    More confirmation of stupidity. You have again mixed up left with Labour. Like the US, we are a country with two right wings. Do you read the Mail perchance (or perhaps just slobber over it and chew it)?

I guess you don't know many lefties, but Mandelson and the Brown government are viewed as Thatcher's heirs. But then again, as SAS has pointed out (I summarise) you know flip all except how to display your ignorance on CUK.

    Blair said they would be whiter than white in 1997 ......

    Now today there is confirmation, as if it was needed, of his hypocrisy re Formula 1 cigarette advertising.

    Left-wingers are hypocrites of the the highest order !!

    You knock private schools and yet you are always aiming to send your kids to private schools.

    You say we should all pay 'fair' taxes and yet you reappoint Mandelson who sold a house for 249,999 pounds to avoid tax and put the rest on the price re fixtures & fittings.

    You knock private sector companies for spending their own money, but you do not knock the public sector for the total waste of other people's money.

    etc etc etc




    The Tories are not perfect by any means but they are in no way as hypocritical as you lefties, and on top of that you dish out insults because you have no argument. You just cannot defend the indefensible, so you insult.

    You are either young and naive or a cretin. I think you are both.

    ... and you are a poor thinker

    When we start criticising private companies for spending their own money we are a rocky road to socialism and all the carp and waste that that entails.
    Barclays is not a private company, it is a PLC Public Limited Company and is primarily responsible to it’s public shareholders. That are accountable for their expenditure but this is really enforced.

    The fact that a politicos wife in involved in Barclays is a conflict of interest as public money is involved not to mention it’s politicians who make the Banking laws and regulations.

    We in the UK do not run and never have run a free market economy. Large corporate dominant the market and they used there influence (called corruption in any other country) to prevent small business from flushing through legislation and restrictive practices.

    ... and the article appears to accuse the Tories of lack of regulation, whereas it has been Gordon Brown that changed the powers of regulation to apply a light touch. Brown is the culprit after 11 years in HMG, not some guy called Osbourne that has never even been in power.

    I like that bit about hedge fund managers. Did you know that Gordon Brown has brought one into his cabinet in the latest reshuffle?

    As far as hedge fund managers are concerned though, they make money and they lose money, they pay tax, and they are entitled to donate to any political party that they like as long as it is within the law.
    It sounds like a hypocritical witch-hunt is going on here as usual. You can tell that Labour are low in the polls.
