What's the betting it's because of her religion eh! ;-)

Brown fucked that election up for sure, it was awful to watch.

Had he won in 2010 we’d be in a better place as a country now.

I was really pissed off with Brown by the time the 2010 GE came round, but upon reflection that was hasty and ill-judged on my part, especially given the shit show that has followed.

Whatever you do dont waste your vote on people/parties who will have zero say in how the country is run

I have no choice, none of the candidates standing in my constituency will be forming the next government

The Tories bring him up and I bite sadly.I should have learned my lesson by now.

British parliamentary approval for the invasion of Iraq - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

I find quoting facts about the war in Iraq usually quietens the self-servatives apologists.
84 Labour, 52 Lib-dems and 2 (two) tories opposed the war.
Hansard is also a wonderful method of research (but can take time to navigate)

When did we last have an effective opposition? 1979?

I don't think anyone sane would argue that the country hasn't got worse.

It’s got discernibly worse by pretty much every meaningful measure.

It will be as she went straight to anti-semitism when the Green Leader was on.

With a past like hers, Margaret Hodge might show a bit more humility

In the Eighties Hodge was aware of previous child sex abuse in the care homes for which she was responsible, and did nothing about it

You don't seem to understand the point I was making, so why bother commenting Vic?

Were you not criticising a policy of tax increases for people earning over £50k a year because they'd got commitments and/or had bought a lot of stuff? In other words, by spending money they can avoid paying higher income tax.

No not really, I was criticising the Greens for thinking that just because they believe people have spare cash when they earn 50 k or more, doesn't necessarily mean that people do have that spare cash. I used the materialistic analogy as green people arnt the most materialistic in my experience, but 99% of the population are to a degree are they not?

Ie its easy and incorrect for Greens to judge everybody by their holier than thou lifestyle.
