Has this government ever told the truth about anything?

SOUTH Cheshire MP Stephen O'Brien has attacked the Government over the way it has presented official statistics on migrant workers.
The Tory MP for Eddisbury said a study by the Statistics Commission has found the Government has been attempting to fiddle the official figures.
He said the new analysis of official figures has revealed that more than 80 per cent of the new jobs created by Labour over the last decade have gone to foreign-born workers - not the 54 per cent recently claimed by the Government.
The study also found that 1.4 million of the 1.7 million jobs created since 1997 have been filled by those born overseas.
Mr O'Brien said: "If we are to have a sensible and grown up debate about the impact of inward immigration on our frontline public services and indeed the character of our nation, we must be given robust and accurate statistics and information.
"I know that Frank Field a respected Labour MP shares our concerns about the Government's manipulation of figures

Doubt it! The Labour Party has been systematically manipulating statistics to show that things are, as their 1997 election song promised, 鈥榞etting better鈥?for all of us.....They don't even know what truth is because the concept eludes them....

Yes...amazing!! Thanks trish. Report It

they have lied for ten years , if they had worked for a firm they would have been sacked

They did once, I think.

Do you think MP's being economical with the truth started when the current Government was elected? What complete rubbish!

I'll swap Bush's administration for your lot . . .

Pfffffffffftttt

Doubt it.

Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable and to give the appearance of solidarity to pure wind.
Does that answer you ???

Highly doubtful if they would recognize he truth if it jumped up & bit them.

Its all an act on their part cuz most of them don't know whats going on and just live lives like we all do. They base there decisions on what most people complain on or even write them about. Moeny is always an issues, but yet the president can sign a new $55 billion dollar contract for the "war"...take away from the poor so that the rich can pretend to take care of things when they actually just piss it away. Many more reasons why this great country is going down.

Governments form public opinion - its called brain washing. or during elections its called democracy.... (please note only populations who fear PC are actually democracy's)

George Washington could not tell a lie
Goebbels could not tell the truth
This government needs a Public Enquiry
and still wouldn't know the truth if it fell over it because it would corrupt the enquiry

Governments were created by men and women who were the best at their job at manipulating the mass audience and didnt let morals getting in the way of success.

If politics was work, ud see every workplace with a circular chamber were all the workers would congregate and yell at each other most of the working week, while getting payed above the average income!

If u had a job which required u to do no work and your getting good pay would u

1> tell everyone you spend most your time in a comfy chair yelling at someone across the room, skim reading important documents u wont remember the next day, all while getting great pay?

or

2> Tell everyone your doing a great job, tell everyone your fixing someone else's screw up from the oposition, so dont vote for them. Tell everyone thess statistics u wont understand, while meaning nothing prove your doing a awesome job!

Aswer is simple, the laziest are at the lower end, the ones at the top are the best at lieing and have no moral issues. So how to get the lazy ones to fight each other? well make sure there is a bigger fatter check the higher they get and those greedy buggers will claw and backstab everyone to make sure they get to the top.

So if they tell the truth, its just to serve their own interests, not the publics, sure u may get 1 or 2 good politicians, but they never get the support they need and even at the top, achieve even less then a greedy bastard.

"Has this government ever told the truth about anything?"

No, they have lied consistantly on every issue for the last 10 years, they've even lied about the lies. I think it has gotten so bad that the politicians actually believe their own lies themselves. Like Tony Montana said in Scarface "I always tell the truth, even when I lie". Labour politicians seem to operate the same way.

Now when some Govt plank speaks I always believe the opposite because they are not trustworthy, there isn't a grain of honesty or a sense of trust in any Labour politician. If they said it was going to rain tomorrow, I would expect sun. If the Govt says "don't panic", then you know it's time to panic.

Every New Labour voter from the last 10 years should hang their heads in shame.
