well, stuff like taking (tricking) the country into war, killing civil servants who could prove they tricked us, invading Afganistan, fucking up the economy while making me (and you?) pay for the banks greed, employing a senior officer to advise on his specialist area and then sack him when the truth doesn't fit your spin, pretending to be labour (left wing) when really they're just torries in disguise. That kinda thing

labour are far from ideal and a bit right wing, but not half as bad as the tories. and most of the things you mentioned would have happened under the tories anyway, but worse.

I agree with T&B, they're not perfect.

But this statement from you tells me you're not worth having a discussion with.

Twat.

I would like to extend this advice to all the members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Regardless of what turd Cameron drops at the cinemas following Avatar, by all means: please DO NOT vote for Cameron.

The war that Labour backbenchers tried to revolt against, but found that it was passed with Tory co-operation (and was only seriously resisted by LD)? The think tank headed by a senior Tory which recommended going into Iraq on the basis of false information about WMDs?

Economy would've been fucked anyway (you can't predict a recession, you can only react to it), but putting money into the banks from public funds rather than leaving it to the markets to continue raping it (the Tory line) makes more sense to me (although I'd agree more stringent caps on things like pensions are needed)

We all live with national minimum wage now, something that again the Tories would leave to the markets to decide (and we've all read Das Kapital, we know what happens when markets are left to their own devices). Not 'left' left-wing, but certainly left of the Tories.

Senior adviser bit I've got nothing on, but it's hardly privatising everything in sight and steamrollering over trade unions, is it?

Glice 05.06.2010 04:49 AM

tl;dr - Labour might be cunts, but don't be fooled into thinking they're somehow the same as the Tories.

radarmaker 05.06.2010 04:52 AM

Is it too early to start drinking heavily?

Glice 05.06.2010 05:03 AM

Never. Especially if you're in Geordieland.

recessions are an inevitable part of our economy so blaming anyone is kind of beside the point, but just to make things clear it was the tories who started the derugulation of the banks in the first place.

NB. that isn't really an FYI for Glice, more of an addition to what he was saying.
