Wrong, on just about everything...

...the 'left' and the Labour Party in particular....
It used to be the case where it was only the big high profile issues on which the left were demonstrably wrong but it is most certainly true on all the small things as well. Small things need not be unimportant either....
Take the 'left wing firebrand' Diane Abbot, she who sent her children to private school having wanted to deny the privilege to everyone else. She has now admitted the 'left' were wrong in their social policies that undermined the family. It is the left's idiotic social engineering going right back to the 60's that have left this country in such a sorry state. She has also now spoken out in favour of school uniforms!!! Something else that was undermined by foolish left wing theories over many years.
The left really are utterly despicable.
In government they wreck the economy with their insane spend, spend, spend policies funded by excessive borrowing and suicidally high taxation. They undermine the work ethic, taking money off hard working people and giving it to others to sit on their fat backsides.
They wreck the social fabric of the country, in and out of government, with their warped and perverted undermining of the family.
They steal our very country and give it to anyone who wants to come here with their open door immigration policies.
They do all they can to help foreign murderers, rapists and terrorists to stay here with their insane Human Rights Act.
They destroy education with their perverted theories of 'equality' - prizes for all....
They even hate our very history and all that made Britain great.
They condemn the British people to a second rate health system - by promoting the myth and god-like status of the NHS.
Yes - on everything the left are wrong. Stupid, foolish, naive and most certainly ignorant. That is the left for you and the Labour Party in particular.
- Barry, I wish you would stop beating about the bush and get to the point. :devil:
- You know me Peter - I really am a bit slow in coming forward!!!
- Really - you are not even polite enough to
a) quote her correctly - she actually said it was feminism that was wrong
b) you fail to quote sources yet persistently damn & berate others when they do the same
c) your accusations are xenophobic in parts and not backed by any hard evidence, in fact they sound like the fantastical ravings of the Daily Mail
d) you chose to ignore responsibility for the actions and resultant consequences of Conservative governments and corporations particularly in terms of socio-economic impacts.
e) you ignore the disastrous tertiary education policies of the early 80s that ultimately lead to the demise of decent technical and vocationally oriented courses at level 4
f) You ignore the fact that the vast majority of the left agree that both the welfare system and NHS need reforming. You appear to do so because they do not agree with your preferred solution
g) It is interesting to note that somewhere in the region of £16bn in welfare payments is unclaimed every year - significantly in excess of the amount the government is trying to prune the welfare budget by - yet they continue to target cuts that would impact in most cases the worst off - more of a rant than a blog barry.
- Coming forward?
I see no sign of 'forward'; be it thinking or movement, no drive, no impetus in any of the above.
Visiting this page is perhaps akin to visiting the big cat house at some third rate zoo.
The signs read Lion, Tiger, Leopard and the like, the odd section of bark is missing from a tree here and there. Tufts of exotic fur can be seen snagged upon the inner fence. From time to time growling sounds can be heard, but it is a test of the imagination to paint the royal families of jungle and plain onto the scene. Certainly such creatures as one had hoped to see are there, or thereabouts, for there is spoor all over the shop, and some of it quite fresh.
There again, I may be too generous. For the recollection that fits the present scene is one of The Junk-yard Dog. Now there is a creature that seldom disappoints. One only has to appear upon the track outwith the fence, or maybe give the iron railing but one tap, for a cacophony of cruelty to start up. In but a moment or two one can be only inches away from the slavering, snarling jaws of peril's promise. - I think this latest blog by Barry is more to do with wishful thinking, in terms of Conservative policy, rather than how things really are. It's fantasy Conservatism. The Conservative party do not have any grand vision, no coherent social or economic policies and are doing what the current labour party are doing which is to occasionally come out with dog whistle ideas aimed to fill up the front pages for a day.
It's policy on hold but it's been on hold ever since Cameron was elected leader of the party in fact a long time before that but manifestly worse since his rise to leader.
While it's true to say that labour are utterly useless on every front there is no credible alternative from either the Conservatives or the liberals.
When the history books are written about the state of the parties during this period I suspect writers will boil down the elements and call this a period in British history where touchy, feely, environmentally aware policies replaced sensible, common sense and ultimately grown-up politics.
They will also mark the economic demise of the UK when the climate change act was enacted. - Philip - the blog is nothing to do with the Conservative Party - its is all to do with the nut-jobs of the left of whatever political party they belong to. Some even infect the Conservative Party.
Ross - She has been widely reported so I did not see a need to provide a source or indeed to provide a direct quote. Correct she did quote feminism, a creed only too often captured by the left.
As for xenephobic - the same old tactics used by the left to cover their inadequacies, make accusations of xenephobia and refer to the Mail. I am surprised that you did not try that other old and discredited tactic of the left to close down conversation and claim rascism.
I have always said that one of the big failures of Mrs T's time was in not wresting the education establishment away from the left and their mad theories. - Ross, you write:
"your accusations are xenophobic in parts and not backed by any hard evidence,"
in this case, Barry's comments are backed by hard evidence and are not xenophobic.
People who have never set foot in the UK have the right to come and live here and gain British citizenship within, I think, 5 years. I think it must be many hundreds of millions of people who have this right.
Is it just me, or is everything in the Universe really square, as your phrase seems to imply?
