Honeymoon over for Milliband ? 12 Years, 8 Months ago
|
|
After being boo-ed and jeered at the TUC conference by his paymasters (the ones who backed his campaign for the loony Labour leadership) I suspect that the honeymoon is well and truely over for Milliband

He seems to be not loony enough for the Unions ... perhaps he'll show how sane he can be by sacking A Loads of Balls (and his wife) too ?

And the way he rolls his eyes and shakes his head at Question Time, like some spoilt and pompous 6th former at a debating society, well, I'd forgive someone for punching the idiot.
Opportunistic is exactly the right word, Pru ... both he and Balls pretend that the devastated economy was nothing to do with their party.
When yesterdays figures for unemployment were announced (2.5 million) they "tut tutted" but forgot (conveniently) that almost 2.2 million of that figure were unemployed throughout the 13 years of a Labour government !
Still ... Labour supporters have very short memory (and even shorter attention span)

Selective Amnesia
They are indeed idiots with short memories.

us oldies have excellent memories and can remember when Britain had a genuine Labour government and genuine Tory government...not these two right wing entities that were led by Blair, Brown and now Cameron.
For all your talk..that is still an addition of 300,000 more unemployed.
What no-one will accept..or admit..is that the unemployed (like the poor) are with us forever. Only fantasists believe there will be more and more jobs when the opposite is going to happen.
The real test is how to deal with that.

What situation ?
We have jobs ... some wont do them .... so we have to allow foreigners to do the jobs.
QED
You really should get out more ITK.There is a huge difference between micro and macro economics
Those badly educated because schools struggle with foreigners taking over and using up resources,or those encouraged to exit the job market by the Conservative last government simply cannot compete with well trained and enthuiastic foreigners.
There are indeed plenty of jobs,but if you check it out all the jobs are still going to foreigners...even under this government you love so well
The only way over this is to leave the EU,and to regain control of our job markets.Till then we have to accept that cheaper labour will continue to prevail.
