Default Ed Milliband?

Does anyone else find him very irritating?, I do that sometimes I turn the news over then check if the coast is clear when he's stopped talking, sad I know.

The Unions' little lapdog is all bark and no bite. It's a bit rich of him to be slagging off the government for having to make such savage cuts because of the profligacy and sheer incompetence of his party during their spend, spend, spend frivolity of 13 years. He's every bit as irritating as Brown, Blair, Darling, Harman, Mandelson and Adonis - his party has a knack of picking absolute a*seholes for the top jobs. The mute button on my TV is very handy when he's on

They'll win the next General Election then the moaning will start about what happens after will begin, all bad as each other really.. would Labour have done the student situation differently to this government considering the recession? I actually don't think they would despite their alliance with trade unions and the country is in enough debt as it is...

I was rooting for David, He's a hotty totty. Hillary and David would make a hot transatlantic couple. She still has a get out of jail free pass from the whole monica fiasco. i was hoping she'd use it on him.

The British public are stupid, but they're not stupid enough to vote Labour back in after the complete balls up they made of their time in office and especially with the Unions' chew toy in charge.

Ed > David

But still yes, a rubbish leader. Doesn't oppose the rulling opposition on enough of what they are doing. I did naively think he could offer something different when he was elected leader, perhaps a return to clause 4. But his left-wing credentials rest entirely on his association with the unions, as if that were a reason to vote for him.

The only opinion of value and I say this about myself as much as anyone else is an opinion that is unbiased.........

If a tory supporter offers an opinion about a labour leader it is obviously of no value because it is not based of fair neutral thinking........Same goes for other party suporters...........Biased opinions have no value as they do not inform or contribute constructively to a conversation

Biased opinion are just a way of making one self feel beter by having a go at something you may not like........

But biased opinions have no constructive value to a conversation of any kind.........

so you completely discount the notion that someone is "biased" towards something because they've put a lot of time and effort into learning about it, and have come to a conclusion based on the facts available?

If that's not cynical, I don't know what is.

There is no such thing as "fair, neutral thinking" since every single person on this planet has an opinion which has been shaped and influenced by their life experiences, their background, their culture etc etc, therefore every single person on this planet is BIASED by your definition and thus NO-ONE'S opinion is of any value to any debate!

Unless you are suggesting that the only opinions of any value to a discussion are those that resonate with your own?
