Tories Launch Facebook Campaign Against Whelan

Timed to coincide with the Unite strike the Tories have launched a campaign using Facebook’s connect utility against Cash Gordon, and to “campaign against the new ‘militant tendency’ in the Labour Party”.

The innovative thing about this is the “competitive campaigning” aspect, you score points by sharing it with Facebook friends, emailing links, reading campaign notesAll to advance up a league table…

The campaign of course has a Twitter hashtag, #CashGordon.

        Unlike Billy Hague. I owe it all to him. Or he owes me £5.1 Million.
        Take your pick.

          Did you say cash in Gordon?

          • Disaffected says:

            I think this article by Mr Gould a former Labour MP says it all:

            Those, like me (and almost everyone I know in the Labour party), who have been critical over the years of New Labour and its record in government, might have expected that the passage of time would bring with it a kinder judgment. And in my case, in particular, it might have been thought that – 12,000 miles away in New Zealand – distance would lend enchantment.

            How, then, to explain that the more we take the long view of the Blair and now the Brown government, the sharper seem the contours of its failures and betrayals? How is it that the features of its landscape that grow – as our perspective lengthens – in shocking, anger-making prominence are those shameful episodes at home and abroad which cumulatively are a complete denial of what a Labour government (or any British government) should have been about?

            There have been of course many good and decent day-by-day achievements of this government. Across the whole range of political issues, I do not say that Britain did not do better under Labour than it would have done under most alternatives. But these achievements have been molehills, judged against the towering peaks scaled by New Labour in its rejection not only of Labour, but of any decent and civilised values.

            The first – and for that reason perhaps most unexpected – contravention of civilised norms was the Iraq war. The damning judgment of that doomed enterprise has been repeatedly rehearsed, but to read the charge sheet again is still a shocking experience. A British prime minister, claiming the right to moral leadership and an almost religious duty to confront evil, sucked up to a soon-to-be discredited US president and helped to launch an invasion of a distant country – an invasion based upon a lie, and one that flew in the face of international law, undermined the United Nations, alienated the whole of the Muslim world, seemed to validate the claims of terrorists and those who recruited them, destroyed the country that was invaded and killed hundreds of thousands of its citizens, took many young soldiers to their unnecessary deaths, and rightly reduced Britain’s standing in the world.

            The New Labour government still refuses to acknowledge that any of this was wrong. It will not even countenance an independent inquiry into how such a fatal mistake was made.

            It may seem improbable that the scale of the Iraq calamity could be matched in any other area of government. Yet, as the reasons for and scale of the global recession become clear, it is also increasingly apparent that another global (as well as British) disaster can be laid – substantially, if only partly – at the door of the New Labour government.

            It was, after all, that government which enthusiastically endorsed the virtues of the “free” market, which turned its back on the need for regulation, which celebrated the excesses of the City, which proclaimed that it was “intensely relaxed about people becoming filthy rich”. The government that should have protected the interests of ordinary people was dazzled by the super-rich; unsuspecting Labour supporters found themselves thrown on the tender mercies of a marketplace that was cleared of any limits that might have restricted the rich and powerful. There have been no more enthusiastic cheerleaders for the culture of greed and excess than New Labour ministers.

            On the central issue of politics – the willingness of government to use its democratic legitimacy to intervene in the market in order to restrain its excesses – the New Labour government ensured that the dice lay where they fell and applauded as they did. It was Tony Blair who, standing shoulder to shoulder with Rupert Murdoch, proclaimed that the future lay with the “globalisers” and that those who wanted to reclaim some control over their lives were “isolationists, nationalists and nativists”. It was Gordon Brown who removed the major economic decisions from democratic control and handed them over to unaccountable bankers.

            That betrayal of those who looked to a Labour government to help them has seen a rapid widening of inequality and a sharp intensification of social disintegration. It is the jobs, homes and lives of ordinary people that have borne the brunt. The country is a weaker and poorer place as a result.

            But even that failure pales by comparison with the latest revelations about the abandonment by New Labour of any pretence to civilised standards. We now know that this government connived with the Bush administration to hold people illegally, to kidnap them in secret, and to torture them while in custody – all in the name of a war against the forces of darkness. The perpetrators of these outrages seem to believe that they can be washed clean by simply declaring their superior morality.

            Nothing more clearly distinguishes those beyond the pale than their willingness to use the secret, illegal and cowardly infliction of pain to terrify, cow and bend to their will helpless people being held without charge or trial or legal redress. It beggars belief that any British government could, in a supposed democracy, do so, and not even bother to respond to its critics. It is simply incredible that a Labour government claiming to represent the values of the Labour movement could believe in these circumstances that it has any right to remain in office.

            For me, this is too much. I am sick to the stomach. I disown this so-called Labour government. I protest.

          • Disaffected says:

            Perhaps the strikers ought to remember McSlug raided their pension pot in 1997, BA will go broke because of their action and they are actively breaking a British company- only a few left. Liebour has reduced manufacturing from 29 to 12%. Carry on, you will be out of work for a long time and have no pension when you retire. Idiots.

      “The Prime Minister believes that this strike is in no-one’s interest and will cause unacceptable inconvenience to passengers.

      He urges the strike be called off immediately.

      He also urges BA’s management and workforce to get together without delay to resolve what is a dispute about jobs and wages.”

      When the wankers gave up, they walked across our garden, again, and scowled at us!

      Fucking libdems.. what a bunch of wankers.

          • Champagne Socialists says:

            THE POLITICAL WING OF UNITE, LIEBOUR, JUST LIKE OLD GERRY HAD A POLITICAL WING TOO.

            Unite, and the two unions that formed it, received the public money under two little-known funds to improve management and training for its members.

            It has been the biggest beneficiary of one of the schemes, the Union Modernisation Fund, and received a sixth of all the money given out under the Union Learning Fund.
            The figures have led to fresh claims that Britain’s biggest union has taken over the Labour Party after donating almost £30million over the past decade and employing a key adviser to Gordon Brown as its political director.

            It comes ahead of a planned three-day walkout by Unite members of BA’s cabin crew this weekend, which is set to cause travel chaos for thousands of passengers.

            Francis Maude, the Shadow Cabinet Office Minister, said: “This really looks like money laundering – taxpayers’ money is being funnelled into Unite then put straight back into Labour’s coffers.

            “It’s a real racket, with taxpayers’ money being round-tripped into Gordon Brown’s re-election fund. We must have much greater transparency on what unions are receiving from the Labour Government in return for their backhanders.”

        Then of course, don’t forget all the liebour luvvies at the dear old beeb, far too many to mention. All living off our taxes that we are forced to pay.

        Then there’s the good old socialists too who know a lot about the “working class”, Neil and Glenys Kinnock.

        All those luvvies in the Lords, all the old 80’s union leaders like Brenda Dean. Remember her? She did a hell of a lot to advance the cause for the print workers, didn’t she? Where are those that Murdoch sacked against where she is now, I wonder?

        My arms are aching now, any one else like to nominate their favourite champagne socialist?

        There really are so many. Lord Mandelson has to be the best, or would that honour now go to dear old Tone? He’s working so hard now and all the money that he and his wife are earning is going to make poverty history in Africa, isn’t that nice?

        Sorry I forgot the current Union dinosaurs; sorry I mean leaders, who really have to have the very best hotels when they stay away, while the working class will make do with the special offer from Travelodge at just £19 per night!

      fuckin hell, that is really depressing data and just goes to show how bad things really are.

      Worse still is proves just how much the politicians want to hide it before the election and pretend everything is ok.

      THEY REALLY DO KNOW WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ELCTION,BUT THEY DONT WANT TO TELL YOU BECAUSE NO ON WILL VOTE FOR THEM.

      LOOKS LIKE THINGS OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS ARE GONNA GET A LOT WORSE.

      NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY NOW, THEY WILL WITHOUT DOUBT, GO BACK ON THEIR WORDS IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ELCTION, WHEN THE MARKETS SAVAGE THE UK AND SAY THEY REALLY HAVE TO ACT NOW!

      IN ESSENCE IT LOOKS WORSE THAN GREECE.

      Hastings has been writing some spot-on articles lately….he has got brown well and truly sussed…..pity that team cameron doesn’t have more balls. Brown is labour’s biggest liability and yet he is slowly trying to morph into mr caring. There has been a blanket ban on labour campaigning on their past record; they are trying to erase history and campaign on “less cuts” for the future…they are deluded. So are the public for believing them.

    Gordon Brown's (bruised and battered) spokeswoman says:

    The Prime Minister regrets to announce that he will not be able to participate in the election debates with the other party leaders. He’s just discovered a prior engagement, a dinner with the marketing president of IKEA and the chancellor of Harlesden University, which cannot be cancelled. The PM was looking forward to the debates as he greatly relished the opportunity to put his case to the people and have a vigorous debate with his opponents.

    Iceland preparing to take IMF loan in echo of 1976 Britain

    Iceland is poised to become the first Western nation to go cap-in-hand to the International Monetary Fund since Britain’s humiliating loan in 1976.

    In 1976 the UK was forced to call on the IMF for a £2.3bn loan after inflation jumped to record levels and the pound slumped dramatically. The fund forced Chancellor Denis Healey into harsh public spending cuts and austere economic measures.

      I remember the Prices and Income Policy. No pay increases allowed.So we had people joining the company being paid far higher salaries than the staff who were already working there. Unless you were given promotion,no pay increases allowed (this didn’t happen as my company had to go to HO in the US to get permission for any promotions).This caused a lot of ill-feeling in the very successful company I was working for. Also remember my American bosses running out to the bank frequently as the pound nose-dived.

    Budget 2010: Tax has doubled under Labour

    The Government’s share of what we earn has nearly doubled in value since Labour came to power.

    These show that HMRC took £69bn out of salaries and pay packets in 1997, but expects to raise £134bn in 2010. National Insurance contributions (NICs) – a tax on income by another name – took less than £47bn out of pay 13 years ago, but will exceed £98bn in 2010, according to calculations by accountants Grant Thornton. Other taxes – such as stamp duty, council tax and capital gains tax (CGT) – have risen by even more.

    O/T When Nu-Liebor came to power in 1997 they repealed the Primary Purpose Act. This Act was put in place so that people from the sub-continent could not automatically bring their spouses to the UK.We know that arranged marriages in this group has always been high.Young girls were sent to P……….tan to marry, often marrying their cousins and money changed hands.Spouses would come to the UK,many of them could not speak English and many had no skill to offer the country,so many ended up unemployed. This resulted in the children not speaking English at home and having difficulties when they went to school. Many of these marriages ended in divorce once the spouse had got a British passport. The law was sensible but of course the P…………ni community thought they were being discriminated against.The cynical Nu-Liebor mafia having repealed the law has a huge following amongst the P…………ni community. The outcome? Repealing the law has resulted in places like Bradford having a huge increase in children born with special needs.The reason? Apparently 75% of all P……….nis in Bradford are married to their cousins. Baroness Ruth Deech has tabled a motion for a discussion on this.No doubt Nu-Liebor will do everything in its power to stop any serious discussion on this issue from taking place. Being from a third world community the P…………is will continue to marry their cousins.The hard-presses British taxpayer will be subsidising the offspring of inter-breeding until somebody has the guts to do something about it.

Gordon Brown’s digitally gurning face will greet us at breakfast time, with a reminder to cut down on calories, and on Friday evening, as you settle down with a glass of wine, the HMRC will demand an outrageous amount of back-tax, locking your access to other government ‘services’ until it has been paid.

      And that’s when it’s working.

      What catchy name will they devise for this? Statebook? Govspace?

        Benefits for the many not the few says:

        It will be fanatastic. Benefit claimants will find it even easier than they do now to continue receiving money from the UK taxpayer long after they have left this country to return to their homelands.

    And now, The Archers, in which Lord Ashcroft tries to buy out Brian Aldridge and David Archer in an attempt to take over Ambridge, applying pressure by personally slaughtering Joe Grundy’s ferrets outside ‘The Bull’.

    Dum di dum di dum di dum……

    Epic Tory fail. Lumped in with the (FAILED) Republican anti-health reformers who made the template for this.

    Tory Nutters fail again.

Ed Balls stretches credulity by claiming he isn’t ambitious

“I would love to be part of Ed’s Labour government but what I do next for me is not an all-consuming passion. I’m more bothered, in a personal sense, about getting to grade 8 piano by the time I’m 50.”
