Atul Hatwal on Ed Miliband’s deficit policy…
“Since Ed Miliband reshuffled his shadow cabinet in early October, the Labour party has issued 830 press releases. Out of these, there have been just two on spending restraint. Two. In terms of Labour’s media effort since this shadow cabinet was appointed, the party has devoted 0.25% of its output to tackling the reason we lost the last election.”

Andrew Pierce on Ed Balls…
“Porky Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls sweet-talked guests at a fund-raising dinner by saying if he wasn’t a politician, he would be a chef. That’s not surprising, since he was accused of cooking the Treasury books when he was Gordon Brown’s boot boy.”
is there anyone in the world that Tony hasnt screwed in some way?
Are the knives out for Ed and Ken?
A sensible policy from Labour if they’re hoping to get elected. Their best bet is to hope for collective voter amnesia about who destroyed the UK economy in the first place. No point bringing it up and reminding everybody even 0.25% of the time from Labour’s point of view.
What’s more disappointing is that the Tories don’t bring it up 99.75% of the time.
And the fact that the tories are barely scratching the surface of tackling the mess and what few cuts they do propose get overturned time and again in the House of Lords.
I should have said..
What’s more surprising is that the Tories don’t bring it up 99.75% of the time.
But the rest, as you’ve pointed out, is more ‘disappointing’ than ‘surprising’. Why Cameron doesn’t simply appoint more T*ry Lords to railro*ad his legislation through (like Labour did) is also a mystery.
Agreed. One of the first things he did as PM was appoint a load more Lords, based on party results of the 2010 election.
If I had access to the airwaves like a cabinet minister, I would be raising the “they left us a deficit the size of a black Wednesday happening, every single week” at every opportunity as a way to explain the backdrop to any decision.
Or have the tories embraced political correctness so completely that they cannot refer to “black” anything with negative connotations anymore?
Yep. Black Wednesday every fucking week thanks to Labour. I’d be hammering it home too. The political fallout from Black Wednesday was worth 13 years in power to Labour and yet by the end of the Imbecility they were wasting that much money every fucking week and nobody was batting an eyelid.
In-fucking-credible.
Too far, too fast 100% of the time
People don’t want to hear ‘deficit’ ‘labour@ etc anymore
Just say. We can’t afford it.
Ed and Ken , dead comrades walking
Hardly surprising. They are still in a state of denial. You can’t educate pork.
Labour support waste and are the party of work-shy scroungers.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to maintain the Spendthrift Labour campaign when the Coalition have found money for a vanity war in Lybia, an extra £2Billion for the vanity Olympics, and continue to shovel aid to countries who don’t want it because bleeding hearts in the establishment wish to assuage group-think guilt for a colonisation which ended 63 years ago. Neither does the no-money-left meme work when the Coalition is hosing money on fucking useless bird-shredders, being paid for by OAP’s who don’t dare turn the lights on because of the power bills.
And I haven’t even mentioned the iniquitous financial arrangements with the totally corrupt. anti-democratic EUSSR.
And I haven’t even mentioned the money hosed into the bottomless pit of the totally corrupt, anti-democratic EU.
… and the 35 Billion for a rail link
Atul Hatwal, together with Jonathan Roberts, have been sent for re-education so that their views can be corrected.
