I take it you've not seen the Labour PArty posts, where all comments have to be "approved" before posting....and like the old bloke at the Labour conference, you'll end up being arrested as a terrorist if you diagree with the Stalinist labour line

I absolutely agree mattyr2k8. This bunch of sinister shit kickers need to go. The abolition of the 10p rate was Evil even in it`s conception. But to execute it is fucking vile, and it stinks of shit with bob on it !! Bastards.

One example: the only time my dad has been unemployed in his 49 year old life was in 80's when Thatcher was in. She intorduced pole tax, nearly killed off the NHS. And you all seem to think that's a good thing.

[Mahxirb]

Thank you! Finally, a sensible person.

[theredraven]

Yeah but I'd be paying for those services with my taxes even though I don't use them.

Why should I? Why shuold you pay for my healthcare?

Right wing governments cut taxes. Thatcher cut taxes on the poor from 33% to 25%, and Major cut it to 22%. No government has cut taxes that much for the poor in history. She cut taxes on the rich from 80% to 40%, which proved the theory of the Laffer curve right.

The fact is, privitisation reduced prices. Check the figures. Prices rise naturally due to inflation, but in a market economy, competition keeps the price rices down.

I totally agree Mahxirb

You ignorant sheep need to realise that pathetic pecimistic criticism doesnt always mean the Tories know what theyre talking about.

[siandbezz]

Labour are the devil, lets exorcise the demon at the next GE.

[Mahxirb]

You know what right wing means? It means the richer get richer and the poorer get poorer.

I am saying it would be 50p IF the Tories had never privatized the bus companies.

[SSNAZIiMAN]

any thing would be better than labour

[SSNAZIiMAN]

Bus half price they are 1 pound in london you saying they would be 50p

Labour is a tax increaser because they spend more and have increased the welfare state spending on things like single mothers

Left wing increase taxes not right wing fool

[Mahxirb]

You lib dem?
