26 point lead - Cameron must be given the credit.

The Sun's poll carried out by YouGov, which indicated that Labour have not been as unpopular since the 1930s, is the result of the actions of two men - Gordon Brown and David Cameron. Without doubt Brown's dithering, poor choice of policy and general incompetence has caused Labour to lose a great amount of support. But, that lost support has not been to the advantage of the Lib Dems. Ever since the highly successful Conservative party conference last year, David Cameron has led his party to historic popularity. There are certain members of the media who have said that the Tories recent success is more down to Gordon's ineptitude rather than Cameron's leadership. Well I say - what a load of rubbish.

The policies that Cameron and his shadow cabinet laid out at the Tory conference were stolen by Brown, everyone knew it. They knew the we were the party with the ideas and Labour were reduced to stealing them. Brown is trying to use the all mouth and no trousers approach to Cameron, but it falls on deaf ears when the only Labour policies the public like are second hand Tory ones. I can't think of one Labour policy since Brown came to power that the public actually appreciated. All we ever hear from Labour is tax this and tax that, ban, ban, ban, fine, fine, fine. Labour's policies are so unpopular that their own MPs are campaigning against them in their own constituencies. However that doesn't seem to stop them voting for them in parliament.

I'm a member of the Conservative party, not because I'm a traditional Tory, but because the Tories are the party who are coming up with the policies I feel are necessary for this country to become great once again. I supported Labour in the past, but they have sucked this country dry. It's all been down to uncontrollable spending and poor management. Our taxes are ridiculous, spending is out of control and so our national debt is an embarrassment. We all know that crime is getting worse and that our public services are fast becoming a joke. And still Labour publish figures telling us that actually, tractor production is up. To achieve this the massage the figures or change the way those figures are recorded. Basically they lie.

That's the point. I fell out of love with labour long before I became a Conservative party member. It's the lies - the bare faced lies.

We could have been waking up to a Conservative Government tomorrow.

Well today could have been the day we ended Labour's ten years of government. If the election had gone ahead there is a good chance that the Conservatives could have won, probably with a slim majority, but a win is a win. I believe that with the swing in the polls we have seen, and a good election campaign, we would have been waking up tomorrow to a new era in British politics. We'd have a government that was willing to let us have our say on the EU Treaty, we'd have a government that sees that the current arrangement of non-English MPs voting on English matters as just plain wrong. We'd also have a government that does not want to close down our local A&E and Maternity wards. We'd have a government that wants to keep track of who is coming and going from this country and will not lose track of hundreds of thousands of migrant workers.

With a small majority we would have a government that would be more accountable to us. Such a government would have to make policy decisions based on our wishes and not just on what is good for the party. History has proven time and again that big government does not work. The money just keeps getting poured into deeper and deeper holes. It really is time for a change, unfortunately we are going to have to wait. I just hope that Gordon Brown does not get us into a position of no return before we see the back of him. It is more than obvious that Brown is making personal decisions that go against the majority of the voting population. There is a word for that: Dictatorship.

With a bit of luck Gordon Brown's own party will get rid of him. There are some very serious rumblings amongst the Labour support, and if he does not pull his socks up he will be out on his ear. There is a post on Labourhome entitled, Show us your vision Gordon. Please go over to Labourhome and read this article, and the comments left by other Labour supporters, it's a real eye opener.

As an ex-Labour man, I know how the writer of the article feels.

They can downgrade Christmas when they pry the stuffing from my cold, dead hands.

According to Labour's favourite bunch of numpties (the think tank going by the name of the Institute for Public Policy Research), Christmas should be downgraded in favour of festivals from other religions to improve race relations. Now, I'm no think tank "expert" but I pretty damn sure that following this course of action would drive a wedge the size of a very big wedge-shaped thing (possibly a exceedingly large slice of Crimbo cake) between the Christians of this country and everyone else.

Oh, and this think tank also believes that we are no longer a Christian nation.

These are the people that came up with the following fantastic Labour policies: ID cards, bin taxes and road pricing. What are they thinking: "We have tried and tried to annoy the population with our stupid policies and still they won't riot, maybe we should downgrade Christmas in favour of festivals from other religions. That should get them going".

Will someone please go around to their office and slap them all hard with the hairy side until they stop coming out with this rubbish.

Gordon Brown's British jobs for British workers - Not in the EU Comrade.

Gordon Brown has repeated his call for British jobs for British workers. I want to know who is trying to kid. There are plenty of jobs for British workers, they just don't want to do them. According to his own figures there are 600,000 job vacancies, if you add to that the 1.5m jobs taken up by people born outside the UK in the past 10 years, you have got to wonder why these jobs have not been filled by our own unemployed. A total of 2.1m job vacancies and we have an unemployment problem? If 1.5m people have come here to work, a large number of which are unskilled, then I think we can safely say that getting a job in Britain is not that difficult.

We have even increased the minimum wage, increased family allowance and introduced family tax credits to make it easier to get back to work. Add to that increases in maternity leave, flexible hours, child care schemes, and back to work schemes, and still we have unemployment problems. The fact is the benefit system in this country means you would have to work long and hard to match the money you receive in government handouts. Why bother when you can sit at home?

It emerges that more than half of all jobs created since 1997 have gone to migrant workers who are willing to travel hundreds or even thousands of miles to a strange land to earn a living (and good on them). Instead of wasting time and money trying cajole the long term unemployed into work with scheme after air brained scheme, spend the money rooting out the people who are able but not willing to work. Let's stop pussy footing about: if there is work that you can be reasonably expected to do, and you refuse, then you have given up your rights to benefits.

Gordon Brown's British jobs for British workers (which is apparently illegal under EU law) is nothing but a slogan stolen from the BNP. There are jobs available and we need to move away from the P.C position of asking the long term unemployed nicely if they would be so kind to get off their backsides, to a more forceful approach.

Boo! - All trick no treat from Gordon Brown

I absolutely love this poster. It's causing the Labour trolls to get a bit excited over on Iain Dale's blog Click to enlarge.

Michael Gove - Killing Gordon Brown softly with his words.

I've just finished reading Michael Gove's speech: Brown is hanging on to power for its own sake.

I do not want to get into a political discussion with this man. I suggest you read Michael's speech, but be warned, it's as long as it is well written. The speech is a devastating attack on Gordon Brown, but it is more of a crippling siege than an all out frontal assault. Michael starts by going back to Brown's earliest political ideals and shows us how he has had to compromise those ideals away to get to the position he now holds.

Michael goes on to describe how we have come the large centralist state that we are in now, and Brown's need to justify massive public spending by implementing targets to track each pound. Most damning of all is Michael's opinion on Brown's inability to change to comply with the modern era of post-bureaucratic politics we are now entering.

Michael ends:

And in their style of Government, not least on Europe, they decide what we need and tell us not to answer back.

They have said to the British people "give us your trust and accept our judgement" when a new politics of optimism should place its trust in the British people's own judgement.

Nothing in politics is so powerful as idealism - it is Labour's tragedy that while they cling to power, the idealism in British politics is now found elsewhere…"

Bin Tax gets the go ahead - What a load of rubbish.

Local councils have been given the go ahead to TAX YOU MORE. Pilot schemes are to be introduced throughout the country which will allow your council to charge you for the amount of rubbish you generate. This could be seen as a tax on families because they are the ones who are generating the most waste (it's a matter of numbers). Also this will be another tax on the working members of our society. Will those who do not pay council tax pay for any extra waste they produce? I doubt it very much. So I think we can safely say that if you are working and married (or cohabiting) with kids then this is a tax aimed at you.

There is so much that could be done before resorting to taxing us into submission. Manufacturers could be forced to improve the way they package their produce, we could go back to using milk bottles, we could ban plastic bags in supermarkets, we could improve recycling facilities, we could better educate the population on what can and can't be recycled, if packaging is labelled as recyclable, it must be easily recyclable (a lot of items aren't), more energy from waste facilities need to be built (in accordance with the Kyoto protocol). The ways to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill are numerous and increasing our tax bill should be seen as a last resort. But of course taxing us is a no-brainer.

Should David Cameron agree to a referendum on a ratified EU Treaty?

David Cameron has a very difficult decision to make on whether to agree to a referendum on a ratified EU Treaty. I can understand his dilemma. I want a referendum on the treaty before it is ratified. We were promised one and Gordon Brown has gone back on that promise because he knows we will vote no if given our democratic choice. The problem with agreeing to call a referendum if he comes into power after the any ratification of the Treaty, is the massive discord it would cause with the rest of the EU. There would be I think, calls from other member states for us to agree to keep the Treaty or leave the EU, full stop.

I think David has to give this problem a lot of thought, given that it could come down to a in or out decision. My gut feeling would be to call the referendum and face the consequences, but I am not going to be in David's position. We have the luxury of making our choices without having to pick up the pieces if it all goes wrong.

There is no doubt it is a lot easier to stop us entering into the treaty now, than it will be to remove ourselves from it after ratification.

Telegraph YouGov poll puts the Conservative Party 3 points ahead of Labour.

More good news for the Conservative party, bad news for Labour and terrible news for the LibDems.

This morning's Telegraph YouGov poll puts the Conservative Party at 41%, 3 points ahead of Labour, while the LibDems drop 4 points down to 11%.

These figures match exactly those shown in an Ipsos/Mori Poll carried out on behalf of The Sun two weeks ago. They are however a massive improvement on the last YouGov poll carried out three weeks ago when the Tories trailed Labour by 11 points. This is the first time that the Conservative party have polled more than 40% in a YouGov survey since 1992. If that is not bad enough for Brown, members of the Cambridge Union debating society voted 302 to 95 in favour of the motion: "This House has No Confidence in Her Majesty's Government."

Further good news for the Tories comes from the results of the party leaders approval ratings. David Cameron has come from being 23% behind Gordon Brown to enjoy a 6% lead.

Looks like Gordon has made one good decision this year: bottling out of the election (well it was good for himself, not the country).

People say that Gordon Brown is crap at PMQ's - I think they are spot on.

Iain Dale has a post up on his blog at the moment entitled: Why Gordon Brown Is So Crap At PMQs.

This is my take on Brown's poor performance in front of the dispatch box. For one thing he is no Tony Blair, he lacks Tony's charisma and is not able to face criticism in the same way, preferring to hide when the brown stuff hits the air circulation device. For another, Brown is crap at PMQ's because every time he has appeared in front of a camera in the last month he has had to waffle and spin. His cabinet ministers have to waffle and spin and though they usually get away with it, these embarrassing episodes are happening too close together for the people to forget the last one.
Labour have relied on the people having short memories. Unfortunately for Uncle Joe Brown they are not short enough to forget one disgraceful act followed quickly by another and another and another.....

This is why any talk of shadow cabinet re-shuffles should be shelved and David Cameron should concentrate on keeping Brown against the ropes. As the polls are showing, the people are not forgetting Labour's mistakes and they are getting a lot less charitable. You can forgive the odd blip, we've come to expect a bit of waffle and spin from our leaders, but we cannot forgive what looks like a constant stream of incompetent actions.

Labour are not fit to lead, and David Cameron and his team need to drive that fact home to make it clear in the minds of the British public.

Douglas Alexander is not guilty says Gordon Brown.

At long last former Scottish Secretary Douglas Alexander has apologised for making a total hash of the May elections. However, Gordon Brown told the Commons that Douglas Alexander was not at fault and accused the Conservatives of misleading the people. If that is true, why did Dougie apologise? He told the house: "I, of course, apologise for any actions or omissions on my part which contributed to the problems encountered in the Scottish elections."

David Cameron, who again soundly beat Brown at PMQ's, said: "You promised us a new type of politics. You said you would be more open and honest. You said you would be frank about problems. You said you would be candid about the dilemmas. That was in your leadership speech 100 days ago. After your performance today doesn't that feel like 100 years ago?"

I'm waiting for Gordon's next trick, maybe he will ride a unicycle or wear a flower that squirts water at the next set of questions.

Climate Change Part 17 (UK renewable energy targets).

When will Gordon Brown's luck turn? It seems that documents have been leaked which detail how Gordon Brown will be told that the 20% target for renewable energy by 2020 faces "severe practical difficulties". This obviously translates to "it's not going to happen". The environmentally friendly Labour party have managed to put in place a massive (wait for it) 2% of our energy from renewable sources. If that is not bad enough, what little they have managed put in place is about as much use as an ejector seat on a channel tunnel train.

The government has blown (excuse the pun) half a billion pounds subsidising the wind turbine industry. It is alleged that energy companies are receiving subsidies for wind farms that will never make any money, because they have exaggerated the potential of sites with not enough wind. For a wind farm to be viable it must have a load factor of 30 per cent. But Jim Oswald, an engineering consultant, found that the average across the country was 28 per cent. Michael Jefferson, policies chairman of the World Renewable Energy Network believes that the subsidies are encouraging energy companies to exaggerate the amount of potential wind energy a farm can supply. Mr Jefferson said: "We should be putting our money where the wind is and that is quite often not where the development pressure is." In a previous post about nuclear power’s life-cycle emissions it turned out that the life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions for nuclear plants are lower than that of wind farms.

The real clincher from the leaked document is the advice to Brown to work with governments like Poland who are sceptical about climate change to: "help persuade" Merkel and other leaders to set lower renewable targets.

What a shambles.

Citizen's Juries - Gordon Brown's biggest waste of money to date.

I write this short piece on the subject of citizens juries while suppressing the urge to wail and gnash my teeth. Not only have these Juries been called a farce, they have also been the subject of some wonder at the reason for the jury members receiving brown envelopes full of cash. Could it be symbolic that the envelopes are brown?

But believe it or not, that is not the worst of it. Yesterday in what should have been a massive embarrassment to the government, the Junior schools minister told the shadow commons leader, Theresa May, that his department had spent £500,000 on five juries. How the hell this can be justified I've no idea. No doubt the junior minister was glad he gave Theresa the bad news in a written reply. I don't think he could have done it in person without wanting the earth to open up.

This is without question one of the most incompetent wastes of our taxes that I have had the misfortune to come across. What kind of halfwit thought they could justify spending that kind of money? These Juries aren't even binding on the government. If Gordon Brown doesn't like the juries verdict, he can just ignore it!

This needs to be stopped before even more of our money is flushed away.

£1m for a Brown Bottle. (Labour election bill).

I had to laugh when I heard the news that Labour (who were not that serious about an autumn election) are allegedly facing a bill of £1 million for their election that "never was" campaign. Advertising had been paid for, staff had been hired and letters to supporters in marginal seats had been printed. Now, that seems a little over the top if we are to believe Brown was only considering an election. I think we can now safely say that it was an outright lie to say that the Polls had nothing to do with his decision. You don't spend £1 million when you are already running a deficit, unless you are going for it.

Brown did bottle it, and his loss of nerve cost the Labour party £1 million.

The EU Treaty - Jobs for the boys (President Tony Blair).

I've had quite a few friends and relatives who know that I'm into politics, asking me why Gordon Brown's Labour so keen to sign the EU Treaty against public opinion. And you know, I find it very difficult to answer them. The only answer I can come up with is that they are creating jobs for the boys. Today, Tony Blair is once again being touted as the first EU President by French President Nicolas Sarkazy. Of course Brown says that the selection of the new EU President has not been discussed and it won't be until after the Treaty has been ratified. There's a very good reason that Tony Blair's appointment won't be announced until after the ratification, and that's because the British public would smell one very large and very dirty rat if it was announced beforehand.

The EU is an excellent money making opportunity for an MP, allegedly the Kinnocks pull in millions from their pensions for their short service to Europe. Let's see how many ex-Labour MPs find their way into well paid and cushy EU jobs if this Treaty is ratified. Gordon and Tony's mates will be laughing all the way to the bank. If Tony Blair takes the position of EU President, he should be named Judas Caesar the first Emperor of Europe.

Today William Hague told Brown's puppet Andrew Marr: "If the Liberal Democrat MPs also break their solemn election commitment, as well as Labour MPs, then of course that makes it difficult for us to win a vote in the House of Commons." I think Marr did well not to break out into a cheesy smile at the thought of how happy that would make the puppet master. Hague went on to say: "Although those in marginal seats will have to remember that their breach of that promise is something we will remind their constituents about in some detail at the next general election." I Hope that is true and I hope that those who have sold this country out lose their seats. However there's a damn good chance that they won't care, because they may well walk straight into a EU jobs.

Britain is not the only country to be denied their democratic right to vote on their nation's future. A survey carried out by The Financial Times/Harris, showed: 76 pct of Germans, 75 pct of Britons, 72 pct of Italians, 65 pct of Spaniards and 63 pct of French wanted a referendum on the treaty. The entire population of Europe is being sold down the river by their own politicians.

If the Treaty is ratified, I will be asking my MP to put forward a motion for a vote of no confidence. If I can, I will, and I hope others will do the same. We cannot be lead by a Government that acts against the wishes of its people. They were voted in to represent us, not to betray us.

Gordon Brown is selling Britain down the EU Treaty River.

Last night Gordon Brown agreed on our behalf (without our permission) to sign up to the new EU Treaty (Constitution). Now, I did not vote in Gordon Brown as Prime Minister, nor did anyone else in this country. He has absolutely no right to make such a momentous decision about the future and sovereignty of this country without any democratic consensus. Gordon Brown last night took his first steps into Dictatorship.

I for one will endeavour to show this man for what he is, he is a man that will use spin and lies for the good of himself and his party. Brown and his puppet Miliband are more than willing to lie to the public, and I honestly believe that they don't care that we know they are conning us. When a government has a decent sized majority they can do anything they please, and they can say "up yours" to the voters. That's exactly what Gordon Brown is doing now, he knows that we were promised a referendum, he knows the people want that referendum and he knows that we will vote against this Treaty. He knows, but he does not care. We are the little people and he, the great leader, thinks only he knows what is best for this country. (Dictator : A totalitarian leader of a dictatorship. They wield absolute authority, usually to the detriment of the people).

Who decides if we sign up to this treaty? - Gordon Brown.
Who decides if the people have a say? - Gordon Brown.
Who decides what the mythical red lines are going to be? - Gordon Brown.
What do we the people get to decide? - ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

If this Treaty is signed, then I believe that we have every right to rename this democracy a dictatorship. This man Brown, is handing over our sovereignty without first gaining our permission.

One in four Hospitals fail hygiene standards.

There is a country that provides free health care to all its citizens. To achieve this, the service is paid for with tax payers money. In fact the service is actually funded well above the rate of inflation. Now considering that kind of investment, you would expect the service to be excellent, wouldn't you?

Well the country in question is not so lucky. Against all the odds, one in four of these highly funded Hospitals are failing to meet hygiene standards. How could this happen? Well it looks like the country's government spent too much money on management and achieving targets, and not enough on nurses, beds and equipment. That's bad news for any country. The real bad news is that this story is about our country, and it is not fiction.

Gordon "untrustworthy" Brown at the EU Treaty summit.

The man who cannot be trusted, Gordon Brown is to represent this country at an EU summit for the first time today. He says that he is going to protect his Red Lines, but as the European Scrutiny Committee pointed out, it will be impossible.

According to committee chairman Michael Connarty a new clause added to the Treaty on the 3rd of October "seriously damaged" assurances on criminal justice and home affairs.

How much would you like to bet that Brown returns from the summit to tell us that the Red Lines are secure. The problem is, after the last few weeks, can we trust him? I know that I certainly do not and never will again. Brown puts his own skin and the Labour party before the wishes of the people.

The Spine reveals Gordon Brown's vision for Britain.

You know, it looks like the Spine could be bang on the money with this one. It does seem (judging from the last few weeks) that Gordon wasn't thinking past getting rid of Tony.

Permission to post this picture was very kindly given by David the Author of The Spine. Please pop over to see what else he is doing, there are many more like this.
