    Then of course we have the asylum mess, deportation mess and the fact that 10 per cent of our prisoners are foreigners !!
    The poles are not a problem, the problem immigrants are from non EU countries. In fact thanks to the Poles now that the credit crunch is on we can all go and find jobs in poland.

    When one day this Effen bee keeper
    Got stung by a big Effen bee!!!!!



    Now the Effen bee keepers “wee” Effen wife
    For the big Effen “ polis “ she ran
    For there’s naebody can sort out a big Effen bee
    Like a big Effen polis man can


    Now the big Effen polis was fit as a fiddle
    And he ran doon the main Effen street
    In his hand was a big Effen baton
    He had big Effen boots on his feet

    Now the big Effen polis caught the big Effen bee
    And he twisted the Effen bee’s wings
    But the big Effen bee goat it’s ain back
    ‘Cos this big Effen bee hud twae stings

    Now they’re both in the Effen museum
    Where the Effen folk oft come tae see
    The remains of the big Effen polis
    Stung tae death by a big Effen bee.

    This is the problem you have, you automatically assume pointing out the Tories made similar mistakes/had similar policies is tantermount to supporting the Labour party. I'm sorry if the truth upsets you but they are more similar than your imagination. Even if the selective memory loss is protecting your feelings I have to tell you David Cameron is not Jesus and the shadow cabinet are not the disciples. There I said it!

    As I said, they are Diet Coke.

    Every Tory leader's days are numbered from the start, of course: the party is a machine for gaining and exercising power, and if you can't do that, you are as transient as an ineffectual Roman Emperor: the knives are always ready.

    But actually I'm coming to respect Cameron more than I expected to.....
    I do not see any movement against Cameron now nor do I expect there to be any in the foreseeable future. However, apart from being a way to oust nuLieBore from power where is the ‘vision’? He lacks the character of a true leader. He is a weapon breed for a single purpose that has past.

    It's not working because the general public have seen total incompetence with their own eyes, and no amount of BBC propaganda can change people's views of their own experiences. 10%...

    Things are not going to change that much, look at the manifestos. I just want government out of my face so I will vote Diet Pepsi this time as opposed to the full sugar version

    ... the Bishop of Birmingham told delegates at the Conservative Party conference that he greeted them “in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ”. It was as though he and the Son of God had been speaking just that morning and JC had said to the Bish: “Do say hello to the Tories from me.”
    Cammeron was created to fight a foe that is no longer there: B'Liar. He is his clone, but that war is over.

    If ever, and I still believe it is not as certain as some people think, they ever get to form another government then many people will be very disapointed with what they get. In most respects the Conservatives are just as bad as nuLieBore.

    Yet somehow Labour have an amazing ability to control things the Tories couldn't, which surely points to the Tories being ineffectual? A Conservative Government won't be some kind of utopia with free BJs on the NHS, however I'm sure it will be better than this one.
