Does this video link just sum up labour government?

Question

"Another fine mess"

I was a kid in 79 does the UK have to deal with putting it politely "fine mess" after all labour administrations?

Answer 1

Yeah pretty much , I think their only saving grace in the seventies was at least back then they were a socialist party , or at least thought they were and their mistakes were down to weakness and naivety .



What the f**k is Blair and Browns excuse ?

Answer 2

The election is over, you can stop campaigning now. I suspect that in a few years time people will wish Labour were still in power. If it had just been our country that was in recession then your statement would have some merit, but it is a global recession, not caused by Labour, but caused by the banks. People spout on about the deregulation of the banks being the cause, but the Tories wanted even less regulation so we would have been in the same boat if they had been in power, meanwhile we have new schools, new hospitals, help for pensioners, minimum wage, Surestart and much more. So far from this Condumb coalition we have abolition of child trust funds and free schools meals, 1% NI rise for employees only, and expected rise in VAT to at least 20% with some predicting as high as 25% and abolishing of schemes to help people get back into work. There is now a very real chance we will have a double dip recession because this government is taking a difference stance to any other government around the world by cutting to soon and removing the stimulus from the economy before it has recovered.

Answer 3

Well. The link has it just about right for the present day labour party. Just after the second world war when the soldiers coming home made up most of the labour supporters things were pretty good from them. Now with this So-called Nu-labour all we get from it is greed, incompetence, and total failure. It started to crumble as the real labour party in the mid 60's and now doesn't hold any concept or appearance of true labour. This is most especially true of the last 13 years. I'd agree they are just about unelectable now and as the real truth comes out about what they did and tried to do to us as a nation they will become totally unelectable. That is except in Scotland where most of their handouts and economic advisors came from or went to. They should all be stripped of the money they have and the property empires they built through greed and the destruction of this nation.

Answer 4

Definitely sounds about right. I was 13 in 79 and it was just the same then as now - a Labour adminstration leaving the country in deep financial doo-doo and now it's going to be painful. Labour are SO lucky they didn't get voted back in to deal with it.



Cameron isn't Thatcher - he's a "one-nation Tory" which she wasn't - so he's going to be nicer about it, but there's no escaping the reality. Labour have done some really good things like giving us the NHS and the Open University (both of which I have benefited from) but they're past the sell-by date. Talking of which, who would you like to see as their next leader? I go with Ed Balls for the same reasons as Guido - it'll make them unelectable! http://order-order.com/2010/06/12/ellie-and-guido-want-balls4leader/

Answer 5

i think of it somewhat is an extension of the poodle tactic in taking a stand way too late against Muslims. in the past a determination became made that we are to have a multi racial, multi cultural society. i do no longer desire to remark on whether it is acceptable or incorrect however the government of at present desires to the two unquestionably help that concept or be uncomplicated adequate to declare that they no longer desire that. quite of being uncomplicated, the government is now preaching equality, tollerance and integration with freedom to persist with regardless of faith one chooses yet abruptly determining that religious symbols like Muslim veils are 'devisive' and that 'Britishness' now desires to income in colleges. they are asserting they are going to be coaching that Britishness now stems from different international places besides as our very own yet that it will incorporate British historical past, historic previous and way of existence. Frankly i do no longer think them. i think of that it is going to likely be greater nationalism taught below the conceal of integration. a minimum of Hitler and Stalin stood up and pronounced what they believed in and that i desire that the alternative became no longer the form of sly hypocracy we've.

Answer 6

That looks and sounds about right - From across the "Pond".
