Hmmm.... sounds a tad familiar don't you think? :confused:

Don't worry though, I'm sure there's no cynicism at work here and that they'll do much better next time... :rolleyes:

Isn't it always heart-warming to hear ministers admit to their biggest failings after they've been booted out of government?

Come on lads you know we should all be forgiven for our sins.;)

Or when they're seeking re-election.

Obviously they believe there's plenty of people with short memories and/or rose tinted specs who'll buy this guff and overlook the fact that nothing much changed after Blair's 'sincere' apology in 2004. In fact they were still branding anyone who objected as deluded 'bigots' right up until they were removed from power. No amount of Miliband's new found 'humility' alters that fact and makes me doubt he'd only provide more of the same if elected.

I'd have more sympathy with that view if they weren't the same sins cynically being repeated again and again... ;)

Well l will lets others to discuss the merits of politicians or political parties. and l will just read the political threads from my desk and have a chuckle now and again.:)

No. Labour should never ever be forgiven for what they did regarding immigration or the economy.

Re: Miliband - Labour wrong on immigration
 

Labour are trying to ensure that the skeletons they know will come back to haunt them at the next election are dealt with beforehand. That way they will think we have forgotten what a bunch of incompetent idiots they really are.

So they still need to deal with

Sending troops to war on a lie
Selling our gold at the cheapest price they could
Selling us out to Europe
Getting us into the biggest financial mess the country has ever been in.

but worst of all Being Labour ;)

Expect a raft of 'sincere apologies' for those 'mistakes', and more, as the next election approaches but don't expect anything to change after it.

I must say Miliband's 'apology' for his party's immigration 'mistakes' flies in the face of what former advisor to Tony Blair and Jack Straw, Anderew Neather, claimed was a deliberate policy.

In fact, as recently as late 2011, Bliar was espousing 'more of the same'...

Its Labour at its best "We will do what ever you want us to do as long as its what we want to do otherwise you can all SOD OFF".

Re: Miliband - Labour wrong on immigration
 

So now Ed has apologised ah well that makes it all ok then lets all just forget the damage that idiotic policy did to the country in terms of race relations and a lot of british workers being priced out of employment. Whenever i see ed millipede on the tele i have this urge to slap him to death he always looks to me as though he is just going by script i never feel he is saying what or how he truly feels. Sadly given the pain many have and many more will feel by the time the next election comes i wouldn't be too surprised to see labour getting more votes then they should. We can only hope enough people will remember the past and stop them getting back into power anytime soon.

Re: Miliband - Labour wrong on immigration
 

Don't worry he'll be promising 'British jobs for British workers' next... :rolleyes:

Re: Miliband - Labour wrong on immigration
 

Nearer we get to the election he will be promising everyone everything to try and get back into office and whats worse there will be plenty that will fall for it.
