(not satire – it’s Boris Johnson!)
He lied.
Before his re-election, when asked whether he was planning to cut London’s fire services, Boris Johnson rather testily – but very clearly – denied it:
I am in favour of retaining the 27 fire appliances and all front line operatives…There shouldn’t be a reduction in the fire appliances… I don’t want to get rid of them, what’s the problem?
But now – surprise surprise – we discover Johnson has agreed to close 10 fire stations, axe 14 fire engines, slash 552 frontline firefighting jobs and remove two rescue units.
Which means cuddly Boris broke his promise.
Or to put it another way, the real reason he broke his promise is because he’s a deceitful, deceptive, delusive, dissembling, double-crossing, double-dealing, equivocating, misinforming, oily, perfidious, shifty, slippery, soft-soaping, treacherous, two-faced, bullshitting liar.
Simple.

A politician who lied? I find that very difficult to believe!
You’ll be trying to tell me that Blair has made a multi millon pound fortune by selling out the working class who he was supposed to be representing and by licking Yank arse when he was prime minister next!

Frankly, “He lied’/”They’re liars” is what the LP should be saying and they don’t need a Lynton Crosby/Jim Messon to tell them how to do that! Osborne’s performance on the radio this lunchtime was just a farago of outrageous lies.. we should be complaining every time to the BBC at the complete absence of challenge.

The problem is that the white working class have been disenfranchised because of New Labour’s betrayal.
The ‘have not’s’ have had the rug pulled from under them and the so-called middle ground policies of New Labour enabled the process to take place.
Ordinary working people who still have a job are beginning to consider voting for a right wing party in their desperation to preserve what they’ve got, because their rates of pay, working conditions and standard of living have been undermined by the flood of cheap flexible migrant labour.
Blair and Brown caused this situation whereby workers are prepared to watch the Tories dismantle the welfare state and to villify and marginalse the ‘have nots’ because their own security is under threat.
Millibands Labour have not been an effective opposition and Milliband is about as much use as Kinnock.

Aynuck’s rewriting of history is terrific -before New Labour there never was any discrimination or oppression of working people, the elites tended to look after everybody and all was well – can we have a blog story about him/her/it soon, please?

Reblogged this on Ned Hamson Second Line View of the News and commented:
Boris is also a dolt and thinks other services will bail out London if there is a big fire, the smaller force cannot handle.

Of course there was discrimination, exploitation and oppression of working people before new labour, the Trade Union movement did all that they could to oppose such exploitation and Labour MPs stood up for the workers rights and made workers voices heard.
That was until Blair, Mandelson and Brown came along and turned the Labour party into Tory Lite while they flooded the country with cheap immigrant labour to ensure that their new best mates became even richer while workers rights were eroded.
