Then the ones that know their jobs are going to be safe will be free to vote Tory if they wish. My guess is that about 2million public sector jobs will have to go to balance the books, which probably means 4 million votes lost to Labour. However, if the Tories are careful to select those people to go that are likely to vote Labour anyway, then those might be the ONLY votes Labour get.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187043.post-22939603706961609482009-10-17T11:39:46.613+00:002009-10-17T11:39:46.613+00:00"individuals will be encouraged to act as com..."individuals will be encouraged to act as community champions or tenants and have a bigger say in local issues."<br /><br />Spies, dupes, agent provocateurs, traitors then<br /><br />As per established practice<br /><br />http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/oct/16/anti-terrorism-strategy-spies-innocentsSgt Troynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187043.post-19488310574189653642009-10-17T10:24:38.233+00:002009-10-17T10:24:38.233+00:00"chucking large amounts of CO2 into the air i..."chucking large amounts of CO2 into the air is not a wise thing to do without knowing the possible consequences.
