I think the policies outlined in the Queen’s Speech are a real indication of which party really cares about the people of this country.
For the financially disadvantaged: – a savings gateway
For young people: – the ambitious aim of eradicating child poverty by 2020 will be enshrined in law, in order to force the incoming government to protect Britain’s youth at all costs.
– the widening of access to apprenticships
– early action for poorly performing schools
For minorities: – representation and respect for example through kosher and halal options of meals on wheels
– increase in positive action and closing the gender pay gap
For the sick: – further improvements to Labour’s NHS
For us all: – greater access and openess through strengthening local governments, constitutional reform and increasing the transparency of party donations
– security from the whims of banking elites through greater government control
I know who I’ll be voting for.

Well you can’t fault that, can you?
Old Cleggy-boy had a point. Just wish he’d been a little bolder and called the monarchy itself a charade [did he use the word "charade" - It can't recall exactly nor be arsed to check].
That Labour councillor what called old Lizzie Windor a “parasite” was perhaps a little tactless in his choice of words but he had a bloody good point. Shame the Tory monarchist fan-boys lept on it like it was a genuine scandal. Hey ho.
p.s. I’ve got a draft blog on republicanism with a kiwi slant if you’re interested? It ain’t very good, but it might drive some of our old Trolls out of lurking and into commenting, Jones’ Theorum, etc.
Yeh that would be good, email it to committee@bulsonline.org it’d b good to see the BUC”F” back on here in force, not just dan being petty
sorry.. not Councillor, *candidate*. One should really be more carefull in these things.
