Cuts, Lies and Videotape

Remember Fraser Nelson pleading with the Prime Mentalist to tell the truth?

The tape doesn’t lie.  Unlike Gordon.

UPDATE 23.10 : Newsnight’s David Grossman has just run this pooled clip, without the Sky overlays. If you look carefully you can spot Grossman smirking in the front row.

    I’d like to see the context of that quote.

      Steve Expat says:

      The context is that Brown said that spending would rise in the next few years, his own Treasury budget figures said they would fall.

      Brown would not answer the question about this anomoly when asked over a dozen times at PMQs by the leader of the Opposition who had the figures in front of him, prefering to say that Labour is the party of investment and the Tories are the party of 10% cuts

      Yesterday he all but admitted that he’s been talking shit for months and that he intends to cut spending just as much as the Tories do…

          That’s clear then – No cuts.

          Perhaps meant No cuts in borrowing, or cutting the National Debt that Sod face, and his little gang have run up.

          Gordon is full of it isn’t he. By the time he and his knacker government have bankrupt every commercial company, I wonder who will pay the TAX to pay his wages?

          Boudicca says:

          I think he must have meant that public spending is continuing to rise, but negatively. In order words the REDUCTION in public spending will continue to rise (so that the reduction INCREASES in size each year).

          After all, the honest son of the manse couldn’t possibly tell a lie – could he.

        and the people were perplexed and did not know which way to turn and so the Lord decided to pay them a visit to set them straight and so he came down from Heaven and called out to his people
        “Yo people” cried the Lord “I am here to offer you a warning. Satan has used a turkey baster to impregnate an earthly woman and she has born the fruit of beelzebub. You will know the son of Satan by the following signs: he is Scottish and has one eye and his human father is a manse. He will blether on about moral compasses but will he will always lie to you, he will be lower than a snakes belly and there is no mistruth he will not tell to keep his job which he is shit at.
        These are the signs, remember them well. And when you discover this evil son of Satan you must kill him quickly and without mercy for he is mine enemy.
        The person who kill Satan’s Son will be guaranteed entry to heaven and can have 72 virgins aswell, the whole deal”
        Amen

          innit.

        • 336

          Anyone who claims they are a “literay genius” probably isn’t one. In fact, allow me to correct that sentence:

          “thick as thieves is a literay genius, a blogging version of hunter s thompson if you like and he is able to write in many styles.”

          “”Thick as thieves” is a literary genius, a blogging verion of Hunter S. Thompson, if you like, and he is able to write in many styles.”

          It’s always dangerous when you complain about other people’s errors as you make yourself a bit of a target. Alastair Campbell recently made a bit of a fool of himself in claiming that news had to have an apostrophe after it*.

          I do feel that the grammatical errors in tat’s usual, insulting comments are inconsistent with the genius and wit of the comment at 11:39am. Who really wrote this?

          * “The subject heading was ‘leaders debate’ (apostrophe after the s on leaders missing) and the message below was Sky News’ campaign (apostrophe correctly used) for a debate between the parties leaders (apostrophe required after parties).”

        No cuts until 2010 says:

        No, sorry. Gordon Brown said that there would be cuts AFTER the general election. Knowing they HAVE to be done, and feeling pretty confident that New Labour will loose the general election, he has promised to protect frontline services, and cuts in 2010…..

        From 2010 onwards New Labour and their unions will attack the Tories who WILL cut to attempt to balance the UK’s books. The Tories will be called the nasty / heartless party all over again.

        You see, you should only ever vote Labour, we will protect your jobs, whilst the Tories will cut.

        Same bullshit as all the other times Labour have plunged the UK economy into deep shit.

        To quote Brown “In every year in the future public spending will continue to rise”. How happy does that make me feel. Everything will be allright then with the hospitals having more money, the schools will have more teachers and we will all be happy ever after. What a shame Brown will not be around to spend even more of our money and it will be left for those nasty Conservatives to …………..?

      His big porkie pie from yesterday is now being rumbled and the Tories apparently have the proof in documents passed to them.

      ITN news

      The Tories are accusing Gordon Brown of keeping plans for huge spending cuts ‘secret’. Shadow chancellor George Osborne claims the Prime Minister is misleading Parliament and the public after obtaining Treasury documents apparently showing that ministers are considering cuts of almost 10 per cent.
      He said the Conservatives had been leaked internal papers containing the details.

      These are not just cuts these are M & S cuts

          If I found Cameron or Brown in my living room, I would call the police and hand myself in for doing the country a big favour by killing the traitors.

          Both are dedicated to handing this sovereign country over wholesale to the the profoundly anti-democratic EU oligarchy. They both should be hung for treason.

          To clarify, This is not an admission of any intent on my part, as I have NO intention of ever meeting, nor attempting to meet either of these traitors. In fact I would go out of my way to avoid meeting them.

          Ivor @ 367 and 461. I’ve observed the same. In Aus and NZ there are stronger English traditions than the UK (although officially we will deny it). The Anglicised parts of the Carribean (I particularly like Bardados) are charming. However, when the jumbo starts decending into the grey mist at Heathrow my heart sinks. I remember a couple of years ago on the tube from Heathrow to Paddington – a drunk tramp was pissing his pants. Nobody batted an eyelid. Getting through customs in the UK now is putting me off travelling to the UK – as a white man, the ethnic officers obviously regard me as a problem. If I was black & they were white I’d say it was racist.

      Yet again we must remember 3rd Oct 2007.

      The day David Cameron made his famous conference speech. The conference speech that caused Brown to bottle an election he would almost certainly have won.

      Can you imagine if, instead of nine more months of this abortion of a government, we had another full three years of such idiocy ahead of us? Imagine if, instead of printing 175bn quid just to buy him over the finish line of June (because it’s the right thing to do) he had to print enough money to buy him over the finish line of Oct 2012?

      Some fucking speech Cameron.

      If we get through this nightmare then people will quote snippets of that speech in the same revered tones as they quote some of Churchill’s speeches. Because without doubt, and I don’t want to get ahead of history here because we are not our of the clusterfuck yet, but if we do survive then that was the speech wot did it.

      The speech that saved us from three further years of economic destruction.

        That was certainly the turning point, the point at which the public considered the Tories to be electable and forced Brown to cancel the election which might have given him legitimacy as PM.

          No. Brown would have won that election. Labour were well ahead in the polls and the economic crisis which started in America and has fuck all to do with me, Gordon Brown, was only just heaving into view for the average voter.

          Brown would have won that election at a canter. He could still have pointed to his ‘record’ of consecutive quarters of ‘growth’. Each one bought with 10bn quid of borrowed money. Just as he’s gearing up to claiming the recession is ‘over’ after printing 175bn quid to pay his army of public servants.

          But one speech scared the shit out of him.

          And so we were saved three extra years of such malign idiocy.

      The reason that they ALWAYS call for an “enquiry” is to provide a reason for them to avoid talking about the lies that they get caught in.
      Methodology :
      A) Lie, lie, lie, don’t stop until you get caught.
      B) Call for an enquiry, to discover who leaked the TRUTH
      C) The Liars now have a reason never to even discuss the substance of the LIES
      (“I can’t talk on that subject, I can’t jepardise the conclusions of the enquiry”)
      D) go to A) above, with a new lie,
      E) Repeat as needed.

      Labour are buying TIME, That is their SINGLE objective. Everything that they do buys them more time.

      These fuckwits are doing everything possible to maintain the status quo to ensure that the final couple of notches on the cog of European membership click over and the ratchet locks the UK into permanent full membership of the EU uber state.

      They don’t plan on winning the next election so they won’t call it until the ratchet has locked the door shut behind us.

      Labour won’t mind losing the UK general Election, because the EU Parliament pickings are much better than the UK pickings, jobs for their own is what motivates these arseholes, never the interests of anyone on the outside of their circle.
      - And certainly not the interests of The People.

      They will do everything to keep Brown in position rather than risk being forced to call an early election by sacking him and appointing another unelected PM. This would risk their jobs in europe, which will be about the only employment that ANY of them could get otherwise.

      Then, who cares who wins an election here, the UK parliament will be relegated to the status of a borough council with the LieingLabour fuckwits all getting cushy jobs plus massive benefits for themselves in the EU parliament.

They can only keep doing the same wrong things, printing money and further poisoning the economy and hope that something turns up.

    Atlas shrugged says:

    The International Banking system has been running World Communism, since world communism first began, very possibly well before.

    Get that little gem into your even smaller brains, and you might start seeing the wood for the trees. In fact, properly understand that this is our true reality, and all WILL become crystal clear.

    The USSR did not actually fall at all, the same types of people who were more secretly running The old USSR, are indeed still running it today, albeit a little less secretly.

    Since 1989 the powers that be have instituted a new plan for controlling the entire world to replace their old method. This newer system is usually known as The New World Order.

    Only a very few people know exactly what this New World Order is going to be like, but I hope we are all started to get a better idea.

    It is a system which is carefully and systematically DESIGNED to be a combination of western FASCISM and eastern COMMUNISM. The free-market was never free, and it is about to get very much less so.

    The free market did not fail and neither did communism. Both have been instructed to fail at more or less the same time.

    For to force a ‘new’ way of ‘doing business’ on the population of the world, a criminal psychopath must first largely destroy the old way, by conspiring to get us all feeding from the same pocket, or not feeding at all. that pocket being the IMF and associated internationalist banking and political organizations.

    This has largely been done by cleverly getting virtually every individual, and ALL national governments into simply massive debt, that can never be paid back. This using media and ministerial lies, along with the even more tried and tested method that is deliberately created BOOM and BUST.

    So my advice is this.

    TRUST no one, not even myself.

    You have no friends in GOVERNMENT, absolutely none. Their passionate hated for individual property and property rights, is only surpassed by their utter contempt for the common people in general. They have been long since conspiring to make us stupid, and what is worse, we are now more incredibly stupid then I personally ever thought possible.

    We have willingly handed over the control over our lives to people who don’t give a monkeys whether we live or die. We are simply a number to these monsters from the abyss.

    A number that has far less value to them then their pet hamster or Corgi.

    In fact we are not even worth a string of garden runner beans to THEIR worlds REAL ruling elites. An elite power that selects American presidents and British PM’s like one might a whore in a Bangkok Brothel.

    After all, do you really think the people that really rule this planet, would ever trust people like Clinton, Bush, Blair or Brown to run anything more important then their own bath?

    These people/puppets are not economists, they are not even intelligent in any notable fashion.

    They are ALL no better then half decent double-glazing salesmen/women, and we are the biggest load of suckers, to have ever populated this planet.

      • 632
        Atlas shrugged says:

        Please explain why you persist in referring to lizards, virtually every time i make a comment.

        What, pray tell, do lizards have to do with communism, or any other ism.

        The International banking system has either been financing and therefore controlling world communism or it has not been. Are you sure that it has not? Why are you so sure, have you been watching too much BBC TV again ACO.

        Come to think about it, what is there in life that you can be truly sure about. Do you know for 100% certain that your wife really loves you, or even that your children are really your own. Statistics tell us, that of those fathers that believe that they are the true father, including married fathers. 20% of the children are genetically not their children at all. That is one hell of a lot of lies that must have been told. Yet the poor suckers still must have believed the ‘lying tart.’

        Humans can be very clever, but they all have a very stupid streak a mile wide, especially men with a less preferentially sized penis, or wallet. This is more commonly known as mindless wishful thinking, or trusting people or things that have absolutely no given right to be trusted, and many vested interests to protect. Like for example politicians, scientists, economists, bankers, journalists, school-teachers, religious leaders, and of course parents.

        However, I still fail to see where lizards come into all of this. Do you have some kind of sexual problem going on somewhere, like not being able to get any from a normal human being?

        If so, go see a vet or something, just stop going on about lizards, and start thinking for a change.

For starters I can think of the minimum wage, stronger job rights (THATCHER UNION REFORMS?), children’s centres (?), tax credits putting cash into the purses of poorer families (AND THE CROOKS AND MIDDLES CLASSES), improved deals for pensioners (0.5% INT RATES) and the healthiest-ever NHS (LETS BRUSH STAFFORD UNDER THE CARPET).”
    but it did lead to this gem over at Red Rag, bet the workers are watching what Magna do very closely:

    Kirsty.McBraun@thebunker.gov.uk says:

    You are all missing the point. Gordon Brown has been entirely clear on this issue.

    When Gordon Brown said that there would be no return to boom and bust under a Labour government, what he actually meant was there would be no return to Tory boom and bust under a Labour government.

    Likewise, when he said that the Labour government would not cut public spending, he meant there will be no Tory cuts under a Labour government. The positions of the two parties could not be clearer.

    As we know, Labour cuts are quite different to Tory cuts: Labour cuts are aimed at hard-working families, whereas Tory cuts are designed to hurt the most vulnerable in society.

    All that is important to him is to be able to call himself Prime Minister. Because you see he deserves the job. It was promised to him by Tony. Brown will lie, cheat, steal… anything to keep a grasp on power. Everyone and everything else can go to hell.

      Brown simply can’t face the reality of what happens to him personally after he is finally persuaded to quit.
      If he quits now he’s not at the tape riding the winner when the UK finally dissolves into the monster EU.
      If he quits now it would likely precipitate a General Election whose result might derail the melt into the EU.
      If either of these things happen he is unemployable, an utter failure and loser. So he must just hang on whatever, entirely to save his own skin and to ensure himself “an important job” in European politics with a long shot at the EU Presidency, this is why he won’t budge.
      As an aside, if he is on the strong medication mentioned in the rumors, these meds advise not to drive or operate machinenary, surley under some rule or other this bars him from running the country – he should be sent home immediately as sick and unfit for work and medically retired – at least he would save some face.

    No More Boom and Bust

    As the IMF state that we are in the shit big time, thought it apposite to remind everyone that Gordon has done away with boom and bust.

    1) Tony Blair: 1997 Conference Speech

    “I want this to be the New Labour Government that ended Tory boom and bust forever.”

    2) Gordon Brown: July 1997

    “Today, the Bank of England has agreed with me that, if we are to prevent the cycle of boom and bust, inflationary pressures in the economy, which the previous Government negligently failed to tackle, must be brought under control ”

    3) Gordon Brown: November 1997

    “I am satisfied that the new monetary policy arrangements will deliver long-term price stability, and prevent a return to the cycle of boom and bust.”

    4) Gordon Brown: April 1998

    “We will not return to the stop-go, boom-bust years which we saw under the Conservatives. ”

    5) Gordon Brown: May 1998

    “The Government have put in place policies to deliver that objective and are determined to avoid a return to boom and bust.”

    6) Gordon Brown: June 1998

    “rigorous financial discipline that, together with monetary stability, ends once and for all the boom and bust that for 30 years has undermined stability ”

    7) Tony Blair: February 1999

    “Moreover, for decades we have been prone to far greater swings in the economic cycle than our continental counterparts. It has been boom and bust….Under this Government, there is an entirely new framework for economic management in place ”

    8) Ruth Kelly: November 1999

    “The Government have rejected the boom and bust of the Conservative party ”

    9) Tony Blair: November 1999

    “We have the best chance of ending boom and bust in years.”

    10) Gordon Brown: November 1999

    “Indeed, Britain was set to repeat the old, familiar cycle of boom and bust. Since then, we have created and rigorously adhered to a new framework of modern economic management ”

    10) Alistair Darling: January 2000

    “On top of that, we have a healthy and stable economy and an end to the boom and bust that characterised the Tory years.”

    11) Alan Johnson: February 2000

    “The Government’s first priority on coming to office was to secure long-term economic stability and put an end to the damaging cycle of boom and bust.”

    12) Gordon Brown: March 2000

    “Britain does not want a return to boom and bust. ”

    13) Tony Blair: 2000 Conference Speech

    “The first big choice: a government with the strength to deliver stability, or a government that takes the country back to boom and bust.”

    14) Gordon Brown: November 2000

    “Our approach is to reject the old vicious circle of the ’80s–rising debt, higher long-term interest rates, higher debt repayment costs, lower growth, higher unemployment, then enforced cuts in public spending. That was the old boom and bust.”

    15) Gordon Brown: March 2001

    “We will not return to boom and bust.”

    16) Ruth Kelly: May 2002

    “We must avoid a return to the days of boom and bust that manufacturers had to endure for a long time under the Conservatives.”

    17) Yvette Cooper: May 2004

    “We know that they want to turn the clock back, but it would be foolish to turn it back to a policy of boom and bust.”

    18) John Prescott : January 2005

    “Labour economic stability has replaced Tory boom and bust ”

    19) Tony Blair: 2005 Conference Speech

    “In the first two terms we corrected the weaknesses of the Tory years: boom-and-bust economics ”

    20) Alistair Darling: March 2005

    “As I said, there are two approaches—first, a strong economy, stability and helping families or, secondly, the Tory cuts, the undermining of stability, and a return to the boom and bust of the 1990s.”

    21) Gordon Brown: March 2006

    “I have said before: no return to boom and bust.”

    22) Gordon Brown: December 2006

    “Boom and bust is a term that applied to the Conservative years and two of the worst recessions in history”

    23) Gordon Brown: March 2007

    “We will not return to the old boom and bust.”

    24) Alistair Darling: June 2007

      Max says:

      I said as much yesterday on here; it was in fact a very well put together speech because it could be heard in two ways. Despite the MSM headlines Gordon has in no way said that “spending cuts” are needed or that they will happen; the McDoom’s very clever speech says that certain “costs” will be cut and that is very different.

      The tractor stats suggest that spending will continue and that is what the unions told him last week they needed to hear.

      This speech enables the McDoom to backtrack and squirm and continue to promise all things to all hoons. Very clever. For the terminally thick.

      What he could say = “cut costs”
      What he could not say = “cut expenditure”

      A clever speech; you can “hear” what you like.

      All of the MSM will hear/say he is going to cut expenditure, all of the ZNL faithful will hear/say he is going to continue spending.

      Yesterday I linked to the transcript and nowhere, anywhere, within his speech did McDoom say that he would cut expenditure or expenditure would be cut (except, he said “by the tories”).

      Clearly you can talk about cutting “waste” (who wouldn’t) but the man is still in denial about cutting expenditure and certainly there is no acknowledgement of any kind for the underlying core need for a smaller state.

      I have never felt so much hate and revulsion for anyone before. He is literally pulling the strands of this country apart with his grubby, chewed, spiteful fingers, Britain is being turned into the psychopathological engram of Brown’s fragmented, asocial dysmentation. A map of his mind would look like a Harare suburb after a fire.

      A leader who does not have the support of his people is not a leader, he is a tyrant, pure and simple.

    In labour, there’s no such thing as a lie, there’s only a “change of policy due to reasons outside anyone’s control [all the americans' fault]“.

    ie when they lie about their policy/actions, they wait until they’re forced to contront the fact that they’ve been talking complete lies, and then they say they’ve changed their policy, they never admit to actually lying in the first place.

    Gordon Brown still hasn’t admitted that he lied about the doubling of the 10pct tax rate; he just says he was “hurt” by the accusation that he didn’t want to help the poor; he still won’t admit that his basic maths/logic was just a total bunch of lying shite.

    Cable’s argument for not chastising brown is
    “I wasn’t misled. I think we all realised, who have studied government documents, that cuts were on the way,”

    ie, he knew that Brown always lies, so he just ignored what Brown said and used the treasury documents instead.

    Cable: don’t make excuses for brown. you’re saying that it’s fine for the PM to tell blatent lies as long as everyone knows that he’s a liar and ignores everything he says. That’s no way to run a country. Your argument of “the PM can lie, that’s fine, because nobody listens to him anyway because we all know he lies about everything” is utter shite. Your argument instead should be “everyone now knows that the PM is a proven liar on every topic he ever speaks about, so he needs to go and we need to have an election. we can’t have a PM that nobody can trust/believe on any/every single subject. If his mouth’s moving then he must be lying; we can’t accept that state of affairs”

          Vince Cable was once of course a member of Labour Party in a previous political existence, fighting a parliamentary seat for them.At university he had been a member of the Liberal Party and also flirted with David Owen’s SDP until they amalgamated with the LibDems.In the 1970′s he was special economics adviser to the future Labour leader John Smith who also was patron of one up and coming Labour politician in the late 70′s early 80′s – James Gordon Brown.

    I have cracked it, not only is Gordon suffering from clinical depression or some form of anxiety disorder he is also schizophrenic. One of the key symptoms is disorganized speech and thinking with significant social or occupational dysfunction.

    According to the oracle of information that is Wikipedia “The disorder is thought to mainly affect cognition, but it also usually contributes to chronic problems with behavior and emotion. People with schizophrenia are likely to have additional (comorbid) conditions, including major depression and anxiety disorders”

    It’s time for one of the Gordons (I assume there is only two – there may be more) to come clean and admit it.

    It is quite possible that Lord Mandy is Gordons therapist (would explain why he has Gordons ear) and is slipping him the pills to control his Jekyll & Hide personality.

          They managed to lose the bank account details of every single family household in the country, but nobody was responsible for that either because it would have shown negligence on the part of a bunch of labour twats who were supposed to be overseeing security procedures, so it was nobody’s fault, and the fact that everybody’s bank details are now being held by some fraudster on a cd is just “a bit of a shame, but nevermind.”

    Dear Gordon,

    How can any woman consider you to be a man worthy of sharing a bed with?

    Anyone caught lying surely must have a flaccid penis due to an absence of self-esteem.

    If a man cannot respect the truth, if he is unable to be honest, then the consequence once the bedrooom light turns off is real; he remains a “little man” if you know what I mean.

    Even the position of power cannot overcome the self-hatred you must feel inside to be able to casually lie as you do.

    You often talk of admiring courage? Does it take courage to openly lie?

    Yours sincerely,

    A female who finds your mind and your values, a real turn off. You are not a real man.

      I don’t think you understand.

      He was also lying about the size of it, so that he could get you into bed in the first place. That was most likely the biggest it actually gets. This is the real reason why men who lie a lot, generally have small or dis-functional sexual equipment. They SIMPLY HAVE TO LIE MORE, or they end up wanking progressively more, then they already do.

      Of course REAL men like myself don’t need to lie about anything, especially the size and performance of our penis. We still wank a fair old amount, but there again wanking is one of the few remaining worthwhile things about being a man.

      We tend to use ‘word of mouth’ as our best advertisement, and our seeming ability to get-em, faster then we can get rid of them.

      I could go on to mention the other only ways into a womens heart/knickers, which of course includes such measurements as ‘size of future or present wallet,’ and slightly less covert forms of prostitution. But you most likely have already had a heart attack, so it is best I shut up now.

According to Ahmed, there are two main differences between the categories: MSMs have sex just for “fun” or “physical release”, without the emotional and identity implications of a gay relationship. The second difference between being gay and MSMs is that of class. MSMs generally have low-paid, menial jobs. Gay men come from a middle and upper class background; they tap into a wider, global gay identity and its trappings.’

    48% thought installing “literally anyone” from within the party would improve Britain’s fortunes
    (for this, read “do you think that even a brain dead monkey would do better than brown” which is the gist of the question in the overall context)

    but only 17% of respondents found an alternative to succeed the Prime Minister (for this read “who from the labour party could do better than brown”, which in the context was the gist of the question)

    ie the gist of it is:
    half of the people thought that a brain dead monkey would do a better job at running the country than brown.
    but only a fifth of the people could come up with anyone better than brown from the labour party.

    which means that there’s a large majority who think that brown’s worse than a brain dead monkey, and that the rest of the labour party are even worse.

    doesn’t bode well for labour in 2010; what’s their slogan going to be?

    JONAH BROWN STRIKES AGAIN!!!!

    Britain’s Got Talent winners Diversity brought their dance act to Downing Street when they performed for Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
    The 11-strong troupe from Essex and east London are believed to be the first group to dance in front of the famous Number 10 door after they put on a show which spoofed scenes from Parliament.

    Frizzy-haired dancer Perri Luc Kiely limped tearfully off after taking a tumble during their high-energy routine, but a spokesman for Diversity later said the 13-year-old was “absolutely fine, just a bit shocked” and Mr Brown hailed him as “a wonderful guy”.

    Dancing for the Jonah it was always going to end in tears…….

      In Brown’s new era of openness and honesty he is make other other steps towards revealing certain “truths” that has been hidden for so long, over coming days he will reveal how it was in fact Brown who wrote the songs Back in the USSR, Day Tripper, Taxman & Paperback Writer – a fact he had forgotten until he “remembered” that he had lost his exercise book containing the songs on a school trip to Liverpool.

      He is also checking dates to establish whether a school physics project can be identified as providing NASA with the critical data that finally allowed them to send man to the moon.

          We will soon be 1.4 trillion quid in debt or 1,400,000,000,000 quid.

          A pound note (the Jocks still ave ‘em is about 12cm long or 0.12 metres

          so 1.4 trillion pond notes would stretch 0.12 x 1,400,000,000,000 metres

          =168,000,000,000 metres (168bn metres)

          Or 168 million kilometres.

          Distance to the sun = 150 million kilometres.

          So if Gordon Brown has borrowed enough money to stretch all the way to the Sun. Where they would burst into flames. Which is coincidentally exactly what he did with ‘em here but without the need for space travel.

    They cost only £24.1billion in 1997/8 – the year Labour came to power after promising a ‘bonfire of the quangos’.

    Brown’s been lying about the economy for years now.
    But he’s hardly the only one as Darling, the “Regulators”, BoE, the Bankers and the City were all lying through their teeth too.

    It was a house of cards and they were all happy to keep lying and spinning and pretending the boom would never end as long as the money kept rolling in.

Seriously, we have a goverment that has destroyed the economy of the country and serially lie about everything even though they know we know they are lieing.

      I know politicians bend the truth but this whole thing seems to be completely out of control to the extent that we not only have an unelected PM but we have corrupt scum like Mandleson making government policy and being interviewed on the BBC as if he is running the country. Which he is and that’s a big part of the problem. Time for the British people to say enough is enough. How can we force an early general election?
