    Tories plan to give IT contractors 5 yrs tax free earnings.

    But since they'd be no better than Labour, what difference would it make anyway?

    It's true, the party in opposition will say the most outlandish things for votes, knowing full well no one who matters will stick it to them when they get into power.

      Reference? Sounds too ridiculous to be true... it's even more crazy than Labour's recent "look you'll have more money if you vote for us" policy changes/'promises'

        I made it up.

        My points were:


        1. The opposition can promise what they like. They are not in power.
        2. Whatever they say, people here are going to vote Labour in again anyway. They can't help themselves.

            That is like saying - because virtually all of the UK was against the Iraq war apart from Blair - there will be no UK participation in the Iraq War.

            Also what the Tories are proposing is not a nebulous 'promise' its a practical and more effective way of managing Public resources.

            As for Labour being re-elected anyway - that smacks of bad faith - Jean Paul Satre made the same criticism of the French who under Nazi occupation maintained it was useless to resisit or struggle as the Nazis were invincible - Satre's novel concernign this topic was La Peste - The Plague.

            Well - they weren't.

              you think people here are going to vote Labour in again anyway? I think people here are greedy selfish Torygraph-munching semi-fasciscts who will vote Troy anyway.

              Maybe the congregation have a good mix?

                  OK guys I can see there is an overwhelming despondency out there - theres no point in any form of resistance or alternative approach - the Darkness is going to erase us all .

                  Might as well turn ourselves in now.
