A few gems from our rancid bought off media before Election Day. After the election debate ‘youguv’' released a poll which declared Cameron a clear winner; one of this morning’s papers exposes them as having set the poll up to talk to targeted people who fitted the Tory profile e.g. well off; home owners; well paid; residential areas; who would have thunk it? The Sun withdrew its financial offer to Mrs. Duffy because she refused to say she would swap her vote to the Tories. A poll was dropped when it came up with the result that over 50% of people in Rochdale regarded the Mrs. Duffy incident as a “storm in a teacup” A poll after the debate showed a huge support for Brown stating he had dominated Cameron and Clegg on the economy and plans for stability; analysis of the poll showed that the swell of support for Brown came mainly from Scots. The majority of those who fitted the Tory profile however from out with Scotland carried it for Cameron; Brown at the debate was using a crib sheet; so was Cameron and Clegg. Sky News chose to sneak behind Brown’s back and film it ignoring Cameron and Clegg doing the same; they turned this in to another attack on Brown.
Yesterday the media were sidelined by a huge gathering called by ‘Citizens UK’ Sky and the BBC and others were allowed to film it but not organise it they had no input nor did the press or radio; they were forced to show it without bias or any dirty anti Brown tricks; result? Had it been a fight the referee would have “thrown in the towel” to save the two novices Cameron and Clegg further punishment. Brown was for some reason released and on fire; he took the roof off making Cameron and Clegg look like 5th. formers at their first school debate; they literally trembled before his passion and anger and the crowd roared him on to a standing ovation at the end; there was no need to do an exit poll here and the corrupt media have been reduced to trying to keep it as quite as they can today. This is the media who label politicians as corrupt!
The only ones who can expose this fraud which dominates our media are the guilty ones; the media themselves and with very few exceptions that is not about to happen; this is Murdochism just like we had McCarthyism in America and a Tory victory will make it worse; the dirty digger has done a deal with the dirty Tories and he will demand his reward if the Tories win. Perhaps students of politics will; sometime in the future write papers about the manipulation of the election debates and the corrupt polling which produced the ludicrous result of Gordon Brown last in each one; the fact that so many people were willing to accept that farce rather than challenge the methods being used is very worrying indeed; it demonstrates the power that sleazy journalism has.
Everything Brown has done and said in the past 3 weeks has been met with an orchestrated and predetermined chorus of abuse insult and derision. He is still standing though and still fighting despite the onslaught of vicious media attacks. The British like to see themselves as a fair people and the treatment meted out to the Prime Minister might just backfire on his tormenters. Think of the malignant attack mounted by the ‘Sun’ who else? over the hand written letter he sent to the bereaved mother of a young soldier that backfired spectacularly on the gutter Murdoch journalists; most people accepted Brown’s sincerity and they were left looking like malevolent backbiting frauds. It could happen again in fact I detect that it has already started to happen as people say “hold on here this has gone far enough; time to look at policies and bin this vicious nonsense it is embarrassing the whole country”
For all the attacks on the PM a proper analysis shows them to be mainly counterfeit; Clegg and Cameron can mumble away inanely repeating their sound bites like ‘change’ and ‘old politics’ safe in the knowledge that the right wing press will damage the PM enough to avoid them having to take him on about policy; is this what the British voter really wants? Does it matter that he doesn’t have the social skills of his rivals; is his smile that important? Do you want a ‘Bob Monkhouse’ Prime Minister with a smile like a game show host; or someone who has genuine substance a man of honesty; drive and integrity who believes in fairness for all? It’s either one of two rich privileged silver spoon charlatans who will rule on behalf of the elite or a man who will fight for a fair deal for all no matter what background a person comes from? Remember the Tories past and remind anyone who is too young to remember; it has to be LABOUR and GORDON BROWN.

Yes, I will be voting Labour and Gordon Brown as well because I want to spend £10,000,000,000 on new nuclear bombs.

There are lots of people whom I cannot stand but probably the most repellent are those who for political reasons will use anything to damage someone. I don’t accept for one minute that you are sincere; if it wasn’t nuclear arms you would find something else, I don’t trust anonymous people who say they vote on a single issue.
.....and for anyone thinking of voting Tory on Thursday read this

Fraudulent media? Compared to Robert Maxwell, owner of Mirror Group, Labour MP, Pension Thief, Bully and Employer of Alastair Campbell, Murdoch is the Man in the White Hat.
Thinking about it, comparing Brown to Maxwell gives a closer match.
I will be voting Labour as well because I want to support the war in Iraq and Afganistan and see us kill lots more innocent local woman and children.
Let's send lots more soldiers to their deaths and injure and maim hundreds more.
Hope we can invade Iran soon and sort them out as well. Good on you Tony and Gordon. Keep it up.
Vote Labour and help make this hole we're been digging for the past 13 years even deeper! I think not.
What the hell do you care how much the UK is in debt - you're 61 and it's not you who'll be paying it back. I mean that with respect but like honestly it's scary what the future holds in this country and voting labour will only be doing NOTHING about the mess they've left us in.
I AM RAGING with your labour party.
One question: I don't understand how you call yourself a Socialist and are in the Labour party...the Labour party's not socialist...Why don't you grow some balls and join the socialist party, that's where they keep people like you, safe and locked away in an bubble with like-minded friends who'll never get voted in. OR is it that you (I have just seen that you're in RENFREW I mentioned that place earlier and am aware it's a Labour stronghold) is it that you so dearly yearn for power that you're willing to hop over onto the Labour machine in Renfrew for an easy ride to the top? You don't seem a very "safe" or balanced guy...just judging from some of the nasty comments you've made about me on here...I was engaging in serious conversation but you keep calling me a racist only because I said I believed in Independence.
Well I better go, I will be back my friend :D PS good luck (gritting teeth) for the election 2moro...(are you standing?). Here's hoping the SNP make some advances :)

A good example of the treatment about to be dished out to those less fortunate all over the country.

Your naivety in these matters goes some way to explain what happened last night.

There seems to be a pattern about people like you; quite simply I find those who are prepared to use the deaths of innocent people; children, soldiers and people injured for political capital utterly beneath contempt.
What is 'beneath contempt' is that you support and promote a party which has carried out war crimes on the men, woman and children of several countries in past few years.
TK,
I just read the article by Johann Hari: "Welcome to Cameron land". I'm sorry to read that the Tories have gone in for the compassionate Conservatives foolishness that was tried here. The fact is that compassionate conservatism is neither compassionate nor conservative, but rather savors of Big Government militarism. The approach lacks the merits of a well considered social safety net for the weak, while also lacking any fiscal discipline that one would hope that a true conservative would have (I speak from the perspective of a American conservative affiliated with the Republican party). The net effect is that if the Tories follow the model of the self styled "compassionate Conservatives", then the government will be far from lean and effective, and legitimate social programs are not managed as if the powers in charge care about them.
I don't see enough common ground between the Tories and the Lib-Dems for a long-term government. The Lib-Dems didn't do well enough for a permanent spot as a substantial coalition partner. Do you think that the UK electorate is worried enough about EU issues to support the Tories long term?
Dr. Brown strikes me as a rather resilient fellow, and I would expect him to be back at it soon. Have you heard weather he will be in leadership after he steps down as PM?
Sorry you guys got banged-up a bit. It hurts, but in the case of recent examples over here, defeat clarifies the issues.
Best Wishes

Terry, are you claiming Maxwell was straight as a a die? A man you would be happy to go into the jungle with?
Funny how you don't find it beneath contempt for your own Labour party to murder innocent people for political capital in the London Bombings.
Then again people like you do not care - all you care about is yourself and your wee cult English-funded party. Nothing more, nothing less!

I argued against the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and voted against them and demonstrated against them at every opportunity; you are using the war deaths, injuries for your own gain and that is beneath contempt, you are quite a specimen.

The Tories will not display much compassion unless they are forced to it just isn’t them. I don’t know what Brown will do if the Tories form a Government, whether he will resign as Labour leader or not, I suspect he will. As far as I am concerned he still stands head and shoulders above any other politician in the UK and he does that with ease.
I note that you favour an American Party the GOP which is being overrun by the knuckle dragging bible thumping gun toting “Tea Bag” protestors led by Alaska’s own Annie Oakley the dangerous halfwit Palin, I appreciate your best wishes but should you really be offering anyone advise?
Welcome back Billy, how was your trip to Mars this time, are your Martian friends well? That's one hell of a theory they sold you about the London bombings, they are obviously like you; seekers after justice and truth; keep up the good work.
TK,
Good to hear from you and I appreciate your comments. In the U.S. as I'm sure you know, there are really two parties that are relevant, the Democrats and the Republicans, and sometimes choosing between the two is like choosing between being shot or being run over by a car. Small parties like Greens, Libertarians and the like have no chance, and unfortunately backing their candidates tantamount to throwing away your vote. For the voter choosing between the Dems and the GOP is in essence choosing between collections of interest groups sponsors. While I am philosophically much closer to the Libertarians, a vote for the Republicans (and their sponsors) is somewhat less abhorrent than a vote for the Democrats and their sponsors.
As for Sarah Palin, she has taken it upon herself to front a number of Tea Party rallies. The lefties over here has depicted her as the Caribou Barbie Doll. The smart lefties don't believe that stuff, but it could make for effective propaganda. Palin is extremely ambitious and shrewd, but without much Big League experience; characteristics shared with our current President too. It remains to be seen if she will sharpen-up on foreign policy. If she does, then she could be a formidable political player in the U.S. If she choses to do TV shows and make a lot of formulaic speeches, her name will probably be the answer to a lot of trivia questions.
Catch you later,

The wonders of modern communications make it impossible to suggest that we here in the UK don’t know about American politics we now live in a global political village.
This applies with a vengeance when it comes to Palin; she is a cretin but with enough cunning to know that if she behaves as her manipulators tell her she will finish up filthy rich. Comparing her with Obama is I’m afraid risible; perhaps you missed her debate with Biden or her interview with Katie Couric.
