I suppose I'm right-wing on some issues and centre-left on others. I would say I'm on the right-wing of the Labour Party. I don't like the nannying, I don't agree with certain benefits being paid to people who won't work out of choice, I think our borders are policed very poorly, and we are letting in too many people at a time when our public services are creaking at the seams. I won't go on, but I would say I'm a bit of a mix. It would be fair to say I am very suspicious of the Tories, and the labour laws they would repeal.

Who are you calling a lefty! I disagree with parts of the Tory manifesto, so that makes me a lefty?
-
I still think the election could go either way. The Tories don't seem to be running away with it, and their manifesto is disappointing. They will be relying a lot on Murdoch's newspapers. The Sun, in particular, is slightly demented at the moment and making a fool of itself. Trevor Kavanagh is nuts. My gut reaction is the Tories will beat Labour, but may fall short of a majority. Out of the three parties so far, I am most impressed with the Lib campaign, although they won't get my vote. In Clegg, Cable and Huhne theyhave three very impressive campaigners. Maybe a hung Parliament wouldn't be a bad thing.
-
I think it's sensible not to be grilled by Paxo. Clever move by Clegg to speak to him while the election campaign is in its infancy, and will be largely forgotten by May 6th. Not such a good move to be ritually humiliated closer to the vote. I'm looking forward to the leaders debates.

It's a recipe for disaster. I like the claim that you can veto council tax rises (set by your democratically elected council). What a load of PR spin/bullsh*t from Mr PR Cameron.
-
John Denham, put principles before his career, is very approachable, and has given up a fair bit of time for a charity my wife works for. Mike Han**** - very good speaker. Dennis Skinner Vince Cable James Purnell - hope he comes back. I always thought he was PM material.

The rich won't. They'll be getting away with loads of inheritance tax. My point really, is that Cameron stated that he was for the 'hard-working silent majority'. The fact that he is rimming my wallet twice, while giving tax-cuts to the rich suggests same old Tories to me. Labour have gone into detail. It was called the Budget.

We play a bit of hoofball away from home, when we should be imposing ourselves with our passing and power up front. Against Wycombe we looked very ordinary, and I wouldn't mind wagering that we play similar tactics away against similar opposition.
-
Dune, the reason we are in sh*t street, is because the Tory boys in the City and Wall Street are a load of chancing greedy bastards who have had to be bailed out by the taxpayers. Cameron gets in and I lose my child benefit, and will have to pay the extra 1% NI as I earn over £35k. Thanks for nothing. I suppose if my family had an estate worth millions I would be OK. So much for looking after the 'silent majority'.

I am a little confused by your comment. They yanks make yet another monumental ****-up, and this means that British voters shouldn't vote Labour? I can't quite see the link. -
No, do you have kids?
-
Well go and live there then. I would rather live in a country that at least tries to get scumbag dealers in prison.
-
He keeps scumbag drug-dealers, who get kids addicted, in business.
-
Murdoch's papers are going overboard in their support for the Tories. They've even got the soldier with a VC on the payroll now.

Saw Duncan Norvelle and Giant Haystacks coming out of the toilets holding hands with big smiles on their faces. -
I can see both points of view. In my opinion, if Walsh had a deal on the table that could stop this he is foolish to take it off the table while the airline is dying a death. The union, and members, were daft to go straight to strike action while the deal was there. Both sides need their heads banging together, but I must say it seems to me that Walsh is being the most pig-headed. I don't know about the different pay in different airports, and equality in gender pay is a whole different argument. I am annoyed at your perception of unions bullying their members into strike action. It is the members who vote for it (thinking for themselves when they cast their vote).
-
Antonio, Lallana, Lambert and Fonte played well. Thought Hammond and Wotton were crap.
-
Superb, straight into the arms of the Tories. What a stupid comment, if true.
-
You seem ignorant to the democratic workings of a Trade Union. They don't tell people what to do, they do what their members tell them. Maybe if you didn't look down on people, with that myopic view you have, you would understand that.

miserable jock c*nt

You make a fair point. Geneva just gets my goat when he goes on about the sacrifices he makes in his job.
-
Forget it. He just believes everything his Tory boy workmates tell him.
-
Yes, but you're an overpaid bank worker whose employer contributed to the fiasco that has f*cked it up for everyone else. If I were you I'd keep schtum. Not many people would sympathise if overpaid parasites went on strike.

I couldn't possibly confirm nor deny that.
