		<description>Why was Mc Bride allowed to resign instead of being sacked?
It probably allows him to keep a pension!</description>

Oh, Lordy! What a surprise.

Geoff, what a Hoon!

If this is so above board and &#039;honest&#039; (in a New Politics spin sort of way), why don&#039;t politicians come out during the election and say, &quot;Look you lot, I&#039;ve promised you loads of stuff if you elect me, you know, &#039;ospitals &#039;n schools, all sorts of extra stuff. Now all those goodies are going to cost you, ooh, lets see, about £70,000 per year for the next five years. Now, run along and stick your x next to my name.&quot;</description>

		<description>I am always intrigued by stupidity. Why is the Labour Party in power that stupid? Releasing lies and innuendo about other people always leads to other people&#039;s disgust. It never works in the long term.
I think the reason must be that they honestly think that progress depends on the good guys (that&#039;s them) telling the bad guys (Tories) or people who are too thick to know better (the proles) what is good and what is bad.
And, if you believe, like Stalin, Mussolini, Hitler, Woodrow Wilson or Oswald Moseley that you really do know best, then, surely, it is justified to launch into personal attacks.
After all, the bad guys are the bad guys and that is what you would expect.

So my question is this: have we nearly seen the very last of the Labour Party and socialism in UK? 
I do hope so.</description>

		<description>A completely bankrupt government - morally and financially. They know they are now done for - they know they have made an even bigger mess than the Labour party of the late 1970s.

They are now truly beneath contempt. Brown came into power promising an end to spin! I never thought I&#039;d find myself thinking &#039;bring back Blair&#039; but Brown has achieved that much.

They are now, surely, unable to be taken seriously - even by the BBC. While the country falls apart around them, they sit and plot and dream up lies to spin about their opponents because they know they cannot go to the country on their record!

What is to become of us. Those of us that are older are fearful for our pensions and the prospect of working until we are put into a box - but what is to become of young people. Saddled with debts taken on in our name by a feckless and USELESS government.</description>

		<description>Liam Byrne&#039;s attempts to downplay this story are quite pathetic. He repeated ad nauseam that Draper and McBride had decided that it was inappropriate to publish these fabrications. In other words they are the good guys and Guido is the bad guy. Pathetic. That&#039;s a little bit like a drunk driver having run over a pedestrian on the pavement  claiming that the pedestrian had no right to be there! The exchanges between these two horrible individuals clearly show that they wished to develop a strategy to smear the Tories. Labour have hugely impoverished the political process with their addiction to spin. Byrne&#039;s explanation this on the news this morning was a classic example of this. Blair and Brown have debased politics to the level of reality television. Civil servants are employed to enact the policies of the government. They are paid by the taxpayer and should not be indulging in this type of activity. If any of the Labour Cabinet were in the private sector they would have been sacked a long while ago. It&#039;s time for a change of government. It&#039;s also time for a radical change in the way Government conducts its business and spends our taxes.</description>

		<description>Wasn&#039;t this the reason Mandelson was recalled to the fold, get the dirt rolling.  I suspect that this whole thing originated  from the evil duo, Brown and Mandy, their fingerprints are all over it.

Having said which, it is past time for the conservative party, if it wants the top job, to stand up and be counted.  You, Mr. Redwood seem to know your way around, maybe due to your business training, but I am not so confident of the party or it&#039;s central office.  Too much is missing from the information coming from there.

		<description>Quote from the Devil: &quot;From all of the recent scandals, we know that, individually, the Tory MPs are just as corrupt as Labour: it will be interesting to see whether Tory policy will be so blantantly up for auction in the way that NuLabour policy was.&quot;

We have known for about eleven and a bit years that Labour was as corrupt as a nine bob note, (For John Redwoods younger readers, ten shillings was half a pound, like fifty pence but worth about twenty times more than 50p, you never ever saw a nine bob note).

But the conservatives have sat on their hands for a whole decade and allowed the Labour party to make the Tory party THE story.

That was either gross incompetence or they were colluding in a project to hoodwink the population. A corrupt &#039;you scratch my back and I&#039;ll scratch your back, when it comes to claiming your second home allowance and exploiting your expense account&#039;, sort of thing.

My response? A pox of the most virulent kind on both your houses!</description>

		<description>This appears to be what real politics is about, the people in charge have no morals, they are simply power mad control freaks who will do whatever it takes to push aside often better peers  and &#039;win&#039;.

This has probably always gone on, though hidden by a controlled Media machine.

Britain and the world loses something Precious if we do not Get some honour, Integrity, decency and intelligence back, not just into Parliament but into British Society. 

Until very recently, Great Britain was the envy of the world, we are being dragged down and backwards.

With regards to Labour not understanding technology, this is yet another fear, not only do I feel that ID cards, Microchipping people and tracking cars is wrong, I wonder if they have considered that it is common for around a 1% failure rate on all electronic technology, does this mean that on any one day hundreds of thousands of people will be unable to travel to work because their Car GPS auto Toll system has failed, or their ID card wont allow them to buy Groceries, or they have to go back into the doctors because their ID implant has failed, or broken .
Have these deranged psychpoathic control freaks ever stopped to consider that this WILL Happen without any doubt whatsoever.

I can say with some confidence as an enginner that when dreaming up these schemes is the easy bit, the difficult bit is trying to work out how you are going to ensure the system will still function WHEN bits of it fail because Fail it will, yet no one seems to be thinking of this, it is like they are Intoxicated with the Power they will soon have over the Masses,
 At last, after decades of Plotting and scribbling notes in their copy of Orwell&#039;s 1984.

Currently only one in 58 police officers is on the street at any one time, we have spent Billions on ID schemes, car tracking schemes.

A well trained intelligence officer is a far far better option than a piece of plastic and a gps system, especially as it seems that these systems will be &#039;policed&#039; by a new army of civil servants.

I&#039;m not medically qualified but I tell you I believe these people are deranged. 
They truly are not well, and they represent a danger to us and themselves and perhaps the world.</description>

		<description>Labour is not sorry for what it has done - just that it has been found out. Hence they spin the story that it is those dreadful bloggers who are the real problem and the way they came about this scurrilous plan. They will receive a sympathetic ear in parts of the media who see their own role and influence being diminished by blogs and bloggers. Don&#039;t expect a change in Labour behaviour - just a change in approach.</description>

		<description>Mr Redwood
I lost my job years ago in the public service due to the lies made about me on an anonymous blog website by people believed to be linked with NewLabour, who had forwarded these lies to my employers and all the newspapers. This sent everyone into a huge panic and I resigned not out of guilt but from embarassmnet and the enormous pressure this put me under to just disappear. Thankfully I&#039;ve been able to rebuild my life since then, although those who made the lies have remained undetected although only one name has come up time and time again.
To find that this behaviour happens even at Downing street level does not surprise me. It seems these people have little respect for the truth, nor do they value decency. It&#039;s all a greedy warped desire for power at any cost. This indecent behaviour needs to stop.
regards

		<description>Very tawdry practice. This contamination of the state function was evident in the recent incidents relating to Quick (formerly of the Yard), the Tomlinson incident and now this. The next government, and any future governments of whatever persuasion, must make sure that these boundaries are never overstepped again. The police, the civil service and other public employees must remain independent. This latest act degrades government and those who are supposed to serve it. No wonder the electorate don&#039;t want to vote - sleaze and self-interest abound on all fronts at the moment. This goes to the very heart of Labour and it is time Brown and his ilk, carried the can. The General Election cannot come too soon.</description>
