The Sun goes down on Labour

It's not just the Sun though. Look carefully and the entire media has become Tory biased over the last 2 years. It almost feels like a very british coup at the moment.


All the idiots that vote the labour government out at the next election will be handing this country to an outright bastard in Cameron. I hope your children forgive you!

I'm afraid I'll fail to spot the difference. Blair was an absolute pusfilled dcumnag of excremental proportions. Brown may be genuinely principled, but he's also a power hungry control freak and made this mess for us all.

I obviously can't see the new Tories being any better, but worse, don't make me laugh (unless you're a single mum I imagine, they tend to pick on you)

I have never understood the popularity of these "young" cooler MPs. Personally, I don't want a PM who is down with the kids, and who has Oasis round to number 10 for a party. I want a PM who I feel will look out for us, not their own image. Blair was the perfect example of ego over duty, and Cameron will be no different.


Lib Dems have failed to take advantage of Labours misfortune, because they too have gone for the young, dumb, shallow leader.

He may be young but he ain't shallow. Always seems considered and thoughtful.

Of course he could be a page 3 model or an eight/legged child eating alien for all that it actually matters a damn!


Talking of which, will that pretty green candidate be running round here? I do hope so *rubs thighs*

If what I am told about Cameron is true then you aint seen nothing yet. I am sensitive to this. I work with the vulnerable and homeless, and I can clearly see us returning to the Thatcherite mess of the 80s and 90s which the "Evil" Tony Blair managed to turn around and sort out. He housed many thousands of homeless people and families, helped get many thousands of homeless drug users into treatment, brought in safeguarding policies and that meant that the marginalised homeless of the UK got treated with fairness and respect. Oh, and forget the fact that you no longer need to wait 3 years for an Endoscopy or fertility treatment. Yeah man - Labour have been awful.


Like I say, I am sensitive to this. A Cameron govt won't just make things harder for the clients I have lived with and worked with for the last 15 years, but they will put me and my family out of a job too. I cannot fail to take it personally when people prepare to vote to put me out of a job!

Yep, for all that I'm disgusted by the way Blair currupted the DNA of Labour, the fact is they retain that core to do things such as ratty describes


They deserve to be booted out, I will laugh at many of them going, but the country and many of it's people won't deserve what comes in it's place


Something Wicked This Way Comes indeed


Or as Cathal Coughlan sang


"Something bad is giving birth to a thing which won't melt to your touch

Something bad is giving birth to something worse and it's going to hurt"

      Will the police now re-focus on crime?

      By ianr · Posted

      I'm not sure it's sensible  to presume any agreement from interlocutors, but if you do, then do I agree that it's the right thing to say so. My own guess -- it's nothing more -- is that the officers were acting just to effect an arrest on arrival, as requested, quite possibly without any knowledge of the content of wretched tweet at all*, and that their being armed was absolutely incidental.  But I don't know any reliable facts. I do think the turning up (5?) en masse to do so was possibly complacent and unthinking, if there was no reason to believe the arrestee was a threat.  If they had  been doing so for good reason, I guess they could have had at least one weapon trained at him, and had  him hands above head or on the ground in no time.  But I know no reliable facts of the incident whatsoever.  Perhaps they were Father Ted fans -- seriously -- and trogged along, on a quiet afternoon, to see the man himself.  Perhaps they and/or their CO will get a severe bollocking from above.  I don't know. * But even that with some reservations.  The last time I looked up cases on wrongful arrest, years ago, I think I remember there being held then to be at least some onus on the acting arresting officer to be satisfied that  the required grounds for a lawful arrest  did exist.  And I don't know any of the facts of the present case.

      They carry guns at the airport.  It may not make it ok but that is a fact.  In France and America they all carry guns.

      More chance of winning a lottery prize than catching a bike thief

      By malumbu · Posted

      TfL and the Met had a small team a few years ago dedicated to addressing bike theft.  https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/media/press-releases/2011/february/officers-target-bike-thieves-and-successfully-reunite-stolen-bikes-with-their-owners I assume that went with austerity. There is now a Task Force https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/metropolitan-police-service-cycle-taskforce And some advice from the MPS: https://www.met.police.uk/cp/crime-prevention/keeping-vehicles-safe/how-safe-is-your-bike/ The marking service is good and helps.  As a cyclist you do your best to minimise the likelihood and I would never leave a high end bike locked on the street out of sight.  I've had three bikes stolen in London over the last two decades. Gum Tree sadly makes it too easy and for every bike theft there is someone knowingly or unknowingly prepared to buy a bargain that is stolen.
