My main point isn't really to do with immigration at all, it's that the hysteria that surrounded Brown's gaffe tarnishes <i>everybody</i> involved - the media, the politicians, & the public - by virtue of it pushing every other story off the pages; to the willing delight of us who consume (whether to agree or not). I'm sure Mrs Duffy is lovely and everything, but she needn't be so worried (and yes, us lefties need to make the case better!)<br /><br />~ Mr S. PillMr S.

It rarely is enthusiastic about new Governments. 1997 was an exception, and look what happened!<br /><br />This is especially true of the Tories who usually have to come in administering after lefties have been enjoying a party with the nation's credit card.<br /><br />My guess, after this disaster for brown, Labour will be wiped out, and there will be a small Tory Majority.Jackarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477130724830922566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17101458.post-22362918826752824812010-04-29T12:12:03.212+01:002010-04-29T12:12:03.212+01:00Simon:

Apparently there's helicopters flying around the University of Bham right now :-)<br /><br />Jackart,<br /><br />I think you're overreacting. Mr S Pill, the author of this piece, is not accusing anybody of BNP sympathies. If you read through again, he even suggests that if she doesn't like what Labour have done there's plenty of other parties to pick. You can hardly be fairer than that.<br /><br />As for the remark that <br /><i>"And it appears the Labour movement agrees."</i><br />I didn't know you had a hotline with the Labour movement.<br /><br /><i>"You lot are going to be in the wilderness for a very, very long time."</i><br /><br />"You lot" meaning...? <br /><br />Last time I checked the Tories were hardly going to get a majority!!! And that's after 13 years of Labour, a government in tatters, an unelected Prime Minister who seems to have lost it completely, massive economic downturn, pro-Tory press. And you still have the same percentage you did under Michael Howard in 2005.<br /><br />The country is hardly looking forward to a Tory government!

I know all you lefties really think that mentioning immigration means you're BNP voter, (please familiarise yourself with my views on immigration "borders are an affront to human dignity" before accusing me of anything).<br /><br />Mrs Duffy merely articulated the concerns of a lot of people. She did so respectfully and Gordon Called her a "Bigot".<br /><br />And it appears the Labour movement agrees.<br /><br />You lot are going to be in the wilderness for a very, very long time.Jackarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477130724830922566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17101458.post-70507722968281854572010-04-29T09:27:02.180+01:002010-04-29T09:27:02.180+01:00On the note of the debate tonight - will Hagley Ro...On the note of the debate tonight - will Hagley Road to Ladywood be on site for the debate at the University campus?Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14417978876714003366noreply@blogger.com
