Stanley if continue to link Socialism with the last Labour government people will think you are more thick than they previously thought, which is itself is quite a feat.

Lord Duckhunter Posted 18 May, 2010 Share Posted 18 May, 2010 The Labour party abandoned Socialism when it was unpopular. Their motto now seems to be " You don't like our principles? here's another set" If their focus groups detect that Socialism is coming back into fashion, all of a sudden they'll be championing it again. Old Socialist's like Prescott get their heads turned by power and privilege and end up in the house of Lords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've at least got to hand it to Mandy for his ingenuity. The Tories have a big problem. Do they advertise how much hiden debt is really there, that could in turn upset the marketrs and the pound or do they stay stmn and try and work through it.

After sticking to Tory spending plans for 2 years, they went on a massive binge chucking our money about on themselves, their supporters and the marginal areas. It is my 10 year old son and 9 year old daughter and their children who are going to have to pay for this Labour Govt's mismanagement of the public finances. Whilst Mandleson, Blair, Brown, Campbell and the like enjoy a comfortable old age, doing a few lecture tours writting the odd book, the rest of us poor bloody mugs will be paying their credit card bill.

badgerx16 Posted 19 May, 2010 Share Posted 19 May, 2010 It seems he was only following historical procedent; "The letter recalls a similar note left by Tory Reginald Maudling to his Labour successor James Callaghan in 1964: "Good luck, old **** ...

badgerx16 Posted 19 May, 2010 Share Posted 19 May, 2010 (edited) I get the impression that all changes of Government involve such 'jokes' - the best one has to be the ( possibly apocryphal ) Clinton staff removing all the Ws from the keyboards when George Bush Jr took over the White House.

OldNick Posted 19 May, 2010 Share Posted 19 May, 2010 I assume you were on the anti-war protests as well then?Nope I was for the war with the evidence that was placed before us by our PM. Foolishly I accepted the evidence he put before the house was watertight. It was deception and the actions of somebody not fit to be our countries PM.
