things Labour can do to avoid armageddon

[LLETSA]

Nah, that's the apocalypse that has the four harbingers, Armageddon is the big rumble before the apocalypse.

Got to have the horses saddled up and ready though.

Don't forget the bio-hazards.

What happens to their chums under all those PFI contracts when the plug is pulled? Surely that brings a whole pyramid of subsidies and mutual back scratching tumbling down?

They WON'T be pulled cos the Tories did it first (well Mussolini did it first, but ya know what i mean)...so as they're likely to be in power next time, the farce will continue

Zachor, you missed performance related pay in relation to meeting targets, which effectively creates financial incentives to distort underlying situations. Meaning that nobody can really grasp how bad things actually are. eg Inspector Gadget blog on crime stats or the ever growing number of people that have been disabled in pursuit of full employment; PFI figures hiding government debt...

Just found out who Inspector Gadget is on another forum (ARRSE), he's a VERY consistantly good poster with a very sensible outlook on life.

They have had so many opportunities to gain ground on the Tories, but they haven't taken them. They obviously have some very shit advisors.

Aint that the truth........

It looks as though they have been really caught out by the economic meltdown as well.
10 years of being careful and responsible doesnt look like such a good idea now....
But i suppose if they had been promising to nationalise the banks in 97, things might not have gone that well either...

I'd like to add to the list:

Pull our troops out of Afghanistan and Iraq in a sensible fashion as soon as possible.
Have the US extradite Blair back to Britain to stand trial for lieing about the Iraq war.
End our one sided extradition treaty with the US or have them match their side of the bargain (I prefer the latter as that will make it easier to get Balir back and have him face the music).
Stop the attempt to force councils to build 3 million new houses all over the green belt in England.
Proper devolution with the Welsh and Northern Irish assemblies upgraded to parliaments. An English parliament and a referendum for the Cornish on the stannary.
Abolition of PFI.
Abolition of the RDAs and million of other shite QUANGOs
Referendum on Lisbon treaty.
Investigation into BAe systems corruption, cash for honours and all the other bullshit such as David Kelly etc.Those responsible banged up for it. You can add Ian Blair to that as well the lying cocksmith.

Can we have a public flogging of Prescot just to make the country feel betetr as well

That'd be a good start.

These are vote winners? The housing proposals in particular? Some are, some are irrlevant, some will be opposed by mosy people (IMO of course)

 

[TomPaine]

I think the public flogging of Prescott is . Maybe line the public up and throw shit pies at the greedy bastard.
