taking the money that you paid in taxes.....not much loyalty to the working class there, was there?

What if the Tory M.P. Was a wealthy alcoholic that didn't mind who he drank with so long as he could have a good time & was generous enough to insist on picking up the tab. Whilst the Labour M.P. Was a Ttotal methodist with strict rules about supping the devils brew?

I think I know who I'd be having a good time with, we'd probably be having so much fun we wouldn't have time to talk politics anyway.

Yes, thank goodness for the invention of man-made fabrics, and cheap foreign Labour.
