		<description>David Cameron has proudly stated that he will turn the NHS into a thriving business.
Great if you have lots of money, longer waiting lists or worse, no treatment if you don&#039;t.

We have to tell him and his Liberal cronies the NHS is not for sale</description>

		<description>I see the reason of course why good pension were given to teachers and nurses was that both Labour and the Tories made them work for low pay, to give them a reason for  doing those  jobs they were offered a better pension, now of course teachers and nurses are on better pay but still want the great pension. Labour at it&#039;s best.

I  really cannot be bother with politics at the money or politicians, and the private sector should have been of interest to a labour party which has a sore backside from bending down to the bankers</description>

		<description>We are not all in this together.
Just watch the N.H.S. go private who will suffer the most?
Watch the Police cuts except in London.
It shows that the working class are suffering food poverty and losing their homes.
The elderly are just left to rot.
&quot;SHAME ON YOU&quot; as a Government I would not be able to live with myself if I inflicted so much pain on the people of this Country</description>

		<description>Thanks Jonathan Graham.  This is precisely the ridiculous divisive Tory rhetoric that I am referring to.  If you are now on a low private sector pension I am very sorry about this but it isn&#039;t the fault of public sector workers who are paying into their own pension schemes and will have to pay more and work longer to get lower pensions.  The fact that you have received a low pension is not a justification for low pensions forever more.  In fact it&#039;s part of the argument that we should all be fighting together to stop this kind of scandal.

As regards the public sector expanding at an &#039;unsustainable rate&#039; yet again you miss the point - fact - it was not public sector spending which caused the banks to go bust across the world - fact - the Tory policies now introduced have resulted in borrowing INCREASING not falling - and with all that increased unemployment so more people with less money in their pockets to spend and stimulate the economy.  Goerge Osborne must be a genius because I haven&#039;t worked out how his plan is going to sort the mess out (a mess caused by an international banking collapse not a Labour Government).</description>

		<description>What a pile of self indulgent rubbish, Yes indeed, &#039;come together and demand decent pensions&#039;. Why should public sector workers get pensions ralative to their salaries that I as a private sector worker can only dream of. from whom shouk should I demand a &#039;decent pension&#039;? Please feel free to let me know.
Many public sector workers do valuable work, but the public sector as a proportion of the national income has expanded at a totally unsustainable rate under the recent labour administrations and needs to be brought under control ( and that is expanded in terms of numbers of employees and costs, not in terms of value - billions of pounds spent on schools, teachers better paid, school leavers no better educated). 
Wake up and smell the coffee!</description>

		<description>As I understand it the European Court was concerned that PArlaiment had not made this decision.
However I understand that PArliament actually did make such a decision and teh European Court was making a judgemetn on incdence. Prehaps Mr Straw could either confirm or refute this?</description>

		<description>I heard with sadness, while attending ST Albans church this morning in Blackburn, about the proposed loss of the Furniture store. Although we know that cuts will be happening across the board, this one will be a great loss to the community. 
1. It provides work and training for young people, repairing the donated furniture.
2. Furniture is re-cycled instead of going for landfill
3. Poor families are supplied with much needed furniture, and at a time when they will be under even more pressure.</description>

		<description>So if you don&#039;t support AV and - presumably, judging by your comments about coalitions - don&#039;t support PR either, would you support a two-round voting process, as used in France, where 2 weeks later there is a second &#039;run-off&#039; ballot between the two top candidates in constituencies where nobody gets more than half of the vote?

If not, why not?  Wouldn&#039;t you agree that it is not unreasonable for the winning candidate to have to poll more than 50% of the vote?

Incidentally, AV spares the need for a second election by allowing electors to vote for their second and third preference at the same time.</description>

		<description>To quote ----    &quot;The Tory led Government don’t believe in protecting the vulnerable but they obviously do believe in protecting the more affluent southern areas of this country where cuts have been minimised. They also believe that their friends in the City like Sir Phillip Green can continue to avoid paying taxes and that Banker’s can continue to be paid big bonuses.&quot;
I know this,you know this,the whole of blackburn knows this,but we can scream it till we are blue in the face,but no one else will believe it.</description>

		<title>Comment on United we can defeat the EDL by Reginald Sniff-Peters</title>

		<description>Many EDL that day were from Blackburn, Mr Straw! Did they ‘invade’ the town as well? That’s pretty hard to do if you actually live there. 

Also, why isn’t Straw stating the same thing about the UAF/SWP? Were they all from Blackburn? One of their leaders who was there, the violent Martin Smith of the violent UAF/SWP, is certainly not from from Blackburn - he’s from Hackney. I tell you, that accent of his certainly isn’t a Lancashire one. 


What matters is who the invaders are. If they are EDL - that’s a bad thing. If they are Leftists, asylum seekers and Muslims - that can only be a good thing for Blackburn. 

Isn’t it strange how xenophobic these careerist politicians and councillors can be when it comes to the EDL and the white working class? 

 Communist/Trotskyist desire to fundamentally change society - but especially to fundamentally change the white working class - if not destroy all that is ‘hideously white’ about it (as the Guardian once put it).] 

Straw mentions an‘Asian area’? Does he mean Muslim area? And does he also mean that it is their area and their area alone? You know, like the Islamoghettoes New Labourites claim don’t exist. Then again, the IslamoTrot Salma Yaqoob once claimed the streets of city-centre Birmingham for Muslims when she ranted, ‘Whose streets! Our streets!’ After that, the Muslims claimed the streets of Birmingham and went around attacking every kuffar they could find. Not attacking EDL! All EDL were at the other side of the city centre when these acts of mini-jihad were going on.

‘Serious trouble’ from the EDL? Is that why there have been no EDL arrests at the last four or so EDL demos? Not only that. But other demos before that occurred without EDL arrests. However, at Bolton, for example, UAF/SWP arrests far outnumbered EDL arrests. But you won’t hear Jack talking about that because the extreme and violent far-left SWP/UAF is part of the same ‘broad church’ to which he belongs. Indeed, when he was younger, he was a straight-down-the-line Commie. Full stop. Nearly all Labourites were. And that’s partly why they still haven’t shaken off their Communism/Trotskyism or their sympathy for the SWP/UAF, etc. 

Jack Straw has consitently assuaged Islamism, defended Muslim self-ghettoisation, been soft on Islamoterrorists in the UK and, last but not least, he&#039;s joined in the unthinking Leftist and Islamist chorus against the English patriots of the EDL. 

And there wasn’t a ‘multi-faith’ counter-demo at all. It was run and controlled by the UAF/SWP - and Jack knows this. There may have been a few InterFaithers there doing their bit for Islam and the death of Christianity. But even these gullible Anglicans and Methodists are effectively controlled by the SWP/UAF at these counter-demos against the EDL. 

Yes. They always seem to do these conferences and &#039;interfaith projects&#039; when the EDL is due to do a demo in their town or city. And when the EDL go. Then many Muslims get back to their grooming, gangsterism, drug pushing or joining militant Islamist groups. And the InterFaithers get on with congratulating each other about how pious and interfaith they are as well as slowly giving up on Christianity to embrace, more fully, the new religion that is InterFaith instead.

Then Straw mention othe &#039;community interfaith&#039; gimmicks. No matter how nice all this sounds, superficially, it’s all based on lies and little gimmicks which hide the harsh realities which people like Jack Straw and the InterFaithers simply refuse to face. That is, the problems of Islamism, the Drugs Jihad, the Grooming Jihad, the self-ghettoisation of the Muslim community and, in Blackburn’s case, the Roads Jihad in which Muslims have killed non-Muslims and tried to get away with it. No InterFaith meeting or council gimmick will hide these realities. 

Then Straw mention &#039;Asians&#039; and &#039;white&#039; mixing. The questions the EDL are raising have nothing to do with race or ‘Asians’ or ‘whites’. They are questions regarding the behaviour of a lot of Muslims acting in tune with their religion - Islam. This has nothing to do with ‘Asians’ - not Sikhs, not Hindus, not blacks, not Chinese, etc. Militant Muslims and Islamists, that’s who

Finally Straw uses the prhrase‘profound demographic change’. That’s a euphemism for Muslims taking over districts of Blackburn. It’s a euphemism for the self-ghettoisation of Muslim communities. It’s also a reference to the introduction of Sharia law in Blackburn both today and certainly much more so in less than ten to twenty years. But that won’t matter to Career Politician Straw. He’d have retired by the time his dhimmi policies have born full fruit.</description>
