Voters Want Clear Tory Policies

Mixed messages abound from pollsters, here is another one: a Mail/BPIX poll suggests that the biggest Tory weakness is a lack of a clear message.  Labour’s key attack spin repeats endlessly ‘the same old Tories’ and ‘Osborne is too inexperienced‘ lines. Voters don’t think these issues are problems to the extent that they don’t know what the Tories stand for at the election.

Look at what would make voters more likely to vote Tory, traditional tougher messages on crime and immigration.  Tax and spending cuts would also sway voters.

The Tory detox period is over, voters want the traditional medicine to cure the nation’s ills…

          Tougher on immigration, sorry can’t do anything about that, the EU says we have to let them all in. Tougher on crime, sorry can’t do anything about the ECHR will knock back any tough sentences, such as Jon Venables whose originally sentence was raised from 8 to 17 years and reduced back to 8 by the ECHR.

            There is an intention is to ban life sentences that mean life.

            This is already done in some parts of Europe. The ECHR is to be used to force this through.

            An attempt to do this has already been made.

            The only sensible vote is one cast against Labour. Find out who is in the best position to beat them locally and vote for that party. Anything else will let Brown back in, and there won’t be much left of the UK after another 5 years of Labour.

        The irony is this – Ashcroft’s private polls showed that the Tory brand image was a problem – people would applaud a policy, but then reject it if they were told it came from the Conservatives. So a lengthy process of detoxification was engaged in, which included putting the presentable David Cameron at the top.

        The problem is, now we have reached the point where it has finally dawned on voters just what a disaster 13 years of Labour have been for the country. That means they are now ready to have the old Conservatives back. But where have they gone?????

        Say what you like about Mrs Thatcher she ended the need for 60% of the population to look solely to the local authority for housing,ergo having to have children out of wedlock to qualify! Social engineering to destroy the independence of the family,(labour are still at it)
        Also if thatcher was so cruel to the working classes as the liberal elite claim why were tradesmen sneered at ala “loadsamoney cos im a plasterer” & ” I am considerably richer than yo” by the same liberal egalitarians in this case Enfield!
        It was simply a case where the poor should know its place and should stay in unionised jobs where low productivity and high absenteeism ensured low income, all the better to permanently retain a sense of victimhood.
        Even the welsh windbag admitted this “how do you tell a scaffolder earning £400 a week with a holiday home abroad,I feel your pain!!!!!”
        The levels of immigration seen over the last 13years was a punishment to the disloyal working class white voters who returned the tories 4 elections in a row.

          I thought it was Tory MPs rather than the liberal elite who got rid of her

          • Atlas Shrugged says:

            You thought half correctly.

            It was Tory MP’s who are/where certainly working for an elite, and claimed to be liberals, as lying bastards often do.

            This elitist force loved Thatcher while she was doing their dirty work for them, however when she tried once too often to resist the powers of the establishment, they swiftly stabbed her in the back.

            There are some people you just can’t say NO to even once. However Thatcher said “NO NO NO,” more then once, which was simply asking for it.

            The Bilderbergers did for Thatcher, her political assassination had absolutely nothing to do with the Poll Tax. This is self-evidently the case as we now have more, and higher regressive taxation now, then at any time in our past.

          • We already have ‘Gulags for Slags’, normally handily placed near the Netto Ghetto and the Bargain Booze Balkans.

          I recall a slight problem with unemployment during Thatcher’s time. Just a teeny one, mind . . . And wasn’t there a culture of greed incubated that was widely condemned by many . . . Thatcher was a grocer’s daughter and she saw her world through that prism. And it was she who uttered the most terrifying thing I have ever heard: “there are no such thing as communities, only individuals”.

          • Ac1 says:

            Actually this was just a problem of visible unemployment.

            Under the previous Labour regime unemployment was hidden in non-company “nationalised” industries, sounds like a non-job? You’re right.

            Thatcher REVEALED the truth about the economy. Labour tried to hide it.

            Dear London Muslim,

            Your being in London is the saving of your life.

            Be grateful everyday you awake.

            These are the facts that confront us about the Muslim world from which, London Muslim, you have had the good fortune to have escaped:

            1. Politics: Few Muslim nations are real democracies; in the Arab heartland, the count is zero. An exceptionally high proportion of the Muslim nations, the highest proportion of any major bloc of countries, are politically pathological, having failed to achieve internal stability that rests on anything other than brute force. They are also prone to external aggression, directly or by proxy, much of it serving no discernable national interest.

            2. Economics: The Muslim world is impoverished and backward economically if one ignores oil, a windfall that it did not itself create. Worse still, even the oil states can’t produce their own oil but rely on foreign expertise and labor.

            3. Society: Most Muslim societies are backward in terms of basic social indicators like levels of education and the status of women. Civil society is stunted. Corruption is rife. Alienation is widespread.

            4. Culture: The culture of the Muslim world is not admired by outsiders, either in its high or popular versions. Foreign students do not flock to its universities. Its ideals do not resonate for others. No-one dreams of being like them.

            Labour don’t give a toss about our country, only staying in power. New Labour and its Stasi system of informers and bullying advisors have pushed our politics into the gutter. Peerages await for its media lackeys, champagne opportunists all; Marr, Robinson, Dimblebys, Humphries and all the other labour spinning millionaire parrots enjoying feathering their nests and egos at the cost of changing this corrupt and inept Brown government in order to stay on their gravy train.
            If proof was needed, how could anyone in their right mind want to re-elect this bunch of third rate incompetants and professional liars who have wrecked our economy and are hell bent on destroying our national pride.
            Cameron should instigate a public BBC labour bias watch because the lengths the BBC are going to damage the Tory party in its coverage are reaching hysterical lengths and are clearly being orchestrated at the front line. This is not fairness or democracy, this is blatant BBC bias to protect its own hallowed position and its bloated left wing Yentobian freeloaders from an incoming Tory government which would hopefully reign in its left wing predujices – nothing to do with socialism or fairness, just retaining power. Its awful to admit it but even Sky’s news coverage of current events paints a more accurate picture now than the BBC. We just want all the truth, not just a few selected parts from the BBC.

      4. Cut the benefits bill.

      5. Immediate stop to giving money to the EU.

      6. Give the referendum that the UK has not had on getting out of the EU political club. We were lied to by Ted Heath, and only a tiny minority now even had the chance to vote on it compared to the current population.

      7. Have mass trials of those New Labour politicians that created the worse UK recession in it’s entire existence, and aided the biggest fraud against taxpayers ever.

      8. Restore the death sentence for treason.

    Actually the government are trying to suggest the Tories have no ideas having campaigned themselves on pledges they did not keep to. If the Tories unveil solid pledges they are stolen by the government or a stream of lies and statistics are used to destroy them. This is to a degree a no- win situation until an election is called. I am sure the Tories are simply absorbing punches but sustaining pressure until Gordon announces the date; from which time Dave will ‘unleash Hell’.

    The sad thing is the sofa style government, spin, union supported bullying, the present big brother regime and complete denial of fact has led to the currency taking a hammering. In this case the currency to which I refer is not Sterling but rather the truth…

    Should criticism of the Tories in this case focus on spin? When will the electorate wake up to the fact that nothing the government says anymore can be trusted. Gordon follows up lies to Chilcott with a visit to Afghanistan and yet more ‘announcements’ of support that even my 8 year old can see through!

Admitting he will be in ‘a whole load of trouble’ for saying so, Mr Vaizey claims Mrs Cameron ‘might have voted for Blair’ and could well consider backing Gordon Brown in the coming poll.

            The elder Murdoch was already severely ill with heart trouble when he sent his son to college in Oxford, England. The younger Murdoch developed an unsavory reputation for partying rather than studying, but his father’s friend Lord Beaverbrook, publisher of the Daily Express (London), gave him work at the newspaper, where he quickly picked up Beaverbrook’s flair for sensational headlines and snappy, short-sentenced prose.

            At the time Murdoch was a SOCIALIST who celebrated Lenin as a great man, and he proved to be such an adept debater in favor of his views that in 1950 he was elected PRESIDENT of Oxford’s LABOUR Club.

        It may be that the party which ‘governs’ for the next five year term will be forced by circumstances, never mind the IMF, to make cuts so deep and unpopular that said party will be destroyed. An election victory is a poisoned chalice. The UK electorate having idiotically voted for fiscal, immigration, statism and security policies insane and delusional to the extreme, should also be forced to bear the pain and learn a salutory lesson for in voting for such an obviuos nonsense created under Blair and Brown.

    Nick2 says:

    The problem the Tories have is in maintaining any clear distinction from Labour policies. Look (for example) at crime. Labour have poured lots into law enforcement (but created a paperwork/procedure obsessed bureaucracy that finds it easier to arrest the law abiding than (say) young tearaways.

    The Tories website says “What people want from the Home Office is a no-nonsense approach to the crime and disorder problems in their communities.” That’s not a policy. It’s at best an aspiration, or maybe an ambition. Labour have probably already trumped that with their recent gesture of ending the early prisoner release scheme, which actually got mentioned in the news.

    The problem is that if the Tories offer radical policies, Labour will immediately counter-attack by hurling all the Tories’ previous opposition to their past proposals, eg prison building.

    If the Tories offered, Much tougher sentencing, longer custodial (and more frequently applied) sentances and a large prison building program in the middle of no-where (so no NIMBYism), said that they’d stop the ridiculous Police paperwork somehow, maybe even offered a referendum on the death penalty then THAT’d be radical. But Labour would be able to unleash a media shit-storm comprising (previous?) soundbites from Tory politicians crtiticising each proposal & a deluge of Guardianistas /media types wall to wall talking about the impending Police State.

    It’s the same with practically any other radical approach. Labour will be able to throw Tory words back at them & show them as dithering & indecisive.

      New Labour has poured lots of money into the police in buying them new toys, like arming the police with pepper spray and tazer guns, giving them Mercedes and BMW patrol cars, £5m+ each police helicopters.

      And for all that, they are most interested in arresting grannies who accidentally drop tissues from their pocket, or photographers going about their lawful business of photographing anything they like.

      Crime is out of control, but New Labour and police are more interested in the 3000 non-crimes they created to get as many people a criminal record as possible.

      The police are institutionally corrupt and cannot be trusted for anything.

I’ve also got Ellie Bloggs’s book but haven’t read it yet.

We are constantly arresting the same people but they are never punished to an extent that changes their offending. This is because the liberal/socialist establishment continue to cling to the belief that all people are good and can be persuaded to change.

          Ineffective sentencing has led to greater criminality as there is no deterrent effect.

          Every day across the country, the cells are full. This is an embarrasment to the Govt. who do not want to the the prison population increase on their watch as this would be an indictment of socialist principles and methods.

    Lord Ashcroft will be reason that the Conservatives lose the next General Election

    The row over Lord Ashcroft’s donations to the Tory party threatened to erupt into a full-blown constitutional crisis last night as questions were raised over whether the Queen and the former prime minister, Tony Blair, had granted him a peerage under false pretences.

    As David Cameron’s aides confirmed that Ashcroft would be retiring as Tory deputy chairman after the election, the Liberal Democrats called on the cabinet secretary, Sir Gus O’Donnell, to publish all documents relating to the peerage as a matter of urgency, so that it could be established whether the sovereign had been misled.

    In a letter to O’Donnell, the Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesman, Lord Oakeshott, said that, given the “overwhelming public interest” in how the Tories’ biggest donor came to be elevated to the Lords, it was vital “to establish whether the Queen conferred a life peerage… under false pretences

      Labour may rely on Scottish MPs to bulldoze their lousy legislation in England, but I’d be surprised if they acted very differently with SNP MPs alongside them.

    Cameron wife in Labour vote claim

    A senior Conservative is to go on TV with the sensational claim that David Cameron’s wife Samantha has voted Labour in the past and could back Gordon Brown in this year’s general election.

    But shame-faced arts spokesman Ed Vaizey, a friend of Cameron’s from Oxford University who is a member of the “Notting Hill set”, admitted he has “no justification” for the claim and is “very embarrassed” to have said it.

    In a documentary, Cameron Uncovered, to be broadcast on Channel 4 on Monday, Mr Vaizey tells interviewer Andrew Rawnsley that he will be “in a whole lot of trouble” for making the suggestion.

    But he goes on to add that Mrs Cameron “might have voted for Blair” and says: “She would be going into this poll thinking, ‘Is Cameron the real deal or should I stick with Brown?’”

          Individuals with malignant narcissism will display a two faced personality. Creation of a “false self” is linked to the narcissist’s fear of being inadequate or inferior to others and this mask becomes ingrained into their personality so as to project a sense of superiority to others at all times.[9][unreliable source?] The narcissist gains a sense of esteem from the feedback of other people as it is common for the malignant narcissist to suffer from extremely low levels of self-esteem.[citation needed]

          The conjured up alter ego (or false self) of the malignant narcissist is created because the real self doesn’t meet his or her own expectations. Instead, the narcissist tends to mimic emotional displays of other people and creates a grandiose self to harbor their internalized fantasies of greatness. The alter ego is used by the narcissist to present to the outside world what appears to be a normal, functioning human being and to help maintain his or her own fantasies of an idealized self. The narcissist constantly builds upon this false self, creating a fictional character that is used to show off to the world and to help them feed off the emotions of other people.

          Under poor conditions, the narcissist may take off their mask and display a weaker or even hideous personality.

        With very low paid workers now paying tax at 20p instead of 10p, consider the following.

        Alistair Darling, the chancellor,or is he?, changed his main home four times in four years. He even charged a £10,000 stamp duty bill to the taxpayer. So the man responsible for stamp duty, avoids paying it himself.

        But surely Gordon Brown’s moral high compass would ensure that he would not be following in the footsteps of the chancellor in this sleight-of-hand money grabbing stuff. Gordon has told us all of his hatred of all those tax loopholes and tax avoidance schemes, hasn’t he?

        When chancellor himself, he had a grace and favour apartment in Downing Street. He also had a bolt hole flat nearby, bought from the estate of the late Robert Maxwell. Shortly before he became PM, Gordon designated his bolt hole flat as his second home. This allowed him to claim allowances for it, which included paying his brother six thousand pounds for cleaning services. He also spread the cost of a nine thousand pound kitchen from Ikea, over 2 financial years. This allowed him to stay just within the maximum second home allowance limit.

        But Gordon became PM as we all know and just like a very shrewd business man looking to keep things all for himself and not to give anything to the taxman, HE PUT HIS FLAT IN HIS WIFE’S NAME! As you do if you are a capitalist. This means of course that if he sells the flat, no capital gains tax is liable.

        Hang on though, I’m not finished yet.

        This of course left him free to now nominate his home in Scotland as his second home. This has allowed him to extensively renovate it at the taxpayer’s expenses. The taxpayer also forks out for the cost of the cleaner and the gardener.

        All this AND he lives virtually cost-free in Downing Street for the past 12 years. So why has he charged anything to the taxpayer? Just because you can, doesn’t mean you have to does it? What about his moral compass? He also earns £194250 as PM and an MP. In addition, he has a 6 figure index linked pension to look forward to. The tax payer even pays for a sky sports subscription.

        Do you consider Gordon had paid his fair share that he says we all have to pay?

        I repeat, Gordon had a choice this week and so did all his labour MP’s to make life a little more easier for the low-paid. They CHOSE not to. According to the IFS, this decision by labour to make the very low paid, pay more tax is affecting 1.3 million people. He even lied to get his finance bill passed by telling his MP’s that if they voted for 10p for the low paid, his finance bill would fail. The clerks to the speaker in the HofC told Dianne Abott that this simply was not true. Clearly you can see how Gordon, the labour party and the labour MP’s were determined to vote it through and make life more difficult for the low-paid.

        I hope he enjoyed his lavish dining and entertaining at the g20 too.

        Remember, Labour no longer represents the low-paid, neither do the unions, not one union raised a voice in support either. Why would that be?

    Compulsive Lying Explained

    Compulsive lying has grown in popularity over recent years and many people have adapted this nasty habit. The consequences and results of a person’s actions through lying can be serious and damaging and this is why compulsive lying needs to be rectified as soon as it has been identified.

    Basically Compulsive lying can be explained as a habit when a person continues to lie about facts for no reason. In almost all occasions the person telling the lie will actually believe the lie themselves. They will twist certain situations to suit their needs or arrangements.

    Compulsive lying is seen as a medical problem and it can be prevented and treated through various methods such as hypnosis. In the majority of the cases the compulsive lair will be aware that they are lying and know that they are doing the wrong thing, but the lies will still continue. It is important to note that compulsive lying is not recognized as a clinical disorder.

    The common problem is that a person will tell a single lie to cover something and eventually that lie will develop and change which results in the person being caught up in their own web of lies.

    Once the liar has been caught can be worst they will be forced to change the story or just avoid the situation by saying that they were joking. Just like any other habit, lying will start off small and gradually grow over time.

    Soon you will find that you start to think of lies easier and eventually the excuses and lies just roll out of your mouth. If you have reached this stage then you should seriously consider changing and start working towards a truthful lifestyle.

    The habit of compulsive lying can hit at any time no matter who you are. It is up to you to identify that you have a problem and seek treatment. Again, like most habits it will take time and effort, but with constant, diligent effort you will be rewarded by decreasing the number of lies you tell. People suffering from compulsive lying will keep away from people they are not associated with and rather be with their main friends as they feel safer.

    Compulsive lying can destroy a person and the people around them or worse, pull others into the habit of lying constantly. If you suffer from compulsive lying and you want to get help then I highly recommend trying hypnosis.

    Recognizing the Symptoms of Compulsive Liars

    It can take some time to come to the realization that someone is lying compulsively. At first, it’s easy to take everything a person says as the truth. After some time, you may begin to realize that many of the things this person is telling you simply don’t add up. You begin to see that life around this person doesn’t correlate to the life the person portrays. This is only the beginning.

    Here are some more symptoms of compulsive liars that may not be as straightforward.

    * Low self-esteem: This is a hallmark of most people with a compulsive lying disorder. Deep-seated feelings of inferiority drive such a person to fabricate a persona that makes them feel more worthy.
    * Other negative personality traits: Compulsive lying is often a secondary impulse related to other personality disorders. Watch for narcissistic and/or manipulative behavior. Inappropriate emotions and impulsive reactions to situations can be another tip off that something is not quite right.
    * Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): People suffering from ADHD also demonstrate impulsive behavior, and it’s possible for this to escalate into uncontrollable lying if not kept in check.
    * Addictions: People with addictions to gambling, alcohol, drugs or other activities also are much more likely to lie compulsively.
    * Bipolar Disorder: Sufferers of a bipolar disorder seesaw through periods of depression and mania. Depression is usually accompanied by low self-esteem and feeling like life is dreadful. Mania is the complete opposite, and a person feels like life is grand and nothing can get in the way. Impulsive behavior is common during this period, and it becomes easier to tell a lie than face reality.
    * Inability to face reality: Even when confronted with the cold facts, a true compulsive liar will never admit the truth. Attempts to make the person do so will result in further lying and perhaps even emotional outbursts designed to deflect attention from the lying.

    “DAMNING reports on the state of the National Health Service, suppressed by the government, reveal how patients’ needs have been neglected.

        The country is deliberately being converted into the 3rd-world. Have you noticed how, in the 3rd-world, dictatorship is the norm? This is because the populations of less-accomplished peoples are easier to control, taking the 30-year reign of Robert Mugabe as an example, or even Hosni Mubarak, or Gadaffi, or the Assad dynasty. Our ruling ‘elite’ want some of that continuity and so they will create the population that will provide it.

    The serial bully:

    * is a convincing, practised liar and when called to account, will make up anything spontaneously to fit their needs at that moment
    * has a Jekyll and Hyde nature – is vile, vicious and vindictive in private, but innocent and charming in front of witnesses; no-one can (or wants to) believe this individual has a vindictive nature – only the current target of the serial bully’s aggression sees both sides; whilst the Jekyll side is described as “charming” and convincing enough to deceive personnel, management and a tribunal, the Hyde side is frequently described as “evil”; Hyde is the real person, Jekyll is an act
    * excels at deception and should never be underestimated in their capacity to deceive
    * uses excessive charm and is always plausible and convincing when peers, superiors or others are present (charm can be used to deceive as well as to cover for lack of empathy)
    * is glib, shallow and superficial with plenty of fine words and lots of form – but there’s no substance
    * is possessed of an exceptional verbal facility and will outmanoeuvre most people in verbal interaction, especially at times of conflict
    * is often described as smooth, slippery, slimy, ingratiating, fawning, toadying, obsequious, sycophantic
    * relies on mimicry, repetition and regurgitation to convince others that he or she is both a “normal” human being and a tough dynamic manager, as in extolling the virtues of the latest management fads and pouring forth the accompanying jargon
    * is unusually skilled in being able to anticipate what people want to hear and then saying it plausibly
    * cannot be trusted or relied upon
    * fails to fulfil commitments
    * is emotionally retarded with an arrested level of emotional development; whilst language and intellect may appear to be that of an adult, the bully displays the emotional age of a five-year-old
    * is emotionally immature and emotionally untrustworthy
    * exhibits unusual and inappropriate attitudes to sexual matters, sexual behaviour and bodily functions; underneath the charming exterior there are often suspicions or hints of sex discrimination and sexual harassment, perhaps also sexual dysfunction, sexual inadequacy, sexual perversion, sexual violence or sexual abuse
    * in a relationship, is incapable of initiating or sustaining intimacy
    * holds deep prejudices (eg against the opposite gender, people of a different sexual orientation, other cultures and religious beliefs, foreigners, etc – prejudiced people are unvaryingly unimaginative) but goes to great lengths to keep this prejudicial aspect of their personality secret
    * is self-opinionated and displays arrogance, audacity, a superior sense of entitlement and sense of invulnerability and untouchability
    * has a deep-seated contempt of clients in contrast to his or her professed compassion
    * is a control freak and has a compulsive need to control everyone and everything you say, do, think and believe; for example, will launch an immediate personal attack attempting to restrict what you are permitted to say if you start talking knowledgeably about psychopathic personality or antisocial personality disorder in their presence – but aggressively maintains the right to talk (usually unknowledgeably) about anything they choose; serial bullies despise anyone who enables others to see through their deception and their mask of sanity
    * displays a compulsive need to criticise whilst simultaneously refusing to value, praise and acknowledge others, their achievements, or their existence
    * shows a lack of joined-up thinking with conversation that doesn’t flow and arguments that don’t hold water
    * flits from topic to topic so that you come away feeling you’ve never had a proper conversation
    * refuses to be specific and never gives a straight answer
    * is evasive and has a Houdini-like ability to escape accountability
    * undermines and destroys anyone who the bully perceives to be an adversary, a potential threat, or who can see through the bully’s mask
    * is adept at creating conflict between those who would otherwise collate incriminating information about them
    * is quick to discredit and neutralise anyone who can talk knowledgeably about antisocial or sociopathic behaviors
    * may pursue a vindictive vendetta against anyone who dares to held them accountable, perhaps using others’ resources and contemptuous of the damage caused to other people and organisations in pursuance of the vendetta
    * is also quick to belittle, undermine, denigrate and discredit anyone who calls, attempts to call, or might call the bully to account
    * gains gratification from denying people what they are entitled to
    * is highly manipulative, especially of people’s perceptions and emotions (eg guilt)
    * poisons peoples’ minds by manipulating their perceptions
    * when called upon to share or address the needs and concerns of others, responds with impatience, irritability and aggression
    * is arrogant, haughty, high-handed, and a know-all
    * often has an overwhelming, unhealthy and narcissistic attention-seeking need to portray themselves as a wonderful, kind, caring and compassionate person, in contrast to their behaviour and treatment of others; the bully sees nothing wrong with their behavior and chooses to remain oblivious to the discrepancy between how they like to be seen and how they are seen by others
    * is spiritually dead although may loudly profess some religious belief or affiliation
    * is mean-spirited, officious, and often unbelievably petty
    * is mean, stingy, and financially untrustworthy
    * is greedy, selfish, a parasite and an emotional vampire
    * is always a taker and never a giver
    * is convinced of their superiority and has an overbearing belief in their qualities of leadership but cannot distinguish between leadership (maturity, decisiveness, assertiveness, co-operation, trust, integrity) and bullying (immaturity, impulsiveness, aggression, manipulation, distrust, deceitfulness)
    * often fraudulently claims qualifications, experience, titles, entitlements or affiliations which are ambiguous, misleading, or bogus
    * often misses the semantic meaning of language, misinterprets what is said, sometimes wrongly thinking that comments of a satirical, ironic or general negative nature apply to him or herself
    * knows the words but not the song
    * is constantly imposing on others a false reality made up of distortion and fabrication
    * sometimes displays a seemingly limitless demonic energy especially when engaged in attention-seeking activities or evasion of accountability and is often a committeeaholic or apparent workaholic

    GORDON,

    WHO TOLD LIES, AND WAS BURNED TO DEATH

    GORDON told such Dreadful Lies,
    It made one Gasp and Stretch one’s Eyes;
    His Father, who, from his Earliest Youth,
    Had kept a Strict Regard for Truth,
    Attempted to Believe Gordon:
    The effort very nearly killed Him,
    And would have done so, had not He
    Discovered this Infirmity.
    For once, towards the Close of Day,
    Gordon, growing tired of play,
    And finding he was left alone,
    Went tiptoe to the Telephone
    And summoned the Immediate Aid
    Of Renfrewshire’s Noble Fire-Brigade.
    Within an hour the Gallant Band
    Were pouring in on every hand,
    From Glasgow, Orkney Downs, and John Ogrow.
    With Courage high and Hearts a-glow,
    They galloped, roaring through the Town,
    ‘Gordon’s House is Burning down!’
    Inspired by Scottish Cheers and Loud
    Proceeding from the Frenzied Crowd,
    They ran their ladders through a score
    Of windows on the Ball Room Floor;
    And took Peculiar Pains to Souse
    The Pictures up and down the House,
    Until Gordon’s Father succeeded
    In showing them they were not needed;
    And even then He had to pay
    To get the Men to go away!

    It happened that a few Weeks later
    His Father was off to the Theatre
    To see that Interesting Play
    The Second Mrs. Tanqueray.
    He had refused to take his Son
    To hear this Entertaining Piece:
    A Deprivation Just and Wise
    To Punish him for Telling Lies.
    That Night a Fire did break out–
    You should have heard dear old Gordon Shout!
    You should have heard him Scream and Bawl,
    And throw the window up and call
    To People passing in the Street–
    (The rapidly increasing Heat
    Encouraging him to obtain
    Their confidence) — but all in vain!
    For every time he shouted ‘Fire!’
    They only answered ‘Little Liar!’
    And therefore when his Father returned,
    Gordon, and the House, were Burned.

      I don’t want ANY feedback from studio audiences – it will merely slow down the pace of debate. Look at Question Time – the audiences are pre-selected (if only by prescribing applicants from one, Labour-supporting area), the questions are asked slowly, the panellists crack a few jokes/cast a few jibes & then briefly touch on the question, whilst the flow ebbs during ‘audience participation’. After a while Dimbleby starts asking audience members for their ‘responses’ , & often re-casts the question to the remaining panellists who’ve not had a chance to answer yet. The whole thing is slow & unfocussed.

      Compare with a (hypothetical) debate, without audience, moderated by someone like Robin Day (yes, he’s now dead)/John Humphrys/Jeremy Paxman – none perfect but at least they would keep the politicians on track & the debate moving. People might learn something from debates held like that. Especially as a tough, fast debate could force errors by any/all of the candidates.

    But who did they ask those questions too? That’s key to this issue.

    If they asked tory voters, then being harder on immigration and crime will “make them more likely to vote tory” but they’d be voting tory anyway.

    If they asked labour/swing voters, then “cut banker’s bonuses” would be high up their list.

    You’ll get a different response depending on what type of people you ask (sounds obvious, but it’s not taken into account on that survey from what I can see).

    The tories shouldn’t be going to the right just to please people who would vote tory anyway; they need to stay to the left/centre to placate the swing/labour voters. They need to get into power first, and to do that they need to stay in the centre, not veer right.

    They need to do the same thing as blair did but veer leftwards instead of rightwards towards the centre.

    You need to get into power first, and then you do what you need to. You most definitely do NOT placate your core-vote who’d vote for you anyway at the expense of your swing vote. Get into power, then veer back towards where you wanted afterwards. That’s the only way to do what you need to do.

      “But who did they ask those questions to?”

      why can’t we edit our posts? boo-hoo.

      anyway; most voters don’t care about long/medium term economics, or even listen to rational arguments, they just vote for their own “core” party, or they vote for who they think won’t destroy their own way of living.

      You can’t use medium/long term rational argument when it comes to manifestos because you’d win the argument intellectually but you’d lose the election.

      Although it’s not pleasant/good to have to basically lie or obfuscate, it’s something you have to do to get into power in the uk. You have to cater for stupid/short-termist people if you want to get into power, you can’t just use rational argument and expect to win. If you could use rational argument to win then labour would currently have a share of 0%, not around 30%.

        Could I point out that if Cameron preaches to the left he will lose his core vote and have a net gain of nothing? This is what’s happening people on the left think he is a liar and really a right wing Tory and his core vote have abandoned him because they believe he is a politically correct arsehole.

          Are you saying that the majority of voters are all intellegent people who understand the nature of the structural deficit and how the financial markets work?

          If you are then you’re even more deluded than Brown is.

          You and I and most people who read this blog might understand the nature of the structural deficit and all the medium term economic implications of the debt etc, but most people don’t.

          The political reality is that if the tories want to get into power then they do have to stay on the centre-left while trying to get in. They can do whatever they want after they get in, but to get power they have to placate the swing voters and some of the labour voters. Most of their core vote will stay the same regardless.

          As per my reply above, if your assertion that the majority of ordinary voters understood/appreciated the economic situation was true then the labour vote would currently be zero, but it’s not, it’s around 30%, so your assertion is self-evidently untrue; 30% of people still want to vote for a party which has destroyed the economy, and that illlustrates the “core vote” situation; the tories also have a corresponding (but smaller) core vote.

          The problem is also exacerbated by the BBC’s biased reporting.

          If the BBC were to report what the tories did/said fairly, then I’m sure the tories would put forward better arguments/proposals, but whenever the proposals stray outside what labour themselves are saying, then the BBC misreports it.

          The tories could say “We’ll cut £20billion off the budget on day-1 by getting rid of a handful of obscure “grants” that the government currently give out to people who shouldn’t even have them”

          and that’d be reported by the BBC as “Tories want to sack 20,000 nurses”

    DelBoy says:

    Researchers have discovered the heaviest element yet known to science.
    The new element, Governmentium (symbol=Gv), has one neutron, 25
    assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons and 198 assistant deputy
    neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.

    These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are
    surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called pillocks.
    Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be
    detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into
    contact.

    A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally
    take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete.
    Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2 to 6 years. It does not decay,
    but instead undergoes a reorganisation in which a portion of the
    assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.

    In fact, Governmentium’s mass will actually increase over time, since
    each reorganisation will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming
    isodopes. This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists
    to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical
    concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as a critical
    morass. When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium
    (symbol=Ad), an element that radiates just as much energy as
    Governmentium, since it has half as many pillocks but twice as many morons.

      Brown thinks his PhD trumps everyone. But it doesn’t.

    The Tories not only need clear policies, they need to express in very simple terms the effects of Labour policy.

    If the annual deficit were funded by income tax, how many pence in the pound would it be?

    If the annual deficit were funded by VAT, how many percentage points would it be?

    What does it cost in interest to delay the removal of the annual deficit by one month?

    How much will it cost in terms of income tax or vat to run the current deficit for another year, assuming that it is to be paid back in two Parliaments and including interest on the debt.?

    This is the sort of information voters need.

    How much will another Labour Government cost me?

    Expressed in terms that resonate with the voters and which they can understand.

    Exposing the lies says:

    It is now clear that this Government and Brown in particular has employed a tactic over the years of having a number of people working extremly hard behind the scenes on behalf of Brown. These people are usually not directly connected to the Government in that they do not hold official posts. This gives them a certain cloak of invisibility under which they work and this renders them unlikely to be seen as legitimate targets for the opposition. The most obvious one is of course our old friend and “Former” spin Doctor for Brown, Charlie Whelan. He has been operating as a former this and that for years now even though its now obvious he never left the service of his master at all.

    What has become apparant though is the unveiling of another individual who has been scheming and manipulating behind the scenes for Gordon over the years. None other than Sarah Brown.

    She is as much responsible for what has occured in recent years as her husband. She is a main player and must be recognised as such.

    The Tories Are Tax Evaders says:

    Let us be quite clear on this issue of Lord Ashcroft’s tax evasion: this matter proves that the millionaires who run the Conservative party resent paying tax and that the Conservative party’s default position is to evade paying tax.
    The only people who will pay taxes under a Conservative administration would be those on middle and low incomes.
    That fact is why the Tories poll ratings have dropped off the edge of a cliff, the of this country have figured out that David Cameron is a millionaire con man who condones tax evasion.

      oh dear just like gordon!

      But surely Gordon Brown’s moral high compass would ensure that he would not be following in the footsteps of the chancellor in this sleight-of-hand money grabbing stuff. Gordon has told us all of his hatred of all those tax loopholes and tax avoidance schemes, hasn’t he?

      When chancellor himself, he had a grace and favour apartment in Downing Street. He also had a bolt hole flat nearby, bought from the estate of the late Robert Maxwell. Shortly before he became PM, Gordon designated his bolt hole flat as his second home. This allowed him to claim allowances for it, which included paying his brother six thousand pounds for cleaning services. He also spread the cost of a nine thousand pound kitchen from Ikea, over 2 financial years. This allowed him to stay just within the maximum second home allowance limit.

      But Gordon became PM as we all know and just like a very shrewd business man looking to keep things all for himself and not to give anything to the taxman, HE PUT HIS FLAT IN HIS WIFE’S NAME! As you do if you are a capitalist. This means of course that if he sells the flat, no capital gains tax is liable.

      Hang on though, I’m not finished yet.

      This of course left him free to now nominate his home in Scotland as his second home. This has allowed him to extensively renovate it at the taxpayer’s expenses. The taxpayer also forks out for the cost of the cleaner and the gardener.

      All this AND he lives virtually cost-free in Downing Street for the past 12 years. So why has he charged anything to the taxpayer? Just because you can, doesn’t mean you have to does it? What about his moral compass? He also earns £194250 as PM and an MP. In addition, he has a 6 figure index linked pension to look forward to. The tax payer even pays for a sky sports subscription.

      Do you consider Gordon had paid his fair share that he says we all have to pay?

    caesars wife says:

    Well if Tim montgomerie thinks “its for conservatives to stop appologising” he has a timely point , but CW would add a bit of a caveat in that some sublimal underlying changes must be paid attention to . CW is a Thatcher child who with great regret voted for Tony in 1997 , in with Tony came a whole load of modernisation ideas , some of which need reform some of which need a flame thrower applying to them .The one thing most youg people will not realise is the conservatives long standing abhorrance to public spending and running high debt and tax economies . As a simple message “more for less” or perhaps more in your own pocket to spend as you wish , should be a universal invite to look at conservative thinking for the new or brainwashed labour voters .

    It is interesting that labour have busted the country again (despite promising never to do so in 1997) , and yet because of the way the ruin has structered the economy , the conservatives have pulled some punches in making the case for a low cost political structure and labour hoping they can dust down the nasty tories image and take it on an election tour of the country . The libs are continuing with labour comfy soundbites , hoping to just gain a not Labour vote by default or carve a niche as power brokers .
    Conservative polices make a great deal of sense , not just in the times of crisis where they have often had the bottle to grasp the hot housed socialist nettles and halocingenic herbs, but in the less trubulent times when sound institutions need renewing .

    The revival of conservatism is not entirely due calling its olds dinosaurs or its more dynamic message and outreach , I find a great deal of Labours policys slightly creepy , the petty law breeches , the all men are peados , its white flag to drugs and teenage sex/preganancy , its continual subverting of the natural family unit as being a help in fighting poverty, its dumbing down and delerious must be connected mental treadmills . All very creepy and in some ways inhuman , mettalic , droid like society creating nutter kids posing in gangsta vids with real guns .

    The saying goes that without experiments you never discover anything , well CW thinks labour/socialists/marxists have conducted a very terrible experiment on the british people in robbing them of the need to live a life based the functions of there own mind ,rather than whatever the state deploys in the form of spin.

    once you reach the conclusion that so much of socialism politics is basically a made up story rooted in early phsycology and darwinian thinking , you get the idea that this particular rehash of socialism (and its marxist utopia fake terminus) is flawed and oppresive despite its liberal dress codes.

    The conservatives have taken some considerable time to come out of there slumber , the grandparents have had there role in trying to tell the moderns that somthing may be wrong with all the hype and spin and politics is not just a matter for the professional political class , which with hind sight has proved more difficult to grasp , in relaigning the voter with the party .

    the ruin no doubt wants an election with the electorate based in weak consenus poltics and the Lib dems face becoming an irrelevence , because the conservatives could well have liberal message to offer by there ecnomic beliefs , with the economy in good shape , people do have more freedom of choices .But then there is this socialist aspect of the lib dems , the great lisbon betrayal , its anti british mood music and its often gutless hard subject policy avoidences . so cameron does have somthing to offer the Liberal voter , he wants better schools , quality education and choice . the liberals actually need someone like cameron to pull them out of there marxist stupoor which is slowing splitting the lib dems into the naval gazers and beige party .
    vote lib dem and you get Gordon brown , in a hung parliament scenario would be true .

    but what about those of us who now see the deeper origional shade of blue as now being correct ?? Are we to get our P45s ?? squeezed out by a changes in the way that society works , that we are told , we no longer understand and banished from public speaking or office .

    CW is reminded that a young man , can work faster,be more ambitous, produce more and earn more (that is youth) , only an old man can have seen enough to to tell you if what you are doing has any real worth or value .
    CW also notes that the young dont seem to listen or do as there parents once did (that in time can often be the regret of youth), but that is perhaps also more the fault of all the marxist mind bending.

      Well I must congratulate you on that post,it’s one of the best ones I have seen here.
      Hopefully many will read this and pass the message on,the British public are sleepwalking into a nightmare scenario if they elect another LIARBOUR bunch of population manipulating marxist dictators.
      My one objection however is that Cameron isn’t getting his message across,just what is he waiting for?.Armageddon is around the corner so to speak and he has so many open goals to aim at,I am at a loss as to what goes on.
      Topics:-
      1) Immigration out of control,really on peoples minds.
      2) Economy,a complete shambles.
      3) Education a joke,producing people who are substandard.
      4) Client Voters,who are reliant on the state for their livelihood.
      5) NHS which is a shadow of it’s former self,top heavy with tiers of management.
      6) Defence spending,a joke continually chopped by McBust.
      7) Policing,sorry I mean’t form filling to meet targets,when did you ever catch a crimminal by this criteria.
      8) EUSSR,exactly when were the British people asked DID THEY WANT TO BECOME A DEPENDENT STATE OF THE EUSSR,no they were not,I for one would have thought that a people would be asked if they wanted THEIR country and I repeat THEIR country given away by a bunch of Stalinist traitors.
      Finally is it just by chance that this disreputable no mark we have as PM is now seeing his chance to destroy the English traditions and culture for ever.

    Clapped out mills, obsolete factories. Productivity ? Who cares ? We can still compete with the Germans so long as we keep wage costs down. What could possibly go wrong ? lol
