		<description><![CDATA[The Labour party wont move on until it faces up to its mistakes and rejects the unsavoury characters from the New Labour years. If it doesn't then, once the Tories have fallen out of favour, we will be faced with another Labour government  wastin ti's time on spin rather than achieving objectives. In the words of Monty Python's Spanish Inquisition the Labour party need to “Confess the heinous sin of heresy”and “reject the works of the ungodly”.  ie admit that they screwed up and chuck out the likes of Balls.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingbollocks.net&blog=2000120&post=2712&subd=talkingbollocks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The TV is burbling about how the ex-Treasury Secretary, Labour's Liam Byrne, left a note for his sucessor which said: 
'Dear chief secretary, I'm afraid to tell you there's no money left.". Apparently this is in contrast to the previous Tory leader, John Major, who left a note for the incoming Prime Minister, Tony Blair, along with a bottle of champagne.

Champagne to bankruptcy. That about sum up the past 13 years!

Will the Tory/Lib Dem coalition deliver fair and efficient government? Should I be searching for a new domain name. Talking Sense perhaps?

		<description><![CDATA[Supported of Labour in the United Kingdom appear incensed that they are no longer the party of government and are condemning the Liberal Democrats for forming a coalition with the Conservatives. Words such as despicable, treachery and deceit have been used.

Labour suffered a massive drop in support and polled far fewer votes than the Conservatives. The Labour party, Gordon Brown and the rag tag bunch of nobodies that formed the last cabinet are widely disliked throughout the country yet they now behave as if they have been cheated of power.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingbollocks.net&blog=2000120&post=2440&subd=talkingbollocks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the 21st Century British cabinet members appear as if out of nowhere. Like Star Trek’s Mr. Spock, Peter Mandelson fiddles with the controls and yet another cloned version of himself shimmers into life. Another yes man who can “send the right message” but not “do the right thing”.

A review of the education and work experience of cabinet ministers is enlightening. Unsurprisingly few of the cabinet are “doers”. Most have worked in occupations such as Think Tanks, Public Relations, Lobby Group or Advertising and many of the senior cabinet figures have previously worked for an incumbent MP.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingbollocks.net&blog=2000120&post=2285&subd=talkingbollocks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Speakers Corner has been criticised in the past for being shabby, noisy and lacking facilities but now, according to our source, the area is due for a face lift costing up to £330 million. A facelift to make it fit for the 21st Century!
 
The plans provide for an area of around half a mile in the north east corner of Hyde Park to be paved and cordoned off from the rest of Hyde Park. Covered seating will be installed to make the venue a year round attraction and a new exit will be built for Marble Arch underground station. The new development will improve access from the west end of Oxford Street and wheel chair access and toilets will be provided.
The area west of Speakers Corner has been allocated for parking and a visitors centre containing shops and restaurants is to be constructed along the east side of Hyde Park running down Park Lane.

		<description><![CDATA[Tony Blair believed in privatisation because he had seen that this strategy had worked for Thatcher. Tony Blair understood nothing. He believed fanatically in privatisation the same way that a convert to becomes bound up with the rules and not the spirit of their chosen religion. The same way that ex-patriots fein obsession with the minutia of their home county.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingbollocks.net&blog=2000120&post=2178&subd=talkingbollocks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It may seem right that the Tories get attacked for this but we all know that this sort of thing goes on and I would like to remind everyone that it was New Labour who pledged to reform the House of Lords. In practice this reform amounted to doing away with the hereditary principle and promoting the sort of back street dealing that is the traditional path for Life Peers. Lord Ashcrof's appointment would not have happened if Tony Blair had not made a balls up of House of Lords reform.

This morning we were told that Michael Foot has died. As the media is reporting, Mr. Foot was an old style Labour politicians. A socialist and a man of principle.

The fear must now must be that traditional Labour supporters will recall fondly the honestly and integrity of Michael Foot and, in misty eyed desperation, decide that Gordon Brown best reflects those same characteristics. It could be that the electorate hand the government of the country to the very man who betrayed Labour's principles and plunged the country into the worst mess since Denis Healey was forced to go begging to the IMF in 1976.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingbollocks.net&blog=2000120&post=2170&subd=talkingbollocks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since the essence of the scientific method is to disprove an assertion rather than to prove it I would like to see a separate scientific body created with a mission to 

Disprove the assertion that climate change will effect humanity in any significant way
Disprove the assertion that climate change is man made
Disprove that climate change exists<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingbollocks.net&blog=2000120&post=1693&subd=talkingbollocks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
