***CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY***

Ed Miliband MP, Leader of the Labour Party, in a speech at the EEF National Manufacturing Conference in London, said:

It is great to be here with you today.

And I want to start by thanking Terry Scuoler, your CEO, for his leadership of the Engineering Employers...

While Mr Miliband sounds like the right guy (a move to the left) I must say I also thought that of Mr Blair and what a right wing disaster he turned out to be which had many Labour supporters either changing party or not voting at the last election.

Of course I like Mr Miliband's comments on keeping the NHS out of new global agreements (I believe it's called TPPT and others). That's not good enough to get me back to Labour as I want a stop to these treaties that impoverish the British working classes (excluding the thieves in the Banksters industries).

I really do not like a foreign company coming over here to use British ideas and turning them into products. This should be the roll of British companies, employing British people and paying British Taxes. You may well argue they (British companies) do not want to take the risk. I would argue that the last Labour Government of three terms (reinforced by the present right wing government), in pursuit of globalisation stacked the tax system against British companies in favour of overseas companies, making it impossible for them to compete (this argument also applies to the essential industries such as water, electric, gas, railways and buses), I remember that gobshite Prescott saying "if the energy companies do not reduce the bills then, if elected the next Labour Government would re-nationalise them". Did they. No, but energy bills went through the roof. I can only assume not a word was ever mentioned about re-nationalisation as a payment to the dodgy donors - and I DO not mean the Unions. On the same topic Mr Miliband gave the energy companies about eighteen months notice of a price freeze with the obvious massive price hikes over the interim period ( this time around no mention of re-nationalisation), I rest my case, just more of New Labour is my choice. Answer -NO.
