And another thing…

Now, all they need to do in return is update my site address in their own links…

Unfortunately, they only link to Labour blogs…

“Their latest posting on the Tories’ “Labour’s (still) not working” poster provides an excellent and concise reminder of why the Conservative party deserves to languish in opposition forever.”

Typical living in the past. 1982 when unemployment hit 3 million was 27 years ago. It is going to hit it again some time late 2009/early 2010.

And some Conservative will post something similar about Labour.. in 2036.

It’s totally irrelevant to today when we have another Labour Government running a RECORD budget deficit and the BOE telling the PM he needs to control spoending.

No PM should ever have to be told that.

It is all horribly reminiscent of the 1970s.. when we had another bunch of incompetents running the country : both Labour and Conservative.. and a mad union movement with Scargill trying their best to destroy the economy.

Thanks goodness some things have changed for the better.

Thanks, Tom [editors blush]! We’ve fixed our blogroll link to you now.

Madasafish: “Typical living in the past. 1982 when unemployment hit 3 million was 27 years ago.”

That’s the whole point. The Tories are living in the past by re-releasing this poster.

And good point from Andrew F. We’re working on a list of our favourite right wing blogs as I write this.

Your after a comedy award, right?

Mind you, if you’d wanted to really make your readers fall off their chairs with laughter you could have said something like…

‘…why the New Labour party deserves to remain in government forever.’

Andrew F was taking a shot at Tom H.

You are hilarious sometimes. It’s Labour that are facing a lifetime on the opposition benches, not the Tories. And I say that as someone who hates both parties!

@ The Grim Reaper

Gordon doesn’t seem to be the only one suffering from the “bunker mentality”.

Barely a day goes by that I don’t see a ‘Tory lead slashed to just 10%’ quote, someone highlighting imaginary rifts in the Conservative party or wargaming what might happen in the event of a hung parliament.

It all reminds me of the US Republicans telling interviewees on election day that McCain still might win it and “to wait for the results to come in” despite the fact that everyone with half a brain know he was a loser.

blakburnlabour@- ‘The Tories are living in the past by re-releasing this poster’.

‘How cynical to invoke the suffering and anguish of unemployment while never daring to go anywhere near real jobless people.’

still by the end of this year there will be enough ‘real jobless people’ for any number of poster campaigns

by the way,can i refer you to labourlist for a better example of a poster from the past – it’s true the wording has been slightly amended from the original but with a pdf link it is ideal for anyone wishing for a print to put up on the student union bar wall.

Thumbs up to Blackburn Labour.

Regarding ‘favourite right wing blogs’ why would you feel the need to sully yourselves by including them on your blogroll? (I would make an exception for Iain Dale though, he’s alright.) The rest you could include for comedic value, but their relentless bile and stupidity does get a bit wearing after a while.

The revival of the ‘not working’ poster shows the contempt that the Tories have for the electorate. That poster was an embarrassment to them for years after they’d made unemployment far worse. As Blackburn Labour pointed out, it’s more to do with their misguided belief that they are about to sweep to another election victory as per 1979.

The current economic crisis has made people small-c conservatives. This means that come the election they may well get cold feet about the prospect of Cameron and Georgie Boy Osbourne being put in charge.

By the way, I live in the second safest Tory seat in the country (Huntingdonshire) and even people here grudgingly concede that Brown is more qualified to deal with the economic crisis – and that it wasn’t of his making.
