Ouch. A few days ago DC was heckled by pensioners, today he's heckled by his own party members at his own general election launch.
I've just been on there. Haven't seen anything yet.

Addressing activists at the Tory spring conference in Manchester, the Prime Minister sought to cast the contest as a personal battle with Ed Miliband, accusing the Labour leader of heading a "bunch of hypocritical, holier-than-thou, hopeless, sneering socialists".
It's going to be a dirty Tory campaign.

And those were his exact words (in the above quote) - I've just heard him say it.
So the NHS has got seven days left after a Conservative election win? Sounds about right.David Cameron has admitted the General Election is on a "knife-edge" as he set out to woo voters with the promise of a "truly seven-day" NHS if the Conservatives are returned to power on May 7. (my emphasis)

Discrimination claim cases against Welsh employers have dropped 40% since the Coalition's new £1,200 charge to bring a case.
It obviously hits the lowest paid most, less likely to be able to afford to pay the fee.
My other half spent a lot of his career in human resources at a fairly high level, and he has always maintained that workers' ability to challenge at tribunal is vital to keep employers working honestly and fairly. But Tories/Lib Dems obviously disagree.

It was mentioned earlier (I think it might have been on the CiF reader's blog) that there's been surprising little reporting of those Salmond-masked Tory protesters getting a bit physical with Miliband. I've just been in a Twitter conversation about those silly paid protesters that all parties seem to send out to ruin photo ops and I mentioned it and they didn't believe me until I linked the story from the Mirror. Fair to say very few people are even aware of it.

Re: Saturday 28th & Sunday 29th March 2015
Anatoly's round up:
AnatolyKasparov wrote:Five local council byelections this week, four in Scotland (and backing up the polls to at least some extent) and one in Wales:
Vale of Glamorgan - a narrow Tory gain from the localist "Llantwit Major Independents" who have dominated this area in recent years (taking all four councillors in 2012, and 3 in 2008 and 2004 as the Tories managed to take the last seat on each occasion) with a hefty swing. They may have been helped by lower turnout, but also quite possibly by the decision of the local Indies to back a minority Labour administration on the council since the last elections. Labour in third with their share little changed, Plaid last with their share more than halved to just 3% (continuing their recent generally lacklustre showings in these contests)
Fife - that can't really be said of the SNP of course, and they continued that here with a gain from Labour on first preferences with a swing of 9% since the 2012 elections (though it was, intriguingly, only a modest change since 2007 - Nat results here last time were notably poor as a controversial SNP-led administration was voted out of office) Labour may take a crumb of comfort that their own share was down by a relatively modest 5% in an area where the SNP have traditionally been strong - they cleaned up this time in the absence of Indy and "Pensioner" candidates who polled decently three years ago. Tories third with a small increase, followed by UKIP in their first contest here and lastly the LibDems (down to barely 1%)
Western Isles (no, I'm not going to try reciting the "official" Gaelic title ) - Independent gain from Labour who did not stand this time (not an uncommon development in an area where personal votes are still very important) as they beat the SNP by roughly 3 to 2 in a straight fight. This division split 2 Independent/1 Labour in both 2007 and 2012, and much of the former Labour vote seems to have gone to the Nats, who notably improved on their foray last time even if they did not win.
Moray - SNP gain from Independent on the first round of voting, with a swing of over 17% since 2012 and some 20% since a by-election here in early 2014 in a division that split 2 Indy/1 SNP both last time and in 2007. The swing may be exaggerated by only one Independent standing this time rather than the usual assortment (as was also the case in the previous by-election) but this was still another obviously strong SNP performance. Tories third and last, but with an advance of about 5% on both 2012 and the by-election - still no Labour candidate here since 2007, even though they polled decently then.
West Lothian - SNP hold in a division which split 1 Independent/ 1 Nat/ 1 Labour in both 2012 and 2007, on both occasions an SNP councillor turned Indy topped the poll (gaining over half of first preferences last time) This time round, a different independent candidate finished third with little over 20% - both the SNP and Labour benefited from the large Indy decline, but the Nats more so; there was a swing of about 5% to them from Labour compared to both the last two contests. Tories a distant fourth but still doubling their share on last time, Greens last in their first outing here with a little over 2%.
Two contests next week, one of them on Wednesday.
Re: Saturday 28th & Sunday 29th March 2015
I'm disturbed by the encounter. I'm not surprised it occurred. Ed Miliband knows what he's getting himself into. His domestic & foreign policies are not going to be popular with some people.Spacedone wrote:It was mentioned earlier (I think it might have been on the CiF reader's blog) that there's been surprising little reporting of those Salmond-masked Tory protesters getting a bit physical with Miliband.

I'm not suggesting his recent encounter with masked assailants is in any way connected to my example of a possible unpopular policy below.
For example, it is good & just, in my opinion, he supports official recognition of Palestine & a genuine, active commitment to securing justice for the Palestinian people. This principled stance isn't typical. I've every reason to believe Ed Miliband has formed his position genuinely interested in securing greater justice for people in the world. Again, he can't be ignorant of anomosity his position may bring him.

Pollsters say Justine is the least popular of party wives. He might stick her head in the oven and turn on the gas
That Ed would kill his wife because she isn't popular enough ?

The baby badgers were in the "interesting story about the programme location" bit.yahyah wrote:tinyclanger2 wrote:There are some baby badgers on Flog It.

What are baby badgers doing at an auction ?
Edited to add: oops getting my programme mixed up, it's Bargain Hunt that is at the auction.
They weren't participating in the actual auction.

Whether it's a case of not knowing or of not caring re Justine Miliband's non-Jewishness (is that a word?), I'm sure that the motivation behind making the comment was to have a pop at Ed Miliband's Jewishness. Offensive and totally unacceptable.pk1 wrote:Does Katie Hopkins assume Justine Miliband is not Jewish or doesn't she care ?

It obviously hits the lowest paid most, less likely to be able to afford to pay the fee.
My other half spent a lot of his career in human resources at a fairly high level, and he has always maintained that workers' ability to challenge at tribunal is vital to keep employers working honestly and fairly. But Tories/Lib Dems obviously disagree.

If the trade unions are smart though, they'll point out to would be members that once they're actual members, if they are in a position where they need trbunal representation, then that's exactly what union membership would confer, assuming the case isn't rubbish. My missus has helped out hundreds of members over the years and truned desperate situations for members into ones where they get substantial payoffs, improved redundancies, damages, compensation, great retirement packages and more, knowing that she's backedup by Thompson's in Liverpool, a law firm that acts frequently for Unite and has never acted for an employer.
The Tories and FibDems are beneath contempt, and both are lower than vermin, such is their haste to side with the bosses and deny ordniary working people their rights. Contemptuous and contemptible. How anyone could consider voting for them makes me shake my head in wonderment. I do hope that Tory and FibDem voters find themselves in a future situation where they're not union members and employers ride roughshod over their rights - the ones they'd deny to others.

Fuck knows. Suffice to say that Hopkins doesn't have blood in her veins like ordinary people - she has a mixture of poison, bile and dog vomit. In a world where standards of behaviour and decency often disappoint me, she manages to generate new lows with her twisted hatred.yahyah wrote:Apart from that aspect, it is a weird comment so what is she suggesting ?pk1 wrote:Does Katie Hopkins assume Justine Miliband is not Jewish or doesn't she care ?
