    Labour leadership contenders

    They all say they have learned lessons, and list the predictable hogwash like fairness, listening to the people, etc.

    But so far, not one of them has mentioned running a proper budget and balancing the books.


    As an aside, I've just listened to one of them being interviewed on the radio. I can't remember his name but it wasn't Balls or Milliband. He says he wants more tax for rich people, because they haven't really earned it, like footballers.

    "Like Wayne Rooney?" he was asked. "yes."

    "What about Richard Branson?"

    "Er, er, look, I don't want to get into specifics..."

    Diane Abbott was on the radio this morning saying how she is going for the job because there should be a women standing. Is that the best reason she has?

    How the feck did these goons get into power in the first place?

      I hope that Diane Abbott wins.
      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

        I am just glad that absolute dimwits and lightweights are pushing to be the next leader. I am hoping that either Balls or Abbot somehow manage a coup and win. They will then have no hope whatsover for the next few elections.

        Labour in leadership crisis is nothing new. It was expected.

            I don't. There will be no more Darkie Days in Padstow! She's already tried banning it once - ISTR the police turning up one year with video cameras shooting footage of blacked up locals & submitting it to the CPS so that they could be prosecuted under Labour's hate crimes legislation.

              Wasn't Alan Johnson the favourite at one time? Has he entered?

                Seriously WGAS? Labour are a joke, all be it in very poor taste.

                I seriously expect them to implode in a rather spectacular fashion.

                    Wonder if the BBC will send her to the bench for as long as she is a candidate. Guess we'll find out tonight.
