yet again our very own wrekin labour group is failing the test of scrutiny in this comical demonstration of its appalling polemical ability. last week for example they were campaigning for swings and roundabouts this week its the cost of travel , no I wont give my oppinion on petrol prices , Lybia, Iraq or the cost of Afganistan in light of the Pakistan Presidents’ statement that the war is not winning the hearts and minds .

I would however express the very obvious fact that wrekins Labour group didn’t seem to be so concerned of this issue three months ago whilst in government.

Indeed of that I shall remind you of our now former PM Mr G.Browns campaining and my view of new labours failure in representation of the views of the working classes it supposes to support.
Vox populi is best demonstrated through a ballot box as ever in politics history repeats as in the fifties the Blair years may be viewed ( through rose tinted glasses!) as our darling buds of May ; Browns premiership but a repeated return to old labour mistakes, they spent and borrowed too much money , the fundamental flaw of socialism.
Money does not alone cure a nations ills,individual responsibility, honesty are a prerequisite for any successful and progressive society. Need I remind anyone that from Atlee’s Government in 1945 it took 35 years to run its course before collapsing in our winter of discontent, the reforming Thatcherism enabling a lasting legacy which has been squandered by the rebranded New Labour. Oh how Enoch Powell was right!The timourous decision of Brown holding back to the last in calling this election,the feudal assertion of class war politics a final and defining hokum. They spoke of saving healthcare ,education and the welfare state asserting that conservatives “don’t have a heart!” A zietgist to churchills political career no less! Once a liberal then a conservative his quote is reknown.
New labours refusal to explain truths of deregulated immigration policy, truths of inefficient and wasteful government , needless human sacrifice fighting wars on the premise of WMD’s and terorist threats. Truths of expense abuse and our broken society. The disclosure that 3 Labour MP’s claimed legal aid of criminal charges of their expense claims an incredulous defining act of a corrupted and discredited cabal offending the decent public they represented, a breed of politician who’s mantra may best be described by the orwellian motto of all being equal some more than others……………..

The painful fact is that our grandchildren shall be paying for these debts , they are not deserving of this legacy.

I also support the comments of Mr E. A last someone commenting on this site with a realistice objective opinion who considers the facts, rather than being taken in by media and political senstationalism

Never mind just think how much money will be saved by cuting all the dead wood let alone travel expenses when all these non-essential public sector jobs go ! At least this time the right people are losing the right jobs.
