May 5th

[gertcha EFM]

Looking forward to celebrating a fine victory down the club that night then Zealster ?

[gertcha EFM]

Actually, it's worth a few celebratory beers tonight, as for the next 4 weeks at least Tony is no longer the Prime Minister.

[Electric ~soul~]

Make it tomorrow and you may have a date!

[gertcha EFM]

I've got cricket nets tomorrow evening mate, so no can do I'm afraid.

 

Looking forward to seeing Mr Howard moving all his gear into number 10.

Is Tony buying some of his 2nd hand furniture then?

That's nice, he probably needs the cash as he'll be on the dole in 4 weeks!

Good point, I suppose Tony will need to save some cash for when he is no longer PM.

Mind you he'll be slightly better off when Michael scraps a lot of Labour's stealth taxes so it's not all bad for your mate.

I'd like to see the return of the Poll Tax.

[gertcha EFM]

Can someone explain what was so unfair about it, as I can't work it out.

 

Cheers Col.

[CANV EFM]

poncing pikey student types had to pay their way.. it came as a shock to the vermin that stuff isnt free

[gertcha EFM]

Cheers, I thought as much.

 

Sounds like a fair system to me. Bring it back.

How do you expect your boys to do on May 5th, Thornsy??

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

The Socialist Allience never do well nor do the Monster Raving Loony Party.

Lib Dems will do alright but I expect Labour to win though, Tories will narrow the gap!

[Electric ~soul~]

I agree with that really. I think Labour will lose a fair few seats to both the Tories and Lib-Dems, but will stay on for a third and final term.

[gertcha EFM]

I hope you are wrong Zealster. Imagine another four more years of Mr Blair.......

 

[*]Average Council Tax £2,000

[*]Violent crime spiralling out of control

[*]Unlimited immigration

[*]Dirty hospitals, long waiting lists

[*]More pensioners relying on means testing

[*]More children suffering because of poor discipline in school

[*]More waste and higher taxes

[Electric ~soul~]

It's not what I want Gertcha, believe me, but being anti-Tory has become quite hip these days, as brainwashed students believe the rubbish they read in the NME and on internet message boards.

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Violent Crime and poor discipline are a result of society, how would the Tories sort this out? Am I more or less likely to get my head kicked in outside a kebab shop under the Tories?

Dirty Hospitals are probably down to some bright spark who decided to privatise the cleaning contracts, hmmmm wonder who did that? Long waiting lists are probably down to the lack of hospitals which were shut down and knocked down by the last government, with the new hospitals being owned by developers and the government pay rent on a 25yr lease - what happens when the lease is up?

Council's set the council tax rates and most of the council's in this country are Tory.

They would recruit an extra 5,000+ police officers a year to help restore discipline and respect to our society. They will reduce the paper work and admin that Labour have bought in to let the officers carry out real police work.

As for you getting your head kicked in, who cares.

I think you will find that is is more down to central targets and regional administration. All of which is down to Labour.

Unlike Labour, The Conservatives believe that NHS professionals, not politicians, should run hospitals.

I find that very surprising, but if you can show me some hard facts to back that up I will stand corrected.

And do the Government really have no say in the whole council tax issue ?

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

The basic principle of Tory education policy is to cut money from state schools and the NHS to subsidise private education and private healthcare. The Tories' voucher schemes for schools and hospitals will use taxpayers' money to subsidise fee-paying parents and transfer millions from state schools into private schools for the privileged few.
