Frankly, the political establishment too often conducts debate in a way that insults the intelligence of the public.Yes, Ed said that yesterday. And he is spot on. He also said this:
We must change this for the good of the country.
Let's be honest, politics isn't working.Right again, Ed. Reward yourself with a garibaldi.
People have lost faith in politicians and politics.
And trust is gone.
Politics is basically broken.
Its practice, its reputation and its institutions.
Earlier, unfortunately, he had said this:
[...] we must be on the side of those who are dismayed by the undermining of the local pub with cut-price alcohol from supermarkets.OK, I'll wait a few seconds while you explete away.
Finished? Great. My turn, then.

You accept that Labour were wrong to go into Iraq; you accept that Labour were wrong in closing post offices; you accept that Labour were wrong to make policy on the back of swivel-eyed focus groups; you even accept that your party fucked up by overspending.
Yet you are quite incapable of admitting that your party's policies - exclusively - have destroyed pubs in this country, so instead try to shift the blame onto companies which have been doing exactly what they have always done ... offer value to your working class voters.
Even the most pro-smoking ban advocate in the hospitality industry will admit that the Health Act 2006 - which you and your stroppy fuckwitted poor loser of a brother voted for - has had an impact on pub closures. But you ignore all of that and blame someone else?
YOU were part of the problem, sunshine. In fact, it was on your party's watch that it happened wholescale. You weren't just not on the side of pubs, you were actively placing barriers in front of them.
Now you want to be their friend? Now you claim that you are the pub champion? You jest, surely.
See, the thing is, Ed, that the reason 'politics is broken'; why we have 'lost faith in politicians and politics'; why 'the trust is gone' in 'its practice, its reputation and its institutions' is precisely because of disgusting, two-faced, irresponsible, righteous-entranced gobshites such as you.
Fuck you, Ed, and the disgusting, ungrateful, commie shit you were spawned from.
