I don’t know what to make of it really. I am not overly keen on the moralising agenda Cameron seems to be embarking on – but it seems as though his definition of ‘broken society’ isn’t the same as what most people would believe it to be. His focus seems to be on crime (which is definitely a problem in inner-cities), disaffected youths (we do have the highest ‘neets’ rate in Europe) and strengthening communities (which can’t really be that much of a bad thing).

I think David Osler is falling into the same mistake Labour is making – somehow holding David Cameron responsible for a Conservative administration that hasn’t been in power for 11 years with most of the frontbenchers in the previous administration either dead or retired from politics.

Anyway, what’s the alternative? Keep Brown and his cronies in power for another five years? No thanks. I’ve been living under Labour for eleven years, and they are no longer a party I could morally support. They have become authoritarian, incompetent and dangerously out of touch with the public. I’m ready to give Cameron and his ‘broken society’ agenda a chance – because let’s face, it couldn’t possibly get any worst than Labour! And a spell in opposition is exactly what Labour needs.

And Labour did what exactly to change anything Thatcher had created?

“let’s face, it couldn’t possibly get any worst than Labour”

As a supporter of neither of the main two, I have to say: I bet you a tenner it could.

Interesting that Tony Blair didn’t role back the reduction of union power that you claim destroyed this country, and neither has Gordon Brown (in fact, Blair curbed union powers at the party conference for the first time in Labour’s history) – could that be because Blair, like everyone other rational person, saw that the unions were themselves destroying this country and had far too much power?

Just a thought.

No LFAT, I’m afraid that “thought” isn’t very “interesting” at all. Blair and Brown did not reverse anti-union legislation because they are right-wingers like yourself. It is not the case that “everyone other rational person” thinks that about the unions, just right-wingers like your good self, Blair and Brown.

Good post Dave. The bare-faced cheek of this twat Cameron fair takes my breath away. The vapidity of it is as irksome as its disengenuity. Thatcher at least had a very clear economic vision with a very clear mission, which, as LFAT eminds us, was that “unions-” [and by extension protection for working people] “-must be destroyed.” Having a snide pop at fat people simply doesn’t have the same Nietzchean call to arms.

Labour could only do what it was allowed to do by the elites in the media. It was the tories that did all right wing stuff.

Indeed, Labour are innocent victims.
