Gandalph Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 I think the votes down in Englandland has probably got the message to Brown this time, or least I hope so. If he is not aware that people think the Labour Party is a bunch of no-no's then there is something seriously lacking with the man.He needn't start his ranting about I will listen and lead, or, I will listen and learn because that would be just another load of Political Bulls**t. The people have given him the message. He need not try a wriggle out of this one to save himself from the dole queue. I don't think the voter will buy it.It wouldn't surprise me if Ken Livingston has something to say directly to Brown. It also wouldn't surprise me again, if and when Brown is forced to step down, Ken was to put his name up for election as leader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belatucadrus Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 "I do understand this and I feel the hurt that they feel" Says the depressing Gordo, which begs the question, if he felt it, why did he cause it ? Probably hasn't occurred to him that the rest of us don't have generous state funded expense accounts."I feel responsible. There are no excuses on my part at all," But you can bet your bottom dollar that's all you're going to get. As always with this government " I assume full responsibility." translates to "I'm bored with this and no way in hell am I going anyware, next subject please" . The days when ministers who'd screwed up resigned has long gone, you need the flying squad equipped with crowbars to prize the buggers out now.

You are right about the Welsh voters, if anyone should have got the message over it would have been them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchful Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Gordon has definitely got the message now but, as he seems to be in a world of his own, he won't act on it.I had high hopes for him at the start but not now.The people have spoken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Just you all wait and see, once the dust has settled everything will be the same. Do you think for one moment that they will really listen? We have never had a bigger buch of liars in Westminster before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Reality seems to become some sort of synthetic fairyland for those people who have worked themselves onto "leadership".There was wonderful speech over the weekend by the Chairman of the Head Teachers Union, or some such august body, that was having a conference. This woman said that bad parents should not be punished, that was the wrong way. The right way was for good parents to be rewarded, and the state should pay them for being good parents. In fact they should be paid for stopping at home to look after the children.Wonderful logic and so well thought through! No wonder our schools are failing to provide real education. They are being run by imbeciles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the voter will buy it.To be honest, whatever Labour do between now and the next general election, I won't trust them as they have already broken manifesto promises from the last general election.Who is to say that if they are re-elected in 2010, they will bring back their high tax policies and, if they do, then we are stuck with them for 5 years!I'll not vote Labour in the next general election whatever they do now as I've lost all faith in them :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurlyWhirly Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 the future is not rosy regardless of who gets in ...........No your right as the National Debt has swollen under Labour :0 I'm not sure what the actual figure is but I know it's more than when Labour took office in 1997.The first few years Labour did well by sticking to the Tories spending plans along with paying off some of the National Debt but, unfortunately, they went back to the old Labour values of high taxation and high public spending and very little to show for all this money being spent - so much for 'New' Labour :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tankus Posted May 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 The Electoral Commission said it has concluded its investigation, and although the Scottish labour leader had broken the rules, no further action would be taken.In a statement the commission says it has decided not to make a report to the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service.It states: "The Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 gives the Electoral Commission power to apply to a court to seek forfeiture of an amount equivalent to any impermissible donation that has been accepted."Wendy Alexander has acknowledged that the donation in question was impermissible, and has voluntarily forfeited this sum."There is therefore no need for the Commission to apply to the courts for a forfeiture order.impermissiable = illegal !....sorry guv ..caught in the act ...if I give it back ,everythinks hunkydory ..yeah ....! innit ..!I dont belieeve it ...as andsome would say'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''editbet tha' broon is kicking himself for supporting her and not sending her to the wall when the donations first came to light .....joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
