Why Labour are Scum

[krink]

Need a new plan cos at the end Jimmy drives the scooter over the cliff but he isn't on it. He just walks off back to reality.

 

[xenon]

Not this shit again.

 

[krink]

Shame Sting wasn't on it when it went tho

 

[bamalama]

Don't you have to be riding a Lambretta to pull that one off properly, though?

Nope you need a rally 200 disguised as a gran sport 160

he's got a push scooter and that'll have to do.

Does it involve flaming torches and pitchforks? Just that if it does I need to keep an eye on the price of oil.

Would rope and a hammer do in a pinch or would I be the only one without a flaming torch?

Just to say that I would fully support entryism if the primary strategy was, in lieu of a better name, "the angry rabble of peasants" approach. In austerity Britain, especially in urban areas, pitchforks are a bit of a luxury. If I instead turn up with some random household utensil, like my two-year old mop or three-year old paint roller, I would feel a little self-conscious.

Yep, good old Labour who visited the so-called "Benefits Integrity Project" on disabled people, a decade before Iain Dunked-in Shit was sicced on us by Cameron. Labour tend to forget how many suicides, hunger strikes etc accompanied that clusterfuck of a "probe" into fraudulent claims, and how few cases of fraud it actually turned up.

It is forgotten that Duncan Smith was paraded around by both Labour and Tories as an intellectual on issues of worklessness. He even had some think tank while in opposition that produced policy proposals.

 

[Hocus Eye.]

Nope, they're "modernising". Room for expansion and an increase in prison places is just a side effect, as are the expected PFI profits...

The "Prison Estate". I have heard of the Fourth Estate which is the media, there is also nowadays a description of bogging and similar as the Fifth Estate, but I had no idea that there was this Sixth Estate - the prisons

.

IDS an intellectual, I laugh until I cry. Is "intellectual" another of those words that has changed its meaning in the modern world?

It is good to be reminded of Labour's past crimes lest anyone despairing of austerity be tempted to think of voting for them. That is not a mistake we need to re-visit. There is no hope or succour to be had from the so called Labour Party. It is not ours anymore.

The Centre for Social Justice. Dunked-in Shit supposedly had an epiphany after visiting the Easterhouse estate in Scotland, and seeing the work done there under Bob Holman's guidance. Holman was very quick to make sure people knew that Dunked-in Shit's ideas had no roots in what Holman had been doing.

These are important issues. Many can't even afford decent gaffer tape or wood-handled mops these days. If left much longer it will be workfare slaves armed with sporks.

It seems Keir Starmer, former DPP and ex-Marxist, now promoter of the 'ten years for benefit fraud' rule, which the Tories are taking up, is considering becoming a Labour MP.

Oh joy. Ex-Marxist. No doubt Awesome Wells will be holding this guy up as a shining beacon that entryism is alive and well in the Labour Party.

Angela Eagle, "Labour needs a "decisive break" with neoliberalism"

Mmm, but at least some of them are naming the beast now...

Btw, has anyone posted anything on their 'Your Britain' site?

The only alternative

On Sunday one delegate forced a vote on a demand for an emergency budget in 2015 to allow a Labour government to rip up the coalition's spending plans for 2015-16. Members, however, voted by 125 to 14 in favour of the leadership's proposal to accept the coalition's plans for day-to-day spending – but not necessarily capital spending – in the first year of the next parliament.

 

[articul8]

This is bad, yes, but it doesn't follow that they won't be able to shift spending priorities, or that borrowing for capita investment is not worth having.

Keep telling yourself this. Keep telling everyone else this too. Keep on hacking.

Delusional, Cruddas has got everything he wanted, including a move to localised benefits which means a form of parish relief in the future

Will there ever come a time when you stop justifying such political reacharounds?

if you read 'private eye' you'd know that any involvement with crapita was not worth having. and certainly not worth borrowing for.

 

[articul8]

capita investment

ah the ruses of the unconscious mind - this is sadly very apt

Tony Blair today launched a thinly-veiled attack on Ed Miliband’s march to the left, warning Labour will be consigned to opposition if it treats private enterprise as “contaminated” and puts “strict ideology” ahead of voters’ demand for choice and quality in public services.

The financial crisis does not mean that the public have “fallen back in love with the State”, Mr Blair said, he as insisted the New Labour recipe remains the “surest route to electoral success”.

Why doesn't tony blair just fuck off and join the tories?

for that matter, why doesn't tony blair just fuck off?

I think the more we see of him in the papers the less coverage he is getting overseas. Is he still the ambassador for peace?

 

[brogdale]

Talking of "ambassadors of peace"....our REd went to see Barak, at his gaff, yesterday...

"Ed Miliband's march to the left". Hilarious.
