Far too quiet in here, Adam and Clive not screaming abuse at me, lets get some action going on, I will take the first punch, IDS, say no more, Vote Labour, they represent more than 1% of the population :biggrin:
Labour support at least 1 60th of the country, thats the amount of people surviving on food banks lol

That's the way to get' likes' from me , double post the same comment , and I will like it twice.Hum.. Labour say they will support anyone who will vote from them and then leave them high and dry.

Why the assumption that anyone who has used a food bank will vote Labour?
And who are these people branding everyone on a low income as 'workshy'?
To stress here I haven't truely decided but she didn't convince me that Labour had anything to put on the table that would actually make a difference...
Either you are too young to remember the Thatcher government or choose to ignore the policies and results of said policies. I suggest you do a little history research......It was the Tory government that started a culture of welfare dependency......They wanted everyone out of the coal mines/steel works ect and onto the sick....so they could massage the unemployment figures.I pointed to a house over the road and said how are you going to get the dopehead scroat off benefits and into work as he has an attitude that benefits are a way of life and not a helping hand to those in real need, noting as well it was under Labour that this systematic abuse of benefits was created.... she said she cannot comment on individual cases - i said OK any scum like him then in general ..... pause (No answer given)

Not just that but the policy of "stuff industry" has created whole communities of hopelessly lost and unemployed....even unemployable (In their current state) people all over the country....but this tends to be worse north of Watford.
It matters not that this was all done in the 1980's.....nothing has been done by successive governments to fill the gap. They said we can't subsidise the coal/steel industry....but we are happy to subsidise people to languish at home on dole/sick money. They never saw what was obvious......humans need to be active or they tend to self destruct. Check the rise in drug use since the early 80's.
All of that said New Labour did not do anything about it when they were in power.....but lets not forget that they did not "start" this destruction.
Bedroom tax is to be scrapped under a labour government - that is a policy and if she does not know that then it is her that is clueless im afraid.
I don't like the labour party at this point in time. I do like the idea of coalitions which will keep the big 2 parties in check.
I also think MP's should be from the locality say stayed there for 20+years minimum and still reside there and of a certain age 40+ ?
I also think that Mp's should conduct their business from their constituency and "most" of the parliamentary stuff could be done over skype or the like. Secure voting online for members bills and the like. Save a bloody fortune.
I also think the whole country should be able "if they wish" to vote online. Also voting booths at universities and maybe even shopping centres.
