They had a rather bad dancer last year while playing ABBA.

Don't think she's booked for this conference sadly though.

No.
He was never my choice of leader and still isn't.

However I support his policies.

I actually support the Party that's all, and as to the social policies, I support it proudly too.
Too many vulnerable people, sick and disabled, have been made to suffer unnecessarily under this vile government for too long.

No matter the jibes, sarcasm and fiction from the press, Labour has my full support.

Yes there were sick and disabled under Labour.

.Labour increased cold weather payments to £25 from £8+ the Cons had it at.

Labour brought in the winter fuel allowance.

Labour brought in the less than ideal pension credit but it was still something that helped the poorest pensioners.

Labour never froze benefit increases.

Labour brought in the minimum wage despite the Cons voting against it every step of the way.

Labour were wrong to bring in ATOS to carry out assessments of the sick and disabled but never put the humiliating, degrading testing criteria that the coalition did.

Where people with terminal cancer having to fight for benefits wrongly stopped, having to fight for months, then forced to be wheeled into court, then winning their case.
Too late for some of them.

The Labour Party never had the United Nations stating that as a government they'd acted against the human rights of the sick and disabled.

That adds up to a government being vile in my book.
Had Labour done that I'd have said they were vile too.

It's a disgrace.
I've been part of representing cases for people with motor neurone disease, having their benefit's stopped because they didn't go to an assessments centre, and the assessors wouldn't do a home assessment.

So to Parmnion too, don't call me a hypocrite.
Biased against the heartlessness and cruelty of this government I may proudly be, but I'm no hypocrite.

Frankly anyone who supports any government discriminating against people sick and disabled as this one has since 2011, astound me.

The first five examples patronise all the sick and disabled people I know....so I stopped reading.

The truth hurts you then.

All that extra finance has helped hundreds of thousands of sick and disabled.
Poorest and pensioners.
Maybe you don't care about that but the vast majority of them do.

Nothing has been added to it by this lot.
In fact they've taken money off the sick and disabled.

Anyway fine, dismiss my post.
You're just a waste of my time.
Very sadly.

Fair enough...but to call this government vile, as a staunch supporter of the labour party..makes you as big a hypocrite as the rest of the sorry mob on telly this week.
