When he bamboozled the audience with the claim that the two missing discs weren't the fault of the PM or his Ministers they were the fault of the junior I laughed out loud, Labour have introduced a multitude of new laws making employers responsible for staff behaving at Christmas Parties, not smoking in work vehicles, data protection rules and regulations as an example of just a few of the most recent, and yet because the government are the employer the junior is responsible for the lack of data protection, lack of security in access to this information - that a junior could get hold of these discs amazed me - and a lack of resources/procedure for safe transfer of highly sensitive data. He went on to say the Northern Rock crisis wasn't anything to do with the PM or his Ministers - well this is what I think they were responsible for: The dithering around about the Bank of Englands emergency loan, too much information getting out to an excited press which prompted the run on the bank.

His party were elected into power on, amongst other things, the promise of a referendum on this issue. He knew that the British public would say 'no' so he refused to hold one. He knew that the public would largely condemn him for signing the treaty so he tried to avoid being present at the ceremony altogether. He knew that the other heads of governments would be angry so he doesn't even have the gall to meet with them in Portugal. Every one of these actions is that of a coward and I think that they reflect badly not only on him but on Great Britain as a whole. I hope that the Conservatives will make a very loud public fuss about this and let the electorate know in no uncertain terms that not only are they led by a coward but by a party who lied to the very people that voted for them.

It was that lying traitor Tory Heath who got us in, and Tory governments have got us deeper in. I do not want to be "in Europe but not whatever the latest Tory mantra says": I want out, as do millions of my countrymen, Englishmen.... not people from a eurozone.... ENGLAND ! We have had enough of the EU, you politicians obviously think we are all stupid. EU and immigration, get rid of both and you will have a landslide victory in the next election. I do not think we need either for 'economic growth'... but even if we do; I am sure we would rather be poorer and free to be English.
