It's a collusion in deception with the Electorate though.

Firstly, there a re huge swathes who vote the same way as they've always done and therefore can be taken for granted. I've always been in constituencies that have a solid majority for one party so my democratic effect has been negligible in my lifetime. Point being, you can take these people for a ride and they just stare out the windows (or lick them, more likely).

Then you've got this charade that we can have decent public services, armed forces, no potholes in the roads without having to pay for them. Any candidate approaching this issue with honesty wouldn't get a sniff of power.

We can't even speak honestly. We are allowed to say 'Asian Rape Gangs' (which they are not) but not 'Muslim Rape Gangs' (which they are). Colonise language, tell people which words they can and cannot use, irrespective of context (Folks I give you the phrase 'The 'N' word' used extensively by grown adults) and you end up dancing on a pinhead discussing syntax rather than homelessness and literacy levels.

Nick Clegg's political career ended when the Liberal's had to support the introduction of tuition fees in a coalition government where they were the minor party. Instead of apologising he should have fronted it up and gone 'Honestly? This is real-politik. If you wanted free tuition you should have voted for us in larger numbers. You didn't and so I'm having to retain some degree of honour by taking collective responsibility for this policy.' Honesty - which I would have respected but he'd rather apologise.

I think Abbots plan was not to have 10,000 from day one, but 10,000 at year four.  e.g. 1,000 extra year one, 2,000 extra year two, 3,000 extra year three, 4,000 extra year four.

That way they can say 10,000 extra police and say a relatively small budget( whatever it was she finally come up with!)   Of course, the ongoing cost would be great after year four.

I am not sure she has the brain to remember that though.

Good stuff roger.

One issue I'd take though which does in fact reinforce your point....Clegg's career is NOT finished and neither is Blair's or Osbourne's and neither is Alistair Campbell's..

They continue to get air time, peddling their garbage.  They're front and centre of debate and so their profile increases leading to new jobs and even greater income and so the merry go round of idiots spouting lies continues..

Shadow Home Secretary has been paid more than £110,000 in licence fee payers' money for her political knowledge on the BBC's This Week at £700 an appearance since 2003.

Ms Abbott is also in demand as a speaker – earning thousands more for appearing at literary festivals and corporate events.

She also earned £4,000 from speaking on a Thomson Reuters panel in the aftermath of the last election and £500 for taking part in the Selfridges Beauty Project'.

In 2014, Ms Abbott was paid £2,000 for speaking at a 'Citywealth Power Women lunch' in January; £1,000 for making a speech at a 'diversity event' that same month; £2,500 plus expenses for speaking at a 'Women in Politics' event in Jersey in July and £2,000 to talk at the BNP Paribas-sponsored black history event in October.

Abbots has just released a statement saying her figures are correct.

Mike Ashley is being put in charge of the pay structure Laugh.

1 in every 10 working people in the UK looks like they will be police officers Laugh, like the way she tried to blame him for mentioning 250,000 too.

I wouldn't trust her to count her fingers and thumbs correctly, never mind putting her in charge of anything.

Flabbott is at it again:

https://order-order.com/2017/05/05/new-diane-abbott-maths-fail-local-elections-special/

Diane Abbott is asked by ITN if she knows how Labour are doing in the local elections:

Reporter: Do you know the number of net losses so far for Labour?

Diane Abbott: At the time of doing this interview I think the net losses are about 50.

Reporter: There are actually 125 net losses so far.

Abbott: Well the last time I looked we had net losses of about 100 but obviously this is a moving picture.


Expect Diane to be asked a numbers question every single time she’s near a reporter until June 8…

Abbott on Countdown.

Numbers chosen 100, 25, 10, 6, 5, 1, target 621.

Abbott's solution 100 x 10 then divide by 25 x 6 and add 5 + 1.

There you go 621 if I'm not mistaken.

Its utterly astonishing that she has any position of responsibility in the Labour party, in fact its astonishing she can hold down any kind of job at all. She`s an imbecile, who is so far up her own aSS its untrue. Utterly unemployable in my opinion. The latest car crash is just another in a long line,  - Chairman Mao - despite killing zillions - being a force for "good"..... West Indian Mums better than any other Mums and given the chance to change that she wouldnt....the free taxi rides you and I have been paying for her to get home.....how whitey likes to play divide and rule.....how comprehensive schools are the best for everybody, but Im sending mine to private schools....Im a traditional Labour voter, and have never voted Tory, but this vile wretched person has given me no choice but to vote Tory or abstain

Yes it will be a Tory landslide ;when the chips are down the great majority of people in this country are prepared to vote sensibly;they can recognise a dead duck when they see it. The Labour party will come back in one form or another and as soon as they replace the present shambolic leadership with someone like Hilary Benn at the helm they can start to rebuild themselves .It's not that long ago that the Conservatives lost the plot and quite rightly were punished by the electorate and yet they came back.....everything in life just goes round in circles.

I daren't write my views on Abbott as someone would undoubtedly get me banned and i'm on a 'last chance' having been accused of a racist comment when Yaya Toure threw his toys out of the pram when Man City 'dissed' him by not giving him a big enough birthday present.Oh for a successor to Enoch Powell and an end to political correctness.A spade is a spade,not a shovel.

Have to agree with your post posy,they take turns being useless and then recover to be less useless and back into government. It does worry me that Labour can be so bad and not understand where they are just now. Hague and IDS spring to mind in a similar state.
