Can you hear the sound of New LABOUR sinking ?
Bi election results are never a good indication of who will win the next General election but if politicians listen they should be able to hear what potential voters are saying.
In this case you wont hear the entire story because voices of smokers have been stifled once again.
As the Labour boat sinks you can hear the usual rhetoric from the usual bunch telling us that their boat wont sink.
The rights of the individual have been ignored by all Party's at this bi-election and the politicians have not Listened
The economy and other factors came into it, but the overwhelming factor that came into it is that many people feel that life has nothing to offer them.
We see what the future has to offer, no holidays, rising costs, and no where to escape because of the Bloody stupid smoke ban !
Millions yes millions of potential voter are bloody angry because you have robbed them of some way to escape from the gloom and doom of your failed attempts at a hypocritical legislation t

HARRIET HARMAN, LABOUR DEPUTY LEADER
"I don't think there's any getting away from it and I make no bones about it, it was a bad result for Labour last night. But I think we have to understand what lies behind it and what lies behind it is people's sense of their own prospects and the fact people are feeling the pinch... People are saying to the government they want their immediate concerns addressed, that food's going up, fuel prices are going up and they want the government to very strongly focus on what we can do to back them up in their standard of living and we will do that."

HAZEL BLEARS, COMMUNITIES SECRETARY
"It might be that the electorate have decided to send us a pretty powerful message but the last thing they want is the Labour Party to turn on itself and be obsessed with our own affairs and not what the public want."

CHRIS BRYANT, LABOUR MP AND AIDE TO HARRIET HARMAN
"I'm not putting any gloss on it. It's a very bad night for us. A lot of people are anxious about their personal budgets, their personal finances, fuel and food costs and they want a government that is going to work at that. I think that Gordon Brown is the right person to take us through these choppy economic waters on a world front."

I think its not just the smoking ban but the attitudes behind it that anger me- the arrogance of a ruling caste that thinks social engineering is a legitimate activity for governments.

I am delighted that a person who thought she had 'ruler's genes' that gave her the right to be an MP was told to sling her hook by the voters.

I totaly agree with you but believe me when I say that I did go to Crewe and saw first hand what people were saying.
Ordinary people were very angry that they had been denied any rights to sit in a pub and have a smoke when they pay the same money to sit or stand outside in a shed.
I was angry to see it to.
Rob.
