GENERAL ELECTION: New Labour’s manifesto mash-up
It won’t bother enough (or indeed many at all) to make any difference whatsoever but one of the chapters in the New Labour manifesto for the 2010 General Election is entitled ‘Crime and immigration’. They put crime and immigration under the same heading. Like love and marriage.How do we hate them? Let me count the ways.
How about refugees having their doors kicked in at dawn, made to dress and use the toilet in front of Home Office officials, thrown into caged vans, possibly in handcuffs? Then there’s the dentention facilities ‘built to prison standards‘ and visited by the Chief Inspector of Prisons.
The other night Gordon Brown was talking again about ‘justice, fairness and dignity for all‘. That’s a defintion of ‘all’ I’ve never seen before. He never shuts up about the values he was given by his parents, basking in their reflected glory. Either he’s betrayed those values or his parents were scum. Brown said in 2007 that they taught him ‘the importance of integrity and decency, treating people fairly‘ so I think we can safely say which.
Still debating whether to register to vote, just tempted not to when I read things like this.

One response to GENERAL ELECTION: New Labour’s manifesto mash-up
As much as I think all politicians are pathological liars. I do think everyone who has a right to vote, should. I even think people who don’t agree with me should still vote whichever way they choose. Now choosing which liar to vote for is the BIG question.
