Quote of the Day

Gilian Duffy said

“I’d been watching the news bulletins earlier in the day and they were talking about the national debt and how none of the politicians are mentioning that and I thought I’d ask him about that. I wasn’t asking for myself. I’m thinking about my daughter and my grandchildren who are ten and 12. They’re the ones who’ll be paying and paying, aren’t they?

I said to him, “What are you going to do about the debt, Gordon? Greece is down and now Spain and Portugal have lost their credit rating. Who’s next?” I’m going on holiday to Canada and I used to get $2.50 to the £1. When I go to change my currency this time I’ll be lucky if I get $1.50.”

    Gordon’s reply would be in the manner of:
    If you can afford a holiday abroad when I have put the country into debt to the tune of £90k per family (including PFI and public sector pension obligations as per the brilliant and understated FT economist on radio 4 on Friday) then I have simply not taxed YOU people enough!

    Gordon Brown has shown over the years that he has no real grasp of economics nor a real idea of how to run a country. We have experienced enough of his ‘experience’.

    I’d just have given the cheeky mare a slapping.

    Duffy is a natural Conservative, Gordon Brown is nothing more than a crypto-communist. Stop taxing me so much Gordon.

“Most people want to read nasty things about people, not nice things.”

Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?

Just a thought.
