Balls Losing to “Obama Inspired” Tory Campaign

Last night fact checking Cathy Newman from Channel 4 News took a look at Antony Calvert’s campaign to castrate Labour in Morley and Outwood. Watch her ask Ed Balls “will people be asking ‘where you up for Balls’ on May 7?”

Particularly amusing when a former Labour voter says, on camera, she hasn’t seen him for 2 years and Balls says “yes you have”Calling your voters liars to their face on the doorstep is an interesting canvassing strategy…

The bookies make Calvert and Balls pretty even, have a flutter for a bit of fun. It’ll give you more to cheer about on the night…

      No matter what happens on Thursday night, the castration of Ed Balls would undoubtedly be the highlight of the evening.

      Well, that and watching Gordon’s face as he realises he’ll be moving house…

        Because it’s pretty clear Dave isn’t winning a majority if he can’t even get a boost from Bigotgate or the final debate with only 4 days campaigning left.

        Looking forward to Balls getting humiliated. And even if he scrapes through he’ll just get humiliated in the Leadership election. He’ll soon realise being Browns chosen one is about as popular as smallpox after Browns fuckwittery.

          cant get much of a boost when labour has hit rock bottom already, might make a few labour voters stay at home thou.

          • Have some Balls says:

            The people of Morley would be mad to vote Tory or LibDem – Leeds City Council has been Tory/LibDem controlled since 2004 and it has completely sh&fted the town.

            Take a walk around and see what a bloody awful depressing place it is. In fact, it looks more like a decaying Eastern Europe former communist town than England. That’s why the BNP keep increasing their vote there.

      The NHS now has 44,000 more doctors and 89,000 more nurses than in 1997, and over 100 new hospital schemes have been completed.

          Even a brainless tit can work out that if I am on the dole and arrive home with a brand new Mercedes Benz for my wife, and although thrilled she says ‘how are you going to pay for this’, and I say ‘I can’t, they will repossess it on Monday along with the house which I used as security against it’ – then obviously the car is not only NOT a present, it is also threatening our home, then it shouldn’t take much for a professional TIT like you to work out that those nurses and doctors and hospitals are not a gift to the nation, but rather, they will endanger the whole health service budget when the IMF move in and make savage cuts to pay off the debt those extra doctors and nursed have got us into.

        Labour created Sure Start children’s centres, which are helping communities to overcome disadvantage and offering every child the best start in life – there are now 3,500 in total, one for every community.

        Labour has delivered more than 16,000 police officers and 16,000 Police Community Support Officers, and overall crime is down by 36 per cent since 1997.

        Back of the net!

            A second poll out tonight, from Harris for the Daily Mail, has good news for the Yellows, moderately good news for the blues, and Labour edging down to just 24%. This is just one point above the 23% that the Angus Reid/Economist poll found

          http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/education/article2337386.ece

          They spent millions converting an old Victorian school near my mother’s house into a Sure Start Centre. It was a lovely junior school and only became vacant as they all moved into a new PFI school down the road.
          So a few million later they have a Sure Start Centre teaching mothers among other things (and I kid you not) how to breast feed.

          FFS. As MOH observed it’s a difficult job balancing a fag in one hand and a can of lager in the other.

          As for the policemen…don’t make me laugh. Those Blunkett bobbies are nort and never will be policemen and it was one of Broon’s more exposed lies when he claimed 80% of police are on the beat. They’re not it was 80% of police who are meant to be on the beat are on the beat.God knows where the other 20% who are meant to be on the beat are. Helping mothers into Sure Start Centres I suppose.

When the IMF move in and make savage cuts to pay off the debt that the sure start scheme and extra community plods have got us into.

          Angry and Despondent says:

          Typical Labour supporter selectively using statistics in a way that’s just as bad as lying. Listen New Labour Pride, how many police officers have quit in the meantime? Add to that the huge numbers of officers who joined the police when Maggie Thatcher came to power and have now retired or coming up for retirement puts a massive hole in your stats. Those “extra” police officers you mention are just replacing the ones that have gone or are about to go. As for “Blunkett’s Bouncers”, they are next to useless and are there only to make it look as though there are more police on the streets. My God!, supervisory officers can’t even point out any mistakes they may have made on the beat with them having a union rep with them.

          Let’s not forget also that recruiting standards have been lowered so many more unsuitable people are being taken on, many more recruits aren’t getting through their probationary period (except of course, ethnic minorities who have their probationary periods extended) and many more are packing in the job because they cannot stand the political correctness and interference.

          RECORDEd crime may be falling because most people have lost faith in New Labour’s Police Service and don’t bother to report most petty crime. They now accept that there is no incentive to report minor crime because of the crap Criminal Justice System we’ve been saddled with. Add to that the BLATANT fiddling of crime statistics ( remember my one of my previous posts showed how street robbery was recorded as the lesser offence as “Theft From The Person” in order to “reduce” recorded muggings?). I wouldn’t trust ANY of Labour’s statistics they regularly spew out.

          What kind of person is “New Labour Pride” who can openly support a party that has shown itself to be endemically corrupt, whose M.P.s were the most avaricious in their expenses fiddling (duck houses and moats aside), lied to this country to start an illegal war and is responsible for the deaths of thousands, and whose previous leader couldn’t wait to stick two fingers up to his constituents and earn his millions and grow his property portfolio?

          War Bonds were used to help pay for the second world war. If the portion of tax payers money, used to pay off the debts run up by Brown, was designated as “the Brown socialist disaster repayment fund”, at least the taxpaying public would have a reminder not to vote for any socialist party again. If it took 50 years to repay, that would give the economy a breathing space.

        We now have to drive for over an hour to get to a hospital for breast cancer screening as our large Tory Built local general hospital no longer provides cancer screening. My step father has to travel for 2 hours for his lung cancer tests.

          Worst health service in western Europe. 30 times more likely to catch MRSA here than in hospitals in other western European countries. 17 times more likely to catch C-dif over here in hospital than in other countries in western Europe.

        Two patients have died recently in UK hospitals both having phoned the police in desperation at being left without even a sip of water until they actually died of thirst?

        The NHS has nothing to be proud of, it is broken beyond repair.

        I suppose that means you have not subtracted those who have retired, left the service completely broken or died in service?

        You may as well claim that “We have turned on the taps in our bathroom and run enough water to fill 20,000 baths” but conveniently forget to mention that you never put the plug in and you have squandered all of the resource!!!

    My Mentor Gordon calls New Labour voters “bigots”…(and far worse if the truth be known)

    And he is Prime Minister

    “So what”…

    “I am the Secretary of State” and power crazed to a point that I no longer really know what I am saying

    or as Gordon would say

    ‘I did not really mean it’”

    But it is the right thing to do (the Stasi manual says so)

    PS If you think you should not believe a word I say

    You are probably right…

    We have a vast number of voters who have yet to make up their minds that Labour boast will turn to them, but the poor dears fail to learn the decision is wether to bother to vote or not, and at the last election, 17 million made up their minds not to vote and this time 20 million or more are still undecided. What are the odds that 20 million decide to stay at home?

  5. 6

    Public services must continue to evolve, and the Government must help families to make the most of longer and healthier lives. The security of affordable, high-quality, personalised care is fundamental, and older people and those with long-term conditions should be able to retain their independence. We want to give people real choice over their care, making social care fairer, simpler and more affordable, ending the postcode lottery. We will offer free care at home for everyone with the highest needs: a stepping stone to the creation of a new National Care Service as the new frontier of a modern welfare state.

        England is suffering a massive housing crisis. There simply aren’t enough decent, affordable homes.

        More than two million people find their rent or mortgage a constant struggle or are falling behind with payments. [1]
        Against a background of mounting debt across the country, increasing numbers of homeowners are having their homes repossessed, because they are no longer able to keep up with their mortgage repayments.
        Second home ownership is pricing local people out of many rural areas.
        Over 1.7 million households are currently waiting for social housing. [2]
        Some homeless households – many with dependent children – wait for years in temporary accommodation.
        Families renting privately on low incomes have to put up with poor living conditions and little security.
        The number of new households is increasing faster than the number of house builds.
        And at the sharpest end, many hundreds of people sleep rough on the streets every night, cold and fearing for their safety.
        Shelter believes this situation is unacceptable.

          Health inequality has got worse under Labour, says government report

          Health inequality as measured by life expectancy and infant mortality has got worse since Labour came to power, a government report said today.

          Bab ies born to poor families now have a 17% higher than average chance of dying, compared to a 13% higher than average chance 10 years ago.

          And the life expectancy of people living in poverty has fallen further behind the average, particularly for women, than it was around the time of Tony Blair’s election.

          In absolute terms health is getting better. Life expectancy for all social groups is going up, and infant mortality figures are going down.

          But, according to a report published by the Department of Health called Tackling Health Inequalities, the gap between the wealthy and the poor has widened over the last decade.

      @NLP: OK, let’s assume you have a job – for the purposes of this post, we’ll take it that working as a ‘researcher’ for Labour is a job – and let’s assume you are married – sorry, you have a partner – and that you manage to get by on your earnings.

      Now, let’s suppose that your partner has a credit card and goes out and blows a stack of money on such lovely life-style things as plasma TVs, hi-fis, phones, shoes, clothes and cosmetic surgery.

      And now the bills have started to come in, and you can’t afford them. Do you really think you can go to the bank and plead with them that it was all in the best possible causes that this money was spent, and that you’d like the bank to pay off your debts, while you continue your profligate life-style without cutting anything from the spending.

      Time to get real. When you’ve spent more than you earn in a year and your mortgage is maxed out and your job may be on the line, you really, seriously have to start thinking of cutting your cloth to suit.

      The alternative is to remain in your delusional world and hope that a miracle happens (they just don’t). In any case, you, my friend, are going to be a drain on our recovery. One way or another, I can see that you are going to be one of life’s passengers, expecting everyone else to pay.

      As micturation has triumphed over explanation in this chap’s case, I will fill in the details.

      There are also Up and Down positions, which represent authoritarianist and libertarianist vectors. In combination, they create a two dimensional political graph, which enables us to distinguish for example, soft and hard positions on both the Left and the Right, and explain how extreme Right and extreme Left converge at the same point without resorting to absurdities like political hyperspace, which the MSM commenters frequently get lost in. While that might suggest hegelian analogues of the Klein Bottle, which disappears up itself, this two dimensional political space can be graphed on a piece of voting paper by asking people their views on two axes, namely how socially liberal/conservative (small l, small c) they are, and how economically liberal/conservative they are. Self-evidently two people may hold identical views on economic policy, but differ significantly in how liberal they are socially.

        As a leading egalitarian theorist, I must point out that such dialectic is needlessly divisive, and the binary nature of such arguments leaves the vitally important LGBT viewpoint underrepresented.

    My last letter to the Charlatan Gordon Brown - probably to join the sackful of others says:

    Mr Brown
    In exactly one week’s time, you will have been kicked out of Downing Street after losing the General Election with the worst share of the vote that Labour have ever registered.
    As you are driven away – unfortunately not in a police car to the nearest police station – countless millions of Britons will be cheering the end of your disgraceful period in office as the charlatan Prime Minister.
    You have wrecked our country, stolen the fabric of our society and allowed millions of people to enter what is already a very crowded island. So many of us want you to be charged with treason against the state as that is exactly what you have committed. To think that you will get away literally “Scot-free” is an appalling prospect (of course we could not escape YOUR taxes that you have wilfully heaped upon us all).
    However, what you will never be able to claim is that you were a popular man, elected to lead a party in government ,because you gained power only through an agreement with the previous incumbent, the man you have hated so much, as you seem to hate so many people in your twisted world.
    You have shown your real colours so clearly last Wednesday, with your astonishing attack on a 66 year old woman, whose only mistake was to assume you were interested in talking with her and listening to her views. But so many of us have known the real Gordon Brown for many years – just how nasty you can be to anyone who poses a threat in your bizarre, paranoid world.
    You will go down in history as the deeply troubled man who simply inveigled his way in to 10 Downing Street – an impostor, a fraud who perpetrated monstrous acts of felony against this nation – the gold sold at low prices, the raid on our pensions, the encouragement to bankers to take the risks that prompted the credit crisis and the spiteful prevention of funding for our armed forces.
    No wonder you never showed your face at Wootton Bassett when our men and women made their last journey back to our shores – you are beyond contempt.
    From next Friday onwards, at least the country can emerge from the darkness and gloom of the Brown years and begin the long journey back from the hell created by you and your thugs.

    Shame on you, Gordon Brown.

      No mention of Blair then? That just shows how ‘smart’ Blair is. For example, although he is directly responsible for the destruction of our society and education system, he shredded his expenses and escaped the opprobrium directed at the political establishment. Now he is a tax exile on an Irish passport pulling in £millions tax-free and his wife is on nice earners too, thanks to Blair’s implementing the Human Rights Act.

        The most stupid, if not the most foul mouthed, Home Secretary in British history, with a head so full of shit she contrived to pass a law which makes some cartoons illegal. Not any cartoons, merely cartoons which require for the conviction or acquittal of an accused that everyone, police, CPS, jurors, judges, entertain the same ridiculous speculation about a cartoon figure as to its precise age, state of mind, capacity for sexual enjoyment, previous relationship with other characters, and so on. A law, in other words, which relies on fantasy facts. Perhaps ms Smith was thinking fantasy football.

    Because we believe that everyone should be treated equally our Equality Act will strengthen the law to prevent unfair discrimination. The Act also places a high level duty on public bodies to consider the social and economic circumstances of those affected by their actions, because we recognise that social class is often a barrier to people realising their aspirations.

      New Labour’s big failure – things have not got better

      The proof is here, in front of me. It’s yesterday’s report, An Anatomy of Economic Inequality in the UK, by the National Equality Panel.

      It’s an indictment of pretty much everything Blair, Gordon Brown, Harriet Harman (who commissioned the study) and their colleagues stood for. If there was one thing we took away from that May dawn all those years ago it was that they would strive to rid Britain of inequality and to close the yawning, socially divisive gap between rich and poor. A year before he entered Downing Street, Blair said: “If the next Labour government has not raised the living standards of the poorest by its time in office, it will have failed.”

      Once there, he subjected us to slogan after slogan, from “Britain deserves better” in the 1997 campaign to “forward not back” for 2005. There were the ringing phrases that resonate still: “education, education, education” and “tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime”.

      Yet 13 years on, the very first sentence of this report begins: “Britain is an unequal country, more so than many other industrialised countries and more so than it was a generation ago.”

      On page after page, this thumping document explodes the New Labour myth. The “large inequality growth of the Eighties has not been reversed.” It was a movement that had — still has, if they’re to be believed — as one of its dearest tenets, the need to redistribute wealth. Today, says this study, the members of the richest 10 per cent of households will have accrued wealth of £2.2 million by the time they reach retirement; for the bottom 10 per cent, the figure is less than £8,000.

          Bollocks.

          All the predictions of a hung parliament depend on the assumption of a uniform national swing between two competing parties.

          The increase in the LibDem vote, coupled with the dramatic fall in the Labour vote to around 25%, makes the UNS model completely invalid, especially in marginals with strong support for alternative parties.

          So long as the Tories manage to poll around 35% or better, they are likely to emerge with a slender majority – about the only factor in Labour’s favour is the potential for postal vote fraud in constituencies with a significant proportion of ethnic clients of Labour, which may save them 20-30 seats that they would otherwise lose.

          Anything less than the humiliation of Labour at the polls should trigger the alarms that serious fiddling has been going on – especially in those seats where the Unmentionables are well supported by ex-Labour voters.

          • Rip Van Winkle says:

            Agreed. If the Tories can get around 36% and Libs and Labias around 25% each, the opposition vote could well be split. the Labia votes stop the Libs and the Lib vote stops the Labias.

            The pollsters have never seen anything like this. And they haven’t a clue what the outcome is likely to be.

          • ST says:

            I cautiously agree. All those techniques which project the polls are designed to two horse races i.e. a swing from x to y resulting in z.

            The splitting of the left wing vote between: Labour, Lib Dems and B&P will make for some interesting results.

            I don’t doubt the polls are correct, I just question how you can accuratly predict the outcome without doing some careful stats within each seat.

            I’d be interested to see the parties private polling data….

          • Bollocks.

            All the predictions of a hung parliament depend on the assumption that those reading the poll aren’t partisan idiots who don’t give a fuck what it says unless it shows Dave with a huge lead.

            Just because the pollsters got it right in the European Election and the Mayoral Elections using UNS doesn’t mean we will admit the obvious.

            And just because we said fuck all about UNS and had zero problem with the polls when they showed Cameron with a lead of as much as 28 points doesn’t mean we will care that it makes us look like laughable hypocrites.

            So we’ll whine like twats and look like complete pussies making it blatantly obvious we just don’t like what they’re saying and try to shoot the messenger.

    Britain’s cultural life and creative industries have flourished under Labour and now account for ten per cent of the UK economy. Labour has supported excellence in the UK’s creative industries – from film, television and video games to design, fashion, music and the arts – with transformative investment since 1997.

    Today’s culture manifesto outlines the next steps in Labour’s partnership with the creative industries.

    The manifesto includes proposals to extend broadband to every part of Britain while also tackling online piracy. It also outlines proposals for a new biennial Festival of Britain to showcase the UK’s nation’s best creative talent, as well as greater freedom for our museums and galleries, and maintaining financial support for our world-leading film and video games industry.

        Though the real impact of the current and projected cuts in arts funding will only really be felt after the prime minister steps down, they will nevertheless be associated with his period in office. It seems that every effort Tony Blair makes to establish his legacy backfires on him.

        So now we know: the valedictory tone of Tony Blair’s ‘golden age of the arts’ speech at Tate Modern in March (see Editorial AM305) was not entirely because it would be his last statement on the arts as prime minister, but also because it was the prelude to massive cuts in arts subsidies that were announced later on March 31.

      New Labour Pride – please admit yourself to the nearest psychiatric institute and when you’ve stopped staring at the wall and moaning gently to yourself for two or three months, please take the time to study basic economics and how it applies to the MASSIVE, UNSUSTAINABLE AND GROWING budget deficit built up, by Labour, from the solid financial base left by Ken Clarke in ’97.

      All Labour has done – and all Labour governments have EVER done – is tax the private, wealth and job creating private sector and piss the money up the wall like a Friday night drunk. Your mentalist mob has thrown billions away on benefit to foreign scroungers and pointless government quangos that do NOTHING but line the pockets of the unjustified and unjustifiable idiots who sit at meetings for hours and produce NOTHING but hot air. Please do us all a favour and fuck off into obscurity with “Lord” Mandelslime and his failed cohorts. Fuck you and all the damage your idiotic, antedeluvian “socialist” tinkering has done to this country. While you’re at it, fuck yourself.

      Labour Day? I know this day as Beltane, one of the four witches’ days. So the witches have laboured and brought forth the bastard socialist children.

      And yet, to stir the pot, as the mountain gives birth to the mouse, the buffoons have their story wrong. For the witches’ days they defined (themselves – identity politics, sic) originally in opposition to the long customary celebration of the solstices and equinoxes, two of which are still commemorated in metaphor as Christmas and Easter. As these are four in number, so the witches also made themselves four, but disposed them at the ‘anti-dates’ of the solstices and equinoxes, i.e. exactly half-way between. That is how it was. But with the coming of the Enlightenment, basic astronomy was forgotten in favour of crude numerology. And so the witches days were moved from the 5th or 6th of the calendrical month to the 1st – because no-one wants to be 5th or 6th when they can be 1st! – just like that – by fiat. Just like, in fact, nu liebore – the labour of buffoonery.

      When it comes to normal everyday stuff, PR would be great.

      But in times of crisis it’s a whole different ballgame.

      I’d rather have a strong but shit government than a hung/weak government/parliament.

      Brown fucked up the entire financial system and screwed the economy.

      But just imagine how bad things would have been if, at the peak of the banking crisis when the entire banking sector was about to go bust, parliament was spending weeks trying to debate ideological points and work out a solution that all parties would agree to. If that’d happened then our banking system would have gone completely under, and we’d be living in the stone age by now.

      I hate Brown with a passion, but even he understood the severity of the situation and (finally) did something to fix it. You/I might not like what he did, but if parliament had been too weak to do anything big/quickly then we would all be a hell of a lot more fucked than we are now.

      Having a permanently hung parliament would turn mild problems into absolute fucking calamities.

      A properly functioning government must be strong when it comes to crises.

      Scotland/Northern Ireland/Wales can get away with having a hung parliament because they’ve got the UK to watch over them and help out if it goes tits-up. But over here in England we’re on our own and need to be strong to survive.

      If I had a choice between a hung parliament in the uk led by cameron but chained down by the libdems and labour, or labour returning with a decent majority; i’d rather have labour returned so that they can face the fuckups they created and fix them before we enter into Greek economic territory.

      Of course I hope that doesn’t happen; I hope labour get annihilated and the tories get a healthy majority, but we’ll just have to wait and see.

    2 – He could linger in the Commons like an animated rotting corpse, to remind the country what New Labour stands for, and
    3 – If Balls is defenestrated (metaphorically, unfortunately) by Morley voters then there’s a danger that he would wash up in the Lords. Although that itself would be a compelling argument for reform of the HoL, Balls’ presence would heighten the affront caused by all of the other shallow placemen that Blair/Brown previously elevated.

    “I sat on the cream suede sofa and took out my notepad. I was a little breathless. He really is such a commanding figure…
    ‘Are you ready for me Polly?” I looked up a little startled..For a moment I didn’t know what to think..what did he mean?

    ‘Ready for me to do the interview’ he smiled. That warm, generous smile.
    ‘Quite ready’ I replied, determined to keep my composure.’Won’t you sit down?’I asked.
    To my surprise Nick Clegg sat right next to me. Our outer thighs were touching.

    “W..w..wh..when did you decide on your brilliant illegal immigrant amnesty policy?” I stammered a little. I could smell his cool aftershave and a faint undercurrent of Lynx Africa.
    ‘Oh Poly,” Nick charmed. “You didn’t come here to talk about policy, now did you? you know that would disappoint me.”

    He reached over and gently took the notebook and pencil from my hand and laid them on the coffee table. I was aware that he had drawn the curtains and the lights were low.
