Labour or New Labour, UK political party

I find the reporting by Sky to be a bit severe on the Home Secretary.
I would expect Labour to present everything in a negative way and totally ignore their own failure to have secure UK borders whilst in power for 14 years! And they did not disappoint me!!
The crux of the matter would seem to be that Clark told his boss that he had exceeded ministerial instructions. That is why his boss (Whiteman) suspended him.
Everything else is smoke and mirrors and political opportunity by Labour.
It is also interesting to have revealed how badly Labour had managed(!) the UK border security whilst they were in power!

Some people are attacking the current government over the UK economy. They tend not to mention at all the huge mess that 14 years of Labour has caused the UK.
The trade unions are complaining about the UK economy. Strange that – they obviously expect people not to know the the Trade Unions own the Labour party and are therefore themselves responsible for the awful state of our economy!
Labour even took over with the ‘golden inheritance’ and Labour still spent all the money and left the UK population with massive debts to pay off!
Do people expect the current government to continue to spend money as the last lot did?
I am not well off! Should I keep borrowing and to hell with the consequences?
Should I cheat and steal from people who have got the things that I want? Should I try to con someone else out of their possessions?
Of course some people in the UK are well off. Best of luck to them. I hope they choose to spend their wealth to help others. But it would be wrong to make them do this!
Many people in the UK are suffering because of the actions of the last government. I just hope that we don’t go the way of Greece!!!

We really do need an inquiry into how much licence payers money is going into social engineering by the BBC.
They are in a position to influence many aspects of our society and they are making political and social changes that they believe in.
I don’t agree with many things that they have done recently with my, and others, licence fees. They should be forced to ask permission from the public before making changes. This could be done using polls.
I am not sure that I can actually trust their news broadcasts now!
How many items are being reported with a slant that suits the BBC or not broadcasted because they did not agree with what was to be broadcast?

It would have been a lot better for us all if the last Labour government, which Milliband was a member of, had shown competence and ability in managing the UK economy!!!!
But they didn’t and we are all in a very difficult mess now, which can only become worse as time goes on!
Milliband has made the credibility of his leadership of the Labour party worse by bringing in many of the last failed government as shadow ministers.
Who can believe that they could succeed in the future when they have such a track record of failure already!

I never understood why the Labour government took 15,000 trained and qualified police off the work of policing our streets and giving them desk jobs!
They seemed to then employ more people to become police and spent loads of our money training them.
Surely it would seem to have been more sensible to have left the trained police doing their job, which is policing, and trained the newcomers to be admin staff.
It would certainly have been cheaper!!!
But I never understood why Labour did much of what they did. I thought that their policies were mostly rubbish then, and since Labour were chucked out of power it has become obvious that I was right!!
I would guess that this is why Cameron can claim to be able to reduce police staffing and still have more police on the streets (and hopefully fewer trained police in admin roles!).

The true legacy of Labour is becoming more clear as time goes on.
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.

I have just heard Hazel Blears talking about these ‘thugs’ who need to be dealt with ‘properly’, and the ‘generations’ of criminals in families.
These concerns were simply IGNORED by Labour over the last forteen years!! All sensible people knew that bad behaviour needs to be punished BUT Labour did not allow children to be punished. They had armies of do-gooders who made EXCUSES for bad behaviour of children. Courts could not deal properly with teenagers and youngsters who were basically out of control. A whole generation of children were taught by Labour’s incompetent social policies that they could behave AS THEY WANTED with no fear of consequences. Even if they were caught these children would often receive benefits such as holidays. In my view Labour’s economic and social policies have damaged the UK severely!

Those people who are due to retire are beginning to realize that the pensions that they have paid for over the years are not going to be enough to live on!
I just hope that they remember why our pensions are going to be so poor for years to come.
Gordon Brown and Labour introduced a tax on pensions which has significantly reduced the values of our pensions.
Why did he do this? Was it just a deliberate political attack on the middle classes?
But he knew what he was doing and he knew the consequences for peoples pensions! People are beginning to realize now that they are going to have problems when they retire. Many will have to work for longer.
The damage that Labour did to our economy will have ramifications for all of us for years to come!

The unions and the Labour party need to learn the financial lessons that Greece is now going through! Labour totally messed up the UK economy in their time in power!!
Yet the unions, who own labour, want to have their cake and eat it!!
The unions striking for more money and less cuts is so, so cynical. The Labour party caused the financial problems in the UK yet they don’t want any consequences of their own actions to affect themselves and their members.
The trade union members did not cause the problems BUT they voted for the people who did! The cuts have to be made or the UK will go the way of Greece. Doesn’t anyone in Labour remember the consequences of the IMF running the UK after a previous Labour government bankrupted the UK economy?
I hate this greedy, selfish attitude of the trade unions. As long as they are OK it doesn’t matter what happens to anyone else!!!

It is quite amusing to see all these people complaining about libdems breaking their promises. They know that these pledges were given as part of the Libdems election campaign.
These complainers know that these pledges cannot be implemented unless the Libdems are elected.
I would guess that most of these people are Labour supporters trying to break the coalition, or they really do not understand the political facts of life!
The UK owes the LibDems a favour for keeping Labour out of power. Just look at the immense damage that Labour did under Blair and Brown.
Most of the Labour ministers are the same ones who were in the last government. Could anyone actually trust Labour not to complete the job and actually bankrupt the UK if they got back into power?
I wouldn’t!
