Them politicking Miliband bros play a familial game 'gainst protagonists Balls and Abbott who are better suited 2 heading our Labour Party. Them bruvs are cahooted 2 git either one elected. & there’s their Mother (Muv) pretendin’ to play stum 4 either? DOH!...

@possession2 What are you talking about, explain how Islamic extremists have anything to do with Labour, you are clearly just another right wing idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about. The Minimum wage, Sure Start children centres, EMA, huge NHS improvements to name a few. Diane for leader!

I remember this line up went on question time in the run up to a new labour leadership contest and not one of them mentioned immigration. How out of touch are the left with the general public? alot.

@BrainDeadBritain cant really fault labour their... also my arguement to u was if you dont vote labour then who will get into power ? who would you rather be in power? atleist their is a party out their.. yes labour... labour are the ones who saved us from the 80s and saved us from depresion! gordon brown ftw .. unlucky the media tried everything they could to get him out ;( was just saying who else is their? and labours probabley the right party the govern britian ;)

[evertonjf08]

@BrainDeadBritain also we dont sell out our own british workers thats all to do with the e.u and we cant really have an arguement against that becuase we were out ote by other e.u countries and im a fan of the e.u but... we should leave the e.u at it is. TURKEY mus NOT be able to join the e.u.. then well have massers of immigrants. CCTV cameras are a good film if their used in the right way, which they are btw ;)... also its upto companies about who they employ and unions to have a say soo...

[evertonjf08]

@BrainDeadBritain the thing about the DNA is good becuase actually i know some one who got raped and because some one was on the register they got caught so i dont know what your arguement is their. there isnt a immigration overload (dont listen to the sun and dailly mail) but i admit that there is alot of illegal imigrants over here!! and how can illegal imigrants sue us and use our courts when their illegally here in the first place ? also i thought iraq/afghanistan is the right desicion

[BrainDeadBritain]

@evertonjf08 If you call DNA swabbing of innocent people, CCTV cameras everywhere, immigration overload, man-hating fascists like Harlot Harperson and her anti-men ideas, selling out british workers to foreign ones, wars in Iraq/Afghanistan (only minor wars, eh?) etc...etc...etc......

I voted Labour all my life up to 2001. I USED to vote Labour. Now I vote for NO ONE.

[evertonjf08]

and that means back to the 80s !!! is that what we want ? NO! so its simple ! Vote labour ;p.... okay ill leave it at that xD i think i might of waffled on a bit haha.
