The Conservative's greatest friend is safe...

3 October 2012

So Milliminor spent an hour without notes telling us he went to a 'bog standard comp' and kept repeating time and time again the One Nation slogan of the great Conservative PM Benjamin Disraeli.   

Disraeli - a truly great man and 'founder' of the modern Conservative Party who established Conservative Central Office making it a national unified organised political force.  

So that makes Milliminor OK then and electable?

No - not at all.

He remains the Conservative Party's greatest political asset and many Conservatives will be breathing a sigh of relief that he did not blow it and is safe leading his discredited party.

As always his speech hit all the lowest common denominators that tickle his party faithful with all their spite and envy. Dumb and half baked ideas about stealing the money of those who work long and hard, achieve success just to give it to those who cannot be bothered to do the same. In Milliminor's Britain don't you dare make lots of money, don't you dare work harder than anyone else, don't you dare take risks with you money because it will be 'pre-distributed' to the unsuccessful and lazy.

Milliminor still lacks credibility and so does his Party.  We must never let people forget the way their 13 years of government totally devastated the economy of this country.

PS - if you Google under images a Milliband search, the first 6 photos are of Millimajor, not Milliminor - that shows just how insignificant 'minor is even the morning after his 'big speech'....

The link did not work in comments so seeing if the link to 'Benjamin Disraeli's' response works here....

  I have only been watching this conference with half an eye but it does appear to me that the emphasis is on bashing the government and repeating old socialist mantras, seasoned with a bit of Disraeli/Cameron/Blair. Surely the proper purpose of such a conference is to communicate what the labour leadership would actually DO if elected? I can't see any of that.

  An entertaining response the Milliminor's speech from Mr Benjamin Disraeli himself!!!

  i just saw the edited highligts of the leaders speech and was quite surprised how well he came across, it will go down well with the party faithful.
  
  quite another thing how it resounded with the general public so will be interesting to see if his personal rating improves in forthcoming polls.

  Did the 13 years of a New Labour Government give us an extra hospital in every town or a spare school in every street?
  Did they spend for the sake of spending? Or did they merely attempt to redress the 'whoops y-doo' lack of investment of the previous administration?
  Doubtless, over the coming few days we shall get here the speech Dave should make and be able to match that with the actual verbiage. In the mean-time let us traduce what we have, complain that any other should do likewise, and praise the long dead.

  Tom - Over the 13 years they spent on the current account irresponsibly and without getting results.
  
  I have said it before try spending 150% of your income piling up the excess on your credit card and see where that leads after 13 years - if you are not bankrupt before getting to 13 years that is.
  
  Investment is in capital with a view to getting a return on your money, not just spent and wasted on beaurocracy and paying dosh to those who don't want to work.

  Since when did 'Tom' become interchangeable with 'P.S.'?
  
  Your reductionism is the height of naivete Barry. "They fight who only stand and wait."
  
  A Nation, a Democracy, is a long-term project and cannot rightly be reduced to a common profit-and-loss account, and furthermore it is not to be confused with the physical reduction of the interior dimensions in new-build schools by someone of reduced stature himself.
  
  Had you wished to address my comments you could have boasted of the all the good done by John Major and his team, but perhaps the reality hot-line is as busy as the "cone-hot-line"?

  It's as if the media are experiencing some kind of mass delusion - no change there I suppose but this latest manifestation is ever so slightly weirder than most.
  It seems that political correspondents have reached the conclusion that red ed's speech to the deluded was a barnstorming success. Apparently we should now consider this useless berk as potential Prime Minister material.
  Well call me old fashioned but I don't consider somebody with his obvious failings in the social skills aspects associated with higher positions of office and his frankly bizarre and repeated references to one nation and his revisionist history of his early years - none of this makes him fit for even a place on the local council.
  As I've said before he's the one who passed the climate change act which will destroy our energy intensive industry, lead to higher energy bills, mean the building of thousands of wind farms up and down the country and yet this utter fool calls for new regulation to tackle higher electric and gas bills.
  Having said that cameron and his cronies are merely following in the footsteps of the Ed miller band and some might say are more left of centre than even the current government.

  Come on Barry, the time's up. This Government has had 2 and a half years to implement success, they chose not to. They were too busy figuring out how to preserve - or conserve - the status of the "get-ever-richer".
  This Government has lived it's life, time to move on now.

  Alexander - you learn nothing. The facts are not convenient to you.

  What facts, Barry? As things stand now, it's apparent the Government is unable to distinguish between speculation and proper economy.

  are your sure that red ed is an asset to your party barry?
  
  according to the polls he has received a boost in popularity since the "one nation" speech.

  This kind of thing always happens and that was from a very low expectation. Yes, Howard - he is a great asset.
  
  I am really looking forward to the election debates.
