Could this be a clue to why the Tories haven't tackled the banksters?

Perhaps it would liven things up and drive home the point if several thousands of us turned up at the party too!

I'm sure that we won't be very welcome at Battersea Evolution but we could certainly make it a night to remember for the verminous scum trapped inside!!

I have to disagree with you again. The banks won't pull out of the country if we hit them where it hurts which is in their bank accounts. Some call it their pocketbook. Not any one of those banks would pull out of this country as they make too much money from being here and to the point that some of them would go bust if they did.

Any time a politician from any of the parties tell you this they are lying through their teeth and only because it would take money away from their bank accounts as well. The Tories, Labour, Lib/dem and all the other politicians of any of our political parties all belong in one group of people and they are all bought and paid for. Evidence of the last few decades proves this. It is fact and you, I nor anyone else can get away from that fact.

I think Foxy more or less nailed this one for you but then that isn't unusual as he is pretty good at it. He does know what he is talking about on this one. I like a lot of your answers and questions as well and they make me think you are a thinking individual. Don't agree with a lot of what you say but you do seem to be getting there and if you take away the blind loyalty to a bunch of thieves and liars you just might make it. I say the same thing to a lot on here that support a party and its original idea and ideology. Sad they have changed over the years and seem to be used as a platform for the lying, thieving, greedy individuals that now infest these parties.

Hope for better is all we can do and we need to keep voting so that one day we can get rid of them all and they will actually return to those original ideals(the parties that is) All we have today as far as our politicians are concerned is people with flawed character and morals. We CAN change that. Vote them all out and give them a wake up call. Came close this last election. That is why we have a coalition.

The corruption just goes on and on and no doubt they would be discussing the economy and thereby qualify to claim the cost of the night on legitimate expenses.

They are no better and no worse than the last lot in power, they are like a nest of festering maggots living in a world of luxury far away from the real world.

A £1000 a head (backstabber's) ball, is eye watering enough to woo any MP of the British ilk, as bribery works just fine in this unjust and twisted country of ours. You wont see the Tories tackle the banksters, but neither did you see the Liebour scamsters tackle them either. Dearest and Flash had long enough on the gravy train themselves, and failed to do anything effective - though I don't remember them attending £1000 balls, they only had Ed Balls haha. Don't forget about SIR Fred Goodwin, and the way that Dearest and Flash never tackled that particular bankster.

REPLY.... You talk a load of old party politic crap, "manage to get £3.5BN out of them" indeed. The British public under Dearest and Flash have poured BILLIONS of £ more into most of the high street banks to bail them out, and I forget how much RBS owe us. You know that as well as I do - . I'm no ToryLibLab supporter, but.... ahem... you seem have got a very short memory of how much those shysters cost us when the Liebour party were in less than a year ago methinks.

Well lets put it like this, if you've got any sense and just a little bit will do, you DON'T go biting the hand that feeds you, simples.....

Edit:- For all the Thumb Downer's.

Unless your an ardent Tory or Banker I think you've probably got the wrong end of the stick, what I mean by using the phrase "You DON'T go biting the hand that feeds you".

Is

The Tories and the Bankers with this nice expensive bash are doing exactly like I said not biting the hand that's feeds em,,, both of em,,, to not do what they are doing,,, both of em,,, would be seen as biting the hand that feeds em,,, both of em,,, the Bankers and the Tories,,, in other words its mutually beneficial for and to each other.

I wish I was rich. But I am just a sensible working man. Fed up with the waste in the public sector which I pay for. I do not care if the bankers getting millions in bonuses. I did not ask to bail them out, that was Gordon Brown's idea. I rather they paid the savers off and watch the banks burn.

Reply: I did not want to save the banks, rather save the savers. Let RBS etc go bust.

I rather vote Conservative than the useless Lib or the robbing, underhand Labour.

Believe it or not, the reason the Conservatives haven't tackled the bankers is because it makes economic sense. Of course, that's not as scandalous as 'it's because they're funded by rich bankers' so it's not going to be mentioned, but really that's the main reason. Every time a banker in this country is paid a salary of millions of pounds a hefty chunk of that goes straight back into the treasury via income tax, tax on homes or cars or other goods they buy, and so on. The same is true every time a banker is paid a bonus in this country. Putting a bonus-tax on bank pay-outs permanently would only encourage the highest-paid to go abroad, spending their money and paying their taxes somewhere else - we would lose out economically in the long run. The old idea that low taxes on businesses encourage investment and help make the government more money is still true - we need to keep these people on side if we want an economic recovery, not push them away to Switzerland or somewhere.

The Tories need to tackle the government first. Can't stop the banksters if the governments backing them all.

its a sad day for democracy when the nasty party can do this so overtly, and the right wing sycophants are lacking a moral compass

I have decided to hedge my bets.
