the miners strike.Here we go again.
Mind you, I don’t think that vile Sturgeon bint’s forgiven the English for chopping up Scottish “Hero” William Wallace (even though it was the Scots who handed him over).
I’m not bothering voting, aslong as Labour or the Greens don’t get in, I’m happy.Your not voting could get them in, while your vote could keep them out!
I doubt it mate, I live in Witney.
OVLOV JAY:
I listen to mostly talk radio at work, got lbc on now. The worst thing during an election campaign is hearing idiots on the radio, who can’t be trusted to cross the road alone, saying “I’m a xyz party voter man and boy, 3rd generation, but hate what they stand for” vote for someone else then you mug! Makes me want to headbutt the steering wheel
this is exactly my point the north east will be labour until the labour party is no more, most don’t understand the implications its just generations of me dad worked in pit and Maggie shafted him mentality. or me dad worked in ship yards and Maggie shafted him etc. etc.
what they fail to tell their offspring is that dad was happy to strike when freds son didn’t get a job because fred had worked at the place and they had the nerve to give it to the best candidate 
or we walked out as the water machine broke in summer and we couldn’t possibly accept the management offer of fridges of bottled water being put in as a temp replacement.
Not voting and never have I live in an area where my vote makes no difference as to who runs the country and people here tend to vote along religious lines rather than who can do the best the job and secondly if you were buying a car and you knew the salesman was lying you wouldn’t buy the car so why endorse blatant liars to run the country. Eventually the turn out levels will become so low that there will have to be a change to the electoral system and hopefully then a more democratic system may be put on place but as this will increase the chances of career politicians losing their jobs I wouldn’t I place to high a bet on it
Any of these parties going to discuss crime and violent nutters walking the streets? Not heard crime being discussed yet.

Didn’t you know crime is not an issue as the statistics show that crime is on the decrease. Although I am not sure where exactly as the local and national news and news papers still find plenty to report.
Just another example of politicians living in cloud cukoo land and if something is not imapcting on their fairy land environment then it can’t possibly be happening.

He reminds me of wallace, of wallace and gromit fame, with hair of course, in which case, maybe it’s wendolene
Listening to the election debate on the TV etc is like reading through the sales brochure for an Austin Montego 
Makes a load of promises it can’t deliver and when it does turn up is truly shocking, doesn’t last long and leaves a bitter taste in the mouth
To SteveBarnsleyTrucker, no disrespect mate but O Dear.
Maggie and the pits was nearly thirty years ago!
It’s 2015!! Let it go.
The typical Northern/Welshy thing (I’m from Welsh stock myself) is
“Aye well my dad voted Labour, his dad voted Labour, so did his dad so I will too…”
“I can’t forgive Maggie for what she did…”
Maggie’s dead. The pits are long closed. Let it go.
And honestly, did you really think that Ed bloody Balls and Harriet Harperson have YOUR best interests at heart? The great stalwarts of the movement are long gone, replaced by multi millionaire, privately educated career politicians, many of whom have never set foot on a council estate. No different to the Tories really. People Like Dennis Skinner are in a tiny minority.
The trouble is I live on an estate where people blindly vote Labour every election because they always have and it’s madness.
What they and people in ex pit towns should do is vote for the party who (in theory) will best represent them NOW not how they might have thirty years ago.
Labour folded the labour market with immigrants who were prepared to be paid a low wage which pushed the average working class wage down, but Labour voters can’t see this.
I’m for UKIP.
Why wouldn’t a Labour voter want any of that??
Spot on Blairs labour shafted the working class as much as Thatcher.
ukip for me all the way
torys have got nothing but more of the same ok
labour are worse than the torys i was one a labour man in the days labour really did stand for working people but now its just another form of torys
i like some of what the green party stands for except there take on immigration, the snp makes a lot of good noise to but still a bit political correct on immigration.
only ukip will give me a vote on what i want to see, they have tory ideas on things i dont agree with but on the whole they offer a real good kick up the backside and will make life hard for the rest.
the ukip leader is simply the best for me he speaks honestly without fear of upsetting anyone, he might need there votes but he stands up for what he believes in so i respect that as its a hard thing to do is to be different like he is
i hope he really does well as he deserve it and it will show if nothing else just how much this country really is divided on immigration alone. depends on were you live and how badly your affected by it some areas its not a problem and others its a huge problem
but those who live in areas where its no problem seem to think its like that all over the rest of the country and its not
so ukip for me all the way
To be honest, I have a deep distrust of any career politician… I am voting UKIP because at least their candidates and leader seem to be real people. Real people may offend sometimes, but at least they can say something with real meaning - Most politicians can talk for hours and say nothing, give no straight answers.
When I am dictator, I will set up parliament like jury service - you will be selected from a pool of people (decided on by various methods of selection - qualifications/life experience, etc… …we can sort out the detail later).
You will debate, Tuesday to Thursday from 10:00 to 15:00, with breaks for lunch, etc…
You will serve in parliament for a set period - say 6 months. During that time you will be accommodated in a Central London “Parliament hotel”, given 3 squares a day plus beer tokens, entertainment allowance, etc… Your job will be held open for you, with appropriate cover/retraining costs given to your employer. You will get free public transport/use of a car, your family may come too, if you wish. Your bills/mortgage will be taken care of, and it will still cost less than the blood-sucking bar stewards take from us at the moment.
Who’s with me!?
Lets face it, the civil servants, who see governments and ministers come and go, run everything anyway, we just need “the people” to debate and rubber stamp it.
SNP it’s the only sensible choice north of the border, Tories out, love thy neighbour instead of trying to f… Him over
I’m surprised and pleased at the support for UKIP, so far.
Voted for them in the euro elections too, and if you recall the pollsters had them with only marginal support before the day and they wiped the floor, i have a feeling we’re going to see some upsets come May 8th, do hope so.
The only party with a costed and up front manifesto, the rest are doing the usual and talking bollox, spending money from the magic tree and yes the tories might talk a good economic strategy but under their stewardship the national debt has increased from approx £850Bn to £1.48Tr in the space of 5 years, thats a bigger increase than the traitor labour party managed in 13 years.
Voting for the least worse/dangerous of the three cheeks of the same arse is no longer the only option, we now have a party that’s different…it could do no worse than the others if it tried.
Voting for the same lot as always and expecting a different result is the definition of lunacy.
some ONE voted Green
where’s lycra man 
I’m voting UKIP I don’t think it will count as I live in a safe Tory seat and there’s a lot I don’t agree with in there policy’s and there is some cranks but I think the EU is just so second rate and we have always seemed a bit half hearted about been in the union anyway.
I have no trust in the three main party’s anyway and I think it doesn’t realy make much difference to normal people who’s in power.

I’m in the same boat, but if they can finish 2nd and push Labour and the Lib Dems into 3rd and 4th it’ll be a good place to build from for 2020. Also don’t forget it’s the county council elections (for me anyway) on the same day. I currently have a UKIP county councillor due to a defection from the Tory party.

- Sort the borders
- Sort our relationship with Europe
- Get our armed forces back up to strength.
Why wouldn’t a Labour voter want any of that??
The fact is too many of ‘Labour’s’ voters have historically swallowed all the socialist bs which is ideologically pro immigration.While the ‘Labour’ party is tied to the same CBI cheap labour agenda as the Cons.Which is why the Cons threw Powell out.

The only problem with that being that it should be called the Scottish Socialist Party.They only conveniently pretend to support the ‘Nationalist’ idea because it suits their Socialist agenda.Trust me there is no way that a socialist can possibly be a nationalist because the two ideologies are mutually exclusive.
Although having said that it might just be possible that they are really nationalists who think that the best way to get independence is by pretending to be socialists.
In which case they’ll be able to screw England for yet more cash in the hope that the English socialist and Unionist/Federalist cause will say fine how much. 
Which leaves the question why are UKIP supposedly anti federalists in the case of the EU but pro federalist in the case of the UK. 
UKIP…
As either way…
This country’s screwed / finished. 
Evolution is a strange word. It doesn’t just mean in the animal world, me thinks…
OK, you’s have mentioned Thatcher, the pits, and privatising XYZ…
But hasn’t Camron just continued HER ‘regime’, but dressed it up differently??
Her economy ideas were based on something like buying and selling money, not have an economy based on the ‘heavy industries’ / manufacturing / exporting more than importing etc… (saw a doc’ on the TV about her say something like this).
