Goodbye New Lie

[Bagpuss]

The lack of Tory policies is only what used to be said by the Tories about Labour when they were in opposition - If you show your hand then the party in power will cherry pick your best policies. Also since the economy looks like it is on the slide, you cannot start to announce things like taxation and spending plans when you have no idea what sort of mess you are likely to be faced with when you eventually get into power

More excuses are not exactly what the country needs.

.. The Tories have been short on clear policy. I'm hoping they have some secret radical plans in the bag to turn back the increasingly large state.

Short of taking the UK out of the EU, or renegotiating our membership, they can't. It's as simple as that. Apart from a bit of futile fiddling around with trivial and marginal issues, practically all UK economic policy is now decided in Brussels.

In any case Cameron is a EU-fanatic, more so than Gordon Brown I reckon. So there's no way he'll change the UK's relation with the EU in the foreseeable future, and therefore practically sod all he can do.

Or people hate Liebour that much.

Little do they realize that the tories are labour in disguise these days.

They're not listening. Yet.

Given the current economic woes the Conservatives could inherit a poisoned chalice - what to do ?

Having given this matter great thought, the best solution would be to scrap
the proposed Trident upgrade - which amounts to a vast amount of UK taxpayers money being awared to the US millitary industrial complex for no
apparent strategic millitary justification.


What does the panel think - could this be a trump card for the Conservatives ?

The Tories have inherited a poison chalice every time New Lie/Labour lose power, and each time the Tories have left power New Lie have been given a growing economy.
New Lie have never turned a bad situation around, so it's up to the Tories yet again. Hopefully, the electorate will at last see this and keep the high-taxing, corrupt, failing and controlling socialists out for a very long time.
I see this as a great opportunity for the wealth-creating Tories.

I'm afraid I agree with Baggy. The Tories have been short on clear policy.

I dont believe they do. No difference between them. I have voted tory every time (6 times now - even 1997) but I wont be next time.

David Cameron's comments about "feckless fathers" did not help much either.

[HairyArsedBloke]

David Cameron’s standing ovation for B’Liar was the final straw for me. At the final question time he should have said something like “we will see you and the rest of you gangsters hang for what you have done”. He is trying to turn the Conservative Party in nuLieBore II or as it is now named “David Cameron’s Conservatives”. I do not believe that there is any real prospect of improvements in the lives of ordinary people.

Here is the HairyArsed manifesto:

Before there can be any tax cuts, and they are desperately needed, there has to be massive cuts in current and future expenditure. The principal target has to be the public sector payroll and pension commitments. Almost all of those who have been hired by nuLieBore should be dismissed and their pensions cancelled on the grounds that they were originated under false pretences.

Membership of the European Union costs the country far more than it receives in benefit above what it could obtain as being in a free association. Withdrawal should be immediate.

I must admit that at the time I did agree with the military interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq. At the time I was spending a lot of time the other side of the Atlantic and I fell for the lies that came from the British government. I still see these as separate campaigns; but I have doubts about Afghanistan, and don’t believe we should have had anything to do with Iraq.

Obviously scrap ID Cards and all those other idiotic government IT projects.

One piece of new expenditure would be a full public enquiry into the activities of the nuLieBore regime and their supporters (collaborators). Full commitment should be made to repairing the damage done to both individuals and the country as a whole. Once the members of nuLieBore have been executed, the proceeds from the estates should cover the cost of the enquiry making it self-financing in the end.

It is going to take two or more generations (i.e. > 50 years) to repair the damage done to the UK. I may not get there with you, but we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land.

Why, what excuses are new ******* using now?

Here is the HairyArsed manifesto:

You'd get my vote.

[OwlHoot]

HairyArsedBloke, you'd get my vote.

I wouldn't go as far as executing anyone, although perhaps that was tongue in cheek (or maybe not ). But one of my reasons is along the lines of "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me", in that having won three elections in a row the blame now lies not with them but us, so to speak, where the latter is a sufficiently large proportion of gullible voters.
