"Doctor Evil" wrote in message ... "Uno Hoo!" wrote in message ... Education is in a mess. This is not what I see. Any evidence for this article of faith? a third of primary school children are leaving school unable to properly read and write. It was over 50% under Major. Vast improvements are being made. snip misinformed babbling rant Not because it is misinformed - but because it contains unpalatable truths that you do not wish to see and cannot respond to. NHS is in a mess, This is not what I see. Any evidence for this article of faith? snip misinformed babbling rant Again - see above. law and order is in a mess, This is not what I see. Any evidence for this article of faith? When did you last see a patrolling police officer? They are a waste of time and effort. When did one actually see a crime being committed on the beat? Erm, erm. And again you have been misled by the audit report which suggested that patrolling police officers were a waste of time because the chances of them coming across a crime in progress were remote. What they, who had never been police officers, failed to realise is that patrolling officers provide a general deterrent against low level crime. Remove patrolling officers and what do you get? Free roaming yobs who do what they like because they *know* they are not going to get caught. When low level criminals realise that they can get away with anything they progress onto more serious crime - which is what is happening. Low level crimes such as vandalism and anti-social behaviour are rocketing - because there are no officers out there to create a deterrent. Nonsense!! Police recruitment is at an all time high and still recruiting like mad. The anti-social; laws are there but police will not implement them. They have the power, but will not use it. And those whop do tend to be rather leaning to right wing police forces. You really don't get it do you? Police recruitment may be at an all time high - but this is against a background of under-resourcing going back for years and years. In the past 30 years the demand upon police forces has increased by many hundreds of percent - by what percentage has police numbers increased over the same period? If you think that police numbers have increased by anywhere remotely near the increased demand then you are seriously deluded. You have fallen for the 'spin' my friend. Police services not utilising the laws should be dealt with by the Home secretary. When Howard was Home secretary he allowed a Drug baron a pardon, to great uproar at the time. The baron started immediately to make crack cocaine. Howard is a naive fool and idiot! Crime fell sharply under Howard. Has it done the same under any of the several Home Secs employed by your 'y'now' Tone? Labour are fond of saying that since they came to power the numbers of police officers have increased. Which is the case. snip misinformed babbling rant And yet again you snip the valid case against Labour because you cannot seriously dispute it. Like most Labour voters - you believe the spin and ignore the reality. taxation is high, Lowest in Europe apparently. You can make statistics say anything. FACT! Lowest in Europe. Are our fuel taxes lower than elsewhere in Europe for example? Fuel is no more expensive in the UK than anywhere else. Now I seriously begin to doubt your sanity! Also, fuel prices doesn't deter people buying cars, so it must be within market forces. If you doubled the price of fuel tomorrow - people would still buy cars because they are essential to modern day life. illegal immigration is out of control. This is not what I see. Any evidence for this article of faith? Oh dear - just which rag do you read? Obviously not what you read. At the beginning of the election period ITV had a spot on immigration. There is no case for it. Only 29 visas were given to asylum seekers last year. And all the rest were given 'exceptional leave to remain'. Even those that were told they had to leave were not made to do so. The number of refused asylum seekers actually removed from the country is tiny. You also appear to be confusing asylum seekers with illegal immigrants. snip misinformed babbling rant 'Tone' tells lies This is not what I see. Any evidence for this article of faith? He stated that he would not introduce top-up fees - and he did. He stated that he would not increase NI - and he did. He publicly sated the reasons why and that he did promise but circumstances changed. No lies mate! So no matter what you promise - it means nothing at all so long as you can come up with some reason for breaking it!!! He stated that Saddam had WMD's - and he didn't. FOUR inquires and the document that Blair based his decision on, is on the web for all the world to see. NOWHERE is there evidence of any lies. Hypocrite Dracula Howard after calling Blair a liar over Iraq, said he would have taken us into the wear irrespective of anything: WUD, or whatever. Four enquiries set up by Blair himself and with the parameters of the enquiries laid down by Blair himself and the heads of the enquiries selected by Blair. Hardly surprising that they came down in his favour is it? and employs and re-employs scoundrels. This is not what I see. Any evidence for this article of faith? Mandelson? Cambell? Two great men!!!!! Oh dear oh dear oh dear. I can see that you are clearly past all help. The strongest economy in the western world (9/11 made no difference to the UK economy, while most of the western world went into recession) Almost entirely due to Gordon Brown Exactly! They have a handle on it. They are good!!!! Nicely snipped ! Latest expert opinion is that the UK economy is heading for recession. Not this crap again. I have heard this for 10 years. The Tories are wishing for a depression to get in. It is like as stuck record. The strongest currency in the world See above. The longest sustained economic growth in history. See above All major services have high investment snip misinformed babbling rant Strange isn't it that whenever I post proof that you have no response for, you simply snip it? More school leavers into higher education than ever before We are having a highly educated population, which thick we should not have. What does that mean? snip misinformed babbling rant Strange isn't it that whenever I post proof that you have no response for, you simply snip it? Much needed constitutional change Oh - you refer to the 'cronying' of the Lords in an attempt to remove any vestige of control over 'president' Bliar? No, removal of parasite hereditary Lords who are only interested in vested interests of themselves. The Liberals in 1911 stopped the Lords from making laws, which the could. They were predominately large landowners, who fund the Tory party. People whoes ancestors stole land from the people. Get your head out of your bum and look around. Anyone who doesn't vote Labour needs professional attention. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. You really are a labour spin doctors delight aren't you? Fallen for the lot hook line and sinker. And anyone who falls for the lies What lies? None proven. You are a sucker, you sucked it in. A copper eh? I have never met one who doesn't vote Tory, even though he may have come from a sink estate. The canteen lizards been at you eh? The police service is the biggest brainwashing ground for right wing views. The government should get in and stop this political bias of a service that clearly underperforms. I have met many who went into the police service because it was a "cushy number". Some lazy *******s are in that lot. And you have the nerve to talk about 'misinformed babbling rants' !!!!! Kev |

Strange isn't it how all these sleazy, discredited, foul mouthed yobs who lurk within the Labour party always manage to creep back in when the dust has settled? What is really perverse is to go on endlessly about immigration and economic migrants, and then employ a foreigner to run your campaign. Of course MH might respond by saying that all businesses (and organisations like the Tory Party) should be free to go out and employ the best talent available wherever it comes from and artificial constraints like immigration quotas shouldn't get in the way. But then he'd find he'd sawn through the plank he's sitting on. I believe that that is precisely what MH has said. He has stated quite clearly that in deciding upon quotas he would liaise with businesses and public services to identify shortages of skills and create the quotas accordingly. That is what most sensible countries around the world do. It is only the UK that lets anyone in, no matter what their skill levels or state of health or likely demands upon the welfare system. Kev |

No it hasn't. Labour are fond of saying that since they came to power the numbers of police officers have increased. Which is the case. snip misinformed babbling rant And yet again you snip the valid case against Labour because you cannot seriously dispute it. Like most Labour voters - you believe the spin and ignore the reality. You are mad! We have more coppers now than ever before...and still recruiting. You are brainwashed. Yes we do have more coppers now than ever before - but still only a fraction of what we actually require because the starting point was serious under-resourcing. Although recruiting is certainly increasing - it is not increasing at anywhere near the level of increase in demand. Look at this simple analogy. You have a swimming pool being filled at a rate that requires 20 men with buckets to effectively keep the level stable - but you only have ten men - so the water level (crime level) keeps rising. So you add a few more men - an additional five every year. Problem is that the rate that the water is being poured into the pool is increasing dramatically - far faster than the rate you are adding more men. What is the result? Ask a politician about the problem and what will he say? "But we have more men bailing out the pool today than we have ever had." Typical forked tongue speak. Are our fuel taxes lower than elsewhere in Europe for example? Fuel is no more expensive in the UK than anywhere else. Now I seriously begin to doubt your sanity! I drive on the Continent occasionally. Then your memory must be very poor. How do fuel prices in the UK compare with the US? - and yet you say that fuel is no more expensive in the UK than anywhere else!!!!!!! Also, fuel prices doesn't deter people buying cars, so it must be within market forces. If you doubled the price of fuel tomorrow - people would still buy cars because they are essential to modern day life. They are not in most cases. They buy them for bizarre reasons. They pollute and having high fuel deters them. What bizarre reasons are those? illegal immigration is out of control. This is not what I see. Any evidence for this article of faith? Oh dear - just which rag do you read? Obviously not what you read. At the beginning of the election period ITV had a spot on immigration. There is no case for it. Only 29 visas were given to asylum seekers last year. And all the rest were given 'exceptional leave to remain'. Even those that were told they had to leave were not made to do so. We do need skilled labour as a building boom is starting. I can't stand racism. For a start I am not talking about properly managed immigration where people required for specific tasks are allowed in - I'm talking about illegal immigration where people who often have no skills, cannot speak the language, and only wish to join the dole queues are flooding in. They are the problem. And don't imply that I am a racist. I don't have a racist bone in my body. This is a typical labour ploy, however, impune the integrity of anyone who raises legitimate concerns about serious social problems. The number of refused asylum seekers actually removed from the country is tiny. You also appear to be confusing asylum seekers with illegal immigrants. You are. Blair should have roasted Paxman on that silly question of "do you know hoe many illegal immigrants are in the country". Blair said he didn't. Does every illegal immigrant ring up Lunar House to tell them he is here? Does every terrorist ring up MI5 to tell them they are here? What a DUMB question. Blair should have roasted him. But he didn't did he? I've never seen such a pathetic performance from a political leader in my life. Both on Paxman and Question Time he was reduced to a sweating mumbling wreck! snip misinformed babbling rant 'Tone' tells lies This is not what I see. Any evidence for this article of faith? He stated that he would not introduce top-up fees - and he did. He stated that he would not increase NI - and he did. He publicly sated the reasons why and that he did promise but circumstances changed. No lies mate! So no matter what you promise - it means nothing at all so long as you can come up with some reason for breaking it!!! Legitimate reason. So we can place no faith at all in any of the promises that Bliar has made in this election campaign? He stated that Saddam had WMD's - and he didn't. FOUR inquires and the document that Blair based his decision on, is on the web for all the world to see. NOWHERE is there evidence of any lies. Hypocrite Dracula Howard after calling Blair a liar over Iraq, said he would have taken us into the wear irrespective of anything: WUD, or whatever. Four enquiries set up by Blair himself No, instigated by him. Independent people headed them. and with the parameters of the enquiries laid down by Blair himself and the heads of the enquiries selected by Blair. Independent people. Blair did not have to set them up. Hardly surprising that they came down in his favour is it? Not surprising at all as he nothing to hide.. and employs and re-employs scoundrels. This is not what I see. Any evidence for this article of faith? Mandelson? Cambell? Two great men!!!!! Oh dear oh dear oh dear. I can see that you are clearly past all help. Two great men!!!!! The strongest economy in the western world (9/11 made no difference to the UK economy, while most of the western world went into recession) Almost entirely due to Gordon Brown Exactly! They have a handle on it. They are good!!!! Nicely snipped ! Nicely run by Gordon Brown and the Labour admin. All major services have high investment snip misinformed babbling rant Strange isn't it that whenever I post proof that you have no response for, you simply snip it? You don't post proof. You post opinionated babble. More school leavers into higher education than ever before We are having a highly educated population, which thick we should not have. What does that mean? You want a thick population. Far from it - we are *getting* a thick population, however, because of the dumbed down education kids are getting today. snip misinformed babbling rant Strange isn't it that whenever I post proof that you have no response for, you simply snip it? You don't post proof. You post opinionated babble. I have met many who went into the police service because it was a "cushy number". Some lazy *******s are in that lot. And you have the nerve to talk about 'misinformed babbling rants' !!!!! A relative. Ex detective in the Met. He said the place was riddled with lazy *******s. That is my experience of a lot of them too. Occasionally you meet the odd decent one, with common sense, and it gives me some hope in them. Oh well - an ex detective in the Met - he must be right then. Kev |

Very intelligent. He walked into Channel 4 unannounced and demanded and interview, and got one there and then. I overhead one Tory MP once saying about: Campbell, Mandelson, Blair and Brown; I wish we had them on our side. Yes of course you did , there there. Kev |

Blair was trying to be nice and diplomatic. He would have gained more respect by roasting Paxman, which he deserved for asking such a dumb question. no question is dumb. it was a valid question. Does every illegal immigrant ring up Lunar House to tell them he is here? Does every terrorist ring up MI5 to tell them they are here? How could Blair know how many are out of the system. and I don't think BBC1 primetime is the right place for roastings. Paxman acted like he was on Newsnight. Many would have loved Paxman to get a roasting on primetime.

With The Tories making little to no ground. Any seats they gained were because of shifts to LibDems because Tony did the right thing for world peace. So a majority of 68(ish) on only a 36% share of the vote constitutes thumping in your book then. Down from 167, it is hardly a ringing endorsment and if you'd listened to Blair, Blunkett, Straw et al last night, you've have heard that they didn't view it as an unqualified success, regardless of the "historic third term". And not all the seats they lost to the Conservatives were a result of the LibDem voters having an effect. Take Hammersmith and Fulham where Labour's share of the vote went down 9.1%, Conservative up 5.6%, LibDem up 2.6%. Or Welwyn Hatfield, where the LibDem share of the vote was unchanged. But don't let reality interfere with your blind acceptance of New Labour propoganda. Meanwhile I'm going to sit back and see how capabable Blair is at governing with a significant number of rebel MPs on his back bench. FIVE MORE YEARS!!!!!!! Now we move on boldly. And that's exactly how history will remember Blair's premiership. The man who squandered 8 years where he had a majority of over 160. If there's one thing you won't see, it is five years of bold Blairite policies. Cheers Clive |

Apart from illegally invading a foreign country (which the Tories would have done anyway), and introducing Part P (they'd have probably done that too) they've not done too badly at home. (this is where I duck!) Then vote for gordon brown, who at least is smart enough not to cock up big time. Tone and crone have made a complete pigs ear of everything and reduced me to tears of boredom. Everything is so patronisingly dumbed down. Except social security form's. Took me weeks to fill out the one for me old mum, who needs it, and wouldn't have got beyond the first page on her own. THATS Nu Laber. Make a song and dance about how much extra benefit you are giving away to the disadvantaged, and make sure you need a Phd to fill out the forms. Some means testing. Hes a carpet bagger and a usurpre, and so are most of his chums. Once the residue of economic well being orf te last tory government finally ecvaporates, it will be the death knell of Laber for ever, hopefully. And the tories too. If you look at relative losses and gains overall, Laber has lost about 6%,Lib dems gained about 5% and the rest went to partyless independents and small parties. Sounds like electoral reform and the death of party politics as we know it is on the cards soon. |

Tell me this: If you want sensible advice on a technical and complex problem who do you go to? Do you go and ask a professional or do you ask a bricky's labourer? You ask a professional because they have the intelligence and grasp of technicalities to know what they are talking about. Did this group of professionals vote for 'Tone'? Did they hell as like - they have more sense. Kev |
