Keane 'Horrified' by Conservative Party Using Song to Launch Manifesto

Dear Voice of Reason
How on earth can you say that by privatising nationalised industries such as water and railways have made them less efficient. I whave first had experience of the rail industry working for both BR and the Private sector. There is no comparison, the railways are now run as business which now means we do not have 3 people doing a one person job, investment, new rolling stock put the old rolling stock to shame, clean, fast, environmentally friendly, safer, Service staff pride in work, fares multi-tude of fares meaning major savings can be had. Everytime a tory policy of industry improvement is implemented it always means, cost savings through efficiency. Yes that may mean job losses but that is only because there wasn't a job there in the first place. Labour for Tax, Conservatives for real and better change.

PLEASE LETS STICK TO THE REAL POINT ! DID THEY HAVE A PUBLICITY LICENCE ? THIS WAS FORCED UPON ME TO PAY £££££ TO PLAY RADIO1 IN MY WORKSHOP WHILST I WAS WORKING !
TAKES THE PI55 WHEN THE GOVERMENT CAN PENALISE AND PUNISH HARDWORKING TAXPAYERS FOR LISTENING TO A FEW SONGS EVERYDAY AND YET MPS WILL JUST HAVE A PARTY AT MY EXPENSE AND SAY WHATEVER !!!

Reading the ridiculously ill-informed comments (coupled with the obvious lack of education!) it is clear to me that there is no hope for this country whichever party succeeds. The biggest mistake ever made was to allow everybody a vote. It is so apparent that few have even a rudimentary grasp of politics. I have no allegiance to any of the political parties but even the most idiotic person must be able to see that the damage caused to this country during the last thirteen years is close to being terminal. Five more years of similar fiscal negligence and recklessness would finally condemn us to the status of a minor country on the world stage. Like it or not those that are advocating an endorsement of this government by re-election are the self same people who have failed to take responsibility for their own reckless spending, thus causing the chaos that requires an unpalatable period of severe restraint. Youth unemployment is down only because so many are in university 'education' obtaining watered down degrees that will afford them no advantage in society. Criticize Margaret Thatcher as much as you like but history already shows that she was one of the best Prime Ministers that this country ever had and whether you like it or not, another character with similar credibility and determination is exactly what the COUNTRY needs now. Never mind how you might whinge at how it affects YOU as an individual. It is this very selfishness that has permeated the country and caused the current problem. There is no incentive to be prudent with your own finances at present. Run up a huge debt, you can always walk away from it with an IVA! Never mind the few responsible folk who ultimately have to pick up your bill. Let councils and other public bodies employ as many people as they want on huge salaries and pensions, doing unnecessary jobs (e.g. Five a Day Officers on £30,000+ - since their introduction we eat less fruit & veg than we did before they existed!). When there are enough of them they will carry the vote to keep this feckless government in place to protect their own positions.

I for one am fed up of having to pay for two other people in this country, other than my own family who I choose to support. Yes that's right, less than a third of this population work!

Whatever hardship is needed to put this country back in a position of stability is fine by me, provided that measures are taken to ensure that it can never return to such a sorry state. It is just a pity that so few of the current electorate are so blind to the true causes and are carried along by rhetoric and misplaced loyalties.

lets talk in may and put a cross on labour and keep these toffee nosed money grabbing scrotes under there slimey rocks where they belong...labour all the way...a low interest rate to keep a roof over our heads...not millions in extra cash on rick business mens bank accounts

Keane are just after the publicity! Has anybody else noticed that most of the comments made here by Labour supporters feature loads of spelling mistakes and poor writing. Could be an indication of the quality of education under Labour or just low intelligence!!

Cameron is a thief and a down right liar... is anyone really surprised with this latest pathetic gimmick

PRUDENCE BROWN DOES NOT NO THE MEANING OF THE WORD.PLEASE BRING BACK CONSERVATIVE VALUES AND COMMON SENSE TO PUT THE GREAT BACK TO BRITAIN.

The country is in a mess and all this band are worried about is who plays their music. I think they should be grateful that anyone plays it.

I think Keane, should be flatered that
A)Anyone would want to use their song
B)Be flatered that anyone think that Keane could add any politcal comment to this world
C) Consider the publicity for a band of who are they?
D) Shut up in general and speak to their record company about the issue......
E) Be happy and not try to kid us that they are some major life changing force>
F) No real thing against Keane fans,,,,, that think they are the bee's

I think Keane should be grateful to think that now millions of middle-aged older men will now be buying their records too ;-)
