    I can't get my head round this

    For a bloke who is driven by cost control, free enterprise and cutting through bullsh1t and red tape, why on earth does Lord Suralan support the Labour party?

        Amstrad CEO resigns over Sir Sugar's emailer obsession ? The Register

        I'm surprised Sur Alun didn't get fired over this.

          With any luck he does it to annoy pathetic thrusting aspirant no-hoper Tories who misguidedly think Tories cut taxes (just as one example) when they clearly do not.

            Not raising taxes massively (like Labour would have done) is the same as cutting them.

              Hilarious - I was talking about history not your made-up version of what you think would have happened - why the flip do you think Labour would have increased taxes any more than the Tories have/are going to ? Certainly not on the experience of history, that much is certain.

                Read their manifesto retard - Laboour says deficit will be reduced mainly by tax raises and in the second place by spending cuts, the Tories and Lib Dems said the other way around. It would not have been a big deal had it not been for deficit running so high thanks to Nu Liebor debts.

                  That article is 9 years old.

                  To put the device into perspective, I got broadband 6 months later.
