    No they're not. They're libertarian lite.

    I remember meeting Jennie Lee in 1974. She turned up in this big black limousine, dripping in gold bling and being cheered to the rafters by all these raggy-arsed scousers who were telling me what a great man her husband was. I looked at these people who obviously didn't have a bean. Scuffed shoes, unkempt hair, holes in their trousers and then looked at Baroness Leee with her perfect hair/teeth/nails and Channel Couture clothing.

    They were telling me how she was of the people, from the people and for the people. I looked at Mrs. Bevan again and even I as a 14 year old schoolboy could see something wasn't quite right here.

    BTW this was long before Thatcher and those scousers are still raggy-arsed and poor.

    Socialism is the biggest con ever perpetrated on the working classes.

    Can you get back on topic? This is about the emotive statement school of politics. Not a free run for random drive by bon mottes on socialism.

    But then it's not common.

    "Common sense" in politics is code for "my unchallenged prejudices".

    Why don't you go the whole hog and call me racist? After all that's what the left do to stifle debate.

    I don't understand what you are trying to get at here IP. Idaho claims that the right wing relies too much on emotional responses as a basis for policy, and all you have done is get inflamed and make emotive statements. It's as if you just read the title and are just assuming that the whole OP is a big attack on you personally.

    I create a thread attacking the tory fact-free policy-on the hoof approach. Your response is to leap to their defence and make a few random, off topic stabs, whilst claiming to not be a tory. Then out of thin air your declare that you have been accused of racism. I can see why Ukip appeals to you. Their rambling incoherence must make you feel right at home.
