"Don't mention the War."
Or, rather, don't mention the party that is on 38 per cent, nine points ahead of the Prime Minister's party, 16 points ahead of the media darlings, and a whopping 27 points ahead of a party with five Cabinet Ministers.
It is also between seven and nine points ahead of the statistically tied Conservatives and UKIP for the European Elections. You know, the ones that UKIP was supposed to win.
In reality, and not least because no one any longer pays the slightest attention to Peter Mandelson, it is now well within Labour's grasp to top the poll in every mainland region in 2014. But no one in the media will mention that if it happens. Perish the thought.
UKIP will only win the Euros if the people have the sense to vote for the only party that advocates withdrawal, over three parties whose leaders advocate our continued slavery to the EU.
ReplyDeleteThe media love Ed Miliband and will propel him to power.
The ridiculous endorsement of his ridiculous 'One Nation' speech was proof of that.
As P.Hitchens wrote, "One Nation was always a fake; there is no 'one nation...Britain is plainly several nations".
There are the strivers and the takers, the taxpayers and the scroungers, those who save and those who spend, those who hate Britain and those who want it preserved.
We are many nations, and Mr Miliband's Labour represents the one that's been ruining Britain for 40 years.
There was no recession on the day of the last General Election.
ReplyDeleteThe media love Ed Miliband so much that they never mention him. Yet he is still going to win. The question is then what he does with it. That is where the rest of us come in.
We had the worst deficit in the world behind only Iceland and Greece, as a percentage of GDP-and the bond markets were preparing for a run on the pound.
ReplyDeleteYou are clueless, and embarassingly clueless, if you don't know what an economic basket-case Labour left us with.
"The question is, then, what he does with it".
We already know the answer. He's publicly committed to keeping us in slavery to Europe, maintaining the disaster of comprehensive anti-education, a welfare state that punishes the thrifty and rewards the unmarried and the idle, an unproductive public sector that swallows the wealth of the nation etc etc.
In other words, no changes there, then.
No, you are simply wrong about the economic facts. As quite a lot of the electorate realised at the time (where was that Conservative landslide?), and as everyone whose village library or bus service is no more, or whose Child Benefit has this day been revoked, realises now.
ReplyDeleteAt some point, there might be some coverage of the party that wins elections rather than of the party that comes second with fewer votes than the Conservatives got in those same seats in the 1980s.
You are demonstrably ignorant of the economic facts, and I can prove it all day long.
ReplyDeleteIf you think Cameron's failure to win outright had anything to do with the popularity of Labour's economic policies (hahaha), how come Labour got such a pathetic percentage of the popular vote?
Everybody has been losing votes since the 1980's-Labour has lost multi-millions.
Even John Major was elected with more votes in 1992, than Labour got with its supposed "landslide" in 1997.
And Labour won with the most derisory total in history in 2005.
"child benefit is revoked...bus service is no more"
That's clearly not because of 'cuts' since they don't exist-we're spending and borrowing more now than we were under Labour.
It's because Left-wing council bureaucrats and quangocrats are sacking librarians instead of sacking themselves, or cutting their enormous pay packets. Council spending power will fall by just 1.7% in 2013-14 according to official stats.
Look at the enormous recently-reported waste of taxpayers money by the supposedly "squeezed" councils of Sheffield, Newcastle and Liverpool.
They close libraries but advertise £87,000-a-year non-jobs in the Guardian Jobs Pages.
I thought this blog could see through the Great Cuts Myth.
Apparently not.
Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah.
ReplyDeleteBut the true voice of UKIP exposed, which is useful in itself. "The cuts do not exist"? With that one, your party will be lucky to exist at all by 2015.
The failure to win the 2014 European Elections was already going to damage you as much as the failure to win the independence referendum was going to damage the SNP.
Good day to you David, I trust this comment finds you well.
ReplyDeleteIt has been little noticed that the Electoral Registration and Administration Bill will return to the Lords next Monday, where Labour and Lib Dem lords will drive a further stake through the heart of the neo-liberal and anti-Conservative boundary review process (such a coincidence that the adulterer Strathclyde decided to resign shortly before this, wouldn't you say).
All this further strengthens the hand of those of us who yearn for the day when the One Nation Miliband/Umunna/Glasman triumvarite take the reins of power.
It has certainly been noticed by me.
ReplyDeleteThe notion that the global economic downturn is down to Labour is laughable. The only difference between Labour and the Tories was what to do with the cash during the good times. Labour choose to spend, the Tories argued for tax cuts. But either option would have left the deficit in the same place at the election. And to argue there are no cuts is a nonsense: our spend is going up, as a result of reduced tax returns/increased benefits as a result of cuts. But that does not mean the cuts aren‘t happening.
