Is Anyone Impressed By Labour’S Latest Election Broadcast?

[naomi24]

Its worryingly vulgar puerility says much about the mentality behind it. Vote Labour? I think not.

There are no doubt, some wealthy Tories, but they aren't alone.

Really there's little you could say about IDS that I wasn't aware of already -- I'm just surprised that of all the bunglers in the government (Theresa May and Abu Hamza springs to mind as one utterly bizarre example), IDS was singled out. And, perhaps, pleased too!

[Kromovaracun]

Oh, I agree. We are spoiled for choice. But for me personally IDS and Michael Gove just happen to sit on two of my "hot button" issues.

[jim360]

On second thoughts, perhaps "pleased" is overstating it -- why should I be pleased that we have someone so useless in charge of the benefits system?

[youngmafbog]

Why not, we had a whole bunch in noo labour that trashed the country?

And before you start, no it was not all the Bankers fault, they didnt spend the money it was well spent before they caused anything.

It's been suggested that of all the governments and Ministers that have served as Secretary of State for the DHSS/DSS/DWP since 1980-81, the current regime of IDS and Mike Penning (Minister of State for Disabilities) is the worst and most unpleasant to work in. That's up against some fairly hefty competition, too.

Labour are certainly responsible for some disastrous legacies. Not least is the disastrous pushing of public-private partnerships in the health service (which seems to have been motivated by the idea that the highest priority for a hospital should be profit).

Without a word of exaggeration, the only advantage Labour has over the Tories for me is that it lacks MG and IDS. Which is a bit like saying that one roach-infested stinkhole is better than another roach-infested stinkhole because the first one does not have a resident maniac who urinates on the curtains and occasionally sets fire to your grandmother. Technically speaking it's true - but something has gone very, very wrong if they are your only two options.

i haven't see it i confess, nor by the looks of it worth viewing.
had the cons produced one of their own election broadcasts of Labour bods portrayed as cloth capped, whippet racing northern types wouldn't this be just as idiotic, as far as i know they haven't because its not the truth of the matter. People in the North would likely vote for tories, as anywhere. stupid nonsense.

You can watch it in my link, Emmie. Third picture down.

i did open your link, i didn't see it on tv, puerile best describes it

both parties have employed American spin doctors, they shouldn't, if you knowing anything at all about American politics, its not what either party should be doing, but laying out clearly what the plans for the country are, the election, and the referendum vote - and the hot issues of immigration
