The focus has been on the complete mess that they made of our economy.

The total waste of tax payers money has left the UK with so much debt that we simply cannot afford to properly care for those in need – there are just so many of them now!

But what did the education system do to our youth? Labour policies made ‘adults’ out of children. They introduced a massive divide between adults and children.

Labour policies taught children that they had the ‘right” to behave as they wanted, that they could do as they wanted and that  adults / parents / authorities had no right  to tell them what to do!

We now have a lawless sub-class in our society – ruined and damaged children who will mostly grow up to be ruined and damaged adults.

We clearly don’t need so many police since they don’t actually do anything in riot situations.

I was impressed at how they could all get dressed up in their protective riot gear and then just stand and watch these moronic youth smashing and burning cars and shops!

Where were the water cannon, the dogs, the rubber bullets, tear gas??

It looked to me like the police made a decision not to take any action in case they annoyed these rioters!  Or did the police believe that the rioting would stop if the police didn’t get involved?

It is clear from events over the last 40 years that Labour stands for one thing only. That is the desire/need to spend all the UK’s money and to tax us all significantly more simply because Labour needs to keep spending!

This urge to SPEND is at the heart of Labour. Just look at history!

Either the IMF come in to fix the economy following a Labour government OR the Conservatives have to sort out the UK economy which a subsequent Labour government simply bankrupts again!

People might not mind this inbuilt desire for Labour to bankrupt us every time they are in power IF we got some long term benefits from it. But we don’t!!

In fact we are nearly always left far worse off financially following a Labour government!

Note to Ed Milliband:  The problem that you have is that Labour almost bankrupted the UK last time in power and it will be difficult to exceed this achievement when you next get into power.

But I am sure that the next Labour government will find a way!!!

But it is blatantly obvious to everyone, except those with a separate agenda, that Clegg could NOT expect the Conservatives to adopt all the LibDem policies.

The Libdems are lucky to get ANY of their policies adopted – they could not get into power on their own!

But note that the leaders of these protests were at first all carrying socialist and trade union banners.

These are the people who started the protest and they are simply trying to attack the Conservative government by damaging the coalition.

Many of those well-intended students are politically naive and have been taken advantage of by the socialists.

Put the blame for this chaos where it really belongs, that is on the trade unions and Labour.

They have been drawn into an attack on the Tory government by the socialists. Many of those leading the demonstrations had Labour or socialist banners.

Labour doesn’t have the moral ground to attack the government on the issue of student finance. They introduced the concept of student loans in the first place and had planned similar changes to those proposed by the current government.

And the only reason we need to increase the cost of student loans in the first place is because Labour almost bankrupted the UK in its 13 years of power! Our government needs to implement financial cuts and increase revenues because of the awful Labour government that was voted out of power a short time ago.

Many of these students need to grow up a bit and take the trouble to understand how they are being used by the opponents to the Conservative government!

The man who took us into several wars on very dubious, if not misleading, grounds, and we are still in Afghanistan taking causalities.

So how will Blair help Brown? He is just visiting, I wouldn’t have thought that Blair was going to give up all that money he was earning! He might give encouragement to a few wavering Labour supporters, but nothing has changed regarding the total mess that Brown, and Blair and Labour have made of the UK economy whilst in power.

Do we believe Tony Blair now when he tells us stuff? I don’t. Not since he told us that Iraq could bomb us in 40 minutes!

Blair and Brown – the team that removed the controls over the banks and allowed them to take the risks that led to the credit crunch and the bank failures.

All in all, the presence of Blair will remind us of so much negative stuff about Labour being in power and wars and debt and the near collapse of the UK economy, etc., that most people will not vote for Gordon!

Why is simple common sense and good sanitary practice being sacrificed on the alter of appeasement to Islam????

The poor, lower paid have of course been the focus of the the last 12 years of New Labour in government?

Actually NO! Labour have failed to look after the lower paid. They have failed to support their union friends.

Living standards for the poor are worse now than 12 years ago.

Child poverty, despite the money spent on it, is as bad as it ever was.

Education standards are lower in state schools!

New Labour like their millionaire friends, to have (several) expensive houses, to be photographed with important people, to jump when the USA tells them to!

New Labour have no right to claim that they care for the poor. The traditional left-wing Labour MPs appear to have been sidelined!

Blair and Brown and many of their ministers would appear to be only interested in living the high life! Now the chickens are steadily coming home to roost and New Labour are beginning to understand that they have isolated themselves from almost all areas of society.

An example of Brown and Labour putting themselves before the country is the refusal of this government to stand down now and have an election.

The UK is in desperate straits. The finances are shot. The debts are huge and will take years to pay back. Public Services are being cut. Decisions are being taken by a government whose focus is on surviving the next six months.

How can that be good for the UK? We need decisive action and long term decision making. Whilst New Labour hang on to power looking for ways to survive, they are putting the interests of the UK after the interests of the country!

Looks to me like education on the cheap!

I would guess that this initiative is to get as many children out of the schools so they they can use the spaces for other children. Saves them from building new schools or expanding existing schools!

Does this initiative really come from a government which is forcing ALL under 18s to go back to school? Quote from Ed Ball’s website:

‘Take our commitment to fund a place at school, college or in training for every 16- and 17-year-old who wants one.

Not much of a commitment if the kids (of all ages) can choose to stay at home!!!

But how many parents are actually at home during the day now? Can children really stay away from school to work at home if there are no parents there.

They won’t be able to have other adults (other than family members) care for the children because that would then be a school and need all sorts of red tape including registering to prove that the helpers are not sex offenders!

Another real issue is that the school buses only operate at certain times of the day. Children cannot necessarily get into school to attend these ‘certain lessons’ during the day that Balls talks about. And then how do they get home? New Labour strategists do not seem to have thought of that!

There is of course the possibility that this is being used to attack parents who genuinely and sincerely educate their children at home already! This may be an attempt to force these people to send their children into school for these ‘certain lessons’. Could this work? Home-educated children are not necessarily following the same curriculum as the state schools. This stands every chance of disrupting the whole home-education process.

The chances are that these ‘certain lessons’ will not be maths, science, English etc. It will be really interesting to see which ‘certain lessons’ that New Labour propose as mandatory. I bet that it will be the social, religious and lifestyle lessons.

I really do get the impression that no one in Labour really knows what is going on, that the ship is rudderless! Or they are not being open about what they are trying to do!
