Not a good week....

[Essex Lad]

Saying the same thing over and over again....

I'll give that try...


Please tell me the major differences between the Tories and Labour on the following:

Troops in Afghanistan/Iraq
Involvement in Libya
Possible involvement in Syria
EU membership
Reintroduction of grammar schools
Wind farms
"Green" policies
Immigration
Capital punishment
VAT
Speed cameras
Tuition fees
etc, etc

[David Johnson]

your point is that there are no differences in the policies and that we cant believe the policies because parties always change their policies once elected.

Not a very useful point if the truth was told. And an incorrect point as I have explained a number of times to you by looking at the details of what has been done in government by the Labour party. You have collapsed in a heap when asked to explain the positive things promised by Cameron or Thatcher and implemented.

My point is that in practice there is a relatively close connection between what Thatcher and Major planned to do and did and there is a pretty good connection between what Labour planned to do and did.

SUrely a totally pointless discussion because you have already stated:

1. that there is no difference in their policies.
2. 1. doesnt matter at all because the parties change their policies completely once in power.

I have junked that. Do keep up!

Have you sent Essex Lad the invite to your forum yet? He would be an ideal member, I think, if he isnt already.

Oops. Wrong place in thread

I have junked that by looking at the detail in government rather than the over-generalisations.

PS Never knew speed cameras was a major subject for the UK government. I live and learn.

To all intents and purposes what Mrs Thatcher, John Major, Tony Blair et al did or didn't do is history.

You say that there are differences.

Tell me today what the differences are in the policy areas I outlined between the Tories and Labour.

I don't think any words should be allowed a 'trans' prefix unless they are to define 'change'. I deny other words that right due to an deep-rooted prejudice to the words 'across' and 'beyond'. Those words should be left to fight for themselves and not be helped by liberals who want to doll them up with fancy latin prefixes.

So take your muesli-eating, lily-livered, metrosexual words and shove them up your back passage...........you fucking communist wanker.

Yeah....and another thing. I might be a pedant but you was pedantic with a pedant. So what's that make you you bigger pedant cunt. Yeah....that just makes you a fat-arsed pedant who touches himself reading Collins English Dictionaries. And you have the arse-raping cheek to come on 'ere forcing me to comply with your gay words? Fuck off you 'right-on' bum-licking, drain-pipe-chinos-with-loafers-wearing mincer!










Wow.......that was rather satisfying.

According to you this is an irrelevant question because policies are changed totally once in power.

Of course you are wrong because I have highlighted what Labour did and you have come up with nothing re. Cameron, Thatcher, Major etc.

As to your comment

"To all intents and purposes what Mrs Thatcher, John Major, Tony Blair et al did or didn't do is history. "

YOu dont even stick to your own advice i.e. asking me what is the difference between Labour and Tories over Iraq. This is one of your policy questions isn't it?

As for the differences on policies. As you probably dont know, there is a huge policy review which Miliband has the Labour party working on.

Watch this space. Or alternatively drop a line to Ed and I am sure he will give you a lengthy update on progress so far.

But rest assured a Labour government in power in 2015 will be different from this load of no-hopers we currently have.
