Land Rover and Labour

Hello Gang.
Just read in LRO an article about Labour and British Leyland
in 1977 and backdoor dealings. The Daily Mail at the time revealed how
Labour knew of British Leyland bribing foreign governments. Due to
Labour pressure the Daily Mail were made to climbdown and resulted in
payouts. Make you wonder what our present parasite in power is doing.

yes, excellent statement, even more amusing when you remember that
last year Dubya said exactly the same thing.... hmm, interesting
pattern emerging here.....

So here we have two of the worlds biggest political leaders, both of
whose countries have suffered terror attacks by Islamic
fundamentalists, saying that the Christian God told them to invade
Iraq. And we wonder why we have problems with muslims spreading the
word to fight against us....

I mean, its not like the Middle East is the most stable of regions
anyway, with all the religious hatred that the Muslims have for the
Jews, and the fact that we helped create Israel along with the
merkins... and we wonder why we are still having problems in Iraq....

As the weeks go on, less and less people seem to be willing to admit
for voting Mr Bliar into his position

elections ago "Could the last person to leave Britain turn out the

The Sun, 9 April 1992, when Neil Kinnock was ahead in the polls for the
forthcoming election.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_general_election,_1992:

"On the morning of polling day, The Sun newspaper (which had consistently
supported the Conservatives throughout the campaign, except in Scotland) had
published a controversial front page with the headline "If Kinnock wins
today, will the last person to leave Britain please turn out the lights."
Many commentators believed that this caused a late swing to the
Conservatives sufficient to overcome Labour's poll lead. The Sun certainly
thought so and their story on the election results was headlined "It's the
Sun wot won it." Tony Blair also accepted this theory of Labour's defeat and
has put considerable effort into securing the Sun's support for New Labour,
both as Leader of the Opposition before the 1997 general election and as
Prime Minister afterwards."

I seem to remember Paul Daniels and Michael Winner threatening to
leave the country if Labour got in, which was probably worth 5
percentage points to Tony as well....
