The Crewe By Election   
Parliament lied to, Iraq invaded,Immigration control failed, NHS crippled, 
Nurses, Firemen, Doctors, Army and Cops failed on their pay and job 
security, Eye popping taxation levels, Northern Rock, 10 P tax ripoff, 
Unfair NHS services across the 3 nations, No English parliament, Did not 
keep EU referendum promise, Gun crime, sex offences and violent crime 
doubled, millions of unemplyed hidden on disability lists, Schools 
ruined,Council tax doubled, rampant fuel taxation, food costs doubled, 
housing market and mortgage industry ruined,the Military demoralised, The 
English seen as 2nd class, I wonder why folk voted against LIEBOUR.

It looks like people have acted wisely before we return to the vision of 3 
day weeks, power cuts, weekly walk outs, rampant militancy, unchecked 
terrorism, uncollected rubbish, town hall strikes and trade union 
interference in our government.

The FILTHY Disease that is socialism is on the way out.

Do New labour not support the wasteful NHS, Do they not spend more than ever 
on social security, and benefits, have the numbers on welfare not more than 
doubled, yes they are socialists, typical socialists, corrupt, immoral and 
failures. Socialism NEVER works.

Then I guess the Tories are socialists too, they supported the NHS and 
had millions on benefit.

Any party that tries to take away the NHS will be voted out or not voted 
in at all.

Indeed they used to be when they were last in power, who knows what
they believe in these days.
The concepts of Benefits and the NHS are not socialist in themselves,
but the way in which these things are administered in the UK is
socialist.

It would be possible to have a benefit system that when you loose your
job, only payed a percentage (say 60%) of what you used to earn, for
say up to six months, funded by contributions while you are in work,
with no means testing.  With no other benefits.  In this system,
getting pregment will not help, and you will not be punished for
prudently saving for a rainy day.

You could keep the NHS, without having it so sociolist, e.g. by
allowing patients to pay for optional extras in addition to the basic
NHS treatment.  I do find it very sad, that if your dog needs a scan /
tests, it is easy to get the results within 24 hours, but as a mere
human you could wait 6 months or more.

Could the electorate be prosecuted under the Public Order Act for sending
Gordon Brown a message likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress?

Which is more or less how the current Jobseeker's Allowance scheme
operates. The only difference is that you are paid a flat rate
(~£60/pw, IIRC) rather than a percentage of previous income. Do try to
inform yourself before spouting off.

That is a major problem in Britain.

We have been brainwashed into accepting socialist policies for
generations by all parties in the name of 'progress', to the point
that when any party attempts to introduce middle ground politics,
they are described as right-wing loons, not least by the socialist
media led by the disgusting BBC.

The bottom line is that many Brits have never been used to living
as individuals in a free, liberated society and it scares them ...

Yup but most of the decent parties thing the NHS should only treat the

No they don't.

That's just a flat lie.

Foreign users of the NHS now have to prove their entitlement or pay.

Democracy?  Is that what you call it!

Perhaps you can explain why the current government is in office
by way of getting 18-19% support from the eligible electorate?

And what percentage did the Conservatives get? If people are to bone 
idle to get to the polling stations that's their fault, not the governments.

In Britain, almost everything is the fault of government.

They cannot on the one hand, claim ultimate authority into every
nook and cranny of society with no constitutional restraints, and
then disclaim any liability when things goes wrong ...but they do.

That tells you much about the slime we have running Britain.

Your comments are simplistic and belong to someone who is happy
to be herded around like a sheep and told what to do.


In reality, a lot of people do not register or do not vote for a
number of reasons, few of which are of their own making.

Perhaps they fundamentally disagree with the undemocratic system
of politics in Britain which has no proper constitution, & refuse
to support it by voting  Or there is no option on the ballot paper
"None of the above", which would probably collect a lot of votes,
to the dismay of politicians.

Perhaps some people don't vote because, contrary to decades of
deliberate misinformation, voting is not actually a secret ballot.

The most you can say is that this pathetic system of corrupt
governance continues because *we* allow it to.

Historically in Britain where a winning party gets a low level of
national support, they have moderated their policies accordingly.
This demonstrates respect for the population.

But during Blair's 10 years, he introduced some of the most
authoritarian and anti-liberty laws in my lifetime. The kind of
rubbish that one would usually associate with a govt which had
received a huge, overwhelming vote of support.

No dice. If someone is busy then they can ask to vote by post. Nobody, 
NOBODY can tell someone who is eligible that they cannot vote.

If people don't exercise their right to vote then they have no say when 
someone they don't like gets elected, there are more than three parties 
to vote for you know. Maybe we should do what some countries do, make it 
illegal not to vote, although that seems a bit draconian to me.

A spoilt ballot paper is good enough.

If 5% of the eligible electorate vote Labour, 6% vote for the Tories and 
3% for the others then the Tories will win, despite all the "None of the 
above" votes.

Afaik the MRLs haven't been in power, and some govts are worse
than others at accepting responsibility for their actions.
Socialists are probably the worst of all.

Yes, that is what the sheep are expected to accept.

But we end up with a party in power which has no mandate from the
electorate, under any reasonable definition of the term democracy.

You don't get it.  I don't have a "preferred party".

I *do* have a preferred system of govt, with govt only having
the powers authorised under a written constitution approved by
the citizenry (and probably voted upon by each generation).

The current system of govt we have is little more than a façade
which alludes to being a democracy, but is actually closer to a
top-down corporate management system.

True, but NewLab has never had a majority of the popular vote,
nor has any other party come to that. That is one reason why
past govts have usually moderated their policies.

Arselicker, it is an ignorant post.

3 day weeks, power cuts took place under the govt of Edward Heath, and
he was not exactly a rampant Labourite.

Just you wait for a couple of years of Cameron handing money to the
smug fat upper classes - you will be screaming for a return to Labour

The NHS is not safe under the Tories because they will privatise via
the back door - using dentistry as the benchmark.

Under Cameron, when you are taken ill, you may or may not be seen by a
doctor depending on whether you have taken out insurance. Over 40?
Overweight? Drink Alcohol? Smoke? Family history of cancer/heart
disease, etc? That will be a minimum premium of £100 a month for any
one of those.

By all means vote for the selfish, greedy, money is everything
Conservatives/Daily Mail and Telegraph run the country, with added fox
hunting etc. but dont come snivelling on here when you are shit on
from a great height.

First question to ask rich Tory Boy - How much will he reduce petrol
taxes when he gets elected?

Standard blame mechanism by the socialists after watching the country
fail at every turn - bend and distort history by claiming that the
Tories (oh, ok, and the Lib Dems, go on) are as much in "par" as
Labour is.

HA HA HA HA

You mean like Labour does now?

Actually no it's worse.  After stripping the so-called "upper classes"
of everything, Labour is handing money from the poor to the rich,
regardless of class.  The more money you have, the more money you get
under Labour.  Oh, unless you've got no money *at all* in which case
you can make a small fortune in handouts.  The rest of us poor
bastards have to PAY for this hellish system of yours.

When I decide that crime isn't high enough, I don't get stabbed
enough, I simply aren't ass-reamed enough on my tax return and there
isn't enough menacing yet totally ineffective surveillance of the law-
abiding "classes", then I'll be screaming for Labour.  Meantime, take
your filthy, tax-obsessed, money-obsessed, class-obsessed, crime-
loving and miserably failing Party and shove it up your arse, you
class-riddled jerk.

Labour worker 'groomed teenager'

A former Labour Party organiser abducted and took to bed a 13-year-old boy 
he had groomed on the internet, a court has heard.

Peter Tuffley, 28, was working in the North West when he met the youngster. 
Mr Tuffley and the boy swapped emails before kissing and cuddling at the 
regional organiser's Liverpool home, Bolton Crown Court heard. Mr Tuffley, 
now living in East Sussex, denies grooming, child abduction and sexual 
activity with a child. The youngster's parents had called police after he 
failed to return home. Mr Tuffley was arrested the next day - telling 
officers he thought the boy was over 16.

Internet chatroom

Mr Tuffley, who now lives at Pipersfield, Ridgewood, East Sussex, has since 
resigned from his position with the Labour Party. When police checked Mr 
Tuffley's computer they found an exchange of messages between the two, which 
the prosecution alleged showed Mr Tuffley must have known he was underage 
The boy, referred to in court as Boy A, first contacted Mr Tuffley through 
an internet chatroom and dating website. The youngster, then aged 13, 
claimed to be 18 on the website, was gay and from the North West. But he 
told police later he had admitted to Mr Tuffley he was still at school - but 
had said he was aged 15, not 13. Mobile phone text messages and emails 
between the two were shown to the jury. "You can see from the content they 
demonstrated a childish infatuation from boy A for the defendant and the 
defendant was interested about meeting him," Geoff Whelan, prosecuting, 
said.

'Willing participant' After more messages were exchanged the boy, who is 
from Bolton, asked to meet up and Mr Tuffley agreed. One message from Mr 
Tuffley read: "I will get your drink in, you little alky. I hope we can 
managemore than a minute when we do it." On 12 March, Mr Tuffley is alleged 
to have picked the boy up from school, before driving him driving back to 
his flat. They watched videos then got into bed together, the court heard. 
The boy said they kissed. Tuffley told officers the boy's internet profile 
claimed he was 18 and he assumed the youngster was in the sixth form at 
school. Mr Whelan added: "The key issue is age. There is no doubt boy A was 
a willing participant in whatever activity took place. "The problem for the 
defendant is boy A was a 13-year-old boy. A child in the eye's of the law. 
There is ample evidence the defendant knew his age."

The case continues.

Granny-Beater Labour Councillor Nov 2006-11-14

Doug Haw got pissed and punched his 83 year-old widowed neighbour in the 
face leaving her bleeding. The respect agenda has clearly not reached 
everyone in the Labour party, he has resigned as a councillor and quit his 
job as Labour MP Mark Todd's agent. He was sentenced to nine-months jail 
time.

Haw is also currently awaiting magistrates' court trials over two separate 
charges of assault and criminal damage.

Ex-council leader's election ban

The former leader of Hull City Council, Colin Inglis, has been barred from 
standing for his own party at next year's local elections. National 
officials meeting in Hull on Sunday decided to extend his suspension by five 
months until 31 May 2007.

That means the Myton ward councillor will be unable to stand for Labour at 
the local council elections on 3 May. Mr Inglis had breached party rules, 
including supporting a no-confidence vote in the ruling Labour group. That 
paved the way for the Liberal Democrats to take control of the council last 
May. Mr Inglis told BBC Look North that he wanted to continue serving as a 
councillor and was considering his options, including whether to stand as an 
independent. He was originally suspended by Labour 18 months ago when he was 
arrested and charged over child abuse allegations dating back to the 1980s, 
when he was employed as a social worker at a residential home in east Hull. 
He was cleared of 10 charges of indecent assault in July after a two-week 
trial at Leeds Crown Court.

Election candidate is suspended

The Labour party has suspended a candidate standing in the Mansfield 
District Council elections over allegations of breaching election law. 
Victor Jennings was the Labour party candidate in the Birklands ward.

The party told the BBC it was no longer endorsing his candidacy and he had 
been instructed to make a full and frank statement to police.

Nottinghamshire Police said an election fraud allegation was reported over 
the weekend and was being investigated.

        (I) very much regret my actions
      Victor Jennings


The Labour party said Mr Jennings had been suspended from the party with 
immediate effect following allegations of a "serious breach of election 
law". In a statement, issued through his solicitor Paul Bacon, Mr Jennings 
said he accepted his nomination form was invalid and was currently waiting 
to be interviewed by the police. He added: "I accept my responsibility. I 
wish for voters in the Birklands ward to know this in advance of the 
election so that they do not waste their vote in trying to elect me on 
Thursday. "I thank the people who have supported me so far and very much 
regret my actions."

Judge jails 'spying' councillor

A Hampshire councillor who set up a spy camera to secretly film a woman and 
two teenage girls using his bathroom has been jailed for four months. Neil 
Redrup, a Ministry of Defence database manager at the time, put the camera 
in an airing cupboard with the lens spying through a hole at his home. 
Redrup, 45, regularly invited teenagers to parties at his home, a court 
heard. He pleaded guilty to four charges of voyeurism and one for gross 
indecency between January and December 2005.

        The complainant in count one, who was only aged 14, looked on you 
effectively as her dad, she felt she had a special relationship with you
      Judge Tom Longbotham


On Monday, Carl Anderson, prosecuting, told Southampton Crown Court there 
was a "never-ending free supply of alcohol" available at the parties at 
Redrup's Gosport home. He set up the camera angled towards the toilet and 
secretly filmed two girls, aged 14 and 16, using the lavatory. Judge Tom 
Longbotham, who jailed Redrup, a former Labour councillor, for four months 
on each count to run concurrently, told him he would be on licence when 
released. Judge Longbotham said: "Sadly the offences that you have committed 
are such that they represent a very serious breach of trust apart from 
anything else. "For example the complainant in count one, who was only aged 
14, looked on you effectively as her dad, she felt she had a special 
relationship with you. "You met her mother and her family, became friendly 
with them and they, no doubt, felt that she was safe coming round to your 
house."

Suicide attempt

The court heard that after the offences came to light the victims were 
"shocked and disgusted about it". Redrup also videoed a 30-year-old woman, 
whom he had met in an internet chat room, as she was naked in his shower on 
two occasions when she visited his home. His lodger alerted police after 
Redrup gave him a video featuring the secret footage, which Mr Anderson said 
was filmed for Redrup's "titillation". The court heard Redrup started 
drinking heavily and suffered a mental breakdown, attempting suicide, 
following the break-up of his long-term relationship.

Ex-councillor jailed for stabbing

A former deputy leader of Sefton Council has been jailed for 14 years for 
repeatedly stabbing a love rival. Edward McEvilly, 44, a former Labour 
councillor, was convicted of attempting to murder Alan Harrison in February 
at Liverpool Crown Court.

McEvilly was a lodger at his ex-partner Elaine Smith's house on Railton Road 
in Norris Green at the time of the attack. The court heard he stabbed Miss 
Smith's new partner, Mr Harrison, 44, while he was unwell in bed at the 
house. Judge Mark Brown said he had attacked Mr Harrison "in a vicious and 
horrific way." 'Frenzied attack' The court was told that had it not been for 
the fast action of Miss Smith, he could have died. The jury heard that 
McEvilly had carried out the attack after he had returned home after a night 
drinking at about 2300 GMT on 8 February. He walked into Mr Harrison's 
bedroom armed with a knife, stabbing Mr Harrison 17 times in the face, 
chest, stomach and leg as he lay in bed. Miss Smith, who had been having a 
bath at the house, ran to the bedroom and jumped on McEvilly's back while 
the attack was taking place. "This was a frenzied attack and she must have 
put herself at considerable risk. She probably saved his life and is to be 
commended," said Judge Brown.

Ex-mayor jailed for benefit fraud A former mayor and his wife have been 
jailed for 15 months and eight months respectively for falsely claiming 
almost £50,000 in benefits.

John Walker, 57, the former mayor of Sefton, and his wife Catie, 43, were 
found guilty of conspiracy to defraud. They were also convicted at Liverpool 
Crown Court of exaggerating ill health to obtain disability living 
allowance.

Judge Brian Lewis described the deception of the pair as "a disgraceful

breach of trust". He said it had involved persistent and serious abuse of 
the benefit system and that the couple had shown no remorse.

        You postured in your civic finery... and systematically cheated the 
community which had honoured you
      Judge Brian Lewis


The Walkers, of Farmer Place, Bootle, obtained a total of nearly £47,000 in 
disability living allowance and income support while John Walker held public 
office, the jury was told.

The court heard that the ex-Labour councillor stated on forms submitted 
between 1999 and 2004 that he suffered from the muscle condition 
fibromyalgia, ME and had severe disabilities which meant he needed 
round-the-clock care from his wife.

Taxi driver

He listed "heavy night sweats" and swollen hands, arms and legs as effects 
of the illnesses and said walking long distances caused extreme pain and 
discomfort.

At the same time she was working as a taxi driver and the former mayor was 
claiming expenses in his council role.

The pair were caught out when fraud inspectors filmed Walker as mayor 
attending lengthy civic functions and making political speeches.

John Walker, 57, was jailed for 15 months and his 48-year-old wife was 
sentenced to eight months in prison.

Judge Lewis said: "It is apparent that as the two of you postured in your 
civic finery being chauffeured around in your publicly funded limousine 
then, and for some years before, you systematically cheated the community 
which had honoured you.

"It is a disgraceful breach of trust."

Man arrested in indecency probe The BBC understands a former chairman of the 
Humberside Police Authority has been arrested on suspicion of gross 
indecency and other offences.

Hull City Councillor Steven Bayes was detained in Northern Ireland on Monday 
but has since been released on bail.

The police in Belfast would only confirm that a 45-year-old man had been 
arrested.

Mr Bayes is hoping to become Labour's candidate for Hull East at the next 
election when John Prescott steps down.

Mr Bayes is a Labour member of Hull City Council representing the Orchard 
Park and Greenwood ward.

Although police in Northern Ireland would not confirm his arrest, a force 
spokesman said a 45-year old man who the BBC understands from other sources 
is Steven Bayes, was arrested by officers in Belfast at about 0900 GMT on 
Monday on suspicion of gross indecency and other offences.

Officers said the man had since been released on police bail pending further 
inquiries.

Mayor's advisor resigns over lie An adviser to mayor Ken Livingstone has 
resigned after lying about taking a free luxury weekend in Africa.

Rosemary Emodi, deputy to the mayor's chief race adviser Lee Jasper, last 
week denied visiting a £200-a-night resort in Nigeria last November.

But when the BBC confronted her on Tuesday with evidence she flew there with 
airline Virgin Nigeria, Ms Emodi immediately tendered her resignation.

The mayor's office said a formal statement made by Ms Emodi was untrue.

Virgin Nigeria confirmed Ms Emodi flew from London to Lagos on 30 November, 
stayed for three nights and returned on 3 December.

Educational retreat

She stayed at the La Campagne Tropicana resort in a £200-a-night chalet paid 
for by her hosts.

With her was Eroll Walters, the director of community group Brixton Base 
Limited, head of the Black Londoners Forum and a friend of the mayor's 
advisor Lee Jasper.

Nigerian websites reported that London representatives were there to 
finalise a link with Kamp Afrika which runs educational retreats for young 
people.

But the mayor's office said it had given no approval or backing for any 
official link-up with Kamp Afrika.

As a senior employee Ms Emodi would be required to clear any official 
business in advance, or with private trips declare on the register of 
interest that she had received free flights and accommodation.

Honest answers

Ms Emodi was formally questioned about the trip by the Greater London 
Authority (GLA) when the BBC made enquiries last week.

In a statement released on 15 January the GLA said: "Rosemary Emodi has 
never visited La Campagne Tropicana and neither has any other representative 
of the GLA".

But when the BBC presented the latest evidence of her trip, the mayor's 
office said her statement was untrue and she had resigned.

A spokesperson said: "It has now become clear that the formal statement made 
by Rosemary Emodi was untrue. She has resigned with immediate effect."

The GLA said there was "no suggestion GLA funds were used for the trip" but 
all staff were required to honestly answer questions put to them.

Would-be MP admits hopes dashed A councillor who wanted to succeed John 
Prescott as MP for Hull East has admitted his hopes have been shattered 
after his arrest for gross indecency.

Police in Belfast bailed Steven Bayes, 45, and sent a file to the 
prosecutor.

The former chair of Humberside Police Authority has also been suspended by 
his local Labour party.

Speaking of his career, he told BBC Radio Humberside: "It is not going to be 
easy to revive it unless something miraculous happens, which is unlikely."

Mr Bayes was considered a leading candidate to replace the former deputy 
prime minister, who will not be seeking re-election at the next general 
election.

The councillor was arrested and bailed by police in Northern Ireland in 
December and was given unconditional police when he reported back on 
Thursday.

He is a Labour member of Hull City Council, representing the Orchard Park 
and Greenwood ward.

As part of the investigation, Humberside Police searched the Labour Party 
offices and lounge at Hull's Guildhall, on behalf of the Police Service of 
Northern Ireland.

53-year-old man from Wolverhampton has been arrested on suspicion of causing 
criminal damage following an alleged incident at a bus stop in Jeffcock

Three jailed over rigged election

A former city mayor has been jailed for nine months after being convicted of 
vote-rigging.

Labour's Mohammed Choudhary, 49, former mayor of Peterborough, 
Cambridgeshire, was jailed at King's Lynn Crown Court.

Party candidate Maqbool Hussein, 52, was jailed for three months and Tariq 
Mahmood, 40, received a 15-month term.

All three from Peterborough, were convicted of forgery over a scheme to 
fabricate votes for the Peterborough city council election in June 2004.

The four-month case cost the taxpayer £850,000 and all three defendants were 
granted legal aid.

The judge ordered Choudhary to pay £20,000 towards his costs and Mahmood to 
pay £15,000. He did not make an order relating to Hussein.

Voter complaints

"They were able to get hold of postal and proxy votes which belonged to 
voters in the central ward," prosecuting QC Anthony Leonard said.

"They arranged for postal and ballot papers to be sent not to the voter but 
to addresses with which each defendant was connected."

Detectives began an inquiry after voters complained, jurors were told.

Choudhary and Hussein were Labour candidates in the election - and neither 
won seats despite the scam.

Mahmood was a local Labour party secretary.

Det Insp Ian Tandy said he was satisfied with the length of sentences.

"This hopefully will act as a deterrent and send out a message that election 
fraud will be investigated and prosecuted," he said.

about 63,000 pupils skipping class every day, Government figures suggest.

Feb 08 LONDON (AFP) - Nearly 800,000 people from the eight countries that 
joined the European Union four years ago have since applied to work in 
Britain, government statistics said Tuesday.

Britain's interior ministry said there were 790,000 applicants from Poland, 
the Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Slovenia and 
Slovakia between May 1, 2004 to the end of December last year.

The figures do not include the self-employed nor Romanians and Bulgarians, 
whose countries joined the EU on January 1 last year, increasing the number 
of member states to 27.

Of the 790,000 applications, 766,000 were approved. Some 214,510 work 
permits were granted in 2007, compared with 234,725 in 2006.

It is not known how many of those people remain in Britain, although British 
media reports suggest Poles in particular are now returning home in greater 
numbers.

Commons Confidential: May 2006








Despatches from the House of Commons

1000 GMT, TUESDAY 23 MAY

Tory MPs are demanding a public apology from the Labour Party after it 
emerged members, including ministers, took part in an auction for a copy of 
the Hutton report into the death of Dr David Kelly which was autographed by 
Cherie Blair.

According to a Commons motion tabled by Peterborough's Stewart Jackson, the 
event took place at the Arts Club in Mayfair last week and raised £400 for 
party coffers.

The motion says the event was "in appalling bad taste, arrogant and crassly 
insensitive in seeking to make money, albeit indirectly, through hawking, as 
a novelty item, an official Government report into the death of a public 
servant".

It "regrets the distress caused to the family and friends of the late Dr 
Kelly; and calls on the Labour Party to apologise for such tasteless and 
offensive conduct and to donate the money raised to an appropriate charity".

 Yet another stunning new labour failure

Poverty rate 'rose under Labour' Relative poverty in the UK may have risen 
since 1997, rather than fallen, says the Institute for Fiscal Studies.

The usual measure is the proportion of households whose income is less than 
60% of the median household income.

That suggests that the poverty rate fell from 25% to 22% of households 
between 1996/97 and 2002/03.

But the IFS says that if household spending is measured instead, then over 
the same period of time the poverty rate rose from 20% to 22%.

Using spending as a measure, the IFS also finds that the poverty rate among 
children increased

Patients have not seen any improvement in the care they get under the new 
consultant contract, a watchdog says.

The National Audit Office said despite pay rising by 27% to £110,000, 
doctors were not providing more flexible care or spending more time with 
patients.

Over the first three years of the contract, as well as seeing the jump in 
pay - which does not take into account private earnings - specialist doctors 
also saw their hours cut.

After assuring the public that changes in EU migration policy would mean 
only 15,000 eastern European migrants would come to the UK, the actual 
number exceeds 650,000 migrants which is causing much racial disharmony inb 
many areas.

On a similar vein it was revealed this month that due to unchecked migration 
that schools in many constituancys have seen the number of children who's 
first language is not English has risen from 5 to 20% in three years.

Tony Blair and co promised to spend £750 million pounds into community 
sports  schemes, 7 years later they have spent only 8 million pounds, they 
also promised to protect school fields from development, since then they 
have sold off over 1000 more

Tony Blair has refused to allow a referendum on a proposed new EU 
constitution, The original was voted out by other EU nations but socialists 
in France, Britain and Germany want to simply alter the wording but not the 
content of the proposal and pass it as law without asking the people.

Immigration has quadrupled under New labour since April 2004 with most of 
its number coming from Eastern Europe, In 2005 alone over 600,000 
arrived.( Blair said it would be no more that 15000.

Because New labours open bias towards Scotland the moderate Royal college of 
Nursing has now voted for strike action to counter the discrimination faced 
by English and welsh nurses, In Scotland the nurses got a 2.5 % wage rise 
but the English and welsh got only 1.9 and that was staged as well.

Doctors call for Hewitt to resign

Junior doctors have called for Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt and Health 
Minister Lord Hunt to resign over "shambolic" medical training reform.

The British Medical Association's junior doctors conference called the 
Medical Training Application Service's problems "gross negligence".

The online job application service was suspended amid fears personal details 
of applicants could be accessed online.

Ministers cave in over junior doctors' job computer system

Nigel Hawkes, Health Editor

The Government has abandoned its computer-based system for junior doctor 
jobs, in an embarrassing about-turn by Patricia Hewitt, the Health 
Secretary.

In a move apparently designed to outflank a legal action by junior doctors 
due to be heard in court today, Ms Hewitt told Parliament yesterday that the 
Medical Training Application Service (MTAS) would not be used for the second 
round of interviews.

Her announcement did not impress Remedy UK, the junior doctors' group which 
is bringing the action. It said that if the first round were allowed to 
stand, 80 per cent of training posts would be determined on the basis of a 
faulty system. Good candidates would have been denied a fair chance, and 
poor ones accepted because of the vagaries of MTAS.

7 Labour ministers admit to using illegal drugs

Interest rates rise yet again to a record high in the last ten years

Not to mention the dodgy dealings of Keith Vaz, Peter Mandelson , Geofrey
Robertson , Dianne Abbot, Margaret Hodge, Lord Levi, John Prescott and Tony 
Blair etc
over sending there kids to private schools, smuggling immigrants, dodgy
house deals. mortgage fraud, lying to parliament. selling off British steel 
, starting illegal wars
etc

These are a few of the benefits of voting for Nu Labour, Britain truly has
exactly the type of government it deserves. I hope we get at least another 8
years of this govt the country deserves nothing less.

And don't forget folks
its never the labourites fault.

LOL, do try to inform yourself before responding.
The flat rate of £60 per week, especially as this has to pay council
tax, typically at £30 per week, is no where near a 60% of wages, even
for someone only earning the minimun wage.

And if you have no savings and have never worked, you get benefits, you
get accomadation paid for and your council tax paid.

Unfortunately people haven't acted wisely, in fact they've acted
stupidly. To think that if Labour's not the answer, then the
Conservatives must be, has been going on almost without interruption
since 1922. It's time for a complete change of thinking by the
electorate. It's time people voted for UKIP or Green. Beware the
Tories; they are currently led by a PR guru - a professional
spinmaster. Haven't we had enough of that? 

>> >The FILTHY Disease that is socialism is on the way out.

Thank God. Those of us of a certain age remember the "Winter of
Discontent" in 1978/9
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_of_Discontent) and do so with a
shiver down our spines. 12ft high piles of refuse in central London,
rats as big as dogs roaming the streets, and in many cities in the UK
they weren't burying the dead, because all municipal workers were on
strike. No food in the shops or petrol. It was f***ing gruesome.

It was. 

>Arselicker, it is an ignorant post.

Not really. Just because someone agrees with somebody else doesn't
make them 1) an arselicker or 2) ignorant. The ignorance you purport
lies in yourself, with your inability to grasp and consider a range of
opinions.Just as a suggestion, you could 1) Grow up and 2) sell your
computer.

True.

>Wrong, three day weeks came under Harold Wilson first. 


Not wrong, they did mostly happen under the arch-traitor Heath (who
sold us down the  river into the "Common Market"), but absolutely
correct about Wilson.

"There is no danger of a single currency."    Ted Heath, British
Conservative Prime Minister in an EEC membership information leaflet,
1975.

Peter Sissons (BBC journalist and presenter of 'Question Time', BBC1,
1st November 1991): "...the single currency, the United States of
Europe: was that on your mind when you took Britain in [1971]?"

Heath : "Of course, yes."
