Power cut knocks Miliband off-air mid-speech A live broadcast of Ed Miliband's Labour party conference speech fell off the airwaves when a power failure cut him off mid-sentence. The political get-together, held in Liverpool, was being shown on Sky.com and on BBC TV – but the video streams cut out for approximately 10 minutes just before 3pm BST. According to Sky …
That all politicians and (political) civil servants (i.e. not the ones who do real work, you know, the ones who sit on committees and 'groups' etc) are next to face licensing and have the most stringent entry requirements, are required to face pubic scrutiny every year in order to renew their license, are held to the highest standard of ethics, face the most severe punishment for every and any professional misconduct (I don't care what they do in their personal life as long as it doesn't affect their ability to do their job), their income is capped at twice the national average and they are not allowed to have other jobs or sit on boards etc. Pay for their own pensions (above and beyond the state pension like the rest of us), pay their own travel costs unless travelling on business (i.e. they have to pay to get to work like the rest of us) etc etc...
So this is either proof that:
Ed Miliband is a robot controlled by someone else (Blair / Brown / Balls / take your pick).
Or, that he's a Terminator sent from the future in order to instigate the Rise of the Machines [tm]!
Enquiring minds would like to know.
To be fair, whoever his overlords are, they are at least polite. When he was at the Treasury, the Blairites called him the emissary from the planet fuck. Because he was the only one of Gordon Brown's team who could complete a sentence without swearing at someone.
labour god almighty they spend spend spend and then they blame the conservative for cuts get a grip labour. i watched most of this conference and good god almighty they got sucked in to a load of bull he says he would cut tuition fees from 9000 to 6000 haha more like keep it at 9000. if people seriously believe in labour there as stupid as they are. we should be spending money on sensible things like broadband homes roads etc not wasting it on stupid quangos who sit and do nothing and get paid for it or people who are on benefits taking advantage of it and having a big mansion and mercedes or a mother who can have 7 to 16 children all claiming child benefits each. sorry but this is not on its about time it got squashed
The man is a total dullard. Could you really see him representing this country on the world stage, he put them to sleep in no time. When he got in as Labour leader my initial reaction was what the fuck are you all thinking, then I realised they just need a sacrificial lamb that they can get shot off when it gets close to election time again, when a proper leader (probably David Milliband this time) can take over. John Major had more charisma than Mr. Ed and that's a tough cookie to beat.
