[Closed] Ed Balls...

.....makes my blood boil.....

ha!

I had the misfortune to be at a fundraiser where he was the keynote. His punchable face, general smug tossbagness mixed with the free bar made me tell him to piss off when he came schmoozing.

Horrible bastard.

Not sure who is worse - him or his wife.

Him. I'm dreading the day I have to vote for such an unappealing bunch.

Balls = politician = self serving, odious, twunt.

Is an utter, utter arse. If the Labour Party wish to remain unelectable they can do no better than keeping that odious bullying twunt and his equally odious condescending wife on their front bench.

I'm not convinced they're all self serving. I wouldn't want to have to work that hard for their money, but I agree that he's a twunt.

Utter scummer.

He is, quite literally, a piece of shit.

If the Labour Party wish to remain unelectable....

I take it you haven't seen any opinion polls or by-election and local authority elections results for the last couple of years ?

The Labour Party appears to remain quite electable.

The only current Labour politician that the conservatives seem to fear

I just can't see how he get's referred to as a political 'heavyweight' in the media? He pretty much encapsulates everything I dislike about career politicians.

Yes, he does know his stuff about the economy, and, let's face it, Gideon is doing an A+ job of cocking it up.

However, that doesn't alter the fact that Balls is utterly, utterly unlikeable, and as such, the Labour Party realised that having him as leader would be electoral suicide.

Nulabour in mid-term opinion poll lead shocker 🙄

Tory supporter doesn't realise that Labour has held a lead for the last two years shocker 🙄

He plays football goes down like a sack of sh*t, how very apt!!!!
Would i trust him with 4 billion????? I think not

Ed Balls is a great,genuine,charismatic,British Labour "bloke", he has financial solutions oozing from every pore, he has a Fantastic wife and would never ever betray his left wing ethics !

Or would he ???

[i]Yes, he does know his stuff about the economy[/i]

Hmm, this 'spare' £4bn:

http://www.zdnet.com/uks-4g-auction-labour-lays-out-its-plans-for-4bn-windfall-7000005025/

Surely if its to be paid by the companies wanting to offer 4G, then they expect to receipt more from their customers, ie us. Then its not a spare £4bn to spend, but money that if not paid straight into paying off debt will actual just add to our overall debt. Or am I wrong?

Labour Party 15-point lead over the Conservative Party

Kinnock had a 24 point lead at one point

So did Michael Foot

😉

You best write to the editor of the Times and tell him Z-11 🙂

Oh, so you're a fan of the Murdoch empire again now Ernie 😆

How did you come to that conclusion ? Do you even know ? 🙂

The only way Millibean could have picked anyone with less economic credibility as chancellor, would have been to ask good old Gordon if he fancies another crack at it, as it went so well last time.

And he's got a head like a space hopper!

A mate of mine is one of his PR guys 😈

The only person even less appealing than Balls, is Osbourne

I wouldn't want to have to work that hard for their money

my head just exploded.

Good speech from Ed Tescticles today. I think he basically said "we're skint, we're £trillion's in debt and the solution is.... Yes comrades.... lets borrow some money to get out of debt"..... Not really surprising coming from the failure Brown's right hand man.

And while we're at it why don't we rename the country Greece?

I do however agree that we need to spend some money on infrastructure projects to get the economy moving. Makes a change to hear something sensible from captain odious.

At last, someone comes to the defence of Ed Balls...... I was starting to think there were only lefties on STW !

And while we're at it why don't we rename the country Greece?

Only if we get some of their weather.

Bernie in not aware of the relevance of mid-term opinion polls shocker 😆

Only if we get some of their weather.

Do we get some of their women as well? 😯

Can we pay Greek levels of tax then? Like they do in the City? 😉

If faced with Piers Morgan and Ed Balls, with a baseball bat to hand, I suspect they'd get off without a beating, because my indecision over which one to hit first would give them a chance to leg it!

You think so

He's right on the need for infrastructure spending and even as a raw meat eating rightie I have to admit that. Even if he stole the idea off the tories, who incidentally don't have the balls (excuse the pun) to carry it through in case they upset the shires e.g. HS2

And their salads, don't forget the salads.

Forgot to say he's still an utter twunt, and totally odious and is clearly only right on this occasion by luck.... etc etc

Forgot to say he's still an utter twunt, and totally odious...

Well I have to say that I'm hugely hearten to hear so much vitriol directed at Ed Balls, I did fear that his neo-liberal views and commitments such as this :
[url= http://newsnetscotland.com/index.php/scottish-politics/4083-ed-balls-labour-will-accept-tory-cuts-in-full ]
Labour will accept Tory cuts in full[/url]

would win him some sympathy from right-wingers on here - obviously not !

Let's hope that this loathing for Ed Balls is mirrored throughout Britain, so much so that Miliband is forced to replace him 🙂

Hairy, and sweaty? u sure? 😕

Yep. Better to have Tories in the Tory party and the Socialists in the Labour party, it keeps everything nice and neat that way.

Can I just say I dont really see how he's worse than most of the others. I dont get why he's so hated.

Comedian maggot.

😆

I dont get why he's so hated.

No I don't either. I would like to think that it's because of his political views and policies, however I doubt that has anything to do with it. In much the same way that many prefer Boris Johnson to David Cameron, despite not having a clue what policy differences there are between the two.

I think a lot of people treat politics very much like the X Factor. And then of course complain about the idiots and clowns which they themselves have chosen.

Odious taunt does rather sum up Ed.

The only role in which he was more disturbing as as Children's minister.

I think I would rather leave my kids in the company of Alan Clark than Ed Balls. He really is the archetypal nasty career politician. Coupled up with Millivanilliband the jr they render Labour totally unelectable.

Hung parliament coming up next time....Oh sh!t it's Nick....

You don't think the Tories will win ? That's rather peculiar, since you claim that Labour is "totally unelectable" 😕

Things must be very dire for the Tories if they can't win against a totally unelectable Labour Party.

Millibland and Balls- purveyors of Tripe

Tories are pretty shabby too. Dave and George are acting out their schooldays again. Totally clueless, the pair of them.

Which leaves Lib Dems and their blowing in the wind and UKIP....

We're boned.

I liked Alan Johnson. That is all I have to add to this.

There is not one party that remotely has anything different to offer from each other,what flavour would you like on your shit sir ?

Alan Johnson sacked professor Nutt, after he dared suggest that the government could try basing policies on some evidence.

he's worse than balls.
