OK, enough is enough.

Last year, someone did a calculation that showed that Labour is FAR sleazier than the Tories ever were, on both a personal and financial level.
As if we needed a calculation to show that! I only have 10 gigabytes of webspace, so I can’t list ALL the sleaze and corruption, but today is fairly representative of New Labour. Not content with waving through thousands of criminal immigrants which they were told by the immigration service should NOT be let in, this year, they’ve decided to let out and not deport 1,023 foreign prisoners who should have been deported. Not content with that, Clarke said in an interview this morning that after he was told about it, only a “very very few” were released. That very very few turned out to be 288. Does 288 from 1,023 sound like a “very very few”, or does it sound like Labour Lies?

The comments page on the BBC News site has some good points, here are three:

• Why do we keep voting for such an underhand, mendacious bunch of incompetents?
• Foreigners shouldn’t be jailed in UK in the first place as keeping them in jail is a complete waste of taxpayers’ money. Instead, they should be immediately deported back to their own country to be tried and detained.
• Criminals released, yobs on the streets, crumbling NHS, manufacturing on its knees, soaring house prices, education standards deteriorating, economy slipping, gridlocked roads, asylum laws in chaos, queues for dentists, a whole chav underclass created in 10 years, ministers in denial…Some of the reasons why I’m emigrating next year.

While we’re on the subject of terrible people, nice to see the awful Patricia Hewitt taking a beating at the RCN conference.

Ooh, and Kinnock’s been banned for speeding today.

Ooh, and Prescott admits having an affair.

What was that slogan you used in the 1997 election, Tony? “No more sleaze”?

Roll on the 4th May Local Elections…

*FOAD - acronym for Fuck Off and Die.
