Brown is an Idiot, Vote for New Ideas

Yes it does make her a bigot I think. It is a no exceptions view that foreigners bring only problems or are entirely undesirable. People often look for somewhere to lump their blame to, and in her case it's all gone wrong because of the influx of Polish people. It hasn't all gone wrong because of the Polish so it is a bigoted view.

I watched it at the time and thought it was a bit of a nothing story which would be huge news for a short time then disappear. My only negative view was being mortified at that lummox's mortification. How cringing it was to see the fleet of dark cars all cruising back into a Rochdale council estate and Gordy grovelling like the creep he probably is.

Leaders should be strong, not crawling on their belly like a scolded dog. He said his view and should stick by it. When asked if he thought she was a bigot, he should have replied "Yes I do, and a bitch".

He's such a useless PM I might even vote for him :D

Presumably "Eastern Europeans" fall into one of those categories.


PS Tink showed me where to find that definition ;)




That makes all politicians bigots then? So now Brown's a hypocrite as well:D



What I was trying to say was that by that definition the lady could be classified as a bigot.

I saw where you were coming from but it still doesn't alter the fact that GB ballsed up big time. Is this really what he thinks about anyone who dares to raise the immigration topic? My view is it probably is. Thing is he doesn't have the guts to say it.

Oh well - next Thursday is D day and hopefully he will be looking for a new job Friday.

Just watched a very un-scientific survey done by Sky news, they got 7 people to watch last nights debate and 7 people to listen to it on the radio, all were undecided voters, they had to take notes and then vote on who won.

people watching it on tv 6 Clegg  1 Brown

people listening 6 Brown 1 Cameron

as I said previous people need to listen and read not watch

A little trip down memory lane....

- devastation of British manufacturing industry
- end of Apprenticeships creating mass youth unemployment
- unemployment at highest ever - what was it about 4million
- inflation out of control
- sold off profit making government assets (exc. British Rail) to make a quick buck for their already rich mates and putting millions out of work - profits that used to go back into our economy and pay for public services
- interest rates at highest ever 15%+
- highest ever number of home repossessions and increase in homelessness
- businesses going bankrupt - something to do with those high interest rates
- refusal to introduce minimum wage
- tax cuts for the rich and that ain't you and me: we got bought off with a few sweeties from British Telecom etc
and this is the really big one in my view
- the deregulation of the Financial Markets hand in hand with Ronald Reagan. Today we see the results of letting an unaccountable City and Wall Street police themselves

Let us not forget

Margaret Thatcher the milk snatcher and much much more

Norman Tebbitt the man who told us to 'get on on our bike'

A week is a long time in politics but beware, the next 4 years will seem like 40 if you let these cowboys back in...

Labour isn't perfect (who is) but Gordon Brown is a very clever man and personally I think he is quite cute - who the hell else is there that can sort out the economic mess the roots of which can be traced back to the 20 devastating years of sleazy Conservative governments

I was surprised to hear Cameron say this week that "We need to get this country making things again". That from the party who decimated our manufacturing sector.
