Who cares if cutting the number of MP’s costs less? I just want smaller government so to me less MP’s can only be a good thing. If you want MORE government Mr.S you are truly in a minority!

Regarding Forgemasters PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE (I have been asking for weeks now dude) tell me why they can’t just go to the banks like every other company? Why not? The government isn’t a bank, it’s a government.

Tell me why you want to give hard earned taxpayers money to a private company, that by coincidence I’m sure (Yeah right…) was one an ex government minister worked in for 20 years…

Don’t you think the £80million would be better spent on schools rather than lining the pockets of the Forgemaster’s management?

And Forgemasters was not a grant; it was a lone, presumably to be repaid over a certain period. And that would have helped to create private sector employment.

And since we list some of those things you do at the end.

I do not support 90-day detention, but think we need control orders.

I am in 2 minds about ID cards.

I supported the Iraq War based on evidence available at the time.

And I do not support the coalition’s blatent gerrymandering with regard to cutting the number of MPs. It will not, as they claim, ‘cut the cost of politics.’

The BSF program was a nightmare – one school had a meeting every week for over two years just to get approved – typical New Labour quango type silliness – those days are mercifully gone now.

The money will now go further without the bureaucracy that has been cut and if there is no money left blame Labour.

It’s like Forgemasters Mr.S – Labour had no right to go around promising money they didn’t have – it was taxpayers money, not theirs. What is worse is that Forgemasters won’t go to the bank for the money and Richard Caborn, who worked there for 20 years set up the deal – that stinks.

Answer me this Mr.Sensible. As a lifelong Labour voter (until Brown was forced on the party) I never agreed with 90 days detention, ID cards, Iraq (for the reasons given only – not the war)the 10p tax fiasco, the Bin Tax, the Labour job’s tax via NI, HIP’s, decreasing the number of MP’s, a proportional voting system, increase in tax on cider and the Gurkahs.

The coalition has answered and acted on every single item I just listed.

My guess is the public in Britain agree with the coalition on these matters, yet the Labour Party, led by that hypocritical countess toff, Harriet Harman, continue to argue for increasing prison sentences and more state control.

Labour is on the wrong side of the curve I’m afraid (as you yourself appear to be) and the sooner the leadership starts to get it the better for general opposition in this country…

If there’s no money for Building Schools for the Future, where is the money for these new ‘Free Schools?’
