...the Liberal Democrats...probably share the Prime Minister’s view that Gillian Duffy is a bigot.

There is no such thing as fairness in society

Labour promise "A future fair for all" and the Liberal Democrats promise "Building a fairer Britain". Guess what? Life isn't fair. Get over it.

Life is an accident; where we were born and to whom. We are at the mercy of our genes and our environment. Some of us are more intelligent than others and some of us are stronger than others. Some of us are leaders, but most of us are followers. And some of us are simply more fortunate and make better choices than others. And so it goes on; we are not all equal.

It is a deception for any political party to promises fairness, because it can never and will never, be achievable.

All that can be done is to give people the opportunities to be their best; some will take those opportunities and some will not. But a few people, for whatever reason will be unable to take those opportunities and it's those people who need additional help.

Hypocrite Peter Mandelson attacks ‘long toffee nose’ of David Cameron

Peter Mandelson is probably the most snobbish, supercilious, stuck up (his own arsehole) individual (in other words, Toffee-Nosed) you could ever have the misfortune to meet.

More rank hypocrisy from the real Nasty Party.

Mao, Stalin, Kim Jong Il, Brown...It's all the same to me

Labour's 2010 manifesto cover reminds me of all those old communist propaganda posters of yesteryear.

David Cameron's Gene Hunt Will Sort This Country Out

Until today, Labour had successfully rewritten history. They had managed to paint the nineteen-eighties as a miserable decade for Britain, whilst airbrushing the nineteen-seventies out of the national consciousness.

It's easy to understand why: Labour were in power for most of the seventies, but the seventies were actually a grey, miserable decade, riven with industrial action by unions demanding (and securing) ever higher pay settlements for their members and turning our industries into uncompetitive shadows of their former selves. By contrast, the Conservatives were in power for all of the eighties; a brighter, optimistic time for many, and perhaps the darkest of times for a Labour party stuck in the past and trying to adapt to a changing Britain.

The irony is that most of the people promoting the distorted, Labour view, aren't even old enough to remember any of it...but I remember all of it.

Today, Labour appear to have scored an own goal by promoting David Cameron as cult TV hero Gene Hunt and drawing attention to the eighties which many people remember (myself included) as happier times.

If voting Conservative will take us back to the eighties, then voting Labour will take us back to the seventies.

It's OK for Brown to mention the "I" word in 2010

But when the Conservatives spoke about the problems of immigration at the last General Election, they were roundly condemned as racists and xenophobes. Labour hypocrisy. Again.

Be warned - Another step towards Stalinism

"With every passing year this country [the UK] more resembles a post-modern Soviet Union – and now they’re creating a generation of little Pavliks, the child glorified by Stalin’s authorities for reporting his parents to the authorities. How long before children are encouraged to report their parents to the authorities?"
