Subject: RE: BS: Condems get a kicking in Barnsley
"the Lib/Dems lost it when Clegg sold his soul to the tories for a few minutes in power."
And Labour 'lost it' when they wasted 13 years in power! Give me one good reason why I should vote Labour?
And I experience no qualms whatsoever about insulting Labour and Labour supporters. That's all they deserve! 13 years they had to build a truly progressive democracy - and look at the mess they made!
Does the list need repeating?
- A greater social divide that even under the Torys.
- Massive house price inflation such that young people can no longer afford a house.
- A massive assault on our civil liberties.
- Failure to regulate the banks and Big Business.
- Everything enveloped in a grossly over-complicated and pointless 'box ticking' bureaucracy.
- A complete disregard for the environment - which suffered badly as a result.
- The scandal of MP's expenses which Labour allowed to happen under its nose.
- An illegal war in Iraq which led to thousands of innocent lives being lost.
Need I go on?
My dear old Dad, who was a sheet-metal worker, not a teacher, university lecturer or social worker living in a big , expensive house, like many Labour supporters round here, always believed that Labour was a bunch of hypocritical shits. And to think I used to argue with him - how right he was!
