2 July 2013 14:23236012in short a lot more than the tories did in the previous 13 years,cant say that for ukip though.ukip the party with no polices. - 2 July 2013 16:13236026Peter, it depends what one interprets as "positive".
Barry Williams never tires telling me that to take from the rich is a great evil.
Therefore, from that point of view, to take away their "getting richer" is negative.
Hence, in 13 years, Labour did what is positive in the view of Labour a la T, Blair (Holy Drones, was he really a Socialist?!) and therefore also did what is positive in the eyes of the Tory elites:
they made the chief executives get richer by siphoning tens of billions of pounds a year from UK share companies just in bonuses.
In fact, many banks UK went bust partly because of it (banks too are share companies).
The next positive side of it all is, that the same people stayed on and got even richer. (After all, they got bailed out, didn't they!)
Another positive thing in this respect is that T. Blair got out just in time before the 2008 banking crash and general financial crisis, rather than completing his term in office as PM.
He must have known it was coming.
It's positive, because he then went on and earned tens of millions of pounds "advising" other governments and companies.
His motto:
So long as I was PM, all went well.
No sooner had I left 10 Downing Street, Britain and half the world went bust!
So take my advice and pay me well
All this MUST be positive for the rich get richer elite, and hopefully this reply will suffice to stick on a postage stamp and send it to Parliament.Chanters, Drums and Drones Potty Time http://youtu.be/99fMqpjnXYA

- 2 July 2013 20:05236041Labour gave us the human rights laws
http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/411547/Violent-robber-defeats-deportation-bid-from-UK-due-to-his-amazing-family-bond - 2 July 2013 20:54236043WWII gave us, and the whole of Europe - and beyond - the Human Rights Legislation.Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.
- 2 July 2013 20:58236045that is my understanding tom, nothing to do with the reds.
- 2 July 2013 21:07236047No Keith, Labour incorporated European laws of rights (by Royal consent) to be a part of our law.
In terms of 'giving us the human rights laws' I think we should look, rightly and thankfully, at Magna Carta; a charter UKIP "would place on prominent display within the House of Westminster"
I can't believe you haven't read UKIP policies Keith - They are only a click away from the 'link' you post on here. - 2 July 2013 21:46236052Martin P,by the way,what is surname? You seem to know a lot about me...Your posts were totally negative..The question was not answered in any way by you..I suggest you google the answer or read some of the positive posts on the forum..If need help I am here to help you.

2 July 2013 23:36236062Of course criminalisation of further people and filling up our already over stocked penal system is the answer isnt it.
Same trite nonsense that all political parties trot out to appease the masses
Who is going to pay for more police? more courts? more prisons? more prison officers?
Why us the tax payer of course..."Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today." - James Dean

So next time somebody sticks a knife to your throat and nicks your wallet
You will be encourage the judge to go easy??
And your forgetting who is paying for the crimes already.
Hard Labour, hammer rocks, and spars conditions for a short time.
Say 6 months for nicking led of some poor sods roof, for instance,
Drug addicts locked away in drug free condition for a long time to help them become drug free.
Back to Labour
You could use this thread to explain to the voters, why you did the things you did in government, that cost you the last election, And what your policies will be if you get back this time round.
But your priorities seem to be attacking ukip for giving alternative views - Keith Sansum1

3 July 2013 23:46236203Peter still hasn't answered the question on the UKIP leader at county who wanted to INCREASE the allowances for his party(rather than during the election he ststed he would sort them out)
so bashing labour takes the heat off UKIP
and we still have the poster who is convinced hes still a member of UKIP yet peter says hes not
you couldn't make it upALL POSTS ARE MY OWN PERSONAL VIEWS - 4 July 2013 10:55236280You supposed to be a up strait Mr. plod
Show us the evidence ? - 4 July 2013 11:31236283I once bumped into Keith in the Gurkha shop in Cheriton. He was on duty, taking notes in his little black book, and it didn't look as if the PCSO uniform came out of the dressing-up box. Oh, and his mugshot was on the posters which detail who your local coppers are. That was a few years ago. Are you still part of the thin blue line, Keith?I'm an optimist. But I'm an optimist who takes my raincoat - Harold Wilson
- 4 July 2013 11:37236284I think he is peter, but he's a bit thin on the voting evidence
- 4 July 2013 11:42236285Mr Sansum,I read your letter in the East Kent Mercury today...Why are you still bashing poor deluded Clair ? Are the local Labour party still split over Clair and whether they are still Socialists this week or not? With reference to the allowances it is a Fact, that all the Councillors,Labour, Tories,Libdems ,Greens,UKIP are taking allowances..I suggest you , also stop bashing the Elderly Gentleman, incidently a man who fought for his country and used to be a member of UKIP..Keith S it is starting to get very unseemly!

the issue of allowances came up when the opposition leader at maidstone said that his councillors should get more than the reds as his party were the official opposition. - Keith Sansum1

4 July 2013 13:40236300So again let me reply to mr ripley in the hope of an answer;
Prior to the election UKIP said it would sort out allowances, instead they wanted them increased,
and voted for them and taking them.
On the issue of the ex member of UKIP, I will continue to comment on a number of issues on this forum, and won't be silenced by you.
I will continue to disagree if I don't support the posters view point, this will be whether or not the person ha served his/her country, done nothing with there life, or whatever background they may come from(have to say I do find that comment rather strange, that because someone may have served his country he cannot be challenged!!!)ALL POSTS ARE MY OWN PERSONAL VIEWS
