HAVING inadvertently caused some offence with my rabid right-wing views on trying to avoid a Tory victory at the general election opposing government interference in what rich people pay themselves, I figured I’d better bow out of this debate and leave the last word to that great political philosopher (and my favourite standup) Ricky Gervais:

Yup!
That pretty much sums up Labours approach to employment.
But it’s good to see that Labour haven’t allowed the Greedy Bankers to continue to pay themselves huge bonuses . . . Oh?, hang on.
Still; only Eight months to go.

Terrific comedian, one of my favs.
Bugger what anyone else says. Keep up the blogging.
It’s a great way of getting to know people behind the main stream party politics and hype.
In fact possibly the only way, particularly for people with different political allegiances.

Hope he pays tax on the benifits in kind.

Take a look at the front page of the Times – Government suppression of criticism. Look at Grauniad and fresh comment(despite Lord Mandy’s spluttering and indignation yesterday.)
This is the death throws of a Government and the last stage is to try to silence any debate.
We are so far away from knowing what our Government is doing today that voices are completely drowned out and any debate starts with people labelled racist, fascist or remarkably “traitor”.
May as watch Ricky Gervais as watching what the House of Commons and Government is up to just makes you want to cry.

Well said Triffid.
I see that the Guardian, in particular, are currently purging commentators who exhibit any ‘anti-Labour’ bias in their posts . . . my little friend Tiergarten was recently banned for questioning Matt Seaton over his blatant stifling of debate on threads where Labour ‘members’ were allowed to just tell us all how good things were and how ungrateful we all were for not noticing. LOL
In 8 months it will all be over for them – but frankly they’re dead already and the smell from the corpse is only going to get worse between now and the General Election – assuming they don’t try to manufacture some “National Emergency” which means they have to postpone the election . . . it is ‘Labour’ we’re talking about after all.
Rigged postal voting . . . anyone?

Silent – Don’t you get even remotely embarrassed when reading back some of your own comments?
“assuming they don’t try to manufacture some “National Emergency” which means they have to postpone the election . . . it is ‘Labour’ we’re talking about after all.”
You do realise, don’t you, that grown up, sensible adults with lives and stuff don’t give any credence at all to this kind of verging-on-the-need-for-medication-type paranoia?
No wonder you use a pseudonym.

Labour = Control
You have your feedom eroded bit by bit under Labour.
They have intruded in every part of our private lives giving civil servants and and all areas of government more power than they have ever had before in piece time.
I think this is what I dislike most about labour, Control and interfearance whilst doing nothing about the issues that matter to us. they pick on the silent majority.
And waste our money that they think is theirs by right.

Mr Harris,
I really wouldn’t worry too much about Sunny Hundal.
He is a fool, and a belligerent one at that.
I don’t get the impression that many of the online community take him very seriously. He is more of a hindrance to Labour than a help.
Sunday 23 August 2009 at 12:56 pm
Tom: Great way to prove a point.
Never, ever listen to what people say. Just be as insulting as you can and try to insult people – still, isn’t modern politics wonderful ?
Sunday 23 August 2009 at 2:33 pm
Thank you Old Holborn.
That saved me having to point out the obvious – obvious, that is, to all except those in Labour who simply refuse to see what’s staring them in the face.
Great list BTW. ;o)
Tom!
If you’re going to abuse me . . . ;o) . . . you could always come to Fintry for that drink; then you could chase me around the bar and call me names. LOL

This what he does, though.
Pay no attention to the egomaniac behind the curtain…

When I say Labour interfear but do not attend to the basics for people. an example of this is that labour are allowing medicines that are purchased for this country to be re sold for profit whilst our people are going without. i now understand why dear old Mrs Gurney has had such problems obtaning the medication.
Is it a case of
” Let them Have Tamiflu”
I take her to the Doctors most weeks and she explained about the problems.
shocking.and who cares

“Silent” Hunter having a laugh as usual . .
When the Guardian moved to premoderate my posts I checked Tiergarten’s foul output:
Of his previous 15 posts 5 had been removed, and, to judge from very long experience of his bullying and abuse I was surprised he was not banned for life. But they had to pretend to some balance for their action against me.
I had had ONE post removed. http://quietzapple-musing.blogspot.com/2009/07/comment-is-not-free.html
Tiergarten, who uses the id 45Govt and various other gun ids on the Daily Telegraph, is renowned for having said that anything at all goes in his battle with HM Labour Government. Very boring.
At one point he did not surprise anyone by telling folk he had received a warning for bulling a young journalist who blogged there, Rosa Prince.
Tiergarten’s exclusion is no sign of the Guardian moving leftwards, possibly just a tiny piece of sanity.
