LabourList : Balls Should Stop Lying About Cuts

When Ed Ball’s said he hardly knew “Mr McBride” how we all laughed, the Daily Telegraph’s then newly appointed chief political commentator, Ben Brogan, put the widely held view succintly: liar liar, pants on fire.

Mr10%

Balls is now disowning his “Tory Cuts, Labour Invests” strategy, briefing that the whole idea is down to that no good Shaun Woodward.   Yet it was under his own name that a circular went out to Labour activists attacking Cameron as “Mr 10% Cuts”.  When Fraser Nelson called Blinky a liar about Labour’s own cuts, Balls went bonkers, telling Nelson to withdraw the article and calling his Spectator editor, Matthew d’Ancona, to rant about the article.

BlinkyGod knows how he will respond to the LabourList article calling on him to drop the dishonest “Tories cut, Labour invests” mantra. Written by Brian Barder, who has been a Labour Party member for half-a-century, it is hyper-critical of the Balls line of attack, calling it dishonest and ham-fisted:

Labour promises actually to increase government spending, appear both dishonest and, perhaps worse, obviously and simple-mindedly dishonest.  This ham-fisted campaign is a tragedy for Labour… In … the disastrous circular, I suggested … the current line [is] depriving the government and the party of a different and much more positive line which would have the incidental advantages of being both truthful and credible…

Ouch. Ed Balls wrote for LabourList only last week about discrimination in the playground. He’ll be throwing his toys out of the pram this morning…

      Somewhat o/t, but why hasn’t anyone picked up on Brown’s increasingly desperate attempts to sell off nationalised bank assets (NRock, HBOS) before the election? Saint Cable says this will mean selling at a huge loss (worse than the gold sales fuck-up), and Brown is doing this solely to pre-empt post-election Conservative gains. Putting party before country, again. Gordon should be shot. Is there no true patriot willing to do the right thing?

          Why ring-fence foreign aid? We should be properly selfish, when we are strong we can be of even more help, but not when we are down, who is going to help us as we strive to be a third world country?

          Tesco have been doing clever, ruthless, profitable things successfully for so long that they may feel that they can take Northern Rock in their stride. So here’s some free advice to Terry Leahy: DO NOT BUY A BANK. A successful bank is a licence to print money. Therefore, nobody ever sells a bank unless it is a crock of total shite. If you are as experienced in banking as Bank Santander you might get away with it, but the odds are poor. Otherwise, do not touch it with an outsize metric barge-pole.

          China did indeed help the Tibetans. Is there any dispute about that? They introduced pressure cookers for one thing, so food was properly sterlised during cooking. Of course the Lamas didn’t like it, but they weren’t shown lampposts and pianowire, merely ejected from the country, which is the solution I advocate for the zanu liebore clique of cuckoos. Shangri-la? Pull the other one, it’s got Tibetan bells on it.

The best weapon against liars is the truth, if Cameron can show himself to be “honourable” and above the lies ( people know cuts are coming and expect intact want them) then he will win the next GE. On the other hand Cameron has idiots like Osborne in his shadow cabinet and that looks a pretty tall task . Renewel the state is what is needed and who ever captures that ground will win.

    The Tory 10% cuts strategy adopted by Brown and Balls is perhaps the biggest political mistake they have ever made.
    Everyone knew from the first time they uttered the words that it was unadulterated horse shit and it made them look idiotic as well as demonstrating clearly that they are simply bare faced liars who would do or say anything, no matter how dishonest, in order to cling onto power for its own sake.
    As I posted on an earlier thread, the issue from that moment was not of cuts, 10% or otherwise, rather it is all about the honesty or otherwise of Brown.

          Now in the English language, which may not be your mother tongue, and logically you were questioning whether or not the government kept its promise to increase government spending.

    God help the country if in some abyss style future he became PM & actually tried to commit British troops into action far away to further win the hearts & minds of foreigners.

Keep two cans back and attach them together with the last of the string. That will be your main field communication system. The cardboard box is for the snatch LandRover.

      And yet the government is going to cut spending.

      Why’s it doing that then?

      • 34
        Master Baiter says:

        It is not doing it now, before 2011.
        Understanably it is counter intuitive but it is more expensive to cut spending in a recession.
        The debate could more usefully be about where to spend and the efficiency of the spending.
        The recession is the manifestation of the private sector seizing up as a result of the crisis in the financial system after the start of the credit crunch. There are many insolvent banks and financial institutions that must be cured or slaughtered.
        Until that difficult task is carried out government spending is a form of life support and must be maintained or the consequences will be far worse.
        When it comes to settling the bill for the credit orgy, who pays?
        The old or the young
        The rich or the poor
        The weak or the strong
        The sick or the fit

        • 46
          Doctor Mick says:

          The government does not produce its own wealth – it takes it from the private sector. The more it takes, the more unlikely the private sector will recover, the longer the recession will last.

          I wont argue with you over the spending of various banks and the huge bonuses they engendered.

          This was part 1 of the problem but this was both encouraged and overseen by the govt of the day. And the buck stops with them. They have and had the responsibilty for the financial system so they can blame noone but themselves.

          Part 2 was how to react. A responsible govt that truely represented the people could have took the £500Bn pledged to financial sector, let all the failing banks go to the wall and lent directly to the people with no interest and long term no cost loans. This would have encourage the entrepreneurs, put money on the highstreet and given its people both esteem and belief, as well as doing away with the evil of usury.

          Instead this money has gone into a black hole and the CDS balance has still not been acknowledged. So in effect all this bailout money has probably been wasted. Wasted in real terms but not by the socialists who now own the banks.

          This would have been truely govt action of and for the people but like the good socialists/communists they are they want to control every aspect of our lives and thats why they want control of the money supply. Now they have it.

I don’t mean the lower paid ones, I mean the chiefs. There are too many well paid chiefs and not enough Indians. Of course newlabour have engineered this, they want plenty of sycophants.

        Do not forget MB likes to string together multiple statements and insults. Once analysed they are nothing but smoke and mirrors. Witness:

        1. ‘The ‘editor’ of Labour List also called for Gordon Brown’s resignation’ -

        Brian Barder also encouraged him to soldier on and Alex Smith called for his resignation about the time of the election results in June. Different circumstances. Still it serves to muddy the waters and disrupt the discussion

        2. ‘If you think Government spending has caused the recession, you’re mad’ -

        Guaranteed to get off subject and start a rant. However,that is not the subject under discussion. The issue is denial of the need to cut spending and who set out the strategy.

        3.’If you think cutting government spending now will slow the recession you’re mad.’

        Another angle using the same tactics. He knows the majority view on here already and this will provoke responses and break up the thread.

        Again,this was not the original subject.

        You will notice that MB works to a strategy:

        1. Present theory as fact. sometimes quote tractor stats,usually nothing to do with the UK.Often challenge you to review the facts elsewhere -which often do not exist. Good for pissing you off though.

          1) He has accused me of ‘Caribbean thinking’ – a depicable slur against people of West Indies ancestry.

          2) He applies Irish name prefixes (e.g. O’Cameron) presumably to insult our host and to somehow denigrate as the target as ‘thick’.

      The fact is simple – the bunch of money grabbing lunatics came in to power in 1997 – rubbing their sweaty hands together with the thought of all the money the Tories had built in reserves. And promtly spent the lot.

      And when times were good – they borrowed even more and it never occurred to them to ask the question – “how do we pay it back”

      So now times are bad – they borrow even more.

      Any idiot who thinks that borrowing money with no way to pay it back is a clever fiscal strategy deserves the pain this country is going to face for the next decade.

      However – for the rest of the country who have to suffer because of these idiots it is totally unfair. We should have them all in court.

        Every single budget this government has ever made is reverse engineered. They pick a point five years in the future at which point they declare spending will be under control and there will be no more deficits and then make up a Salvador Dali/Heath Robinson set of figures to ‘explain’ how they got those figures.

        Meanwhile they spend as recklessly as they like.

    Balls is typical of the labour bullies who have served time at the Treasury. They treat tax income as a right, and enjoy spending the money on whatever “Nishyatiffs” they can think up.

    Incidentally, Balls or someone like him,was saying the other day that Tory cuts in capital spending would mean that no schools n’hospitals would be built. However, I thought that schools and hopsitals were all now promoted through PFI style schemes, that means their capital cost is not reflected on the government balance sheet – although their enormous running costs have to be counted in the current spending. May be Fraser Nelson could investigate these sorts of statements and shoot them down if necessary?

          Clean air for all says:-

          “What do you think the doner would say if s/he knew his heart or any other organ was going to someone who was going to abuse it. They’re not getting any of mine that’s for sure.”

          What makes you think that smokers don’t donate hearts or any other organs?

        • 234
          Clean air for all says:

          They don’t donate their hearts / lungs etc because they are not suitable once they have been polluted.

          216… so you think that smoking was saving the businesses that closed? Surely any well run business would survive and the ones that cannot adapt to market conditions would collapse in any event?

          I have a family member who owns a pub, They simply created an outdoors smoking area, without patio heaters before some smart alex wants to point out. Trade actually went up, no doubt due to less thoughtful landlords not investing in a solution.

          Bingo halls close due to Internet gambling becoming more accessible. Restaurants close because of crap service and menus not a smoking ban, Wetherspoons have increased revenues post smoking ban.

          Quoting GP rates for succeeding in alloted tasks and expecting us to think it is a waste of money is crap too. Incentivising the people at the point of delivery when workload is large in any event clearly is a clever way to ensure that policy is enacted. I do agree that in the current climate that this could be revisited in order to save money. But that is thanks to the bankers not our hard working doctors etc .

          Finally I am not an anti smoking nutter. I agree they should be allowed to ruin their lives if they want too. I just think that like the civil duty we all have to contribute to society by working and paying our fair share of taxes, we have a duty to not intentionally harm ourselves and place an undue pressure on our services. And that is not just the NHS it applies across all services.

          This string started because I objected to a defamatory video being posted and someone being called a Nazi unnecessarily for pointing out some patient wasted two hearts when they could have gone to more deserving people. I just hope none of you get into that position and are waiting for surgery when some prat couldn’t give a toss.

          Small point, but aren’t such rounds made of *depleted* uranium? That’s U238 with nearly all the valuable radioactive U235 removed. I don’t doubt for a second that oxidized 238 is foul stuff to have around the house, but radioactive?

    It's all Balls says:

    Mr Wrinklyhairyandslightlysweaty epitomises the worst of NuLab. They rose to power on the basis of spin and don’t know how else to govern.

    So “Balls tells porkies” is hardly a drop the dead donkey moment in political journalism.

    Now, a real scoop and a headline grabbing story would be “Balls tells the truth”

      He’s clearly not in charge… like the last days of Breshnev.

      There’s an unseemly scramble for power going on behind the scenes: Mandy, Balls, Woodward, Millibent all at it. Meanwhile the country is going down the pan while these clowns try to realise their ambitions.

    It’s good to see a rational response and counterarguement from the left as opposed to Brown’s”black is white”denial of the patently obvious.It still astonishes me that the Parliamentary Labour party first foisted this delusional plonker on us and have since kept him there even as he ruins both party and country.

    Phil Smith says:

    “The not so caring voice of the NHS.”

    So we have now plummeted the depths where we may be reliant on anti smoking zealots like Jane DeVille-Almond has the power of death over life-similar to Adolf Hitler! Holding senior positions in ‘charitable’ concerns it does not seem that this evil minded woman is very charitable at heart.
    Who the hell does she think she is dictating how we should all live? If she wants to save the NHS money (which Nat. Ins Contributions supposedly cater for) then she wants to concentrate more on destroying things like MRSA-not smokers.
    For a highly ‘respected’ (was) and ‘influential’ (perhaps not for much longer?) person to be allowed to trot out such verbal hatred to smokers there must be something seriously wrong with the mentality of non smokers. She should be sacked immediately and relieved from all charitable duties for she is nothing but a “hate mongerer” who feels that a certain minority should be eradicated from this earth.
    All I can conclude is that this creature was aptly named. Almond-NUT!

      Seaxe says:

      If we had to pay for our health care “out of our own pockets” i.e. private health insurance, the insurers would make damned sure they knew how much you smoked or drank before quoting you a premium.

      As we are now with the NHS a slim, fit, non-smoker who doesn’t drink can pay exactly the same in to the system as a fat, boozy, 60-a-day couch potato.

      They’re not spending money, but running up debts they cannot repay. Someone will have to honour commitments they are making but it will not be the Labour Party.

    Percy B. Shelley says:

    Sonnet: England in 2009

    An old, mad, blind, despised, and dying king, –
    Princes, the dregs of their dull race, who flow
    Through public scorn, — mud from a muddy spring, –
    Rulers who neither see, nor feel, nor know,
    But leech-like to their fainting country cling,
    Till they drop, blind in blood, without a blow, –
    A people starved and stabbed in the untilled field, –
    An army, which liberticide and prey
    Makes as a two-edged sword to all who wield, –
    Golden and sanguine laws which tempt and slay;
    Religion Christless, Godless — a book sealed;
    A Senate, — Time’s worst statute unrepealed, –
    Are graves, from which a glorious Phantom may
    Burst, to illumine our tempestous day.

    Balls taking over from Brown would be the best thing that could happen for the Tories. Of all the bunker occupants, Balls is the one that I suspect the public mistrust the most.

    From his sneering “So what” to his school bully face and persona, this oaf has electoral disaster written all over him. Not to mention that fact that everything he touches seems to turn into a shambolic shower of shit.

    The Jonah effect inheritance is surely his for the taking…

    So please, let Balls rise up the greasy NuLabour pole.

    It will be a pleasure watching the public give their verdict come election time, and wiping that oily grin off of his smirking, sniggering smug mug.

      The only violence so far has come from the antifascist league.

      The link is a good one, the article is Guardian drivel. There is no substance whatever in the reported threat other than “Well it might happen”.

      Police recommend employing more police just in case.

      The impression is that the article is trying to put ideas into someone’s head and encourage them.

      Or maybe somebody in Government is planning to stage an “event”, it wouldn’t be the first time.

    I don’t give a stuff what he says/does about anything. He’s an arsehole.

    Balls is a bit of a funny one- he seems to be only interested in being in the Treasury or in No.10. He seems crushingly awful at thinking and talking about anything related to his supposed job in charge of all things to do with Children, so in any normal walk of life would have been moved away. Why doesn’t Brown sack him? Do they have some sort of bloke-ish bond that transcends normal boss/underling relationships? Lets call it Brow-lls or Br-alls. A bit like Camer-bourne on the other side. In think we should be told.
