[Misc] Davey Cameron's rednbluenwhite army

[Diego Napier]

Really? The BBC's political editor, who has some idea what she's talking about, doesn't think so.

You decided you would dislike it before you even heard it.

Hah! You decided you would like it before you even heard it.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

I feel they go easy on them partly because the opposition is a total shambles.

Really? So you think it's the labour party's fault that the government are given an easy ride by the media?

That's quite a statement.

 

[Bozza]

Hah! You decided you would like it before you even heard it.

I didn't like it. Left wing claptrap.

 

[Kevlar]

well I will be happy to judge the Tories on affordable housing,eliminating poverty,
increasing social mobility and falling immigration numbers .Unfortunately for them that
would mean a strong market intervening government and not speeches and wishful thinking

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

The Government's policies for housing are a joke they are pandering to developers whilst hitting extremely under resourced Councils repeatedly over the head for failing to meet unassailable targets. They will keep fiddling around the edges but do nothing to address the problem, making changes to the definition of affordable housing until to make the term utterly meaningless. The trouble is the way most developers operate it is already getting away with throwing in 'self build' as a form of affordable housing, what a joke! They are getting away with throwing up houses on large sites with no constraints without providing affordable on the basis of some contrived viability assessment desperate for their 20% profit.

The only way you are going to provide enough housing is a Government let housebuilding scheme but there is fark all chance of that happening.

Really? So you think it's the labour party's fault that the government are given an easy ride by the media?

That's quite a statement.

The two key points are these - the media know it and the electorate knows it:

1. Corbyn is incapable of winning a General Election.
2. Labour cannot be trusted with the economy.

The Tories are the only option until such time as Labour and the Lib Dems get their act together, and so they're bound to get an easier ride when everyone can see Labour are completely rethinking their policy platform under Corbyn while the Lib Dems are still recovering from the shillaking they took at the last GE.

 

[Wrong-Direction]

Isn't it time you all stopped arguing and started talking about what the feck we are gonna do about Russia!?

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Just seen the **** crying on TV.

 

[Hampster Gull]

David moving into the space that New Old Labour have sprinted away from.

 

[Bozza]

Just seen the **** crying on TV.

Corbyn? I'm not sure why - he had no chance before today anyway.

 

[melias shoes]

All the employed folks on zero hours contracts will be able to listen in.

I've been on them all my working life. Never been better.

 

[Surf's Up]

Speech coming up at 11:30.

Sure to be an absolute CRACKER!

Bozza - you're a very naughty boy!!!!

 

[Peteinblack]

Sgive the boy a chance. He trying to change the Tory Party to what it should be One nation Tories.

He's had 10 years (became leader in December in 2005); how much more chance does he need!

I liked and respected the old, original, One Nation Tories: Harold Macmillan, Edward Heath (after 1972), Ian Gilmour, Francis Pym, etc - decent, humane, Conservatives with a conscience - but that generation has virtually died out, to be replaced by many Tory MPs who would sell their grannies for a quick profit, and who probably regret central heating because it means they can't send children up chimneys anymore!

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

The laziest PM in history and one of the laziest men in politics. Just empty words - none of this will happen. He'll go home tonight and take the next four years off. Just as he did the previous five.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

I feel they go easy on them partly because the opposition is a total shambles.

I'm not sure I believe what I am reading here.........

For "go easy on", perhaps read "support wholeheartedly in everything they do and say and think and promulgate lies and make things up to big up the Tories and rubbish everyone else so that their readers are frightened to vote for anyone else".

As for Mr Cameron tackling poverty in the country, how can you do something about things you don't understand?

 

[DataPoint]

He might be stretching it a bit in the use of the word 'panicking'

I think he meant "picnicking"

 

[vegster]

Fine words from Mr Cameron, lovely speech setting out your " Legacy ". Trouble is, it is only a speech and it isn't going to happen, the ideal that we are to be come a benevolent capitalist nation is laughable. Tory values are always that we need a large pool of workers willing to make the money for big business to get rich and enjoy.
Already there have been the rumblings over DC's insistence on a Living Wage, " This will cost Job's " thunders the CBI, why ? well because they are not going to cut the higher wage earners wages or dividends for shareholders. So, there will be fewer jobs and the old Tory mantra of " Working hard to Get On " will be rolled out again. The party political broadcast was hilarious with it's sugar coated optimism ... good jobs " If you work hard and want to get on ..." a " Good school Place " for your kids, a caring, supportive NHS and finally support for those few who have survived flogging their guts out to raise kids and survive paying a fortune in interest on a mortgage.

Lovely ideas David, but, the other Tories and big business will never let it happen.

 

[Dandyman]

Always nice to see the Nasty Party return to form - let the old starve, drive the working poor into penury and use racism to create a bit of good old fashioned divide and rule.

 

[jackanada]

Did he mention which of his pre election promises he kept? I've been trying to think of one for months.

I have tried to read all posts in this thread and have lost count of those who use ridiculously exaggerated statements to make a point. I see that "wacism" is also included -you just have to get that one in. Why is this done, I wonder?
