Wall Street is Getting Worried Tories Won’t Win
Gordon loves to quote the policy endorsements of Paul Krugman, the New York Times columnist and Nobel Prize winner – always neglecting to mention that Krugman is a friend and ally. The New York Times today however is not so keen on Britain’s economy.
The business section is mainly read by Wall Street liberals, nevertheless they run investment funds that move markets. The UK this morning is bracketed with Greece, the NYT warning that if the Tories don’t get a strong majority:
“… investors could start to make it greatly more expensive for the government to raise funds, setting the stage for a potential double-dip recession, if not worse… If you really want a fiscal problem, look at the U.K… In Europe, the average deficit is about 6% of G.D.P. and in the U.K. it’s 12%. It is only just beginning… the British government … has been able to finance a budget deficit of 12.5% of G.D.P. — equal to Greece’s — at an interest rate more than two full percentage points lower only because the Bank of England bought the majority of the bonds it issued last year.”
As the pound slid Nick Clegg tried to reassure investors that if there is a hung parliament the LibDems would not risk Britain’s creditworthiness – surely that effectively means he can’t prop up Gordon Brown. Clegg said this because he realises that once foreign investors realise the only buyer of government gilts last year was the Bank of England and they lose confidence in a Tory election victory, they could rush for the exit. Foreign holdings of gilts fell from 35% to 29% last year. Capital flight is already starting…
last one to leave please switch off the lights.
Labour MUST be punished for this, They are killing this country.
Elect the bastards again
£500 million a day – that is the amount numpty features is borrowing!! HELP
Does Mandelson pay UK taxes on his EU pension?
I don’t understand all this false negative propaganda being pumped out by the markets about a minority Conservative government.
The markets are just coming up with an excuse to rip us off. They have been ripping us off during a majority government so all this talk about a minority one is a load of rubbish.
A minority Conservative government will merely add another check and balance to our democracy and should any of the other parties oppose the minority government’s attempts to reduce the deficit it will not be countenanced by the country and if anything will lead to a large majority for the Tories in the parliament following the one we are about to have.
Frankly this talk of the markets having a lack of confidence in a minority government is a load of bollocks, if anything it is completely the other way round: people have a lack of confidence in the banks and markets.
Imagine the effect on house prices if interest rates had to be jacked up all of a sudden to fight a currency crisis. Scary.
It’s not a question of ‘if’ but ‘when’. BOE is set to phase out its special liquidity scheme next year which means that cost of borrowing will soar. Read and weep if you have a mortgage……..

This is the real effect of McMong’s insane QE and unfeasibly low interest rates. The OAP’s who might invest in Gilts if the coupon was attractive are turned off, the banks are stuffed full and foreign buyers want neither the low return nor the currency risk. Meanwhile the crazies who borrowed too much on housing are cushioned.
Still, if McDoom is elected he can let further devaluation allow inflation to rip and see the liabilities fall away.
And our standard of living, of course, but that would worry him not a jot!
You can’t fight a currency crisis with interest rates. You need to resolve, or start to resolve, the underlying economic problems. Massive interest rate rises smack of desparation, and create panic. They also fuck the real economy.
“currency crisis” ? ? ? ?
What. like losing 50% of its value in 18 months.
What, you mean houses might suddenly become more affordable?
What a disaster for the country.(not).
Some of us watching this deliberately inflated (by the regulator) credit bubble have known that interest rates and reserves have been far too low for far too long.
They called the regulated credit bubble a “boom”. haha.
House prices always go up, never down. You can’t go wrong investing in bricks & mortar.
Vote Conservative for:
- to keep the NI increase
- to keep the 50% top rate
- to keep the bankers bonus tax
- for lots, and lots of green taxes
Vote for Dave to keep your taxes high!
It must be boring sitting in a car just watching people all day long, or are you on bikes?
Bankers Bonus tax yeah definitely voting for Dave! Shame he won’t bring in capital punishment for bankers!
You’re fucking mates the Hunt hole bankers are hardly innocent either.
Oh BTW, did you know it was us who have been running the country’s finances for 13 years, not Calamity Brown? Fact.
The “light touch” Regulation is 3 foot high.
You’ve fallen for Gordons spin, SUCKER!
……and please remove the bulbs before the repo man arrives…..
And still Cameron doesn’t see the simple things that voters want, like the EU referendum, controlled immigration and kicking global warming into the long grass. How long will he let the Conservatives haemorrhage voters whilst chasing the green votes and minority religious sections of the voting public. Brown isn’t picking up votes, he has his core payroll voters from the public sector and those on benefits, Call Me Dave is just waving his goodbye.
It’s the economy stupid
That’s fucked.
Like you, I can’t believe how poor their performance currently is unless one can possibly entertain the idea that DC might be content to see a hung parliament and watch economy implode ensuring another election and massive surge in popularity. If that is not the case, then DC is truly inept. It would of course mean putting self-interest before interest of country but when has that ever been an issue for politicians?
Is it really self interest before the country?
Given the current polls, it seems a large majority of the population are so ill educated or wrapped in cotton wool, that they believe real crisis’s only occur in Hollywood movies. When the Tories try to talk about the scale of the problem, ratings drop even further.
Maybe a heavy dose of reality, will wake people up – and finally elect some politicians who have the mandate to make the tough choices
Why should David Cameron come out with their full range of policies when all we see are Labour Ministers and supporters shouting about what the Torys haven’t done or are not going to do!!
Gordon has been in charge of the British economy for 13 years and trashed it!!
For those of you still in nappies and have never voted before remember when or if you go to vote this is the Third time in recent time Labour/Socialists/Left Wing have made a BALLS of Britain’s economy. All those shouting for Gordon can afford to be Socialist – the rest of us who pay the bills can’t afford them any longer.
Voting anything other them Conservative will see Gordon Back – it’s your call.
Don’t forget the gay vote which Cameron is also grovelling for.
Are there really so many gay people in the country that it makes such a difference?
If you are gay and live in Notting Hill, vote Tory.
If you aren’t and don’t, you won’t.
Most gay people secretly vote Tory anyway, as most work and have no kids, they don’t want to pay for some deadbeat mum’s chav kids who will grow up and attack them for being gay.
Being Gay should never have become a political issue in the first place.It’s just a sexual preference, that’s all.Nothing special.
Yes Mentalist and Labour must be re-elected if the system is really to be properly purged. Only once Liebour collapses into the arms of the IMF (within weeks) and the benefits brigade feels the windstorm the Greeks are now feeling, will there be a chance of seeing a government elected that is strong enough to clean out the whole pigsty and rebuild.
It will take decades and the McMarxists must never, ever again be allowed anywhere near power.
interesting hypothesis
I would like to see that unfold on election night UO, the look on Brown and Ball’s faces when they get handed the IMF mop & bucket.
McMarxists?
The whole rotten Lib/lab/con needs doing away with.
I would agree but the UK would need to be in flames before this load of c=nts left office remember NON OF THEM LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD THEY LIVE IN THE SELF SERVING GORDOOM WORLD
I think you will find the NYT article agreed with everything I have done and intend to do. I do not understand why you would place a negative slant on such a positive report. Oh look monkeys, come play with daddy……
The Labour Cabinet can be compared to the heirarcy of Monkeys in the tree tops – they look down and all they see are smiling faces.
The Monkeys lower down in the branches look up and all they see are ars…holes.
Dave had better get his act together for the Leader’ debates. When the election became his to lose, that is what he started to do.
For far to long Britain has been a homophobic country. I have taken upon myself to change attitudes by single handedly fucking every man and woman in the country. We’re all bisexual now!

Uh-huh Bid difference. . Have you seen Dave’s bird? Phwoaaar!
Who gives a fuck what Wall Street thinks?
Without the support of the British taxpayer Wall Street would be insolvent.
And now, having underpinned the failing American economy, Wall Street is seeking to profit from our weakened position.
Fucking wankers.
Special relationship? What a load of shit.
Wall Street owes the taxpayer of this country everything for without our support they would be bankrupt.
We should introduce a Marshall plan where the Americans pay us a levy for saving their bacon.
Who gives a fuck?
Well anyone who uses anything imported, as the falling pound gives you a massive effective pay cut.
If the American economy tanks then British speculators can start buying up their stocks nice and cheap, just as they are currently doing to us.
Poetic justice, isn’t it?
Go on China, pull the fucking plug on the Americans, do us all a favour.
It does not mean that the pound here in Britain, in your pocket or purse or in your bank, has been devalued.”
Be careful when you say holdings of gilts by fell. Maybe as a proportion they did, but remember lots of new gilts were issued last year (big deficit, durrr).. actually nominal (face value) holdings of gilts by our friends abroad rose.
Sure is ! Because the next thing will be exchange controls
We will have Austerity Britain again – but not for Labour voters.
Exchange controls, Dig for Victory, Make do and Mend, Sterling devaluation.
A Future FAIL for All.
A future fucked for all
Agreed – and is why I put a load of money into an offshore euro account recently.
I moved my GBP to Euros yesterday.
Too late in some respects, but given the outlook….
I think you’re still on a winner Harry – you’ll recoup any loss handsomely.
Yeah, but I’ve still got the hump….
The Euro is a complete basket-case I’m afraid, huge structural problems. Better currencies are those with large commodity bases, maybe the Australian $. Or better yet, at least long-term, is gold itself though right now it looks expensive I see it rising more given the unbelievable new money creation.
Gold or Land
They ain’t making anymore (unlike Sterling or the Euro)
Cluck…..cluck……cluck……………
I see another one of Sarah Beard’s favourite bullies, Naomi Campbell, has been performing again.

If the cost of borrowing increases, Gordon will simply raise taxes again. Simples!
The government’s new PAYE scheme?
The simplified HMRC Tax Return?
“How much do you earn? – Send it!”
Send it all in and we’ll allocate your entitlement according to our assessment of your needs in due course.
From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.
It couldn’t be simpler and it’s fair for all. Equality of opportunity, equality of entitlement.
We pretend to work and they pretend to pay us!
Update on that courtesy of Joe Stack.
‘From each according to their gullibility, to each according to their greed.’
From each according to his stupidity, to each according to his greed.
That is the right thing to do, isn’t it you bunch of Bankers?
Not mine! Ha! Ha!
But only on the middle classes!
Middle Class = rich peasants standing in the way of the progressive forces and a future fair for all.
And being forced to pay for it rather in the same way as the families of those executed in China pay for the bullet and the funeral.
In fact, what with McMong’s death tax and all, the parallel is quite striking!
Yes! And while we’re at it, why don’t we charge money for fleeing the glorious BDR? My friend Harold Wilson did…
Surely Mr Mandelscum will have something to say about the NY Times “talking our economy down and being unpatriotic” (his latest mantra…yawn).
According to Mandy and Liam Byrne (yesterday), if you tell the truth about the british economy, you are being unpatriotic and talking it down. What idiots these people are.
I tried to post on a certain newspapers comments page this morning, but because I didn’t use the word ‘Lord’ before Mandleson, they refused to publish it, so to atone for my mistake, I am happy to put the title right.
Lord C.unt Mandleson.
They`ve been bleating it for months criticise Liebour policy and guess what YOUR UNPATRIOTIC when CMD said we would end up like the Greeks what did Mandy say you guessed it he was UNPATRIOTIC, well WHO GAVE UP THE EU REBATE £15 billion with nothing I SAY NOTHING in return YOU MANDY you piece o shite god I fukin HATE EM ALL ok be shit at what you do thats life but the HYPOCRISY makes my shit hang AAARRRGGGHHH

Come on city- you don’t want another Labour Government- press the nuclear button before the election. Lets have it now…
The good news for the Tories is that in Scotland it appears that as we speak Labour is frantically using every trick in their book to stop the mainstream media publishing what is alleged to be a scandal of monumental proportions that will severely damage their electoral prospects.
Is that the story involving the youngsters? It’s huge and involves several well known labour stooges and a couple of MPs. I even think an ex cabinet member is involved.
Yeah , curious that. Guido has link up about Stephen Purcell – one of Labour’s leading lights in Jockland has resigned quoting “stress”. Evidently this was very stressful because it involved loads of crisis meetings and a team of legal eagles. I wonder if there is any connection.
Of course it will have started over here!

If senior politicians, lawyers & law enforcement officers are implicated then expect the Tories and maybe even the SNP to be sprayed with excrement too.
Wouldn’t it be ironic if the main political party to pick up disillusioned Scottish votes was the B*N*P? (If they put up any candidates in Scotchland.)
The Scots will not vote for a party that has a name beginning “British National”.
Scottish Media = Scottish Labour Party
Have we ever been so bereft of political talent & courage on either side of the House in our history?
Cameron must share blame for the instability in the markets faith in the UK – he could & should have sealed the deal with the General Election.
Pursuing the same fiscal insanity as New Labour – high taxes, massive public sector spending – who the hell is going to invest here?
Blair said that New Labour would be a “radical” Government in 1997 – none of us realised that New Labours radical fiscal extremism would destroy this country for generations.
They should be prosecuted with extreme prejudice – not rewarded for their incompetence & treason.
Hear hear.
Agreed. But never underestimate the stupidity of the mainstream UK popualtion. Financially, they’re complete dorks.

If even Gordon’s friends are noticing the problem, and still no corrective action is being taken, this must mean the destitution of Britain was his original plan.
How high is the bar set for proof of treason?
I believe that one of the first things Labour did when they got into power was remove the treason law from the statute book.
Please check this though, I might be wrong
First thing they did was workout how to fill in expense forms and handle delicate backhanders, check this, I am probably right.
Exodus of overseas gilts investors+emigration of wealth generators= run on the pound+increased interest rates+massive defaults on mortgages= another run on the banks+ absolute fucking misery all round+ exodus of remaining wealth generators
and that’s being optimistic.
Maybe the country needs to see capital flight and international shunning of the gilt auctions.
Maybe only IMF intervention will be enough to shock Labour’s client voters into abandoning them. That and losing their benefits.
Suggest you read the new Taxpayers Alliance report (£53 billion black hole in local goverment pensions), dealing with those yummy taxpayer financed index linked pensions, that local government officials like to reward themselves ! Nulabs client state knows when its on to a good thing. Don’t expect reallity to strike anytime soon !
Yes, but the point is that more people intend to vote Labour now than at any time for the past two years. Just think about that. Fucking hell.
This is good. Let Liebour handle the forthcoming riots by the underclass that voted them in.
Why do the majority of the UK carry on blythly unaware of what is about to happen?
A few points up on interest rates and there will be carnage amongst homeowners.
The UK is a busted flush and many of it’s citizens soon will be as well.

The saddest bit is they come in through the doors, stock up on essentials such as nappies and tampons, then some veg, then get to the booze isle, realise their benefits won’t pay for everything, so they unload the nappies, tampons and veg onto the cases of beer and stock up instead on cider. Then they waddle off to the ‘baccy’ counter.
Q: Are We Not Men?
What I’ve noticed recently is that very few members of the government have been on the airwaves banging on about new initiatives, largely because government is currently paralysed. With the absence of new initiatives, the public is lulled into a false sense that the politicians are actually hard at work sorting out the country. The reality is that they have no idea how bad the situation is and if we have a hung parliament, only rioting on the streets will force the politicians to sort out the mess together. Prediction: milk bottles will become a scarce commodity as they are turned into Molotov cocktails this summer. Forget gold, buy glass.
Along with handguns & policemen, glass milk bottles are no longer seen in my neck of the woods
Don’t you mean Policeperson?
A hung parliment? Riots in the street?
People really won’t give a shit.
Should Labour win by a whisker, the subsequent months will see an accelerating trend in measures already in place to address the deficit. The sense of ‘betrayal’ among Labour’s voters will bring them out on the streets as the austerity bites.
Look at Greece. Socialist government forced to act. Socialist voters rioting on the streets.
PS Private business…retail, tourism, shipping are getting their heads down and starting to generate the wealth to pay the taxes. Socialist rabble just don’t get it. They are dangerously thick.
unconvincing on two counts.
1) “a whisker” aint a hung parliment.
2) There won’t be any rioting in the UK over a few job cuts or wage freezes. compare with longbridge closure: greece (or france) would have exploded with an event like that.
If I were Cameron, I would go for the hung parliament.
You will need a big thumping majority to sort out this mess, and I can’t see him getting one this year.
Let the Labour scum take their medication for a year.
I know it’d be fucking typical if Labour dodges the pile of shit about to pour on us. So few people understand what has to be done. I was speaking with some of my students (PhD Chemists) about the falling pound two questions they asked:
1. Why is it falling we’re coming out of recession
2. Would be have been better off if we were in the Euro?
Brilliant. I want the fucking carnage to start before Labour leave office just to make sure the public know who is to blame. On the plus side the coming cuts will probably shake out some of the dead wood in the universities. I have one collegue who won’t work with the chemical industry because it “would be a betrayal of my principles” – wake up call fuckwit – they pay our wages….
Rant over.
Refreshing to know there are still some folk in our schools and unis with common sense and a concience ST.

Stop talking down the economy!
Lord Mandelson has politely instructed the markets to postpone their judgement until after the election – its the right thing to do, otherwise he may have to deal swiftly with the specutalors and economic hyenas that are threatening our great nation
It’s the sepculators who call time, it’s the speculators who tell the truth no one wants to hear.
A message to all speculators and currency traders: If you seriously don’t want another Labour Government press the nuclear button, burn Rome, start the massacre.
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

Blimey, Mandlescum or Stalin
This does appear to have become the government’s raison d’etre. Social Justice at all costs. Repeat, at all costs.

Yeah! carnage amongst home owners, well it was a little more than carnage back in ’92 when those stupid fucking Tories put interest rates up to 15%. Young Dave helped out on that one didn’t he.
Yes, but Brown has been keeping interest rates down artificially. Judgement day will arrive some time soon.
It’s all been a massive deception from the incompetent labour party.
The more the loon Brown meddles, the harder the final crash; he knows that but doesn’t give a toss, as long as it doesn’t happen under his watch.
Labour have well and truly screwed us this time.
Agreed – and you need look no further than the number of people on tracker mortgages who all think they are doing swimmingly well. A 3 year fix at 6% would be a good option.

Sky reporting danger for Bruin in TV debates is appearring too Cerebral. Apparently he will have less time to prepare due to PM commitments so no early election.
The bullshit gathers pace. Main message for me from Bruin’s trip to Wales, not repeated enough, demonstrating Bruins towering intellect
‘Conservatives will make the wrong decisions for the wrong reasons at the wrong time’
How can anyone fail to win a debate against that logic? Bruin might provide best reality TV show ever, as his brain the size of a planet overcomes increased medication and we see him as his staff see him, delicious
I am a bit wary why he wants to do them. On the face of it he shouldn’t do well…
But he has bottled an early election, so he must feel confident. Has he a plan or is he imagining he is a world leader in touch with his feelings and getting on with the job?
He did bottle it at the weekend – I had it on good authority that an announcement was ‘imminent’. I was wrong!
I still believe the lack of Conservative election policy is that “why tell Liebour what they want to know”? Tell them (and the rest of us) after the election is called. Leaves them less time to adopt it and neutralise the policy.
They haven’t finished completing all the postal votes yet. Takes time.
Don’t panic I’m only at the debates to back up everything Gordon says. I doesn’t matter how crazy Gordon is the Jeremy Kyle generation will see it is 2 against 1 and assume Gordon is correct every time. It will be an easy win for me and Gordon. That Dave just walked into a great big bear trap. Now I’m off to the pub to pick up another bird…
‘too cerebral’? Which Sky presenter was claiming that?
Brown has never come across as anything more than a simpleton – his response to being challenged on any issue is to repeat his claims but a bit louder not explain them, or to hide behind an appeal to ‘reason’ and what is ‘right’.
His ludicrous economic claims can be undone by a child – don’t keep spending more than you are ‘earning’.
The buggering up of banking was, in league with banksters, pride coming before a fall. They all got involved in funny financial products they were unwilling to ask questions of because they thought they would look a bit thick if they did. A little bit of good debt and loads of crap debt cannot magically become a lump of good debt. You cannot run a bank for long wholly relying on interbank lending and house price increases. But by God they tried. And sure as shit they failed. The media and the opposition let them get away with a financial massacre to avoid any shit landing on them.(And given the poor opposition let them get away with the racking up of debt and destabilising the economy, and the media spent a decade talking up house prices, perhaps that’s not surprising.)

Capital flight Guido? You are a freemarketeer but just recently you have started to sound like a bleeding hear liberal/communist.
What about when a couple of Billion dollars in aid is sent from America to an African country and the corrupt leaders immediately wire the money back into an American bank and nobody bats an eyelid. You don’t seem as concerned when that happens.
You are very selective in your worries about capital flight.
Your post proves only one thing: America is not our friend, America is our enemy.
People that are rich have gotten so by holding on to their wonga.

And now Conservative bullying, they are a shower of shit
HUDDERSFIELD MP Barry Sheerman claimed that he was warned about pursuing issues relating to Lord Ashcroft’s tax status in the Commons.
Mr Sheerman alleged in the House of Commons that he was told by a Tory backbencher to “keep quiet” because Lord Ashcroft had a “way of exacting retribution” on his critics.
Mr Sheerman, chairman of the Children, Schools and Families Select Committee, was calling for a Commons debate after Lord Ashcroft admitted to being a “non-dom”.
‘Allegedly told’ = bullying. WTF ????
Sheerman is a waster, only pops his head up and over out of self-interest!

And it’s Hattie V Billy Hague at todays PMQ’s and Hattie will raise the issue of Lord Ashcroft.
Billy will have much explaining to do today !!!!
Much more fun will be Hattie explaining how Jack Dromey won PPC for Erdington.
Not that family connection should influence the equality agenda.
Maybe he’ll change his name to Jacqui to balance out the list of a female candidate.
Vote Jacqui Drone – because big houses in London are expensive to maintain.
Maybe Dromey is contemplating a sex change… marriage to old HH could do that to a man…
Dont make me laugh. All Willie has to do is point out that the Conservatives are now registered as a political party in Northern Ireland and as such they can take money from anywhere in the world. Do try and catch up with the legal reality and pay a little attention to Labour bullshit!!
Martin- there is none so blind as those who cannot see- you are a fuckwit of the first order
Martin, we all hate you because you’re an apologist and supporter of a bunch of useless incompetents who couldn’t supervise a fuck up in a brothel. A five year old with a box of matches would have shown more responsibility than Calamity Brown has demonstrated with our economy. Now go and come fourth somewhere else.
A Future fair for all Mcf*ckwits.
LORD ASHCROFT A GIVER TO THE NATION
LORD MANDLESON A TAKER FROM THE NATION
He also likes to “take” from Brazillians and Italians duckie
OooooJ and big butch brooding one eyed scottish cretins
My thoughts exactly
I wish I could have given / achieved what Lord A has over the many years
I could not behave as Mandelson has – a money-grabbing whore od a man!
Airtight Mandy theres a horrible thought.
A Nobel prize winner backs McMentals economic ability ?
Obama gets a Nobel peace prize whilst killing children?
You very obviously have to be a total fucking c unt to get a Nobel prize
Then why haven’t you been given one?
It’s a fucking mystery isn’t it?
Go on, have a s a u s a g e to make yourself feel better.
I won the peace prize too – Sieg Heil.
Well you did support Socialism.
Hello
I am an enemy of the lying Lord Ashcroft and he knows where to find me and I give as good as I get
It emerged Ashcroft’s enemies received warnings not to cross him or face “retribution”.
Martin. Can you please stop playing with your father’s computer and come and eat your lunch.
……….. or better still – just fuck off – please ….. !
SPEAK THE TRUTH SAID DR KELLY
RETRIBUTION IN THE WOODS WITH LABOUR
I would never seek retribution against my critics. Now I’m just off to get my WMD checked at Dr Kelly’s.
You are an anonymous internet troll, and Michael Ashcroft neither knows or cares who you are. Sorry, but its true. Now go and eat your lunch like your mother says.
You’re ill Martin, you should see a doctor.
Please start your posts with ‘Once upon a time’ – just so that speed readers know it’s made up bollocks and can skip to serious postings
When democracy in the UK is finally under the Jackboot, perhaps you would be grateful for a system like what they have in Northern Ireland which allows anyone anywhere in the world to finance a uk political party. In the not to distant future it will be our only hope of escaping EU tyranny!!
You are a nonentity with delusions of grandeur.
No, he is just a Labour troll and you are an idiot for responding to his posts.
how can any ‘investor’ be unaware of the gilt market farce?
the uk is donald ducked……….
nobody in their right mind would invest here…….
there has been no recovery..growth figures,like all others,are fiddled……..
or massaged by short term measures like the car scrappage scheme which gave rich people more money!
how very labour!!!!!
paying interest on interest is the fast way to the poor house……
gordon goes around the world giving 3rd world countries our money (not his) but doesn’t understand why so many of them are fucked!
ps.krugman is shit!
Very Animal Farm, The pigs always rule the roost and will do anything to maintain it. Wait till the gloves really come off.
And Labour’s Martin Day said the Guido Fawkes must take the blame for the loss of confidence. The former City high-flyer blasted: “Undermining confidence in the British economy is reckless and irresponsible..
“It’s desperate politics, reckless economics and about as unpatriotic as it gets.”
Martin Day added: “Guido Fawkes crossed a line and showed he waswilling to hurt Britain in order to help himself.”
But surely its all Thatchers fault, and the tories in the 80′s etc? Cant be guidos fault, or Labours, ALL fault can be traced back to Thatcher.
At least once in any given political thread someone must blame thatcher and 18 years of Tory rule. Its the law.
New Liebour BLAME ANYONE but US!
This Day character’s a laugh, isn’t he?
And all this because of a shitty polling company? What the f is Murdoch thinking? Why did he choose YouGov? From PB:
OT. Re the YouGov polls and Peter Kellner’s “visit”, it was useful to get his comments as follows yesterday:
“Our ID weights are:
26% Loyal labour (Lab ID, voted lab in 2005)
6% disloyal Lab (Lab ID, did not vote Lab in 2005)
…..
We recently split loyal and disloyal lab, without changing the overall number, in order to ensure stable samples: loyal and disloyal Lab seem to behave differently, and we want to ensure the correct % of each in each poll”
By confirming that Loyal Labour equals those with Labour ID who voted Labour in 2005, it allows us to compare their treatment of 2005 Labour voters with those of other pollsters who always show their sample split by 2005 vote.

RE: Talking down Britain
“It is unpleasing to represent our affairs to our own disadvantage; yet it is necessary to shew the evils which we desire to be removed.”
Dr Johnson
How right he was.
Gordon, when is the fuckin’ budget? I need to get my tax affairs sorted.
Tony, what the fuck do you care. I sorted it so you don’t have to pay tax.
Has anyone actually read the NYT article? It says “Without a strong political majority to tackle Britain’s lumbering fiscal problems, investors could start to…”
Here is has been taken out of context to mean “Without a strong Tory majority, investors could start to…”
The article does not support that so the basis for this entire post is dishonest.
AND WHERE DID “Britain’s lumbering fiscal problems” COME FROM?
OH YES….. THE CLUNKING FISTED BLUBBERING BULLY BOY
No no Mrs T. is the real n*gg*ah in the woodpile as we all know.
It’s not legal.
Maastricht 101, central banks may not buy government bonds, lend them money, give them overdrafts. This applies to UK too, what the Bank of England is doing there isn’t legal, exactly because it destroys the currency and just gives them a temporary boost (which is great if your facing an election but is no fix for a recession).
“Overdraft facilities or any other type of credit facility with the ECB or with the central banks of the Member States (hereinafter referred to as ‘national central banks’) in favour of Community institutions or bodies, central governments, regional, local or other public authorities, other bodies governed by public law, or public undertakings of Member States shall be prohibited, as shall the purchase directly from them by the ECB or national central banks of debt instruments.”
EU law, like English law, only applies to little people.
How can tthe EU enforce the small print when it is so corrupt that it cannot even produce audited accounts?
Everyone knew that the figures were fiddled for Greece to enter the Euro; they looked the other way.
OT.
The first British woman soldier to be killed in Afghanistan died at a time when the army’s ability to protect itself from roadside bombs was hampered by shortages of vital equipment and a lack of training, an inquest was told yesterday.
When is this lying cnut Brown going to be held accountable. He made the cuts, he wouldn’t sign the cheques, he is responsible for their deaths.
Good post. as we sit at home pontificating about this and that there is a now daily toll of death coming out of Afghanistan and our media dont seem to want to hold the Government to account for it!
Why the fuck does Dave not just say enough is a fuckin’ ‘nough? I’ll tell you one thing if by some fuckin’ miracle Dave pulls off an election victory, within 9 months the Labour Party will be against the war and will have thousands out in the streets demonstrating against it. Just wait and see.
Britain has to make a choice, money for benefit scroungers, and disability fraudsters or armoured vehicles.
It was the right thing to do.
Has this country ever been attacked by a single Afghan?
Er No.
So what the fuck are we doing in Afghanistan?
Unfortunately I think I know which way that choice will go regardless of who gets in. Our masters loathe their own!!
We lost 14,000 troops before we decided to get the fuck out of there.
You Brits have as much chance of finding victory in Afghanistan as you had of finding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
We had fucking loads of helicopters supporting our troops and ten times as many soldiers when we fought the Afghans and we still couldn’t beat them.
Dannett should be out telling it how it is, equipment/manpower shortages, daily battles with Labour and its unwillingness to commit the right amount of manpower to fight and hold ground. – The Somali warlords would have been better equipped than our guys at the beginning
Only public shaming made these cretins react.
It is almost as if your Labour governement underfunded your troops on purpose so you would lose soldiers and then the Labour party could turn around and say “We will not let those soldiers die in vain, we cannot leave because we have lost so many troops.”
You have been doomed to defeat on purpose and all just to fight America’s dirty wars so America can build its oil pipe-lines.
It has nothing to do with liberating Afghans but it is all about enslaving them to American oil companies.
One of which the Afghan American stooge, President Karzai used to work for.
Why are you Brits so stupid?
The problems with Snatch Land Rovers are only superficially anything to do with Brown. Parliament as a whole has not given the MoD a new direction since the fall of communism.
Procurement has rumbled on in an unsatisfactory way – insisting on cutting edge kit to defeat Russia that is always years late, more expensive, not as good as promised and in fewer numbers than anticipated. We have hundreds of choppers but only a few of them are fit for frontline duties in places like Afghanistan. The Nimrod debacle. Not replacing Pumas. Talking about an EU Rapid Reaction Force which put procurement of armoured vehicles on hold.(All it had to be was like NATO – common standards of kit and common procedures that can integrate if needed, but no, the EU wanted an army of it’s own so we all had to look at new vehicles) A400M – why? An exercise in teaching Airbus how to build military transport planes yet Europe already had that experience thanks to the Shorts Belfast.
These are systemic problems as no one cares to take responsibility for them. Parliament hasn’t. Government won’t. The MoD buries it’s head in the sand. The Defence industry is a powerful force in the corridors of Parliament too. Talking about stuff has replaced doing stuff and the Army in particular has paid the price. Good quality kit needn’t be complicated or expensive but procurement seems to have been incentivising ever more complicated and ever more expensive equipment. We’ve seen failures in Afghanistan of some very expensive communications equipment that was replaced, at a fraction of the price, with some Israeli gear. We’ve farted about for years with crap UAVs and only recently got hold of some half decent ones. Made in Israel they are… The reason for the delay in getting anything competent is that European firms were hopeless at it but got the money anyway. Even now there is another generation of UAVs just around the corner so not much has been invested in buying something that works just fine right now.
So much time and money is being spent on ‘future’ stuff that the kit that works and is needed now isn’t being bought.
I suspect Brown understood how crap MoD purchasing is but rather than encourage Parliament and the Government to sort things out he decided to starve it of cash. Made a very bad situation a bit worse but by no means the cause of the trouble.
That said, when some of the really long winded stuff was decided (Nimrod for example) it was under the Conservatives. Parliament as a whole must share some of the blame for stuff like that so a poor Labour opposition with little interest in making the MoD work properly helped allow Defence industry interests run riot.
Your over diagnosing the problem, if you need to look anywhere look at Abbey Wood, it is staffed with dross, if you are good at procurement management you move to the private sector and manage Defence contracts, the remaining entities in Abbey wood great taken for a ride, and the good old Taxpayer picks up the bill.
T.A. You are right. It is too easy and a cop out to say that it is the responsibility of successive governments that our armed forces were operating in a theatre of war without the right equipment. This is not about boots or kit it’s about knowing what the prime threat was and asking them to perform with inadequate equipment. If the right equipment was not available or able to be procured they should not have been there.
This government would not send a road sweeper out to do his job without a reflective jacket so why were Snatch Landrovers being used when the main threat was IED’s
Compare the deaths caused by these devices between US and British troops.
If it was a private corporation, Brown and his f’ing cohorts would be shouting from the rooftops about ‘corporate manslaughter’.
I see Naomi Campbell’s been hitting people again.
Pity it wasnt Sarah Brown- what a self obsessed twat
Can’t wait until she disappears into the void like all the other Labour non entities
She’s no shrinking violet.
With any luck it was that sack of shite, Piers Morgan.
Gordon and Naomi have a lot in common. Is that why Sarah is attracted to them?
My post code poverty town Gosport, that of duck house fame has 30 Library staff employed by Hampshire County Council.
The cull of the public sector paper shufflers is gonna get really bloody.
Hopefully Ms Toynbee and all the other progressive Liberals who’ve made so much money detailing the struggles of the poor will be able to explain why it is moral for Britain to be spending more on debt interest than it does on Edyukashuns.
Why don’t local authorities go for wage cuts instead of redundancies?
I will answer my own question.
Because the Chief Executive on £180,000 p.a. is going to be first in line.
Chief Execs will sack the small fry to protect their own pay and perks.
Thats just the ones you know about, I saw a recent report in the mail that many local authories are refusing to disclose what pay their senior executives are on. The main thrust of their argument was that the public have no right to know, Furthermore if the public did know how much these people earn it would put their lives and the lives of their families at risk. as that chap in the Daily mail says you couldn’t make it up!!
Pay cuts in the NHS will be avoided for the same reason.
Sack the nurses, close the wards, cancel the operations, but keep paying the Chief Executives £150,000, or whatever, with an final salary pension and a years pay if they fail completely in their jobs.
Wage cuts? Get real. Local authorities (and the rest of the public services) don’t know the meaning of the words. They’ve never taken a pay cut in their lives.
are there are modding rules on here?
krugman is a jumped up twat-just like the other nobel prize winners at Ltcm!
paying interest on interest is the fast way to the poor house……
gordon goes around the world giving 3rd world countries our money (not his) but doesn’t understand why so many of them are fucked!
A century of Labour rule in Scotland…..highest heart attack rates in Europe, amongst the highest rates of single mums, highest rates of alcoholism and drug use, highest per capita prison population, sky high rates of those on benefits……I rest my case.

Why are we so weak? Why have we allowed this to go on?
Imagine if a French Government had purseued such an extremist agenda against the French people & Nation for 12 years.
The guillotines would be out. Why are we so weak? Where are all the British men of steel?
BEING KILLED IN AFGANISTAN
Indeed. Bless ‘em. More victims of another Labour policy – oh yes – the “Ethical Foreign Policy”.
2 million dead in Labours wars of vanity since 1997.
EH? you think the French would be pissed off by a “big state”, socialism, and a government spending beyond their means?
If they would be, there must be an elephant in every living room in that country. A white one, paid for by the state’s money.
This is our reward for allowing an unelected idiot to run our country.
I fucking closed them down, you daft Hunt.

Nice to see that the “yanks” agree with my analysis.
A vote for Labour …is a vote for economic meltdown
Gordon Brown only cried during that interview the other week because Piers Morgan’s breath must have smelled of onions. He hasn’t lost a daughter, but someone else did. There’s no way Gordon Brown has ever stuck his cock in his wife. Sarah must have been having it away with the copper on Number Ten’s door, during his fag break – or with some of the catering staff. Yeah, she looks like she’s always in the kitchen, the dirty slag.
I used a turkey baster – my kids’ birth sign is Pyrex.
Gordon, you fucking rotter. You killed that little girl by throwing her against the wall in a huff, just because she wasn’t a little boy.

As long as im not looking after their pension fund.
All we need now is a push in the marginals and we’ve cracked it !!
Gordon will sort it for us – he’s the best for the economy – and has control of BoE – Alistair Darling will do as he’s told – he’s too weak – Gordon’s strong
Watch out for Harman bullying Hague later
That’s just the problem. Gordon has been “sorting it for us” for the last 13 years or so…..which is why our economy is in this terrible state.
Idiot.
The Daily Mash has the scoop on another Labour ploy to gain our votes: releasing the Ripper.

If Gordon Brown keeps ducking out of PMQs then what is the point of him being PM?
I think Brown takes PMQ’s literally, i.e. it’s the PM who asks the questions
If you watch any Government representive, they have a knack of not structuring an argument but talking louder and Louder repeating the whatever the daily Labour mantra is, they are brainwashed and fear of losing there perks is driving them to the edge of madness. (Bottler excepted he’s cream crackers anyway).
It’s the sort of behaviour I used to see all the time and it comes from living in a bubble with process-obsessed consultants.
It doesn’t matter which firm they come from, they all adopt the same tactic :
Assertion is fact.
It’s self-reinforcing too – Consultant ‘A’ states that “We expect demographic drone type 13c to perform this way in a particular role” and lo and behold, people classed as Drone type 13c behave that way, or they’re made an example of. Behaviour that matches the expectation completely is rewarded.
It’s coercive, it’s dehumanising (flexible work patterns, ‘hot desking…’, role-based grades – all designed to suppress individuality), it requires no thought, it’s incredibly harmful but…..
….it makes people very, very predictable and controllable.
What is the point of Gordon Brown? Why not have Mandy at the dispatch box and cut out the middle man

This unofficial Twitter is now shutting down, at the reasonable & very polite request of Martin Day. Please follow @conservatives for updates.
Naturally people will want to knock The Markets as somehow being the cause of all our problems. It was The Markets that allowed us to spend a great deal more money than we earned. If somebody lends you a lot of money and you blow it all, whose fault is that? Do you blame the lender when he/she becomes cautious about lending you even more, when you have no proposals for paying back what you already owe?
The root of most of our economic problems is Government’s refusal to run its own finances in an averagely grown-up way. This influenced them not to regulate banks and to turn the money supply dial up to 11 during the boom years and it puts us in hock to the world now.
The Labour party are my friends .Nothing happened at all.Whats a D notice mum?

War has bankrupted America and now they will rip off anyone to get themselves out of the shit.
If China wanted they could finish off the American economy by end of trading today by dumping the dollar.
Economically speaking America is fucked. The only way out of the shit is by withdrawing their troops from occupying other peoples’s countries.
But they won’t do that because they are too lazy to earn their own money and have become used to stealing other countries’ wealth, so basically they are totally fucked.
The Saudis’ own a lot of American stock too.
Of course, they would be much easier to invade than China.
Can sum1 please explain how the BOE can buy up British Gilts. Do they just print the money to buy them?
I am just a huge 1.01 backer so this is way over my head.
Nigel Farage is fined: other Euro-sceptics beware
When MEPs hooted and jabbered like stricken animals at the President of the Czech Republic, who happened to oppose the Lisbon Treaty, no action was taken (see here). When the then Liberal leader, Graham Watson, said that pro-referendum campaigners reminded him of Russian Communists and German Nazis, he was roundly applauded. When Martin Schulz, the Socialist leader, said that Euro-sceptic MEPs made him think of him of Adolf Hitler, the Euro-MPs behind him nodded sagely
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/danielhannan/100028181/nigel-farage-is-fined-other-euro-sceptics-beware/
So the EU fines free speech.
No surprise there as the EU is an anti-democratic, anti-free speech organisation.
Its accounts have not been signed off for over a decade because of fraud and corruption.
We really should get out of the EU as it is a corrupt organisation which stands against all the basic principles of British democracy.
Farage is an EU denier.
That is how the EU sees it. They will boil him in oil until he reacants.
That is the right thing to do.
That excellent speech by Farage is another reason I will be voting UKIP.
All you UKIP supporters can go to the polling stations in the same taxi then?
And how do you fit 2.5 million voters in a taxi?
You moron.
Are they from the Indian continent, then?

Jeremy Paxman: Just one final point, in the current climate of suspicion about politics your deputy chairman Lord Ashcroft, a man whose peerage you lobbied for, saying that he would become resident in Britain for tax purposes, can you just tell us, is he resident in Britain for tax purposes now?
William Hague: I’ve no reason to think that he’s not complied with the commitments that he gave.
Paxman: That is not the same as an assurance that he is.
Hague: Well, it’s the truth as I know it.
Paxman: Have you asked him?
Hague: I’ve no reason to think that he hasn’t complied with the commitments that he gave and whenever I’ve discussed it with him that is the conclusion that I’ve come to.
Paxman: Have you asked him directly?
Hague: I have discussed it with him and I have no reason to think he hasn’t complied. Paxman: Have you asked him? Did you say to him: “Are you resident in Britain for tax purposes?”
Hague: I said to him at the time that of course …
Paxman: Now?
Hague: … I expect him to fulfil his commitments. I have no reason to think that he hasn’t.
Paxman: Have you asked him whether he’s complied with the requirement that you said he would comply with?
Hague: I’ve always said to him that I expected him to comply with any requirements and I would be very surprised if he hadn’t done so and he hadn’t told me about it.
Paxman: You seem surprisingly uncurious about such an important matter.
Hague: I’m not remotely uncurious about it …
Paxman: Well then, why don’t you ask him?
Hague: There is no evidence that Lord Ashcroft has done anything wrong …
Paxman: I’m asking for evidence from you that you have at least been intellectually curious enough in this current climate to discover whether or not your deputy chairman is resident or not in this country for tax purposes.
Hague: As you know I am a rather intellectually curious person and I’ve no reason to think that hasn’t complied with the requirement that he entered into …
Paxman: You’ve never asked him?
Hague: I’ve discussed the matter with him and I’ve made clear the expectations …
Paxman: You got him the peerage on the basis that he would become resident in this country for tax purposes and you’ve never asked him?
Hague: I’ve just given you the answer about that. I certainly have no reason to think he hasn’t complied with that.
Paxman: Why don’t you ask him?
Hague: I think my answer has been pretty clear about that.
Paxman: No. Why don’t you ask him?
Hague: Because I’ve always made clear the expectations on this …
Paxman: Why don’t you just ask him?
Hague: … to think that he has …
Paxman: It’s a simple question: “Michael, are you resident here for tax purposes”?
Hague: … but I will of course keep giving the same answer and that is my answer.
Paxman: Hmm. William Hague, thanks very much.
Come on Martin,will you join me in condemning them all – Ashcroft,Paul,Cohen,Mittal. They should not be allowed should they? What do you say?
Dont mention cheap child labour.All will be revealled next week
Yeah, strange that Labour supporting Paxo only asks multiple questions of the Tories, al a Michael Howard.
William Hague is toast
Gordon is brown bread.
Yep, he’s completely brown bread.
So you are such a dim, insecure and boring person that you cannot think up your own name and so have to steal other people’s.
Thought so.
Thanks for proving my point.
Oh, and I see your boyfriend at 11.56am is here to hold your hand.

Ooh Martin, you are awful….
How many of you are hunched over

with your keen little eyes gleaming in the

You are obviously looking in the mirror gonk.
And probably videoing the proceedings.
Can’t help but wonder about the upper class twit.
I mean, who in their right mind wants to clear up the mess caused by NuLabour ?
If the Conservatives win the election, they will need to make some very unpopular decisions and we can be sure the electorate won’t thank them for it.
NuLabour will, of course, blame it all on the Tories.
Far better to fluff this election, let NuLabour face the music. NuLabour will probably implode within 2-3 years under the pressure of massive cuts forced on their supporters in the public sector, the subsequent strikes, the humiliation of begging the IMF for help again and the long overdue house-price crash.
I LIKE IT.
VOTE FOR MORE DESTRUCTION & TORTURE OF GREAT BRITAIN BECAUSE THE CONSERVATIVES MAY BE SLAGGED OFF FOR PUTTING IT RIGHT.
WHAT SCHOOL DID YOU GO TO?
THE BROWN SCHOOL OF WIMPS & PANSIES?
Simple put the Labour spin machine (Civil Service) on the case and tell the people daily of the crap that Mandy and his cohorts have left the country in, classic socialist methodology.
As you ask, “The school of seen it before”.
My point is, the electorate have yet to feel the real pain of socialism. So far, it has all been done on borrowed money, the next parliament will have to deal with the end of cheap credit and the turmoil that ensues. Those who chose to vote Labour, as opposed to the underclass who do so habitually, need to feel the searing pain of Labour pissing your money and your future away. They need to feel it so bad they never, ever even flirt with Labour again. And we ain’t there yet.
If Cameron wins he will have a single term, harsh and very unpopular measures will be forced on him because of Labour’s incompetence. Labour will blame the Tories for messing up the “recovery”, the electorate will believe the easy option and go Labour again. Conservatives end up being so unpopular they don’t get elected for yonks.
Seen it before. Remember Margaret Thatcher ? She saved the country. But is she remembered for that ? Not universally, even within the Conservatives.
Sure, Mrs. T. wasn’t perfect, and it didn’t all go swimmingly, as Labour never tire of telling us, but in the Big picture she was right more often than wrong.
ps Cameron is no Thatcher either.
Anyone see Newsnight last night? Paxman absolutely spanked Mark Thompson, Director-General of the BBC:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00r9xy9/Newsnight_02_03_2010/
Mark Thompson must have gone back to office spitting feathers.
Now Martin, how many people do you think actually read that ?
Do something productive, walk up to the shops, buy a local paper and look for a job. It’s a nice day and the fresh air will do you good.
Well worth a listen

Where has my Paxman post gone?
Stuffed.
In in his underpants.
What’s going down in Scotland then?
Purcells head.X Andy
“What’s going down in Scotland then?”
Who’s going down on who more like.
Yep, a capitalist would’ve left you in a bankrupt bank with no bonus, salary or pension.
But thanks to the MIRACLE of Zanu-Socialism you have a massive amount of all three.
http:petitions.number10.gov.uk/EU-Referenda/ have your say
You are a fucking partisan liar, and a quote miner at that.
The article said that the market:
“fretted that Parliament would be too fragmented after a crucial election in May to whip Britain’s messy finances back into shape.”
and:
“Without a strong political majority to tackle Britain’s lumbering fiscal problems, investors could start to make it greatly more expensive for the government to raise funds, setting the stage for a potential double-dip recession, if not worse. ”
It says nothing about the Tories at all.
Are you sucking Cameron’s Ashcroft-shaped cock?
“It says nothing about the Tories at all”
Doesn’t fucking need to, does it?
UK Economy = A Greek Tragedy
Remember that the country that owns the second largest proportion of the US debt is the UK (China is the biggest creditor). There is a sizeable chunk of money in the US that we can use.
Of course, would Obama want to pay off the debt to Cameron who supported McCain in the presidential election, or Brown, who supported Obama?
It was always a bad call of Cameron to back “chips” McCain, but Dave is not very good at making the right decision.
Gosh! A politician who puts their countries debt ahead of their own bank account.
Greek singer Nana Mouskouri says debt-laden Greece can have her European Parliament pension to help ease the pressure on the public finances.

The next administration must revoke the laws labour has passed so we can prosecute the current labour traitors for treaon.
Forcing the private sector into owing foreign countries over a trillion quid just so you could use that money to buy-off your core vote, whilst simultaneously also using tax payers’ money to build up your own personal property portfolio, whilst lying to the people throughout about everything you do, hiding all the real figures/facts from everyone, bankrupting the economy to hide the true economic status from people who don’t understand economics, and getting the state tax-payer-funded broadcaster to be complicit throughout, now that deserves a special kind of response I reckon.
I say that if/when labour get ousted we should treat labour politicians and supporters in the same way that the russians treated the nazis and nazi sympathisers when they rolled into berlin.
It’s more than treason, they shouldn’t be prosecuted, they should simply be shot on the spot if they’ve held a labour membership card in the last 2 or 3 years when all this stuff finally became apparent to everyone.
No, see, what it is is is like if CMD wins but in doing so upsets all the left-wing pressure groups, unions, public sector employees, bbc, quangoes etc… well, they will make the country ungovernable. Strikes, chaos, riots etc so best thing he thinks is .. just win the election and do the necessary ‘stuff’ like cuts, remodelling education, nhs etc in as charming and apologetic fashion as possible and hope the social glue, fabric of society blah blah blah dont get torn to pieces by the usual suspects
(innit?)

SOUTHERN PACIFIC MORTGAGE LIMITED HIDES MONEY FROM LEHMANS CREDITORS IN CHARITABLE TRUSTS

[...] On that issue… Guido Fawkes has an interesting observation this morning about Britain’s debt (less safe than Chile even after the Earthquake) and it would appear that our American friends (taking a break from sitting on the fence on the Falkland’s issue) now bracket our economy with that of Greece and are saying that we are the next basket case. [...]
Can’t see why the markets are scared of the current crowd getting back in?
I work in a small museum in Buckinghamshire. Last week we were apparently contacted by an official at DCMS because they had a problem with a budget underspend and quickly needed to “get rid” of a quarter of a million pounds which we could have only if we could guarantee to have it spent and invoiced by the end of March.
Plans were hastily put together but its not exactly going to be best value procurement. We have record levels of Government Debt and deparments are still pissing money away with silly political battleship budget games. Absolutely scandalous!
