Diane Abbott.

No matter what your politics are or what you think of the present Tory Government can you imagine this woman as our Home Secretary? Her latest comment is that she is advocating lowering the age that you can vote to 16. Her reasoning; if you are old enough to fight for your country, you are old enough to vote. Doesn't the silly woman know that you may be old enough to join the forces at 16 but not allowed to be involved in combat until the age of 18. This, from the shadow Home Secretary. God help us!

The Tory Party always gets labelled the "Nasty party" and although I feel it's an unfair tag they do have some loathsome individuals on board.

But this so called Labour Party really is a hideous creation.

It's a Marxist/Trotsky party masquerading under the banner of what used to be a party of decent values.

I can understand the appeal of a true Labour calling but I'm incredulous as to how any sane adult cannot see what a bunch of loons and rabid nutters have taken over their Party.

I have voted for Labour under Kinnock and Blair ( on more than one occaission ) because I liked their centre left policies but this lot are wolves in sheeps clothing and I shudder at the thought of five years of Marxism and what it could do to our country.

Boy.....do we need a forward thinking moderate genius to spring up from somewhere but I don't see one in any Party.







It certainly ain't Dianne.

To be honest, the most reprehensible MPs belong to the Tories. Soulman's piece on Philip Hammond is a good starting point. Google how many have funds stashed away in offshore accounts, to avoid paying UK Tax most probably.

Then there's Boris Johnson who got sacked as a journalist for lying, who has had paid off a Govt researcher for doing God knows what. Michael Fallon who has already resigned. Damian Johnson who should resign. Jacob Rees-Mogg who criticised pregnant rape victims who had an abortion. Don't even get me started on the biggest idiot in parliament Michael Gove. Or the so called #Torysleaze36

Ultimately, this government is leading us down the garden path. They care more about their expenses than the general publics welfare.

The big problem I see is the poor and weak opposition, of which Dianne Abbott is a part of. I agree with Talksaft, if the Lib Dems use this opportunity there could be a major shift towards a centre party.

You're quite correct 123, the country is crying out for a new centre party. However, not the Lib. Dems. So many of us are not to the far right or the far left but where we find this new party from is another matter. That leaves us with the problem that we face at this moment in time and as far as I am concerned that means backing the Tories. I accept others have different views but the the thought of a Corbyn led far left government scares me to death.

I really don't get why he is disliked so much. How much he is worth is probably less than David Cameron. The problem is we don't know how much Cameron is worth because his cash is stashed away in off shore tax havens.

As for his record in government, his monumental mistake was the Iraq war, a war that was pushed by him of course, but voted through by parliament including those on the Tory benches. It was also an agenda pursued by media, the same media outlets who are ruining him for it today.

As for what his administration achieved, have a read of this...

I don't see how many can argue with it,
42000 more teachers
44000 more doctors
89000 more nurses
He tripled the NHS budget during his time in power.

They revolutionised the NHS, waiting times went down to their lowest ever levels and educational and health standards were improved. You could point to the fact they left a deficit but this was against a back drop of the global recession which no one could have predicted.

This is exactly the sort of party we could do with now, they weren't hard left but centre left.
