    I spent years studying stuff and following the media but have tuned a lot of that out. A lot of it just became baggage and got in the way. Dropping it doesn’t negate knowledge and experience but like, say, and economy I can reshape and reform my views in better ways more easily.

      ‘The RAGE’ so often seen on this site is a losing strategy which is why maturity, demonstrating solutions to people’s problems, and just acknowledging regular folks in a friendly way is the best path Labour can follow: achievement, love, and reality are Labour’s best tools.

      One presumes Charles is unemployed by the number of times he’s the first. If so, it explains the quality and depth of the comments.

      It would be good and right and proper to see some of those thieving bastards on the government benches serving VERY long sentences as well, in fucking jail…. no better than benefit cheats. Starting with the former Home Secretary.

      Not much chance of that now you’ve politicised the police, eh? Calling in the SFO as a good way of kicking things into the long grass… and when they emerge from the SFO, the party ignores it on the grounds of “national security”???

      Really? This is ‘creative accounting’ at its finest – not including PPF schemes, which conveniently get forgotten about by the Hoons in Government. Add them in and our national debt goes sky high, as we all know full well.

      Roll on the Election – the people will speak, and Liebour won’t like the message.

          No wonder government debt is spiralling out of control.

          A combination of horny kids (encouraged by ‘Society’ to bonk at the earliest opportunity) and feckless public spending ends up with more teenagers pregnant and the money wasted.

          “Teen pregnancies drive ‘fails’

          A £5.9 million Government drive to help cut pregnancies among disadvantaged teenagers failed when numbers actually increased, research has suggested.

          The Young People’s Development Programme (YPDP) ran in 27 parts of England between 2004 and 2007, based on a similar model in New York and was designed to offer education and support for 13 to 15-year-olds who were deemed at risk of exclusion from school, drug abuse and teenage pregnancy.

          A total of 2,371 teenagers took part in the programme to some extent over the three years, at a cost of £2,500 each, but the latest research shows that young women who attended the programme were “significantly” more likely to fall pregnant than those in a comparison group.

          A total of 16% of the YPDP group fell pregnant compared with 6% in the other group, which was a youth programme not receiving YPDP funds.”

          A little economical with the facts I think. Comparisons are not valid as the UK debt does not include:

          PFI
          Public Sector Pension Liabilities
          Bank Bailout Costs.
          They could increase our debt to 100%+ of GDP. Who knows what the level will be?

          Comparisons with other countries are also not valid:

          Japan- part of the current debt was created during the severe recession she experienced previously. We had a period of economic growth which should have reduced our debt levels.

          France- a basket case where introduction of the 35 hour week has added 100 billion to their debt % as a conservative estimate,among other things.

          Germany -has a manufacturing industry,so she will have some prospect of economic growth in the future. Our hopes are pinned on financial services. She also has absorbed the costs of merging East/West Germany which were not inconsiderable.

          MB,

          They are technology creators, manufacturers & more importantly – exporters.

          You cannot compare the public sector / service economy model we have with the countries you mentioned.

          We make next to nothing in comparison & therefore cannot trade our way out of this morass of McStalins making.

          Ahhh…the heady days of the end to boom & bust…….

        • 144
          Sir William Waad says:

          MB is right. We do not have the burden of national debt that some countries have – yet. This is because we did not have a really grossly profligate Government until 1997 and before then we were even running budget surpluses. Governments in other countries have for decades been borrowing money in order to throw pork to their friends and financial backers.

    Sir Mufbourne-Harbor says:

    Well, her answer to why we are ‘fighting’ in afghanistan is clear. To educate children, democracy and to protect the border on pakistan because there is a crucible of terrorists there potentially. Not worth the cost to our service personnel or taxation IMO. A very weak argument when so much suffering at home. I wonder what the real reason is?

      Someone pressed for better equipment for our lads in Aghanistan -she agreed they needed more helicopters – prospect of them being sent soon? Nil.

      She was asked to stop banks paying out big bonuses – she said the government was doing what it could – so no change there.

      She wittered something about the govt having rebuilt schools and hospitals – not here they haven’t – we’re using a hosital built in the 1930’s and our local comprehensive was built in the 1970’s – neither are fit for purpose but then we are in a tory constituency – so that explains that.

      William was disappointing today – not like him at all.

        Engineer says:

        There’s a sort of “going through the motions” feel to politics at the moment. They all know an election is round the corner, but it’s too soon to be publically electioneering. The Conservatives want to keep their powder dry, knowing that the government would either twist the ideas and rubbish them, or shamelessly steal them. Labour are desperately dressing up cuts as ‘investment’, which line nobody believes, and nobody takes much notice of the Lib Dems anyway – possibly a little unfairly. They are all treading a bit cautiously after the expenses scandal and squeakergate. Finally, they’re all in pre-holiday wind-down mode. Result – we’re all bored, and want something to get our teeth into. (Back to the Ashes for me – which is disrupting work even more than blogging does!)

    If you get a chance to see Eyebrow’s reply back to George it’s worth it, just to see the crap he spouts. To keep the same failed tripartite system and say we’ll make it better is just bollocks.

    And he reckons that it is fine for George to have received the papers by 11:30 when the rest of the MSM could put it into print early morning.

      Politics is on hold for a few says for the G8 summit, as the dismal PMQs today showed – I’m sure I remember Hague being way better than he was today though.

            I’ve tried analysing my posts each time I get modded for words, phrases, topics – I’ve never found the reason.

            Sorry you are not having a good day what with a boring PMQ’s , cricket and now this.

            Just think of gordon being billeted in an officer training school barracks for the duration of the G8 – I bet Berlusconi has billeted himself, Obama and Sarkozy in much nicer quarters.

        One of the worse things that could happen would be an earthquake in which all the heads of the G8 were wiped out. Only ‘one of the worse’ though. Losing my hamster would be a greater disaster.

      “[the public] are not entitled to drool over our private lives”

      We are not interested in this pillock’s private live, we are interested in his expenses, which are incurred in the public service, paid out of public funds, and can therefore reasonably be regarded as our business.

      Unless of course, he has connected his private life to public funds in some way…
