[LU] do you wish to rephrase this
Rog, With Keith O'Brien having his name in the news do you think it is appropriate for a recognised ( and proud) left footer to use the word "closet" today? Had he been one of Sean Brady's flock then this would have remained in the closet. I will say one thing to Keith's credit. He was interfering with his own instead of predicating on kids. This means that Great Britain will not have any say whatsoever in selecting a new Pope. Im not sure Il get over that one.As an advocate of a secular state I believe it has nothing to do with the state anyway and as a committed atheist ( and proud) I actually don't give a toss either. And Baroness Thatcher to you mate is alive and well. I for one will be demanding a state funeral when she does depart. Having revitalised a stagnating economy, smashed the evil of trade unionism made individualism acceptable again and increased all our personal fortunes she is one the greatest ever Britons. I was an advocate from the very day that the tax rate was cut from 60 percent to 40. Bought my vote. Is Billy Bragg still alive ? Dennis Skinner ? Peter Tatchell ? Anyway, I hope all the Papists vote for Eric Cantona. What happened to Verner one of the few free thinking radicals of yore.

Re: [LU] do you wish to rephrase this
It was Billy Beveridge and "Aneurysm" Bevan and the welfare state loonies who created the self perpetuating tribes of unemployable and "sink estates" It was his Tonyness who told them that it was not their fault that the benefits trap existed. Beveridge claimed there were five giant evils. Want, Disease, Ignorance, Idleness and filth. To solve this they crated two more evils, welfare and the NHS whereby the Idle and ignorant wanted for nothing, had their ills cured and free new housing with fridges and colour telly. The Belgrano was a necessity. It had been inside the exclusion zone and they were taking the piss. I thought the exclusion zone was a mistake, anything argentine on the planet should have been in our sights. Next time, and the looks increasingly likely, we need to be a little more circumspect, think about it and then bomb Buenos Aries. They are having a referendum in the Falklands in March and you can guarantee that the Argentines will will still refer to the inhabitants as colonialists when they vote to remain British. John Kerry and Obama can play all the games they want. Those islands are British, will remain British and we are not relinquishing territorial waters either. There were British people living there are farming Seals and Penguins and mining whale oil before Argnetina was born. Nobody lived there when awe claimed it. How can we be colonials ? Its ours. Im not eating Frey Bentos, going near a Gaucho Grill or drinking Malbec until this is sorted out. Cristina Kirchner is just a red headed bitch and she needs slapping. Hector Timerman is just a slap head who needs a slap. Why do they both have German names ?

Re: [LU] do you wish to rephrase this
employment - less that 90% employment rate, surely the worst figures in post-reformation English history apart from a brief period of Stanley Baldwin national debt - wasn't it the fastest rate of increase of national debt in peacetime until the Falklands came along and allowed the scale to become "wartime"? europe - maastricht treaty?? crime - biggest, unremitting, unrelenting increases in crime that the UK has ever seen, moderated by Major, reversed by Blair ??? Being invaded - Didn't she join Chamberlain as the only British leaders since King Harold to have British territory invaded? At least Chamberlain's invaders were Germans and not some tin pot South American dictatorship ?? Share ownership - are we talking of the massive transfer of wealth from the poor (buggers) who bought BT and British Gas shares then regretted it ever since, to the rich ?? Home ownership - ditto ? Standard of living - Is this about making sure that every home had a Japanese telly whilst at the same time making sure that nobody normal had access to or could afford decent, fresh, unadulterated food ?

Re: [LU] do you wish to rephrase this
Jesus H ! You accuse me of revisionism ! The question put to the plebiscite in 1975 was Do you think the UK should stay in the European Community (Common Market)? This was supported by the Conservative Party ( in opposition) and the communists in government, except for Mickey Foot and Lord Tony Benn and the trade unionists. Two thirds of people voted "oui" What we were not asked about was The European Parliament 1979 The Council of the European Union 1993 The European Commission (the one that needs the treaty of Lisbon to ensure we all think European) The Court of Justice of the European Union 1952 The European Court of Human Rights 1959 The Court of Auditors 1975 (the ones who "audit the books") Nor have we had a chance to consider the effects of: The Schengen Treaty 1985 (the one that allows eastern European Sputnik types fee rein in Europe) The Single European Act 1987 ( evision of the treaty of Rome supposed to provide a single market) The Maastricht Treaty 1993 (this was not just about the Euro, oh no, Common Foreign and Security policy, Then European Court of Justice sneaking in too) The Amsterdam Treaty 1992 (changes to Maastricht) The Treaty of Nice 2001, made changes to Maastricht and the Treaty of Rome 1958, the one that we did know about in 1975 The Lisbon Treaty 2009 more changes to Maastricht…the one that gives its a constitution for Europe. The common market no longer exists and we never had a chance to vote on the European Union ( they dropped the economic bit from the name as it is anything other than economic and now controls most of your lives) And you call this a "logical progression" …..???

Re: [LU] do you wish to rephrase this
Typical Tory boy attitude, poor people have no pride, poor people don't have a work ethic. Just because some rich money grabbing capitalist refuses to pay his staff a living wage doesn't mean the staff have no pride in what they do. Do the hard working Bullingdon club keep the streets clean? Are they up before sunrise baking your bread, delivering your milk or emptying your bins? Or do we leave that to the 'prideless' poor? Does this prideless poor fail to deliver on time, produce an inferior product or blame the guy who was doing the job 2 years ago? No they don't but they can carry the can for the capitalist f'ing up - again.

Re: [LU] do you wish to rephrase this
Another missive littered with assumptions and pure conjecture 1. I dont vote. Never have and never will. I guess that makes me a "Tory Boy" 2.

I dont vote because I have never had a suitable candidate to vote for. Consider it an abstention. However I have attended hustings.

The only billions that were truly squandered were the billions spent propping up the fraudulent banks, which in a true capitalist world should have been allowed to collapse and the current lot are still doing it - The deficit myth is the grossest lie ever enforced upon the people and it has been sold by exploiting people's economic illiteracy. > The poor have passports, they go on lots of foregn holidays Do they?

Re: [LU] [Non-LU] do you wish to rephrase this
This politics malarkey is all a load of bollocks, from the hopeless local councillor to the MPs, they are only in for career progression and to look after their own interests. Is it any wonder there is voter apathy Take the recent vote on equal marriage, my local MP is down on record as saying he voted using his own ideals and opinions rather than that of his constituency, the views were different. He was elected by the people but is not representative, I certainly won't be voting for him next time now that his integrity is fucked. How many others did the same thing? How often is this standpoint echoed across other votes in the commons? Whilst billions were squandered propping up the banks, labour managed to create the most complex welfare system ever devised that just didn't work. Tax credits fiasco anyone, if I remember correctly it overpaid by well over a billion? Yes it is nice that folk should get the basics to live on but to give them a better standard of living than some of those paying tax is just outrageous. As for the 'poor people going on holidays', yes that does happen. We had to move a Court case because the defendant couldn't turn up as it was their annual pilgrimage to Florida. They had a couple of grand in outstanding fines and were on benefits. Then there is the shoplifter who can't afford food but is a benefit claimant on a 30 a day habit. These aren't isolated cases they are fairly representative across the whole country. Politics, I would rather get a blowjob from a rabid bull terrier.

Re: [LU] [Non-LU] do you wish to rephrase this
? Didn't the tax credits policy lift more that a million children out of poverty? I think that the policy did exactly what it said on the tin and I can't think of any other "welfare" or "redistibution" or "liberal" policy (choose you local flavour) that was so successful since the introduction of old age pensions in the early 20th Century. While two wrongs don't make a right, it is temting to think that a billion overpayment given the results of that policy is cheap at several hundred times the price when compared to the banking bailout.

Re: [LU] [Non-LU] do you wish to rephrase this
Whilst the policy did indeed lift a lot of people out of debt, the administration of it was a nightmare, it was this I was alluding to. A well meaning policy but was over bureaucratic in terms of applying, based upon previous declared earnings and projected earnings that could be manipulated, hence overpayments that were written off by HMRC. The claiming back of some overpayments meant that some people (who made an honest mistake) suddenly found that they had less money than before. Some had debt collection agencies knocking on the door several years later seeking monies for repayment. On 27 Feb 2013, at 21:23, "Damian Walsh" wrote: > ?

But actually most Politicians and most magistrates do it for a sense of public duty and do their best, many of them are wrongheaded but at least they try and contribute, rather than sit on their hairy arses and moan. Anyway, if "Politics" has failed what's your suggestion for a replacement. From where I sit (on my hairy arse) we are a lot better off with our imperfect but accountable political and justice system than those living in dictatorships like China or Saudi Arabia. ___ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org MARCHING ON TOGETHER
Re: [LU] [Non-LU] do you wish to rephrase this WARNING NONLU POLITICS!
I know you were only being devils advocate but to be fair I think that there are a lot magistrates that are exactly as you described Nosey? Actually knowing what goes on in your own community is a real eye opener. I know where my car is likely to get broken into, which houses have search warrants issued against them, who is beating their wife/kids, etc, but more often than not I can feel quite relieved that no matter how bad things can be at least my life is better organised than some of the poor fuckers out there. Alas, there isn't the opportunity to 'rig' things for friends and family, there is a stumbling block called perverting the course of justice ;o) It is a little unfair to compare them to the local councillors and MPs though as the MPs get a very healthy salary and other perks to distill the views of their community to the commons, similarly the local councillors get a nice allowance and better than average expenses to allow them to attend meetings. I on the other hand get mileage allowance (6 mile round trip) and £7.45 for my lunch and nothing for giving my time (but I don't think it should change) I doubt many MPs would have such a sense of public duty if the remuneration package was cut in half.
