Chris – Public forum. People watching. You telling lies and smearing people. Sound familiar? You said none of the following wasn’t true so let’s try again:

1. Ed Miliband, the multi millionaire Labour leader, wrote the Labour manifesto.
2. Which said; “Housing Benefit will be reformed so we do not subsidise people to live in private sector accommodation on rents working families couldn’t afford”
3. Alistair Darling stated he was going to implement cuts “Deeper than Margaret Thatcher”

Once again you have been found wanting in a public forum. You have been unmasked as dishonest and deceitful and should head over to Labourlist where your unintelligent opinions may be more appreciated.

Left Foot Forward is not a groupthink blog Chris. Now get back to your classroom before the teacher notices you’re missing and stop being rude in public forums…

hahahahahahaha
