Post by: alanmayes on Saturday, April 18, 2009, 20:57:48 At the last election a lot of Labour supporters,left of centre and liberal minded people, refused
to vote Labour because of the Iraq war.Many simply stayed at home.Although Blair has gone, those same people aren't likely to return or to vote Labour and we may see the lowest turnout in General Election history. Title: Re: Labour look fucked... Post by: ghanimah on Saturday, April 18, 2009, 21:01:29 Agreed though the revelations in tomorrow's papers reveals how it's very difficult to see how Gordon Brown can survive this. To me this seems a Labour version of Thatchers downfall - short but sweet

Title: Re: Labour look fucked... Post by: Ardiles on Saturday, April 18, 2009, 21:07:02 labour are bad.the alternatives are a lot more worrying That's a fairly damning judgement on the state of British democracy. Title: Re: Labour look fucked... Post by: yeo on Saturday, April 18, 2009, 21:07:28 The tories have been doing the same sort of stuff for years,isnt it just politics?
I dont get what all the fuss is about. Title: Re: Labour look fucked... Post by: Ardiles on Saturday, April 18, 2009, 21:17:09 I think we all knew the 'historic third term' was going to end in tears, just like the 'historic fourth term' did for the Tories. After a decade, complacency sets in and wankers like Ed Balls start thinking the rules don't apply.
It's interesting that, during the last 30 years, we have become serial re-electors. Maybe we need to stop. Frankly, if you can't get your ideas/bills through Parliament within 4 or 5 years of gaining power, they're probably not worth getting through anyway. I'm hoping the 2010 General Election will produce a hung parliament. That will mix things up a bit. Title: Re: Labour look fucked... Post by: ron dodgers on Saturday, April 18, 2009, 21:18:39 all I can comment is -
this is just a drip feed of crap from the current governments opposition ( political parties, papers, companies) to feed the same shit back all you have to do is introduce a bit of suspicion like oooh he said that she said lesbian maybe they are not fit the plane crashed it's an outrage it's all getting just a bit North American could it be a campaign driven by the right/left/liberals/scots/mex/al quieda(sp?)/cunts/flammableBen It's like watching an episode of 24 the labour party are not bad and nor are the cons or lib dems the UK is a good place to live so EVERYBODY plaease get a grip on reality (waiting for Reg/ Samdy/Ironside/MrOg/Lucien to make me listen to the truth) Title: Re: Labour look fucked... Post by: ghanimah on Saturday, April 18, 2009, 21:22:43 The tories have been doing the same sort of stuff for years,isnt it just politics? I dont get what all the fuss is about. Because one of the smears / lies was, allegedly, that it's Cameron's fault for not getting treatment for STD that lead to Ivan being disabled Which the Sun deeply hinted here: Quote David Cameron’s wife — grieving over the tragic death of her little boy Ivan — has had to discover that Brown’s henchmen were plotting to spread vile untruths about her husband’s health. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/columnists/fergus_shanahan/article2375497.ece It seems a prominent Labour MP doesn't agree with you: http://www.tomharris.org.uk/2009/04/12/so-what-did-i-miss/ Title: Re: Labour look fucked...

Title: Re: Labour look fucked... Post by: ron dodgers on Saturday, April 18, 2009, 21:33:03 how do you know who started all the shit - it smacks of US Republican diversionary crap (adopted by whoever) - basically don't believe anything
Title: Re: Labour look fucked... Post by: flammableBen on Saturday, April 18, 2009, 21:33:04 I don't really get the big deal with the "smear emails" or whatever the headlines said (not that I've caught much news over the last week or two). In fact smearing people sounds quite fun, taken literally or otherwise.
Gordon Brown doesn't have a glass eye, he just uses it as an excuse so he can stare at little girls. Before David Cameron's career as a politician took off he used to sell the massive amounts of excess grease coming off his body to macdonalds for them to deepfry their fries. Yeovil Red doesn't get what the fuss is about which just shows how out of touch he is with the modern electorate. Title: Re: Labour look fucked... Post by: dell boy on Saturday, April 18, 2009, 21:33:50 The country is fucked ... it doesn't matter who is in government, they are all the same, why vote at all. Just leave Britain to the immigrants and queers.

Just leave Britain to the immigrants and queers. erm righto. Title: Re: Labour look fucked... Post by: flammableBen on Saturday, April 18, 2009, 21:36:40 I agree with dell. Or at least that people with that attitude should follow through with his suggestion.
Title: Re: Labour look fucked... Post by: Ironside on Saturday, April 18, 2009, 21:44:21 I hope Labour disappears up its own arsehole at the next election.
I depsise them for eveything that they represent and everything they've done to this country since ''97. They've killed it. If they get wiped out completely, I will dance through Shepherds Bush green with my bollocks hanging out. Title: Re: Labour look fucked... Post by: ron dodgers on Saturday, April 18, 2009, 21:46:04 glass eyed queers - where's me cutlass?
Iron - you are such a wishy washy liberal - let's pray for Libertas to get in Title: Re: Labour look fucked... Post by: flammableBen on Saturday, April 18, 2009, 21:57:24 http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/columnists/fergus_shanahan/article2375497.ece That sun article is a head fuck in the most brilliant way possible I don't get around to reading the sun as much as I'd like. The way their articles are written can be wonderful sometime, not so much the more (blatent) editorial stuff like above, but when they explain often bafflingly complex story in simple language using relatively few words. Title: Re: Labour look fucked... Post by: Ardiles on Saturday, April 18, 2009, 22:05:15 My favourite line...
'How can he pose as a family man while backing a Home Secretary who steals public money so her sweaty husband can slobber over blue movies?' Journalistic gold. Title: Re: Labour look fucked... Post by: chalkies_shorts on Saturday, April 18, 2009, 22:12:53 I've been a Labour man all my life apart from a tactical vote to the Lib Dems to get the biggest cunt ever connected to British politics ever in the history of world out - Maggie.
Wiht or without the latest stuff Labour were fucked. Arriba is right though, there's not exactly one in the frame for my vote. I certainly won't be voting for Ironside's lot but I think there is a danger a lot of people will do so. Title: Re: Labour look fucked... Post by: Batch on Saturday, April 18, 2009, 22:25:22 For the first time in my adult life I probably won't be voting. Labour have enraged me on many issues, as the local candidate will find out if they come canvassing. Cameron and the Tories in general look as likely to screw the country as labour. Nobody else has the credibility or ability to get elected.
Will possibly look at any independents standing, maybe vote for them as a protest vote. Title: Re: Labour look fucked... Post by: reeves4england on Saturday, April 18, 2009, 23:35:23 Like many on here, I've got no idea who I'd go for. I suppose there's still a long time to go before the election and a lot of water (ie lies, broken promises, childish squabbling between 'politicians') to go under the bridge, but as it stands no party has convinced me they could lead a sing-song, let alone a country

With the possible exception of Douglas Carswell I would like to see every single evil, corrupt, disgusting MP taken to Trafalgar Square and publicly whipped before being strung up from the lamp posts. They are all complete and utter shits. Title: Re: Labour look fucked... Post by: Bushey Boy on Sunday, April 19, 2009, 13:01:07 I hope Labour disappears up its own arsehole at the next election.
