Bin rage

popcorn anyone?

Monty Python couldn't make this up. Peoplesoft bloke points out that today's voters are Thatcher's children, educated under the pressure of Tory cuts.

Cyberman naturally sees this as an(other) opportunity to blame Tory cuts on Labour policies! WAFW (anyone need a glossary?)

Tory cuts in the next Parliament will be directly due to Labour's failed policies which have caused massive debt, nearly 200 Billion pounds of it in this year alone.
Even if Labour won, Labour would still have to make their own massive cuts.

Do you really dispute this logical point ?

I'll have some.

Waiting for platypus to defend CB, should be interesting.

I just noticed that my neighbour has put his big blue wheelie-bin outside my house this evening(Monday) in the cul-de-sac. The rubbish is not collected until Thursday for heavens sake !!!!!

Don't say anything - just back your car into it by accident. If anyone notices, make a really bad job of clearing it up.

Funny you should say that, but another neighbours bin got that treatment from my car last year.

Well perhaps your neighbour is going away or something, and won't be around to put the bin out.

If you were any sort of a neighbour, perhaps he'd feel comfortable about asking you to put his bit out on the right day.

But I expect your neighbour is probably as wary of you as I and the rest of the CUK congregation are.

You really are struggling to deal with the utter failure of labour and socialism arent you?

Not at all, firstly I accept this government is a total shambles and has been flippin useless on the whole. For what it's worth, they haven't been what I'd call socialists, either, having followed a largely Thatcherite agenda. Unfortunately for us all, that doesn't automatically mean the Tories will be any better. In 97 I didn't think anyone could be as crap as the Major government. It's taken some time, but they have managed it.

A Thatcherite agenda would have included immense thrift and would certainly not have included a rise in the upper rate of tax, uncontrolled immigration and decimation of pensions.

Thatcher left in 1990. So anyone born after 1985 would not have been educated under Thatcher. So anyone under 24 has not had any education under Thatcher.

True (and the reason I didn't make reference to Thatcher in that context) but we had a Tory administration until 97

I suppose that what really irritates me is that the Tories will get in, make an equally big mess of it in a different way, and the Tory fanboys will alternate between trumpeting that everything really is better, and blaming it all on the previous lot.

I am no fan of Labour, and in the case of New Labour am resolved not to vote for them come what may. But it is head-shakingly depressing to read so many people souting their future history of Cloud Cuckoo Land wherein the Tories make everything right. I do hope your rose-coloured glasses are to hand.

Well put and my sentiments exactly.
