This drive and ambition you talk of, who do you think is to blame for that? Do you think Socialists are to blame? Do you think communists are? Why is it we live in such a good free capitalist system and yet these big employers can't provide their workers with a decent living wage? Don't you think that may breed a lack of drive and determination to go out to work and yet be so bad off?
oh look at the socialist brats cheering for their EUSSR master. Labour made a huge DEBT and the public has to PAY FOR ALL THAT DEBT.
oh course, since labour is the party of the poor the more poor people the better for them. Everytime Labour was in power, more people became poor. I think its a tragic communist manifesto that the labour is rallying on. the Soviets failed. the Eastern European socialist republics failed. and yet there are still socialist rats who cling on to a failed system. FAIL
yeah labour definitely have a communist agenda don't they. dennis skinner is the last true socialist, and as much as agree with him on most things he doesn't really represent labour's views. now days labour are pretty bang on center miles away from communism.
someone's been reading far too much daily mail/telegraph
@wasbornin1990 you know there isnt socialist and communist left? because the Berlin wall already crumbled and the soviet socialist nanny-state experiment is over. the state of slackers is over.
someone's been reading far too much ancient soviet books with no significance in 2011.
The Tory-Lib Dem government scrapped EMA and raised university tuition fees to £9000, betraying election pledges and effectively pricing many of us out of education. Last year students, pupils and workers fought back with mass protests, strikes and waves of direct action. We were the biggest youth rebellion since the 1960s, and we aren’t going away. On November 9th thousands of us will march in London, Search facebook for "National Demo - Defend Education, Fight Privatisation" for details.

fuck the union flag lets get bnehing the red flag mass nationalisation BUT im having the high paid job whilst you working class are on crappy wages :-)
Why don't you post David Laws response? I watched this debate live on the BBC when it was going on. You think Skinner savaged him? He was cut into pieces, chewed, and spit out again by Laws in the response.
labour put people on the dole! they made it so that people on benefits could earn more than many people who work hard 5 or 6 days a week. labour started a benefits culture - little girls aspire to be 'mums and have lots of children so i don't have to work and still get money - just like my mum'. it REALLY is enough to make you think that the whole reason labour give out benefits is so that they have a vote base. they're 'the party of the poor'. if people weren't poor, they'd be out of business!
@GoldenbanjoDJ You sir must be a Daily Mail reader. And 6 months on... More people on the dole... Higher inflation, no growth and what? More borrowing....
I don't have to be a daily mail reader to have my hairdresser tell me that her daughter tells her that chidren at her primary school tell their teachers when it comes to the classic 'what do you want to be when you are older' question. "I want to be a mammy and have babies so I can get money for nothing like my mammy does". Benefit culture 100%. You should extend you memory a bit and understand which bunch of morons put us in this place. Labour are as in bed with the rich as cons...
except whilst the cons are completely honest as being the party of the rich (well, the party of the people who make themselves rich by hard work and innovation) the labour party would rather sneakily pretend to be a party of the poor whilst actually shafting them at every turn - cos in the end that is their base of votes. Face it. Things start off with good intentions, yes - but get a taste of power and good grief look what happens.
@GoldenbanjoDJ Very true, however it is also Labour that introduced the Minimum Wages, whereas the Conservatives, at the time, voted AGAINST it. It wasn't for Labour, we'd probably still have people who were working for under £5 an hour.
@GoldenbanjoDJ Tou are obviously a victim of the class war propaganda. Labour was never a party of poor people, it was a party for the working man. Many of it's politicians came through the unions. I think you should maybe read and research things and not just listen to daddy when he forks out your allowance for the weekend. I fight for my country, it makes me a tad angry when I'm fighting for ignorant's like you and the 5 people who liked your comment.
Well thank you for your assumptions. Unfortunately I am going to have to correct you. I am a classic conservative because I believe in people working for their money and that if they do so then they deserve to keep the vast majority of it, so I will have none of that 'daddy forking out allowance' crap you lot throw out at people with different opinions (class war propaganda yourself, ey?). I had far more 'likes' on my comment, last time I checked, than 5.
I am extremely grateful for the work you do in fighting for this country. You will probably find that conservatives and right wingers on the whole are far more likely to be thankful for your work than the leftists you seem intent on defending. I wonder why you feel so angry at folk like us whilst the party you seem to be supporting have created a culture whereby brave soldiers like you who fight and contribute to society are doing so to keep lazy people at home with their feet up?
Lastly, in regards to your 'party for the working man' comment. I do know the history of the labour party thank you, but look what has happened. They are no longer a party of the working man at all. They are a party for the scroungers and the benefit cheats who do not work at all. They can't sustain their votes as a 'party for the working man' because working men who graft end up supporting conservativism. They've got you completely fooled, mate. Look at some of my other comments.
@GoldenbanjoDJ Well you obviously can't count. You lot? I grew up in a middle class family, however I researched and work beside a lot of hard working guys from a working class background. You have no clue. And seeing as you have a confederate flag as your thumbnail, I'm not going to waste my time with someone such as yourself.
Not sure what the counting comment was in reference to. Well then if you grew up in a middle class background and claim to have researched and made a life for yourself, why are you trying to knock someone else who is trying to do the same with 'daddy allowance' jibes? You're just one big assumption machine. You know fine well that everything I have said is true and you haven't commented on the fact that because of the labour party you are fighting for scroungers.
To be honest, the comment on my thumbnail tells me everything I need to know about you. More assumptions. You are the kind of individual who thinks that because he knows a little bit about something then he has the right to win it without even listening to the other side. You can use that as an excuse not to argue with me if you want, but that's pathetic. You just can't forge a coherent answer to my points that doesn't revolve around your own 'personal experience'.
You don't even seem capable of recognising what I have been saying all along in regards to the labour party changing from the party for 'working people' to the party for the benefit cheats. You seem to think I have some agenda against 'working class' people, which is complete bullshit. I'm FOR working people. The labour party isn't.That's what I have been saying all along! You're the one who opens up all this 'class war' shit. We both value the working man
@GoldenbanjoDJ Go read your previous comment and you may click on. Ahhh, but I didn't do it of daddy's allowance. Another thing, people who grow up in poverty do not have the help we do. People who once would have been party of the working class, are in the lower class BECAUSE of the elite's. Maggie thatcher destroyed so many jobs and then you expect them to do above and beyond to work? Lets no blame the victims here, lets sort the problem. You're views are flawed. And nothing you said was true.
I believe your views to be flawed as well. Yeah, many people in poverty do not have the help. But that doesn't stop them from having drive and ambition. My girlfriend comes from a very working class family. Her father works for a large pest control company. They are as working class as you can get. They live in a rough part of a rough area. And she is training to be a doctor. It's called social mobility. Getting out of the class you were born into by hard work
In fact, one would suggest that the prospect of making better lives for oneself would allow for copious amounts of drive and ambition.
But no-one is going to realistically go out and work when the government molly coddles them with £26,000 worth of benefits/year- far more than I get for working my ass off teaching. I believe we should help people, but successive governments have taken the drive and ambition from our culture and created something that I would actually call immoral
@GoldenbanjoDJ Just like a Tory voter only reads half the truth and distorts the rest .The £26.000 benefits are for London`s high rent `s which his Tory LAND LORDs charge,very little left to live on.
@GoldenbanjoDJ What a load of elitist garbage, social mobility hahahaha. Go read the demonisation of the working class, maybe once you have actually read something factual and not a load of tripe from the papers etc. you can form a reasonable opinion.
'reasonable opinion'? Mate you have given no facts at all. Your opinion is not based on reason whatsoever... Classic leftist - all emotion, no fact.
All you have to say is classic thick shit points like 'read this (not at all biased sounding) book', 'daddy's allowance', 'elitist garbage'. I come across your type all the time. It would be funny if it wasn't so tragic.
FANTASTIC! Thats a real MP speeking common sense! where have all the old boys gone like him and Tony benn?! Parliaments full of snoby young blokes with receeding hairlines now!
No immigration has ruined this country as it's ruined most other European countries. The far-right movement is growing and I can't wait for a chance to get our homeland back.
@Myles0Harcourt I don't care about the Monarchy. What I do care about is the fact they steal tax payer's money. That is DISGUSTING and people like you who support it are revolting.
You are obviously a sad and abusive person. Do you think a president would be any less expensive? To be honest, I would rather the Royals got my money than council bureaucrats and the EU, and foreign immigrants on benefits.
@Myles0Harcourt No head of state should claim more than a minimal amount of money from the tax payer. It is revolting. I don't want a president- like I said, I don't care about the Monarchy. But claiming public money is disgusting.
The queen is a special type of politician, who represents the UK here and abroad. She stabilises the country, and a constant head of state with a clear line of replacement is surely much better than a head of state appointed by a government. And if you don't want a Monarch, and you don't want a president, whom do you want for head of state? Or are you an anarchist?
@lolitsManni That money could go towards helping disadvantaged people. Of course, being a Tory, you don't give half of a fuck about disadvantaged people, but never mind.
@ToaJoe I like how you (incorrectly) assume that I am a Tory, I think Cameron is a cunt as much as anyone else. Maybe if people like you pulled your head out of your arse long enough to stop crying over 62p and do something with your life, we wouldn't have this VAT increase and all this anger over student fees.
@Myles0Harcourt I like the way you Tory voters expose yourself as closet racists through small things you say, like what you just said about welfare payment for new migrants. It's hilarious, you people claim to be against racism but deep down you have your personal feelings, and you hate these immigrants coming to our shores.
To say I am racist is insulting and unfounded. The right wing elements of the party may be racist. I am not. I welcome immigrants as long as they are prepared to enhance this country and be of value to society. the same expectations I would have of someone who is completely British.
Skinner is an utter legend. I wish someone would upload the video where he was thrown out for saying there were 'lines of cocain' in front of boy George in the 80's...
What a fantastic man. 'Outmoded Labour ideals'? How can fairness and equality be 'outmoded ideals'? Yes, they are ideals, but surely as a progressive and intelligent race we should be navigating ourselves away from the primordial ideology that inhabits the hearts of right wing 'one up man ship'. What haunts me is that some people will truly enjoy all the damage these cuts make to the lower half of society, the war continues to rage between the haves and have nots.
@hilly71 Blair LOVES Dennis Skinner in fact they are friends and Dennis Skinner is a huge ally of David Miliband for your information. He campaigned for him in the leadership.
@ajuk1 Yes your correct'..But you mustn't confuse that fact with Tory Idiology..They say'You have to Break eggs' to make an omellette'...But you dont have to drop them on the floor'Like the ConDems' are doing.Camerons falling apart already'Hav'nt you noticed..?
Would he prefer the government continued spending vast amounts of other peoples' money that doesn't exist.....? Honestly, the sheer fantasy world these labour types live in is unbelievable.
Dennis, You are brilliant! As ever you are a man we can trust - no bull****!
You call a spade a spade!
The Tory/Lib alliance is a disaster in the making - just mark my words! The Tories almost bankrupt my family in the eighties. They are also the party of cruelty - God damn them! The Lib Dems are just so pathetic, they're a joke! All their talk of being the best party for animal welfare has already gone up in smoke. Well, I say let karma do her work, she always does!!!!
Maybe Dennis can come up with a better plan to reduce the deficit? Oh that's right, he doesn't have one, the was an outburst because he didn't agree with the coilition, not because he didn't agree with cuts(which have to happen). He is playing to the public, and he is an idiot.
some cuts were necessary but not of the magnitude or pace that this 'rag tag n bobtail government' preach to us (so many times the most gullible among us believe them), the last quarter showed another percentage rise in growth suggesting the country was on the right track to recovery. Now we have stopped growth with a continual tyrade of cuts. To get the ripest tomato you must give the plant the nutrients it needs to grow.
I think he touched a nerve with the Lib Dems. Lets face it, there all a bunch of crooks. Too busy lining their own pockets to even bother themselves with the people who vote them in.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Skinners lost it, he's not funny anymore. He stayed in a party that betrayed the British people with mass immigration, multiculturaluism and political correctness, he has no moral base from which to fight and that is why his jokes become less funny every year.
This government is a disaster and I hope enough people rally to boost them all out because as JJ Rousseau said the power lies with the people and we must not forget that.....
@adelaxxx ..Yes I agree'...I miss his Tub-Thumping Speach's...He spoke his mind and didn't care who he was speaking to.He didn't follow anyone like sheep'...He led the way...God Bless Him'.."Our Working Class Hero"Oliver Cromwell would have been proud of him..!!
@adelaxxx Hes got courage and when he speaks you listen to him - he has authority - not alot of MPs manage to convey enough of that in my opinion anymore
@adelaxxx Hes got courage and when he speaks you listen to him - he has authority - not alot of MPs manage to convey enough of that in my opinion anymore
I loved the way he used intelligent reason and argument to justify his political point of view, otherwise he may have just sounded like a bitter old man who has finally been allowed to shout at someone. I also note you didn't include Laws' cool and calm response that destroyed Skinner. Pathetic ramblings from a pathetic opposition.
@beigemaster86 Yep,saying that it's hypocritical of the Liberals to flip-flop on the policy they pledged to as soon they got in to position to implement such a policy is a pretty good argument. Well spotted you master logican.
@AphidsRuleThePlanet No he uses all the charm and wit of a thug and a bully. He ignores the facts that we are in the shit and who got us here with record unemployment and record debt. Funny how he’s been quiet all these years. This was a cheep shot from a cheep minister!.
that would be the tories from thier previous reign of terror in the 80s NL were just trying damage limitation during their adminstration.The labour flag is deepest pink its not as red as people think...just Tory light these days
Yes as a matter of fact he did. He went there, walzed around and came back.
I've been a lib dem supporter since I was about 10, but this is the first election I could not bring myself to vote for them. Maybe I just don't hate immigrants enough.

No immigration has ruined this country as it's ruined most other European countries. The far-right movement is growing and I can't wait for a chance to get our homeland back.

@Myles0Harcourt I don't care about the Monarchy. What I do care about is the fact they steal tax payer's money. That is DISGUSTING and people like you who support it are revolting.

You are obviously a sad and abusive person. Do you think a president would be any less expensive? To be honest, I would rather the Royals got my money than council bureaucrats and the EU, and foreign immigrants on benefits.
Myles0Harcourt 1 year ago
@Myles0Harcourt No head of state should claim more than a minimal amount of money from the tax payer. It is revolting. I don't want a president- like I said, I don't care about the Monarchy. But claiming public money is disgusting.
ToaJoe 1 year ago
@ToaJoe
The queen is a special type of politician, who represents the UK here and abroad. She stabilises the country, and a constant head of state with a clear line of replacement is surely much better than a head of state appointed by a government. And if you don't want a Monarch, and you don't want a president, whom do you want for head of state? Or are you an anarchist?

@ToaJoe I like how you (incorrectly) assume that I am a Tory, I think Cameron is a cunt as much as anyone else. Maybe if people like you pulled your head out of your arse long enough to stop crying over 62p and do something with your life, we wouldn't have this VAT increase and all this anger over student fees.

@Myles0Harcourt I like the way you Tory voters expose yourself as closet racists through small things you say, like what you just said about welfare payment for new migrants. It's hilarious, you people claim to be against racism but deep down you have your personal feelings, and you hate these immigrants coming to our shores.
ToaJoe 1 year ago
@ToaJoe
To say I am racist is insulting and unfounded. The right wing elements of the party may be racist. I am not. I welcome immigrants as long as they are prepared to enhance this country and be of value to society. the same expectations I would have of someone who is completely British.

What a fantastic man. 'Outmoded Labour ideals'? How can fairness and equality be 'outmoded ideals'? Yes, they are ideals, but surely as a progressive and intelligent race we should be navigating ourselves away from the primordial ideology that inhabits the hearts of right wing 'one up man ship'. What haunts me is that some people will truly enjoy all the damage these cuts make to the lower half of society, the war continues to rage between the haves and have nots.

Maybe Dennis can come up with a better plan to reduce the deficit? Oh that's right, he doesn't have one, the was an outburst because he didn't agree with the coilition, not because he didn't agree with cuts(which have to happen). He is playing to the public, and he is an idiot.

@Jerome112
some cuts were necessary but not of the magnitude or pace that this 'rag tag n bobtail government' preach to us (so many times the most gullible among us believe them), the last quarter showed another percentage rise in growth suggesting the country was on the right track to recovery. Now we have stopped growth with a continual tyrade of cuts. To get the ripest tomato you must give the plant the nutrients it needs to grow.

I loved the way he used intelligent reason and argument to justify his political point of view, otherwise he may have just sounded like a bitter old man who has finally been allowed to shout at someone. I also note you didn't include Laws' cool and calm response that destroyed Skinner. Pathetic ramblings from a pathetic opposition.
