Just before the 1983 General Election, Neil Kinnock uttered these ominous words,
If Margaret Thatcher wins on Thursday, I warn you not to be ordinary. I warn you not to be young. I warn you not to fall ill. I warn you not to get old.
He could equally have been warning about the state of the [...]

The video below was made by Christians in Politics, a group that brings together Christians from New Labour, the Tories and the Lib Dems. You can hear Brown, Cameron and Clegg’s attempts at pretending they care what Christians think.

Gordon Brown is his usual bizarre self. He says that churches and the Christian charities are Britain’s [...]

There are many millions of people in this country – perhaps the majority – who want a return to a more civilised society. Many of them will vote for the ‘Conservative’ Party because they are supposed to conserve traditional values.
But they have allowed themselves to become so intimidated that they barely dare step out of [...]

Further to my previous post, this is the genuine Labour Pledge Card…

Here is the reverse…

Okay, let’s get fisking…
Secure the recovery and halve the deficit through economic growth, fair taxes and cuts to lower priority spending.
Halve the deficit: just like that! From the people who have more than doubled it – how? Through economic growth. What [...]

Yes, I know the very idea is hilarious after they welched on the ‘promises’ in their last manifesto. Maybe a pledge is a real promise. A bona-fide, non-fingers-crossed-behind-your-back sort of promise. Or maybe it’s just a furniture polish.
Those nice people at mybillboard.net have again gone to the trouble of enabling us to make our own, [...]

Tom Harris has posted this video of Gordon Brown listing New Labour’s “achievements”.
I imagine it sounds very convincing – to those who allow themselves to be drowned in the sea of grand ideas and emotion.

This is what I told Tom:
Any thinking person would question almost everything on this list of ‘achievements’. I don’t have the [...]

In a very unbelievable and silly speech in Coventry today, the Gorgon set out his vision for a fairer Britain. It sounded well done, actually, so that millions of gullible folk will fall for it yet again, in a sort of “fair-for-families” Groundhog Day way.
I left the following comments on Tom Harris’s blog:
Oh, Tom, it’s [...]

We’ve had a laugh over the various party political posters so far, so you would think that New Labour’s actual election posters would have been thoroughly thought out. Instead, wee Dougie Alexander has come up with this slogan:
A future fair for all
Less than an hour after the unveiling, the joke posters are on the internet.

After thirteen years of New Labour mismanagement (to put it mildly), what are you hoping for when Dave becomes Prime Minister in a couple of months’ time?
A referendum on the Lisbon Treaty? Forget it. A more sensible relationship with our EU ‘partners’? Not very likely. A better NHS? Schools that educate rather than indoctrinate? A [...]

Politics.co.uk reports that,
One third of university students do not know Gordon Brown is leader of the Labour party, according to a surprising new survey out today.
The poll, conducted by student accommodation provider Unite, asked 1,500 students about various political issues.
A third also did not know David Cameron was leader of the Conservative party, while 48 [...]
