It's the best policy that Labour have announced so far. Which admittedly isn't saying much, but credit where credit's due, it's a step in the right direction.

You are correct in your analysis. People often moan that the Opposition oppose "for the sake of it", but that's their job. I do believe Ed Miliband's official parliamentary title is "Leader of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition" (might be wrong, can't be arsed to google). If the Government came up...

Anyway, **** all this election shit, I'm FAR more worried about the direction in which the Albion are heading. Can anyone turn the ship around or will next season be even worse?

It's a valid point. Only nine of the Green councillors are standing for re-election - they're so ashamed of their performance that they haven't got the guts to defend it. I'm no Green supporter but I've always had a little bit of a soft spot for them (as people) as for all their simplistic...

That is exactly right. When the NHS was founded hospitals did little more than take out you appendix or deliver your baby. If your kidneys, liver or heart packed up - you died. If you got cancer - you died. Diseases like AIDS (and all the expensive treatments) didn't even exist. Plus there was...

It's what it represents. The duplication of paper is the duplication of effort. I wouldn't be at all surprised if there weren't two separate teams each doing exactly the same thing and unaware of the existence of the other. That's happened before as the result of a botched re-organisation...

That, my friend, is a ****ing good question. It's one (but only one) of the reasons that people are disillusioned with all main parties - none of then seem to have the answers.

100% spot on. My wife works as an NHS nurse and has done since the mid-1980s so she's seen it all. The stories she can tell you about bureaucracy and administrative waste would make your hair curl. The Tories started the rot with their ridiculous 'internal markets' and Labour, despite having 13...

Yes they are! They want what's best for Scotland, up to and including full independence. That is their raison d'etre. And fair play to them, they could be in a very strong position after the election and they will be absolutely right to maximise their bargaining power. But to say that a...

Well no, but you've got what is basically a single-issue party who will only be in it for what will benefit their narrow (in British terms) support base. At least the LibDems could claim to have British interests at heart as opposed to just Scottish. Every bit of legislation they will support...

Naa, 1983. I was a big fan of Michael Foot. I'm old, old Labour, I thought Neil Kinnock was a Tory traitor!

I saw a survey somewhere that said the Tories are wrong if they think that the Greens will take a lot of votes from Labour. According to this survey nearly all the Green increase is down to former Lib Dems switching to them. They gained very few ex-Labour voters. Understandably really seeing as...

I was interviewed for that! The questioning was slightly skewed (it was all based round 'Tory or Labour?') and my response is probably marked down as one of the 4% of Greens! *cough spit*

100% agree with you.

Is his surname 'On-Crouch'?
