Brown's speech

[Balbi]

Challenge of change - new model for economy, for responsible blah blah...my labrador's just fallen asleep

 

[weltweit]

He made a good start, listing the things New Labour has achieved in its 12 years ..

It went down well.

 

[weltweit]

So if Harriet Harmon is working to exclude the BNP from national politics, why is it Straw who is going onto question time?

 

[King Biscuit Time]

Challenge of change - new model for economy, for responsible blah blah...my labrador's just fallen asleep

I think he's doing ok.

 

[weltweit]

Banking in the heart of the community through the post office.
That could be interesting.

 

[agricola]

he wants to get Post offices to help bring banking to local communities? you lying bastard.

 

[Balbi]

Yeah, he's snoring now and twitching bless him

 

[Balbi]

Schools investment promise.

 

[agricola]

this is an astonishingly deceitful speech.

 

[100% masahiko]

This speech is too standard for such a crucial time.

 

[trevhagl]

Banking in the heart of the community through the post office.
That could be interesting.

is that all the ones the fuckers closed down?

 

[agricola]

is that all the ones the fuckers closed down?

and tried to sell off...

 

[agricola]

restoring the earnings link for pensioners... good, but that will cost a fortune.

 

[Sesquipedalian]

I think he's doing ok.

Me too.

 

[agricola]

Every benefit will rise, more money, but we will keep spending down and halve the deficit...

 

[agricola]

16-17 year olds who get pregnant and who would get support / finance from the state to be placed in care homes...

 

[Fedayn]

16-17 year olds who get pregnant and who would get support / finance from the state to be placed in care homes...

What the fuck?

 

[Santino]

16-17 year olds who get pregnant and who would get support / finance from the state to be placed in care homes...

Communal accomodation with on-site support - good

Magdalene homes run by evil nuns - bad

 

[agricola]

What the fuck?

The Guardian confirm he said this:

3.06pm:

By reforming tax reliefs, free childcare will be available to poor families with children aged two, the PM says.

There's a big announcement on teenage pregnancies. Teenagers on benefits will go into some network of supervised homes.

We'll have to see the detail, but this sounds like a radical - and potentially quite draconian - policy. Even Iain Duncan Smith has not advocated this.

Now Brown's talking about families who "let their kids run riot". He says family intervention projects work.

Starting now, the 50,000 "most chaotic" families will be part of a project of this kind, with "clear rules and clear punishments" if they do not stick to them.

Now he is going on about "action squads", though the description sounded like SNT teams.

 

[Fedayn]

Communal accomodation with on-site support - good

Magdalene homes run by evil nuns - bad

What's wrong with living in their own flat with full support?

 

[Sesquipedalian]

16-17 year olds who get pregnant and who would get support / finance from the state to be placed in care homes...

Deliberate misrepresentation.

 

[Santino]

What's wrong with living in their own flat with full support?

Nothing?

 

[agricola]

No complusory ID cards for British citizens in the next Parliament.... so not getting rid of them then.

 

[agricola]

and no independence for Scotland or Wales.

 

[Balbi]

And it's tommy this and tommy that....

 

[agricola]

Deliberate misrepresentation.

bollocks it is, they dont have the money to set up a whole load of new homes so these kids will just be filtered into the existing system.

 

[agricola]

And it's tommy this and tommy that....

indeed... he owes them proper equipment

 

[skyscraper101]

No free goes on Caroline Flint

 

[lewislewis]

and no independence for Scotland or Wales.

We're "narrow nationalists", says the man speaking in front of a Union flag backdrop.

 

[agricola]

A law setting the amount of GDP to go to international development?
