NuLabour Talking Tough?

The Labour Party is now talking tough about making wasters and lazy fuckers get a job or be denied a council house. But is this just a cynical ploy to counter popular policy imitatives by the Tories? Do they really mean it? After all, apart from a huge swath of middleclass people and asylum seekers, scroungers and wasters are the Labour party?s main supporters.

It's bullshit, it'll never happen. NuLab sometimes talk tough on shit like this, but never do anything. Do you seriously think they will start evicting doleites because they can't get a job? Sink estates are NuLabs client constituency, they will never do anything like this, it's just a ploy to get a few column inches in the Daily Mail.

A bit like Dave' why is this limo following me' Cameron's "Green" policy Robches you mean?
The reality is all politicians do blah blah's its what puts most off the subject.
Sink estates may well have been Labour's client constituency but not anymore ALL Politicians from every party are in it for the same thing MONEY
This is one of the latest Tory stories up here:
I've said it time and again those of you who keep harping on about your version of NULabour need to have a look at the pricks you seem to want in.
I am not saying they are brilliant they aren't they are crap on a lot of things but NUConservatives will be just as bad.

I've heard something similar before from NuLab about "cracking down" on people on benefit. This time they're only asking for council and local housing association tenants to sign a pledge to seek employment. In practice (if these proposals ever come to fruition) that'll mean no change to the current situation.

Provocative for the sake of it, Dibbs...I nearly didn't reply because of the last line.
The Labour Party has always been tough on the parasites who leech from the working class- but perhaps they haven't shouted loud enough about it before.

"I've said it time and again those of you who keep harping on about your version of NULabour need to have a look at the pricks you seem to want in."
Just because someone points out an obvious absurdity from a NuLab apparatchik, why do you assume they want the other lot in? It is possible to hate them both you know.
As it happens, I shall probably support the NuCons in the next election though. This is because:
1) It is not healthy to let one party be in charge for too long;
2) The NuLab government is composed of duds who are just not up to the job;
3) Gordon Brown is a complete fucking cunt;
4) I don't want an ID slave card linked to the database state thank you very much.
It is sometimes said that oppositions do not win elections, governments lose them, and that is 100% how I feel about it right now.

Is that your attempt at an objective statement? Next time you take dictation from Tory Central Office, make it a little less obvious.
