Unusually, I am doing two blogs this weekend. As well as the opener to the Conservative Conference just uploaded I have a final word about the Labour Conference.

Milliminor's speech has been praised by the usual suspects and there is no doubt they were pleased given the low expectations in the first place.

In the Times however a very interesting pieces of analysis was done by Matthew Parris. I quote:

"""In a speech of 7,369 words lasting an hour and seven minutes, none of the following words appeared even once: individual, enterprise, freedom, liberty ... not one mention. The word-cloud is unmistakable and the fact that the speech was delivered ad lib makes the unwitting testimony to Mr Miliband’s instincts more telling. All the language was collectivist, always it was about group, co-operation and acting together. There was not a single positive reference to a private sector achievement and the remark that “tough settlements” will be needed in public services (much trailed for the media) comprised one lone sentence.""""

This says it all about Labour. They really are THE Party of the BIG STATE. Stuff the individual, as far as Labour are concerned we are all serfs, individuals don't count and we all answer to 'the State'.

If you value your personal freedom and independence, if you are a striver, if you want to work hard for your family, if you run a business. Do not vote Labour because they hate you.

this is all a bit rich, we have had the blues rattle on for the last 3 years about the big society where we all join together and run public services like libraries, bus routes etc but when red ed says the same he gets pilloried.

"Money talks, and I'm speechless." As my mother often said.

The last New Labour administration was all about the individual and deregulation. A BIG STATE that sloughed-off as much political responsibility as it could.
Which Party:-

Plunged deepest into the expenses pool?
Outsourced most public employment?
Opened-up corporate take-over to the Vulture-capitalists?
Rode rough-shod over the ruins of a once proud Manufacturing Sector?

Whichever Party you imagine did all of these thing to the 'best' of it's ability...looking down it still spells POOR!
The BBC and their 'fellow travellers' =BAD
One journalist (who did oh so badly as an MP himself) 'on song'=GOOD

More fun to come...

Howard - no he is not saying the same, very far from it. He ignores enterprise and freedom entirely in favour of his bossy and oppressive big-statism.

Tom - no the last Labour government was all about Big State and interference. That is why they spent so much of our money, taxed too much, spent too much and have driven the economy into another Labour disaster. They were nothing at all to do with the individual.
