Sergei Gotsmanov Posted 10 July, 2011 Share Posted 10 July, 2011 But hang on.... according to dune the majority of people in the UK are Conservative in their views so the dictatorial policies introduced by a non-left wing Labour government are the fault of a Conservative electorate who voted in a non-left wing party? I'm confused. It was a left of centre government that changed the way politics is done. Lovely people like Mandelson, Balls and Campbell changed the face of politics for the worse. So musch so that Cameron felt the need to employ the delightful Coulson to compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
View From The Top Posted 10 July, 2011 Share Posted 10 July, 2011 How vulgarly patronising. You fail to understand that for a society to flourish it needs to generate wealth. Only then can everybody's standard of living rise. And you my dear chap fail to understand that common decency, manners, kindness and responsibility are nothing to do with wealth or standards of living. When that penny finally drops then it will balance the other chip out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solentstars Posted 10 July, 2011 Share Posted 10 July, 2011 Ah, but where is the "middle" ground? It has moved somewhat to the right, with Labour only being able to get elected with a right facing party. In fact they were so determined to move to the right, they rebranded themselves and abadonded principles they had held for many years. England is mainly a right wing country, with only the Jocks and Taffs keeping the Torys out. The reason the NOTW, Mail and Sun (which seem to be the 3 papers that get up lefties noses) sell so many copies is their politics is to the right and that is where the majority sit. Even when The Sun was supporting New Labour, their slant on Europe, and other major issues was always to the right. No I think we are a consertive country We like looking backwards and hate change of any sort and I se you are still on about lefties are they a football team or Are you a righte whatever that is LOL Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without sounding too rude, reading this thread has indeed shown you to be somewhat out of your depth and your notion that "Spin Doctors" started with Blair is just one example of this. I presume you had never heard of Tim Bell. As for Ingham, he is on record about his 11 years as Thatcher's spin doctor (do you remember his briefings against Howe, Pym and Biffen???) and every morning lobby journalists would rock up at Downing St to be briefed and then briefed again later in the day at Westminster.
