Labour or New Labour, UK political party

The Bank of England governor says that they should have done more to prevent the economic policies of the last Labour government from bring the UK economy to its knees!
Unfortunately we also had an economic illiterate government which appeared to have little understanding of how to run a country.
How any government could believed that simply spending money and incurring such massive debts was actually a credible economic policy is beyond me.
Labour must have had so many warnings from the civil servants and the government advisers and completely ignored them all.
In my view their actions bordered on criminal negligence!
Yet the majority of the labour ministers are now in the shadow cabinet and are actively campaigning against the economic measures required to sort out the mess the UK economy is in.
Does Labour like the idea that most people in the UK are suffering from the economic policies required to sort out their mess? Or are they so controlled by the unions, who after all own the Labour party, that they are not allowed to approve of financial policies that are designed to fix the UK economy abut but would reduce the standards of living for the union members?

Another pathetic performance by Milliband! I don’t believe that any opposition leader has ever had such an open goal to aim at with the state of our economy!
Yet Milliband is unable to capitalize on it.
The real problem that Milliband has is that Labour actually caused the financial problems that the UK is suffering from!!
So everytime Milliband, or any Labour MP, stands up to loudly criticize Cameron and the Conservatives, they are actually criticizing themselves and the inept Labour government which was last in power and which had left the UK economy in such a total mess!

That comment about ‘toxifying the tories’ is just nonsense! The real problems are:
(1) most of the Press seem to be working to destabilise the government just so that they can sell more papers, and
(2) the government has to stop the UK from becoming a basket case like Greece . Some of the other EU countries are close to collapse and the UK could easily follow if the correct measures are not taken.
So the press now support the Labour party (by definition that means the Trade Unions) whilst criticising the Labour party leadership as feeble and at the same time helping Labour to attack the Conservatives.
Are the press now paid by results? No matter how damaging what they publish is to the UK??
It does seem that the more dramatic the story then they sell more papers and the more money they get paid?

It is shameful that Milliband is not commenting on the potential fuel strike.
I think it is because he cannot dare oppose them because they own the Labour party!
It really does show the need for all political parties to be totally independent with regard to funding.
The trade Unions supply most of Labours funding and as a consequence Milliband cannot put the interests of the country before the interests of the Trade Unionists!
He can pay lip service towards his position as an independent political party but that is all!

There is no big deal in this!!
All the parties fund raise for money for their party.
Milliband has just had a very large donation and a ride in a roller to watch a football game as a guest to a person who donated the money to Labour.
What about Blair and ‘cash for honours’??? Now that really was a scandal in my view!
The emphasis of this recorded meeting was that it was seeing Cameron as the party leader not as the Prime Minister.
In Labour’s case the Trade Unions own the Labour party – a link that really should be broken if we really want to clean up politics in this country!

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!).
