Seriously Johnny - A brilliant post and yet more painstaking work full of truth and facts which will be ignored by some. :laugh: but point number 12. : "Labour lumbered the NHS with vast PFI repayments - £50 billion worth of loans which are costing £300 billion in repayments." is ONE MAIN reason WHY the NHS is in the state it is in AND why some hospitals have gone bankrupt.

Hi Kirk,
There is no getting away from the facts so i thought it best to post a few. Will people be prepared to accept those facts? Doubt it,blinkers will be on an no amount of facts will persuade them otherwise. I have more facts on the shambles that is the labour party and why everyone should stick with the brilliant David Cameron but we'd be here all day reading through them all.:joker:

Even #48? About Ed Milliband becoming PM? :shrug:. I guess that'll be in 2056 when he's running against the reincarnated robot-clone of Napoleon...

Otherwise Johnny - this is a smear-piece. It's meaningless. Focusses on the negatives of one side of the coin without balance and - notably - only bothering to contrast with the Tories once or twice in the entire 50 statements. Why is that, I wonder? Laziness? Poor research? A simple lack of contrasting positives that would make these arguments in any way valid?

Oh right. You don't know. Because you didn't write it, you just drooled over it and then hit copy-paste :joker:.

Feel The Force

[joeysteele]

There was nothing wrong with most of those ides in their original and controlled plans at their earlier implementation.

Not all I agreed with which is why I was never a labour supporter then anyway.

However the argument is defeated,for me anyway, by the fact this govt under Cameron has added extreme to extreme as to most of those ideas and plans and taken them to even far more unacceptable levels.

So for me, rather than being reasons not to vote labour, a good number of them are more like 50 reasons, to not vote Conservative for the way they have manipulated some of these previous actions to make life a misery for many and waste resources to suit their own selfish and heartless agenda.

Good post in the OP, if you realise that the extensions,the extreme and heartless extensions to such ideas have actually been done by 'this govt' not the previous govt from the much smaller and milder implementations they originally put in place, as to most of them.

A good post it is called overall, Ed Miliband is now a backbencher to deal with that rather petty point,Politics is riddled with people stabbing each other in the back.
Anyway people did not support Labour for govt under Ed Miliband, that is not now a reason with any validity whatsoever to not do so now as to that particular issue for one.
Extremely petty.

I currently have many reasons why i would not vote Labour.It's a shame that these fundamental reasons get in the way because i agree with some of Labours ideas.I also have many reasons that i would'nt vote Conservative.

I only need 3,their rotten NHS policy, their heartless and gutless welfare reforms which are actually hitting the genuine weakest,sick and disabled.
Finally the obscenity of the bedroom tax plans under the coalition govt.
Of which, I still hold the Lib Dems as equally guilty of that pathetic policy,the way they decided to enact it.

Three things I care about passionately and which this govt,has been in my view a shocking, cowardly disgrace as to.
With a leader too who became PM after bare faced lies that he told the voters as to the NHS.

Never for me,would I even ever look at the Conservatives again with any admiration as long as rotten, heartless polices like these are being done by them.

I don't need 1000,1000 policies like the 2 I have mentioned would surely be impossible 'wouldn't they'??,even from gutless heartless political con men/women like this PM and some of his cabinet.

2) The 'Bedroom Tax' was part of the Welfare Reform Act 2007 proposed by Labour.

'NOT' in the form it eventually became implemented,it was not designed to be a gross unfair financial penalty on the scale it became under the coalition govt.

Only the Conservative party, (despite every other single party elected in May last year who would all have scrapped it), are the rotten shower who have left it in place.

Ideas are ideas, plans can be put in place to bring in policies, the moderation as to those policies or severity of their effects lie with the govt in power at the time,if they stick with the policy.
This govt, created a heartless and unjust monster from the bedroom tax on a scale it would 'never' have even just been dreamed of under Labour or indeed any other party for that matter.
Even UKIP would have scrapped this obscenity.

[JoshBB]

You can find far more reasons to not vote conservative.. most of them being revolved around their complete lack of any human emotion towards the poor, their party being kept afloat by Murdoch monopolization of the press industry and funded by big business, extortionate cuts and shrinking of the state in the name of deficit reduction (while also lowering taxes for the rich).

Don't forget they constantly laugh at questions posed to David Cameron by the public instead of answering them, instead making cheap jibes at Corbyn for being left-leaning. And while we're at that, the constant labelling of Corbyn who is the LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION as a 'threat to national security', 'threat to economic stability', 'threat to british families' is becoming dangerously resembling to that of fascists in our past. Truly terrifying. They're trying to wipe out any of the main opposition parties - Labour are a threat to national security, the SNP are a threat to our union.. you can't make this stuff up.

They also evidently don't give a **** about the young people, and when I'm old enough to vote I won't forget that.

This government did not bring in the bedroom tax as i pointed out earlier. You can choose to ignore that fact by all means but it still does not change the fact that this bedroom tax was introduced by the labour party.

Do you ever listen to anyone else at all?
It was a Labour plan but no way on the scale it became under this govt.
If all you are going to do is waste peoples time then waste someone elses not mine.

This govt kept on the idea of this bedroom tax after Labour left power in 2010 and then grossly expanded it to what it became, an unfair and way too high crippling financial burden on people who could not afford it, and who had nowhere else to go because there were not the downsized properties available for them to go to.

This govt,both under the coalition and still now, no other govt.
Anyone can have ideas and plans, what others do with those ideas and plans is what we judge them on and the Conservatives are alone in their zeal for this infernal policy as it is in place now, no one else.

So a policy brought in by the labour party (which you have admitted) is all the conservatives fault?:shrug:

[joeysteele]

So a policy brought in by the labour party (which you have admitted) is all the conservatives fault?:shrug:

No, because the Labour plan was far weaker than what it ended being transformed into on implementation under the Conservatives.

So yes,the fault of 'how' it was enacted is the Conservatives fault no one elses.
It wasn't actually in place under Labour by May 2010.

Anyway,we have well and truly exhausted this one and since you know it all anyway, no point in me saying anymore to you is there since you choose not to listen.
I will debate with anyone but not to end up just wasting my time and energy.
No point at all in that.

johnnyuk123, you also forgot, how Labour run councils used the race card to let over a thousand white girls be sexually abused, and forced the police to try and arrest their parents who tried to protect their children, and how Mr bean or should I say Gorden Brown who sold off are gold at a silly cheap price, and how they treat their loyal voters, like village idiots, when they called one loyal lady supporter a bigot, unfortunately the majority of people in this country have a memory of a sieve, and don't remember these things.

You can find far more reasons to not vote conservative.. most of them being revolved around their complete lack of any human emotion towards the poor, their party being kept afloat by Murdoch monopolization of the press industry and funded by big business, extortionate cuts and shrinking of the state in the name of deficit reduction (while also lowering taxes for the rich).

Don't forget they constantly laugh at questions posed to David Cameron by the public instead of answering them, instead making cheap jibes at Corbyn for being left-leaning. And while we're at that, the constant labelling of Corbyn who is the LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION as a 'threat to national security', 'threat to economic stability', 'threat to british families' is becoming dangerously resembling to that of fascists in our past. Truly terrifying. They're trying to wipe out any of the main opposition parties - Labour are a threat to national security, the SNP are a threat to our union.. you can't make this stuff up.

They also evidently don't give a **** about the young people, and when I'm old enough to vote I won't forget that.

I half agree the tories probably on the whole don't give a stuff about the poor..but do labour really? you see to get out of poverty you need jobs, opportunities, aspirations, you need to get off benefits, you need motivation, you need a strong economy....new labour failed in that department...the local government grew, the debts mounted, unemployment rose, we got so strangled with political correctness that it became a human right to breed for benefits and let the hard working tax payer pay the bills....basically we went bust....new labour did less than nothing for the poor areas, less than nothing for industries, less than nothing for the spiralling energy bills, bt , taking state ownership of public utilities? new labour allowed the housing bubble, they bailed the banks....they were a disgrace

so all im saying is they were probably even worse than the tories and the tories are awful
