            The Public sector net borrowing PSNB (annual government borrowing) for 2010/11 was £143.2 billion or 11.7% of GDP.

            The equivalent OBR forecast for 2011/12 is £122 billion.

            Who increased public sector jobs by over 1 million. Who lost 1.3 million manufacturing jobs?

            Who lost over 5 million private sector jobs form 1979? UK didn’t have a labour government since 1979, labour was hijacked by son of Mrs T for a long time.

            1997-2010 was a labour government.

            Higher taxes, higher spending , the size of the state increseing, dumbing down of education, restriction of freedoms and rights.

            Yep socialist alright.

          • Anonymous says:

            1997-2010 was a labour government, not really when you look at policies.

            For the 1st 2 years they followed Ken Clark’s plan. Then they continued to cut taxes for the rich while increasing taxes for everyone else. They also opened the gates and sent jobs to other countries so that salaries can be brought down. They even freed the banks from remaining regulations.

            These were all done to increase the wealth of super rich. The rich poor divide became greater under Blair and Brown.

          • genghiz the kahn says:

            Funny how 18 months of Coaltion government is suddenly more at fault than 13 years of economic mismanagement by Gordon Brown, Ed Balls, Ed Miliband and Tony Blair.

            Even the dimmest A level student understands time lags in macroeconomics.

          • It is a truth universally acknowledged says:

            That’s rather like saying that the Captain of the Carpathia was responsible for the Titanic hitting the iceberg…the fault for Britain’s present financial woes has to be clearly laid at the door of Brown and his advisers….Milband(E) and Balls..NOT the Coalition…the resultant cuts and reduction in standards of living ar Labour’s Legacy for a generation and that alone should keep them from ever assuming government again

            This government was elected and New Labour was thrown out to turn the ship but in 18 months it haven’t, it has increased speed and going straight towards the ice burg.

            When CEO’s are changed (fired) and replaced they are given months or even weeks to make the companies grow, this government had 18 months but failed.

          According to Osborne taxing the rich demotivate them to work but taxing the rest motivate them to work. This is why middle class pay over 50% of their income as tax and the super rich pay less than 5%.

            “When CEO’s are changed (fired) and replaced they are given months or even weeks to make the companies grow, this government had 18 months but failed”
            You have obviously never turned around a company. Dependent on the state of said company the shortest time is 6 months and generally the highest for a complex and bad culture is 3 years. Generally it takes two years for sustainable improvement to be evident.
            Like most loony lefties the private sector and its workings is equivelent to “Darkest Africa” in the 1800′s.

          • Engineer says:

            Anonymous – Osborne has many problems on his plate at the moment, one of which is that, despite his natural inclinations, he can’t really reduce taxes much. He needs the revenue to prevent the deficit getting even worse.

            Promoting economic growth by cutting taxes is a proven strategy, but there must be scope for growth if it is to work. Currently, there isn’t much – America seems to be sliding towards recession, China has it’s problems, the Eurozone is tearing itself apart.

            If you things are bad now, wait till the Euro crisis plays out. Britain is not in the Euro, but we will be affected, possibly quite badly, by whatever happens to it. Osborne is well aware of that, but has very little he can do to avoid the devastation when it happens because he was left with an almighty mess. About all he can do is damage limitation. I suspect that the deficit reduction programme is not faster because he doesn’t want to inflict too much pain before the inevitable crash, when he will have no option but to take serious steps. I’m not sure why he’s gone along with QE – it just fuels inflation. Bad move, because inflating away the debt hurts the prudent, not the guilty.

            This whole mess is caused by too much debt; until the Eurozone grasps the need to eliminate deficits and start to reduce debts, the UK is snookered. Currently, the Eurozone is playing pass-the-parcel with debts instead of dealing with them, making the eventual crash worse.

            It’s going to be nasty when it happens, whether we like it or not.

      I am more interested in if they think St Pauls was built by a socialist government !

      Huhne hit the TV , gentle basting on BBC , got to sky Eamon went on consumer perspective , oh dear didnt quite go so well , good job Eamon didnt get round to CCP never mind the VAT.

      He is right in that those homes not insulated to modern standards can make significant savings with insulation , particulary pensioners . but then ensuring any new homes built can be of good thermal efficency is perhaps cheaper in the long run all round .

      Given current prices and upward indicator of energy prices , should pay you back in 3yrs if your house is circa 20yrs old and not been upgraded, although you do need to check what you have . Simple replacing of door and window seals to reduce drafts is pretty important .Some houses you cannot do much more with , hence I think gov should be considering renewal , but that is debateable in terms of return as its more capital intensive , just for a few hundred year reduction , but no doubt it frees up some money in pocket .

      Ed may well meet the predators , surprised though he hasnt been to bankster protest yet to make his new generation “it was nae labour “speech .

      Col Nut says:

      Illegal teenage immigrants from Ethiopia have been coming into Heathrow for more than 15 years. Having got out of the airport they get into central London and then having been left alone and without documentation, claim to be children and go into Local Authority care via the police. They are well coached in not revealing any backgound information and thus become permanent residents. Ethiopian helping adults mysteriously appear once they are in care. There was a spate of this in the mid nineties and as a successful immigration scam it may still be going on, aided by the police who want “children” out of the station as soon as possible, and Local Authority social services to whom any investigation would be deemed “racist.”Other scams include West Africans bringing in children and leaving them with paid “carers” who cease to “care” when the money runs out, thus providing another route to eventual Local Authority care and permanent residence.
      In view of the money involved in getting them in most of these children must be from better off families and therefore economic migrants rather than seriously at risk refugees. We now have a population of 62 million and our quality of life will be seriously affected with further rapid growth fuelled by mass immigration and putting more pressure on creaking public services and benefit provision.

    The Adam Smith Institute appear to think that the government are “Printing money like a drunken sailor”

    This is incorrect and very patronising. First of all the sailor has earned his money from hard work, secondly when the sailor has spent all his money on ale and women he goes back to sea and earns some more. The sailor understands the relationship between work and money, it is only the authoritarian who seeks to criticise how a hard working man spends his money”

    Lord Fondlebum of Boy says:

    What is Harry Potter doing in a “political”, er, “cartoon”?

    Oh, I forgot. It’s a Rich and Mark cartoon. so it’s probably not Harry Potter, after all. It’s probably someone else. It could be pretty much anybody.

    Now what one usually does is read the caption or the words plastered all over the cartoon for a clue as to who it is supposed to be. Michael Barrymore perhaps? Simon Cowell? Enrique Iglesias?

    Ah, what’s this? At the bottom it mentions “Ed”.

    So it’s a drawing of someone called “Ed”. Who’s about to get figuratively eaten, it appears.

    OK, so we know the first name of who it is. Unfortunately, and this is the teeny tiny little detail that lets down so many R & M efforts – it’s not funny. On any level. In fact it’s the usual utterly c untish witless crud.

    Staines, you are responsible for this bo11ocks. You don’t have to tolerate this sh1t but you actually push it and give it site space. Is this an online version of the Ugly Mate strategy? Where, if you’re on the pull, you go out with someone fatter, stupider, uglier and poorer than yo are so you’ll look better?

    It’s not working for R & M who still look like top class c unts and thus it’s not working for you, Staines, because it’s making you look like another.

    I repeat my long standing offer. Pay me half what you pay R & M and I will provide you every week with a cartoon in ASCII characters that is every bit as funny and recognisable as the currently weekly sh1t from R & M. Granted this means it will be just as unfunny and crap, but at least it won’t be worse, it’ll be cheaper, and the festering barrel of useless twuntage that produces this sh1t needs to feel the cold wind of market forces chilling their botty.

      Buy a small barbecue and a few bags of charcoal. You can cook all you want and boil the kettle at the same time and it will certainly come in at under 60 quid month – plus in the winter it will also keep you warm.

    There are over 17,000 declared lobbyists in the United States

    The real number is probably double that

    Paid trips to buy the British political class is just a passtime for these people

    Add to this the thousands of lobbyists in Brussels gouging bilions the EU budget

    And you have an idea of the scope of this generalised corruption

      Yes, the excellent “Meltdown” series abiout the financial crash – currently on AlJazeera – states that lobbyists outnumber politicians by over 5 to one in Washington. I can quite believe that, having observed the recent chicanery and pork barrelling over the recent financial arrangements.

    Michael Hinze is a £ multi-million hedge-fund baron, and former Goldman Sachs looter of the Credit-Crunch crisis. Hintze has funded the new defence secretary Philip Hammond’s lavish dinner parties, along with the recently wound-up Atlantic Bridge affair and Fox and Werritty’s lavish international dealings and meetings.
    Hintze is a fanatic of Margaret Thatcher and the Tory party, and is a serious Tory political donor. William Plague on Hague, quaking in his boots, says he’s not bothered about the impact of Hintze, Werritty or Fox on British foreign policy, and is eager to attempt to cover it all up.

    Here is some good news for a change !!

    The TV Licensing Goons who’s masters are the Biased Broadcasting Company aka BBC, have gone on strike but only for 24 hours. And the reason for there actions is because of a below inflation pay award they have been offered,
    arrrh shame where’s the kleenex, lets have a whip round, (that will excite that kinky lot @ Westminster)

    Needless to say not a word about this out of the orifice of ZanuLieLabor by the BBC lets hope they stay on strike for good & helps to bleed to a quicker termination of the BBC.

    Interesting that the BBC have now migrated more of their totally biased loony left wing reporting into the World Service as per early this morning with three programmes including the London “riots” interviews with a black supermarket assistant manager complaining about the police.
    Foreign Office (aka taxpayers) paying for the migration of biased news to corrupt the not so tainted BBC World Service?
    Wake up Haigh and smell the coffee.
    Loads and loads of repeats now on radio – even from last year, yet no high flyers getting their P45′s.

      BBC News World TV led their “news” this morning with the death of a racing driver in America I suspect not many people had ever heard of hitherto. IMHO that should have been shifted to the sports segment but as I don’t pay the telly tax I really don’t care very much actually. It does however go to show how these grinning chimps fill the time with irrelevances rather than more important stuff that people want to know about.

        One big, cancerous tumour in our body politic that should be tackled is the way that incompetent lefty women thrive in our public services, regardless of the damage that they do. Sharon Shoesmith was one, but why in God’s name is ‘Dame’ Cynthia Bower still running the satirically-named ‘Care Quality Commission’, currently telling us what we know, that many of our hospitals are a one-way ticket to premature death for the elderly and vulnerable? Cynthia certainly knows, because she was at the top of the appalling Staffordshire hospital mass killing of over 1200 patients – and then, incredibly, moved without apology or sanction on to running the CQC, where we had the Winterbourne View scandal. As long as these awful, arrogant, overpaid, incompetent people are treated as bulletproof, our public services are fucked.

Tom Harris bemoans the public’s attitude to politicians…

“Mr Oborne echoes the lazy, anti-politics whine we hear so often these days, all based on the absurd notion that politicians were once loved and only fell out of public favour during the expenses scandal. He should take a walk to the Strangers’ Bar. But not to sup with the patrons he seems to despise so much, dearie me, no; he should instead look at the paintings on the corridor outside the bar, which depict the devastating fire which consumed most of the Palace in 1834. And he should reflect on the fact that on that dramatic night, as the Commons went up in flames, a crowd gathered on the South Bank to clap and cheer.”



Focus group time. says:

The thing that Dave needs to work out is which group is more likely to vote Conservative. Mad swivel-eyed loons or mad homosexuals wishing to get married.
