Oxford
Labour has gained a stunning four seats in Oxford, falling just one short of taking overall control - and missing that ward by just 4 votes.
Luke, I'm sorry to sound negative, but this is the number-of-the-night so far:
Labour 24 Tory 44 LibDem 25
That's the "national number" projection given by the BBC just now. And while I'd love to see you prove me wrong, I don't see how *that* one can be spun.
"You supported the war on democracy in Iraq so you have blood on your hands. We have tried to stop that war - and now with success."
You opposed the war on a concept, so declared a real war that killed a million real people. An illegal war of aggression. If Nuremberg laws applied, Blair and his cronies would be hung for war crimals.
John Doe is gutted that there were no candidates willing to gas parts of the population and round up political opponents and torture and murder them like his favourite party the Baathists.

If you want to talk about dead Iraqis, the USUK sanctions on Iraq killed a million people, half of them children. This war has killed a million people. Bush and Blair make Hussein look like fucking Gandhi. I'd have thought somebody with your record of supporting failed policies would be more humble.
So sanctions shouldn't be applied and military intervention shouldn't be used. How else would the Baathists be removed or were you happy to support the regime?
Also your figure of a million has no substance. Linky Linky?
How the fuck does denying medicine to Iraqis and starving them of food hurt Hussein? You killed Iraqi CIVILIANS. 500,000 of them children. Saddam Hussein was fine... so fine that you thought he was still a threat in 2003 and could deliver chemical weapons to UK territory within 45 minutes. The sanctions did nothing but kill innocents. And now you're reaping what you sowed, the Iraqis hate your fucking guts and will kill our soldiers at any opportunity.
But surely Labour is only a party of the North, Wales and Scotland... LOL.
ReplyDeleteSince the Iraq war, Labour have done nothing but lose seats in the North, Wales and Scotland.
ReplyDeleteFrom a huge start, of course they have.
ReplyDeleteAre you really this thick or are you trolling?
fucking great torys cunts get bury
ReplyDeleteNo the share of the vote went up in 2007 from 2004.
ReplyDeleteIn this election it looks as though the share of the vote will be the lowest ever, despite Iraq not being an issue.
How lovely that you can bury the thought of a million dead people because "its not an issue" to you.
ReplyDeleteGood night so far
ReplyDeleteLabour down 100

It's you!
ReplyDeleteYou supported the war on democracy in Iraq so you have blood on your hands. We have tried to stop that war - and now with success.
ReplyDeleteIf you are against dead Iraqis then why do you oppose the surge?
"Hate the spin, not the spinner"
ReplyDeleteNew Labour motto.
"If you are against dead Iraqis then why do you oppose the surge?"
ReplyDeleteI didn't say anything about the surge. Are you a mind reader?
John Doe's gutted that there were no Baathist candidates.
ReplyDeletewhat is that old dear doing on the right on hoon

ReplyDeleteIt's apparent, I sympathise.
Sanctions were Saddam's fault; they saved a lot of lives by stopping him from invading his neighbours again.

ReplyDeleteHow the fuck does allowing Saddam to build nukes and invade his neighbours save lives, you predictable moron?
ReplyDeleteThe reason Saddam was so weak in 2003 is precisely because of the very sanctions you opposed.
Brain dead loser.
I see John Doe is still having his Saddam love in. I wonder if he idolises Hitler too?
