TO KEEP IT LEGAL, OUR ONLY RESOURCE IS THE BALLOT BOX.

07.04.08, 5:06pm

We must vote this government out of power.

The first chance we have is in the local elections next month. Please make your vote count by bolstering the tories who have far more chance of success than the other fringe parties.

It's not that I approve of this party, it's just a safer bet to consign this corrupt NuLab outfit to history, then we can concentrate on lobbying the newly elected version of money grabbers into a honourable gvmt is all.

But the feel good factor wiill be back as we see the demise of the worst british government in living memory.

People are happy to take to the streets in defence of Tibet but have no stomach to protest the gross maladministration in our government.
We should ALL of us refuse to pay the iniquitous council tax,parking and speeding fines and the hated tv tax.
Unfortunately,this would take organisation,no good doing it in isolation.
Some very brave pensioners have resisted the council tax and we should all have joined them but we let them down.
Over to you mate.

Every teardrop of frustration, every bead of sweat from the brow forms a rivulet that becomes a stream then a river, and triutaries join it and it becomes a raging torrent that will sweep away with irresistable force any obstacle that stands in it's way.

The scene is set. It's just like a lull before the storm. Like even the silence that decends before a major batle ensues. There will be a new order established soon.

FEEL THE RAGE

06.04.08, 1:50pm

All those of you out there who are enraged at the way our country is being stripped bare, and divided, know what to do. you're looking for assurance that the rest of the country are feeling the some way as yourselves, and they are.But we all have to take part and not just hide behind the monitors. All we need is a catilyst.Lech Walesa did it for Poland, we can do it for Britain. Movements can spring up overnight when passions overspill. Party politics in this country will have to change if we seek true democracy, and only the will of the people can do it(all 60 million of us).

I HATE,LOATHE AND DETEST BROWN AND THE LABOUR PARTY

06.04.08, 7:41am



But it isn't just this scum that are gorging themselves sick on our hard earned tax money.
ALL politicians are feasting at the hard pressed tax-payers table,this is outrage,beyond outrage.
Time for the ordinary man to make himself heard,oh,too busy down at the pub or the bookies,oh alright then we'll just let them carry on exploiting us and say nothing.
Bloody pathetic,the English have no backbone.

Yes I know..but al least they haven't been the ones pulling the main levers of power for the last decade!

They are all the damn same that's a given, but I'd rather see a little more lean to the right wing than another minute of this bent bunch of crooks masquerading as real politicians.

ALL MPS ONCE IN POWER WILL ABUSE THE SYSTEM

05.04.08, 10:00pm

It is human nature.

What needs to be put in place are strict guidelines and limits that will prevent MPs from claiming too much.
The trouble is the people that have to pass this legislation are MPs.....so its never gonna happen.

Ulsterman I am sorry but I just can not agree. We have a Nigerian family next door, and several Chinese families in my close. These have in no way affected house prices in our area and we recently enquired about selling our house. These cases are minimal.

SNOUTS IN THE TROUGH

05.04.08, 7:04pm

How dare this government accuse genuinely sick people on incapacity benefits of costing the taxpayers money. Ministers can easily afford their own household expensess, god knows they pay themselves enough, unlike pensioners and people on very fixed incomes, who scrimp and save for any little kuxury, like food and heating They really want to get people off benefits so there is more money for their greedy selves?
It is time the citizens of this country woke up and smelt the fowl stench coming from our so called representatives.
This country is in meltdown, something needs to be done.
We didn't put up with Maggi Thachers tyranny, why are we putting up with this lot anymore.

NOTHING SURPRISES ME ANYMORE

05.04.08, 6:48pm

This government is like a child, sneaking money out of a piggy bank, they must donate a lot of hours working out how to spend all the money thats available, Why cant the taxpayers claim the same things, when filling in their tax forms,
free TV livences and cleaners sounds very nice, as would help with morgages, Perhaps we should all try it,
