Ed Miliband defends his leadership of Labour to Adam Boulton (17Jan12)

[purpleprinc3]

Mr. Bean has got slimmer.

[louthegiantcookie]

Ed Miliband is trying to remove himself from under the thumb of his Union paymasters.

The Unions, fat-cat gangsters, long ago sold out the working man in order to play kingmaker in the English political stage. And now they're probably wondering why their latest puppet wants to cut the strings.

Maybe he's tired of being a joke, lads? Maybe, just maybe, he wants to be his own man and form his own ideas? We need a viable opposition which answers to the people, not a bunch of 1980's Union relics.

[nansir]

Politics is utter bullshit. We need to grow up. We don't need leaders. We are barely aware that we have leaders in our daily lives. The entire system is nonsense. Democracy is nonsense, we vote and nothing changes, what's the point??? We need to EvOlve. We need an entirely new world. Technology can create a world of Abundance and that has to be the goal. Unfortunately, in a World of Abundance money doesn't work anymore and so the world is a different place. Watch Zeitgiest Moving Forward 2011.

[BahamutDKing]

I love ed he gonna destroy a party that sold out England.

[64SGH]

Selling your grandkids into slavery, that's the way to go!

[ademlc1969]

Congratulations David camoron yet another high street chain Peacocks goes into receivership with the loss of thousands of jobs,the tory policy is not working and now its too late to do anything about it,£25 billion thrown away back in the 90s trying to prop up the £ now they are carrying on the trend of messing things up,we need a libdem revolt so we can get no confidence vote on this government and get Labour back in.

[arnoldsaxon]

This twerp along with his shadow chancellor Ed Balls under their mentor Gordon Brown caused these problems, over taxing, over spending, banking and financial services deregulation, closing down manufacturing, devolving power to wales and scotland, allowing welsh and scottish MP's to vote on issues affecting Enland when English MP's lost gthe right to vote on issues affecting Wales and Scotland, getting us into two wars one definitely illegal... creating a generation of welfare dependance...

[BONDYSCLASSICS]

He's just a bedwetter

[FutureWasYesterday]

Labour voted the wrong brother in. Ed for all he tries is just seen as a babyfaced individual who lacks conviction in what he says. Simply put, he seems a boy. Whereas his brother is a charismatic, and mature figure. Most importantly, he is better looking! As fickle as it sounds, it matters in politics, more so in recent years due to media portrayal.

[scotty686]

@FutureWasYesterday As sad it is to say, although Ed has much better political beliefs, David is the true PR man. The only thing that can beat Blair Mk2, is a Blair Mk3.

[scotty686]

@FutureWasYesterday And that's what wins elections.

[SonicOverlordUK]

It's funny, only two people in the whole UK seem to think Miliband has any clue on what to do with the economy, and they're both called Ed!

[MrSkunksmoke]

you can not trust any party or politition

[ElliotTM92]

So basically, people care more about their pay rise limit than job cuts in their sector, as long the job cuts don't affect them.

[CaramellaCream]

vast numbers of people couldn't give the tiniest shit about this, but anyway when are they going to address the real problem of why cannabis is still illegal in this day and age. It's embarassing

[Fierypeanut]

Yet again Miliband confirms that he has no definite economic policy. What a surprise!

[destinyson23]

so how much longer is this Keynesian/Socialist dipstick going to last?

[KaMiK2205]

"given the economic mess that they are making, and the economic mess that we will inherit if we win the next election"

Bloody hell, hes got a cheek hasn't he? Talking about the Tories making a mess of the economy and his party having to "inherit" it. Is he completely oblivious to the fact that this current "economic mess" has been one long continous mess since 2008, when his party was in government? This recession started under Labour, and the last I checked, it hasn't finished.

[HarrysSecret]

@KaMiK2205 That's as maybe, but unregulated lending has been encouraged by all in power, not just labour.

Cameron is looking out for his own interests, and those of his cronies, this is the end of the middle class as we know it anyway. So don't count on Dave to do the right thing by anyone, other than those in the highest tax bracket.

As for Milliband, he'll never be PM. Too weak.

[Fierypeanut]

@HarrysSecret Once again, another left-wing media-inspired rant about how Tories are only interested in protecting the rich. Where will it all end? It is immaterial how the Labour party dresses itself from day to day; they still want to protect the interests of the Unions and their members, so surely it is Labour MPs who are protecting the interests of only their supporters. This whole "let's hate the rich / we are the 99%" means inevitable socialism and communism in the long run if successful.

[ElliotTM92]

@Fierypeanut Of course they're just protecting their supporters, as is Politics.

At the end of the day, it all comes down to which set of supporters represents a larger majority of the country. Sadly the Conservative umbrella not only represents a minute proportion of this nation, but also some of the highest payed, making them a fine example of democracy indeed.

[Fierypeanut]

@ElliotTM92 The Conservative umbrella actually covers a greater percentage of the population than any other political party's, as evidenced by the last election. If the country were to continue with this "all rich people are evil" policy, then there would be no reason for anyone to try to succeed. A word that's bandied about by Labour of late is "fairness" when opposing equal percentage levels of tax. Can someone please explain Labour's reasoning on what "fair" is? Surely equality is equity

[ilikethingsfromjapan]

D-Cam :adore:

[davehowellman]

Dear new labour, do yourselves a big favour and get rid of this tw@ - seriously!!! He makes me like David Cameron, and I am on JSA!!!

[ademlc1969]

Surely the tories wont get in again someone please tell me they cant can they?well if im still around in 2015 as who knows i might have topped myself by then,i will be voting labour again but cant see they stand much chance of winning now that the libdems no longer exist and are all tories now.

[thetruthcounts93]

@ademlc1969 you can't be serious? the tories would be much better than this fool. his eyes don't even point in the same direction

[KaMiK2205]

@ademlc1969

Whatever the fuck you are smoking, I want it.

[ademlc1969]

@KaMiK2205 lol its all gone mate

[KaMiK2205]

@ademlc1969

must have been strong stuff, to make you so loopy.

[ademlc1969]

while the poorest are kicked off the dole,and then what when they dont work how the fuck are they meant to survive??oh yes i forgot no one cares anyway after all you lot voted these idiots in and now they have brought the country to its knees where now?but hey as david says "were all in it together" er no david actually you have millions of pounds stashed away while the rest of us mere mortals have to scrimp and scrape which you would know nothing about and have you taken a pay cut?

[ademlc1969]

bet the unions are kicking themselves now that they didn't go for david!!but i cant understand how the tories got in again,cold heartless people who hate less well off people or us peasants im really starting to hate wealthy people now with their fortunes.they caused this mess anyway.

[KaMiK2205]

@ademlc1969

Are you reading from a script? Sure sounds like it.

[ademlc1969]

@KaMiK2205 Why would i be reading from a script to post a comment on you tube get real.what because ive got more than 3 words to say.

[KaMiK2205]

@ademlc1969

Because everything you say is so damn predictable. Your comments tick all the boxes, contain all the buzz words. "The poorest people, kicked off the dole, how can they survive, no one cares about them, Tories are idiots, brought the country to its knees, Tories are rich and greedy" yada yada yda...

Your comments sound like party political propaganda. Its always the same with Labour and their supporters "the tories are evil, and we're altruistic angels. Vote for us!".

[ademlc1969]

@KaMiK2205 open your eyes its not propaganda and it ticks all the right boxes because its true.don't know if you can remember black Wednesday back in 1992 when John major was pm the Tories threw about 25billion down the drain trying to prop up the £.but it failed miserably, and speculators are still living comfortable to this day because of it.

[KaMiK2205]

@ademlc1969

Yes, but by the time Labour took over in 97, the economy was already recovering. Compare that £25 billion to the trillions Labour added to the national debt over 13 years in power. All three parties are corrupt, all three parties are incompetent, but Labour is the worst. Every Labour government ends in a recession, every Tory government ends in growth. You must be nuts if you think Labour has the answers to any problems that the country faces.

[chrltnbrjh]

Boulton is on fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[Carnuss]

Ed Miliband is a twat.

[crackmonster99]

He's OK considering the circumstances. It's always hard to lead a party after it's lost an election after a long period of ideological shift while in power. He's being squeezed by all sides and this speaks more about what's going on inside the party rather than where he personally stands on issues

.

[thatsthewayitgoes09]

@crackmonster99 Yes but who's this 11 year old little boy talking about Labour?

Shouldn't he be in school or doing home work?!!? Why ask him? He's got no clue.

He's still a virgin and children like him shouldn't be exposed to the adult world.

[SteveFusionX]

there will be "less money around" because you AND the conservatives (along with the lib-dems) are pro-EU, anti-british war-mongerers.

You'd rather spend BILLIONS of tax payers money blowing up arab nations and donating to israel, brazil and other places on this planet that do NOT need our money than keeping hospitals open and giving workers a fair pension when they retire.

Lib/Lab/CON are globalists which is why Britain is broke; the voters are too thick to vote outside of the "norm".

[yeldnam]

Jerry Sienfield isn't as funny as he used to be.

[liarpoliticians]

@yeldnam Yada yada yada!

[purpleprinc3]

@yeldnam That's who I was thinking of!!!! Thank you.

[skeletorphd]

@platosays He sounds like it as well.

To be fair, he always has.

[arthur1411]

I know where I've seen this before - Harperson Is Ms Piggy & Miliband Jr is Kermit (AKA The Great Gonzo or Beaker). Dr. Bunsen Honeydew is Len McCluskey

Balls is Fozzie the Bear, Darling is the Sam the Eagle & Maria & Angela - Rowlf the dogs.

[kevinto1972]

ROFL Good plan Ed. 90% of the country hates you, so why not piss off the other 10%.

[MODTRASH]

Ha Ha, twat!

[MrTolleMolle]

practically a fucking vampire

[erelpc]

Nicely done, Ed! Quite the smooth talker isn't he? ;)

[86penfold]

he is rubbish

[platosays]

He looks about 16yrs old in this video.
