This wouldn’t have happened under Blair

Who’s ever idea it was to campaign in Crewe and Nantwich dressed up as “toffs” in tailcoats and top hats should immediately be sacked by the Labour party. Given that this is such a crucial campaign in fact, I am surprised that Brown has not intervened himself… then again I think the cross party consensus is that he should be sacked anyway. You can be sure this would not have happened under Blair.

Focus on the issues

Whoever the dimwit was who came up with idea clearly is so out of touch with reality that they shouldn’t be in charge of their own sleeping arrangements let alone the government’s local election campaign. What are the big issues at the moment? The 10p tax rate has peed off a few people, the credit crunch, the Northern Rock crisis, 42 day detention, incompetent leadership of government, the list goes on. So what are these puerile goons doing? Dressing up as a bunch of pratts acting like a bunch of pratts.

Crass and Childish

Do they not realise that people are seeing see Labour party officials acting in a crass and childish manner, not Tories. They don’t think – “Ahhh, you know what? The government may have cocked up just about every major decision in the past six months and are now acting like a bunch of buffoons, but at least they aren’t toffs”. No. They think, you guys have had one too many chances and the best you can do is make a cheap and irrelevant joke about the opposition?

It is Labour who is out of touch with the masses, not the so called toffs

Did these people not see Boris steal the Mayoral election from Livingstone, who had it in the bag until he started to call Boris names and embark on similar tactics? Worry about your own campaign, it is in need of much concern after all. The fact is people see politicians as a class above us the rest of us anyway regardless of party affiliation. The days of working class heroes running the Labour party elite are gone. Right now it is the 10p tax abolishing, out of touch Labour party who have really upset the working classes, not David Cameron. Do they not see the irony here? Far from the so called toffs being the problem for the working classes, it is the decisions of the government in the past few months that have hit them hardest.

Pathetic

The real problem for Labour is that while Dave is an old Etonian of vast privilege and wealth he is still seen as far more in touch with the electorate than anything the Labour party has to offer right now. Puerile, unimaginative, name calling campaigns that do not address the concerns of the electorate is the best this government has to offer? Pathetic.
