Trade Unionists are selfish and greedy people.
The trade unions own the Labour party! It was Labour that destroyed the UK economy and put us all in a mess.
Yet the trade unions members (those that are taking industrial action) are too selfish to suffer the consequences of Labour’s incompetence in government!
They want more money and bigger pensions when the country cannot afford to pay them.
Perhaps we should link people’s pensions and pay to the way that they vote at a general election!!

Police officers being given desk jobs!!!
Posted by michael on September 5, 2011
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!).

Ed Miliband has admitted Labour is to blame for undermining the ethics of British society.
Posted by michael on August 13, 2011
I was quite surprised to see the following item in the Daily Mail. I know that it is my view that Labour did immense harm to the British society, in particular to our children, whilst in power for 14 years.
But I did not expect the Labour party to actually agree!!
——————————————
Ed Miliband has admitted Labour is to blame for undermining the ethics of British society.
The Labour leader conceded yesterday that the moral decay which David Cameron has blamed for the looting occurred on Tony Blair and Gordon Brown’s watch.
He admitted: ‘We did better at rebuilding the fabric of our country than the ethic of our country.’
But in his most provocative comments on the causes of the riots, Mr Miliband claimed that the mayhem of the last week was partly caused by poverty, an argument already made by his deputy Harriet Harman.
‘We have got to ask why do we have people in our society who feel that the way they can get on and the right thing to do is go and nick the telly, engage in the kind of looting we saw,’ he said. ‘We have got to avoid simplistic answers. There’s a debate some people are starting: is it culture, is it poverty and lack of opportunity? It’s probably both.’
Polls show that the public rejects claims from left-wing politicians that poverty and cuts causes lawbreaking.
One survey this week found that just 8 per cent of voters believe the Government’s cuts were to blame for the riots.
Mr Miliband said the riots showed young people have no ‘sense of right and wrong’ and sought to claim the rioters were the same as bankers. ‘It’s about irresponsibility, wherever we find it in our society.’

Labour are looking for ‘new’ policies
Posted by michael on July 4, 2011
Ed Milliband is apparently wondering where Labour go from here!
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!!!

Would the EU support the UK economy if required?
Posted by michael on June 25, 2011
I abhor the very idea of the European Union and that we should pay for another countries incompetence in running their own economy! The Greeks appear to have totally mismanaged their economy and deserve what they are going through! But I am also aware that the UK economy is also in a perilous state following 10 years of a Labour government. If our economy collapses as has happened in Greece, would the rest of the EU refuse to help us financially on the basis that it was self-inflicted damage by Brown, Darling and the last Labour government?

Our grasping, cynical trade unions
Posted by michael on June 22, 2011
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!!!

Libdems taking all the flak
Posted by michael on May 6, 2011
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!

Labour have no political direction or identity
Posted by michael on November 24, 2010
Labour have not had any political direction or identity since blair became their leader.
Blair got the country to vote for him on personalities not politics.Labour did not seem to have any idea of what to do once they were in power!
The result was that Labour almost ruined the UK economy and put the UK into serious debt.
We almost went the way of the Irish economy. The election came just in time for the Conservatives to halt the inevitable economic crash that Labour overspending would have caused!
The new Labour leadership are mostly the same bunch that almost destroyed the UK economy.
How can anyone ever expect them to behave differently in the future?

the Labour leadership contest is a sham!
Posted by michael on September 13, 2010
It doesn’t matter which Milliband or which person wins the Labour leadership contest!
Almost all the candidates were personally part of the appalling government of blair and brown.
How can these people campaign against the ConLib government when they were part of the government that made such a financial mess our economy.
Every time they try to speak about the economy they will be reminded that they caused the problems in the first place!
It show the bankruptcy of the Labour party that there are no better candidates than those who are standing for the Labour leadership!
The Union leaders are promising demonstrations on our streets to protest against cuts. What a shame they allowed blair and brown to do so much damage to our economy in the first place.
The union leaders should now keep silent whilst the government works to sort the UK economy out!

Our union leaders want it all!
Posted by michael on September 12, 2010
Our Union leaders sicken me. They have been the paymasters of the Labour government that has brought the UK to the brink of bankruptcy, and caused us all the financial problems that we have now!
Will they take responsibility for their role in the failed government that has brought such financial problems upon us?
The answer is NO!
They are so blinkered that they want all the jobs kept , all the services maintained and all the wages paid as though there were no problems with the economy.
And, of course, they want their salaries paid, together with all the benefits they get.
What self-centered people these union leaders are!
