Poor Ed Milliband!

Useless wankers all.

If he wants to give him advice, he needs to call him up not go telling the Sun. I personally voted for David Milliband but Ed's leader and Labour people need to get behind him.

Blair is just giving Cameron ammunition. Blair prob just doesn't want Labour to win another election so his record can appear even more impressive.

According to most opinion polls apart from Mr Slips, as per usual, the most loathed man in Britain is Nick Clegg

[David Johnson]

Analogies can be useful to explain points. However, comparing Ed Miliband to Fred West is not the most convincing comparison I've heard.

[David Johnson]

Yup, I did a straw poll down the pub last night and Cleggie seemed to be well in the lead as the most orrible politician.

I wouldn't compare him with Fred West as one of the forumites did in another thread re. Ed Miliband, but Cleggie definitely ain't popular that's for sure.

Blair, Bush and the Bankers presided over a massive International "gamble". The gamble was, "If we were to ensure anyone and everyone could borrow any amount they like, they would then spend this borrowed money on everything from houses to goods and services. There would then be an endless self generating dynamo of growth."

Problem was we all bought goods from China, made housing unnaffordable and plunged ourselves into enormous debt.

If we and the Yanks had still been major manufacturers, it might have just worked.............for a time.

My issue with Blair, is lying and cheating to send young men and women to their deaths in a war to serve American interests. I remember about 10 years ago, seeing some elderly relatives (one a ww2 hero) who had been life long Labour supporters. With the Iraq War their support had transformed into a spitting, soaring, pathalogical hatred of Blair and his slimy crew, Mandellson, Campbell.

Their twisted hatred shook me to the point, that I myself started to question my own support for New Labour. This was the beginning of the end!

Talking about that WW2 hero's hatred of Blair and Co. It got me thinking. I was just imagining a donkey-jacketed, bespectacled wearing, New Labour activist knocking on the codger's door at the height of his hatred for Blair & Co.

Circa 2002.

"Excuse me sir, I am here to share with you a Wonder that cloaks our great country in a veritable gossamer like, veil of warmth, happiness and wealth!"

"Yeah, waddaya ya want? I can't stand people who wear Hush Puppies and ya need a hair cut, sonny!"

"Today Sir, I speak to you of Our Glorious Leader, Tony Blair and His "Disciples of New Labour!! Have you not heard the Word?? On His left hand sits Mandellson and on His right, Campbell! Only our besuited disciples of Hope, can deliver us all, to happiness and eternal prosperity!! Can I rely on your support good sir?"

"Yes, I have something for you........!"

Just a hint of foam appears at the corner of the Codger's now trembling lips as he hurriedly turns and rushes to a back room. The Labour Party activist, hears the noise of someone frantically rummaging through boxes and drawers. He thinks to himself, "Kerching! How wonderful it is to be Chosen to spread the Word, Thankyou God, for sending Tone to us and also for granting him the ability to play great rock guitar......."

He sees Codger appear out of the shadows gripping something in his right hand. "That's a World War 2, Enfield No. 2 Mk I .38/200 calibre revolver, ha!Ha!" he bursts into laughter, "Whilst your old service revolver would be a welcome gift, it is illegal to shoot Tories, Sir! a small monetary donation to Our cause will suffice." He chortles, "Oh, you are a card sir, you are almost as funny as our Great Leader, only yesterday.." The pensioner carefully aims his old service revolver at the unsuspecting activist....."Our Great Leader had us all enthralled with a wonderful joke about a Civil Servant who was worried the Tories might one day take away his...." The codger's finger slowly, ever so slowly, squeezes the trigger..... "final salary pension, oh how we laughed and laughed and lau.....!"

BANG!........BANG!BANG!

Crumpled on the ground, the shocked, but still smiling, New Labour activist looks up at the codger standing over him, still holding the smoking gun, he stutters, "Lu ckily, thanks to... New labour, an am bulance should be here, in 5 minutes and take me to a new A & E. Now of course .....under proposed Tory cuts in the NHS, the ambulance would in fact take 6.5 minutes to get here and there wouldn't be a......"

BANG!BANG!BANG!

In exasperation the pensioner points the gun at his own head.

BANG!

The New Labour activist looks over at the pensioners body, "Don't errr worry, sssir, un der New Laabour, you will ggget a fffree burial, which.......... thanks to Tory cuts are ggoooah............!"

The End

Epilogue :There were rumours that the codger still had his old service revolver hidden away somewhere! Alas, he had passed away before the last election, but I wouldn't have liked to have been canvassing for New Labour in his street at the time!
