New Labour Party Party Broadcast: Cameron's Conservatives

Mendacious

MrB

We can't leave critical comments on the YouTube video since each one has to be "approved" by party workers.  What a difference to the Tories who let their videos be rated and commented upon freely. 

It's a very sinister PPB, full of "Brownies".  I notice that the young guy at the start is said to have been "previously long-term unemployed".  He only looks old enough to have been of working age during Labour's administration anyway...an example of Labour's failed new deal in their own PPB?  The student says that the money DC would allegedly "cut" from "crime-fighting" budgets is the equivalent of 3500 policemen.  The implication here being that he'll cut police numbers.  I expect that the money she says would be cut could easily be raised through savings such as reduced red-tape.

Anyway, rant over.  I think the punchbag is actually symbolic of Gordon Brown being clobbered by DC.  Brown certainly looks like he's been in a punchbag of late!

easy

shocking, totally shocking, wrong on so many levels....just goes to show that labour have nothing to say.

Yes! Well said.

Let's not forget that there are STILL over a MILLION of our poorest people who are suffering under Labours 10p tax fiasco despite Gordon Browns U turn which was supposed to have helped them.

Another LABOUR LIE.

jo

Why the punch bag?  This is quite sinister and scarey.  And complete nonsense too. 

Desperate Dan

Its like The Joker trying to discredit Superman.  

Jackie Miller

This is all so negative. There is nothing - but nothing - about what Labour would do, only - allegedly - about what Cameron would do.  It shows only how scared of Cameron Labour now is.

Silent Hunter

Well that should go down well with the remaining Labour voters - what a shame there are so few of them left. LOL

They also forgot to mention that Tory Toffs Eat Babies and fornicate with your grandmothers.

If this is the best that the Corrupt Labour Party can come up with - I predict they may, if they're very lucky, be able to form the Third Party after the election.

The Vectensis

A delicious own goal.

Oh dear.........smells like 1979 again......

Typical Labour crap.  "If we can at least scare some people from voting Conservative that will be a job well done."  Its like one of those burglar alarm sales reps who first try to scare you with accounts of break ins etc then try to sell you an over expensive alarm.  At least in that case if you fall for the bull you get an alarm which has a use.  If you fall for this Labour crap you still get shafted but the end product is totally usless as well.

People have more about them than to fall for cheap stunts.

Mr Angry

Nice to see a positive message for a change eh?

It would appear that the Reds don't actually have any policies to boast about or promote and so feel the need for negative campaining - they really must think that we, the lowly common people, are truly thick as bricks!

Woeful

Mike

I have voted Labour all my life but that PPB is so dark, menacing, lacking any vision or solutions to our problems that I will never in a million years vote for a party which has run out of our money, run out of ideas and run the country into bankrupcy. "Labour", most of them have never done a days labour in their lives and those that do graduate from the shop and townhall floors, quickly learn all the pocket lining tricks, troughing and flipping. What a bunch of scum.
