Treasures from the Threads - Number Sixteen

In reply to a stomach turning article in this morning's Daily Telegraph, linked here, by former New Labour, Minister for Europe, Denis MacShane MP: I'm rather dumbfounded, Denis, that you haven't proposed saving money by suggesting that the British Government withold the hard-earned tax revenue, kindly and generously donated by the British Taxpayer, which is wasted in the regular farce of transferring the EU from its Brussels offices to those of Strasbourg, simply and solely to assuage French vanity. (Unless, of course, you would contrive to suggest there is a genuine and pressing need to do so)...(no, I thought not....) Perhaps that same Government might seek to see that throwing fifty billion pounds at a failing and badly-led Bank might actually be a poorer investment than the relatively paltry three hundred million to the Post Office, which provides a lifeline to tens of thousands of Britons who otherwise are bereft of choice locally. (Three hundred million pounds? How many failed ID Database schemes is that, I wonder? How many publically-funded Legal Aid scams to fund Terrorism and organised Crime...?) Denis, if you want to see Government run better than it is now, then your choice is very simple indeed. With the aid of an experienced surgeon, remove your Cranium from your posterior, look at how the Government you gave support and loyalty to, have failed with such abject aplomb and campaign against it. It's Leader is a cowardly liar, unused to dealing with adversity through ten years of hiding from each and every instance of difficulty. This Government is entirely devoid of direction and integrity, vacant of conciousness and concience, divorced from reality and assimilation with those it laughingly was supposed to protect and assist. You yourself were central to this process. You yourself were an enthusiastic member of the most mendacious, dishonest and unprincipled British Governments in post-war history. A Government which now can only be supported by an ever dwindling and insignificant band of retarded nutters and sycophants. Even Polly Toynbee is beginning to stammer her rehearsed lines. If your singular ray of hope is to attempt to highlight that the Shadow Cabinet contains a number of high earners, then you hold no concept of the contempt the voter holds for your and the distant, corrupted cabal you provided membership to. Britons are not going to vote FOR Cameron. They are going to vote AGAINST Brown and his sinister clique of arrogant children. Your self-imposed delusional state of diffidence over matters such as the failed Constitreaty upon which you have withdrawn a promised Referendum are metaphorical vultures round the neck of a dying Party in precisely the same manner as Black Wednesday around the necks of John Major and his dreary, dreadful Cabinet. Selective memory loss and self-justified failures of competence need to be addressed before you get to the plain and manifest failures of the current weak and luminously incompetent Prime Minister and his desperate panic policies. As with the awful Major\Clarke Government, it's what you DO, and don't do that counts, not what you say and promise. Forget Policy and spending for now. They won't get you out of the hole you have helped to dig. Start with apologising for the things you have done wrong, and correct them. If you can't recognise that now, you have no business wasting your time writing articles in the Press. Instead you need to be compiling your entry for your one entitled paragraph in the next Longest Suicide note in History. Your only supporters on this thread will be the tragic supplicative cretins who regularly suspend reality to worship this woeful Government. When your only supporters are the Q-fool and his idiot amigos, you should be afraid, very afraid... Posted by M.P. G. Lord Howe on May 27, 2008 3:42 AM
