Southampton ' has put trust in Labour' says Ed Miliband
4:53pm Friday 4th May 2012 in Election News
By Melanie Adams, Health Reporter
Ed Miliband was hit with an egg during a walkabout in Southampton today.
The Labour leader Ed Miliband had just thanked the people of the city for putting their trust in his party.
Speaking in Shirley High Street Mr Miliband described Cllr Richard Williams as a “fantastic” leader of Southampton's Labour Party and pledged to repay the voters trust by working on the issues that matter most to people: jobs, housing and public services.
He added: “The reason why we won in Southampton is because we have been running a campaign about people's priorities. A campaign that Richard has led around jobs, around housing, around public services and around the things that matter to people.
“Here in Southampton it's a rejection of the economic failure of this government and the unfairness of this government.
People are understanding that Labour understands the struggles you are going through.
“Labour is back in the South of England. Labour will keep these promises.”
However, not everyone was happy to see the Labour leader in the city. One protestor cracked an egg on Mr. Miliband's shoulder as he gave an interview after his speech.

And what was it Milliband said "We want good Capitalism" and also said "We need reposable Capitalism"
Capitalism is no good for the working class only good for the few.

When are you stupid people who voted labour going to realise the Labour party put this country in its current finacial position so if you want us to go bankrupt like Greece then just keep voting labour and then you will realise hardship. Ask the people of Greece 70% of people in Greece have no work.
Wake up the lot of you Milliband is run by the unions.

No party understands our struggle. This was a sham of an election, poor turnout, reaction to the cuts made by Conservatives. Labour left this country in a mess and will now spend alot of time blaming the other party. We would of been better off voting fo rthe No8 Bus driver. There are no fixes or answers which ever party is in power is going to just tax the working man and woman in one way or the other. Milliband is just another non people elected leader who says what he thinks we want to hear. You have 6 months labour council,if things have not changed and the people who have lost their jobs in the recent months at the council do not get them back straight away then you better close the door as you leave the civic centre and give the keys to the No8 bus driver..

2. A global recession brought about by the bankers in the USA and UK and elsewhere was not entirely Labour's fault.
3. People who lived on credit and defaulted on much of it, not really Labour's fault.
4. Not regulating the banks and the finance industry while in power Labour's fault.
5. In spite of the austerity measures of the past 2 years of Con/LibDems our country's debt has gone up significantly.
6. Did not vote this time as they parties are all the same but to be honest serves Cons right with the policies they have - NHS reform, House of Lords reform, Mayors - why? Snooping policy - your web browsing- email etc. Tax reduction for their rich friends and more austerity for the very old with regard to the 'granny tax'. Prices have been rising and wages cut. Unemployment rising and a stupid idea of getting the elderly to work longer when the young have no jobs or opportunity for career progression. Keynesian economics worked after WW2 - clearly monetarism is not working and has got us into this mess.

Did I actually just read a comment about 'rich tory voters'? Im a student, who was entitled to the full claim of EMA but chose not to take it (because I can earn my own money) and I am proud to say I voted Conservative. Conservatives were the only ones who actually made any positive contributions to Southampton and fully deserved to keep control of the council. Unfortunately due to people not understanding basic politics and how the economy works, Labour are now left in charge to doom Southampton! Well done voters, you've created a monster.
people understand there was a Tax Cut for the rich - and a lower one which hardly helped anyone as they were whacked with the working hours on Working Tax credits.
When you have a family perhaps you'll think differently.
What do you want a flipping medal! my son survived on EMA, many young people can't get part-time jobs as hey there are a hell of a lot of young people unemployed at the moment, hmmm spot why this is ????
I just saw the news and voters, (not people who spout off on here) were saying that they're fed up with ConCam and George Osborne, who wouldn't know what 'struggle' was if it hit them on the chin....

The Torries will bleed us dry if we dont act now. The rich are getting richer and the poorer are getting to the stage where they cant even afford to eat.
Who do you think you will see on the streets working for the working class now that the Elections are done with till the next one, you will not see the Torys or the Lib/Dems not even the Labour party none off these you will not see the Greens, BNP, UKIP or even the First out on the streets.
It will be only the Socialist Party out there listen to people and helping them doing stalls ect, and yet all the good work they do others take the credit for.
The Socialist Party use to be part of the Labour Party till Kinnoch got them removed the part that first got the Labour party started when it was just a Railway Union and the Socialist Party the back bone of the party, the group that use to keep the Labour Party intouch with the people and letting the MP's and Councillors know what the ordinary people were thinking and saying so there policy was all ways in touch with the people, but with the removal of the Socialist Party from the Labour Party put Labour out off touch just like the Torys.

Labour record speaks for it self, when the Tory made cuts Labour voted for the cuts also, Labour Councillors and MP's crossing picket lines, and only got interested when it was getting close to the elections, only 3 Councillors refuse to cross the picket lines.
And what was it Milliband said "We want good Capitalism" and also said "We need reposable Capitalism"
Capitalism is no good for the working class only good for the few.
What you appear to forget is that it was your dedicated Socialists, a hundred years ago, that fought for the improvements that you see in working conditions and workers rights that you now enjoy.
With each gain, so the political landscape changes. It is only the political dinosaurs that want to keep on fighting the same old battles that have been fought and won, which is why they only get a sympathy vote, not a winning won.
I have a lot of sympathy with some of your views southy, but I do wish that you would look to the future instead of refusing to catch up with the 21st century.

All it would take is get a true Socialist into power and remove the neo-nationalism and neo-liberalism policy and bring back the keynesian policy, this country was doing very well up to 1979 when we was using keynesian policy, our national debt was being cleared and being paid up, but since thatcher change it the debt has been growing.

Labour gained 11 seats taking a majority control of the council for first time in more than a decade.
As the final declaration came in just after 2am, Labour councillors and supporters gathered to chant out their new number of elected members - 30.
The result decides who will run the city council for the next two years, as there are no elections next year.

It was his parties paymasters who orchestrated those strikes on behalf of the Labour Party with the sole intention of getting Labour elected.
So for him to say that's why his party were elected was a recognition to the unions in the great blackmail that's taken place in this city.
The amount who turn up to vote are the electorate of the day yet Labour have questioned the validity of the Government & the old council on the percentage of the electorate who bothered voting unlike them I will accept the suckers vote but can't wait to see their reactions when Labour starts to implement it's real agenda.
Under the Tories tax dodgers have been cut under the previous Labour council we the payers were expected to pay more to cover the non payment by tax cheats will this Labour council chase them & make them pay?

Prosperity for the city means people in work, earning a wage and spending it in the city. Royston's actions has seen a lot of people put out of work, and Cameron's actions has seen many in the private sector losing their jobs in this area.
That is what terrifies the left.
"They (The Left) want poverty and misery as it justifies their ideals."
Poverty and misery is what Royston Smith has delivered locally, and what Cameron&Co is delivering nationally, which is why there are now so many former Tory councillors find that they were voted out.
"Also can youimagine a labour councillor acting the way Royston did on the Submarine!?"
Do you honestly believe that he trained for that event? Don't you think that it was an instinctive act of self-preservation? I am not decrying him for what he did, in fact I am full of praise, but that was as instinctive an act as when John Prescott reacted to the Norfolk farmer's attack.

I don't know of one.
If it were the 'Heaven on Earth' that you appear to think that it would be, why is it not taking place in every country?
No doubt you will come back with the regular spiel about 'Capitalists and Bankers' but there were those people before the Russian Revolution, the French Revolution, China etc etc
Nobody works for nothing. They want to be paid, whether in cash or kind (bartering). That is capitalism.
So, come on Southy. Enough of the criticism, tell me where this Utopia is. Where everyone is equal (except that they are not because there are always workers and skivers. Savers and spendthrifts.)

How can you say it do not work any more, first off all to be able to say that its got to tryed out and Socialism Economics as never been tired 100% at any time and no where in the world, the best it ever been was 45% Socialism and 55% capitalism and just having that 45% proved to be 10 times better than 100% Capitalism.
You though we was a classless society that is some thing we have never been, that is just false right wing propaganda
I don't know of one.
If it were the 'Heaven on Earth' that you appear to think that it would be, why is it not taking place in every country?
No doubt you will come back with the regular spiel about 'Capitalists and Bankers' but there were those people before the Russian Revolution, the French Revolution, China etc etc
Nobody works for nothing. They want to be paid, whether in cash or kind (bartering). That is capitalism.
So, come on Southy. Enough of the criticism, tell me where this Utopia is. Where everyone is equal (except that they are not because there are always workers and skivers. Savers and spendthrifts.)
The closes any country came to Socialism was Russia but it was only a few years Russia between 1917 to 1923 Lenin work was never finished off, it was destroied before it was compleated by Stalin who was a provinicalist (Capitalist).

There are so many questions on local, national and international issues that you would be able to ask, and upon the answers you received, could possibly influence the way that you voted in the future.
Being a great intellectual and person known for their in-depth political thinking, all you could think of to ask is,
"What is it like to shaft your brother?"
I assume it is because he and not his brother is leader of the Labour Party that makes you want to ask the question.
I can save you the bother. There was an election, and Ed Milliband won.
Heaven only knows how Cameron came to be leader of the Tories.

Socialism is the way forward
It builds on the progress and the gains that it made.
For example, the NHS as it was set up by Nye Bevan has had to change and modernise, because it has had to adapt to technology and advances that have been made in surgery techniques, diagnosis, drugs etc etc.
How many people had a car when the NHS was formed, and how many have one now?
University education was once only available to the children of the rich, or ones funded by a charity or a patron. Until the recent grants were cut, it was available to all who had the ability.
As a local lad, I saw the old Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth and the Castle Line ships leaving Southampton for places that I dreamed of visiting, but thought I never would. I had French lessons in school and thought it pointless because I would never be able to afford to go abroad. I wish I had paid attention, because foreign travel is now available to practically everyone. No longer is a week in Bournemouth considered the be-all and end-all.
Those Socialists that you dream of were the architects who laid the foundations of today's society and if we were able to speak with them, I have not the slightest doubt that they would be telling us to keep building on that foundation, and modernise as required.
I was brought up in a very happy home, but I would not like to re-live it.
I would not want to live in a house with single-glazing, an open fire, lino on the floor and a draught of gale-force strength coming under the doors. We would huddle round the fire with our fronts toasted and our backs as cold as ice.
We would listen to a wireless, with a choice of the Home Service or the Light Programme. With no electricity, only gas, it was powered by a battery and an accumulator, and a pound to a pinch of s**t, the battery would lose power, or the accumulator would need recharging when a special programme was about to start.
Those 'good old days' are the ones that the current days are built on. It is called progress. Progress that our Socialist forefathers wanted us to enjoy and build on.
Get a life Southy. Remember the past by all means, but don't think that it was all Milk and Honey, because it was not.

Ed had never let it be known to his brother his ambitions so his brother thought he had his support so what was to follow was in my book shafting his brother or stabbing him in the back.
I could think of many other insults to throw at both the Millibands as with our two Labour MP's but no matter how much I hate/sorry dislike them I wouldn't throw eggs or tomatoes or any other object at them
