Subject: RE: BS: Fireman's Strike UK
I would rather have a labour government than any tory administration...they by their very nature are just money grabbing greedy so and so's The one redeeming feature of labour is that they are largely funded by the unions....Alas politics is such a dirty business,but I cannot help but think that Tony Blair is fundamentaly a decent person,I think he has made rather too many decisions designed to satisfy the politicaly correct brigade and his government has been weakened by appointing the wrong people to key posts in his cabinet...such as a man who relies upon brail to make the countries law(it would be laughable if it wasnt true) how can a man who relies upon a dog to guide him down the street be able to fully understand and see the anarchic forces of drug culture,gun law,unfettered immigration not to mention how to keep a hand on possibly the worlds most devious secret service (MI5/MI6)and rampant threats of terrorism on the British mainland.. on top of that he is just about as charmless a politician as one could find..then theirs Mr Prescot apparently given the task of sorting out this most vital of industrial disputes who based upon his success rate so far as a cabinet minister is only kept in his post to apparently appease the union block vote into believing that our Oxford educated Tony can tolerate a few rough and ready working class types in his government...let him go Mr Blair our Johnny is a liability i'm afraid...then theirs women ministers such as Ms Estelle Morris who patently couldnt hack the job they were appointed to..I doubt she was much good as a teacher either..I had one or two dowdy teachers like her in my schooling days,and they were a dead loss....and lets please not mention Mr Stephen Byers who has become synonomous with "Liar"...I myself will probably vote Liberal Democrat at the next election...although I cant stand their leader "Peter perfect" Mr charles Kennedy,but they despite their middleclass core seem to be putting forward most of the rational policies these days it would be lovely to see them given a chance,but whatever happens to get our society back on an even keel we need the price of residential accomodation controled...if your local greengrocer suddenly started charging five pounds per spud and called it market forces he'd be lynched why is it we allow unfettered greed to control the price of the very roofs over our head....if this single issue was properly addressed then many other seemingly unending blights upon the quality of the ordinary persons life would dissipate
