And much of what is on offer apart from it being 12 years too late, only applies to England. 46 Labour MPs from Scotland voting on all this health and education and childcare stuff when it doesn't apply to their constituents.hatfield girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12673905475452420002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-17734544827810739642009-09-30T10:38:41.243+01:002009-09-30T10:38:41.243+01:00My point about the deficit is that the deficit nee...My point about the deficit is that the deficit needs to be reduced far more quickly than Darling says he would.Old BEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06974090439936326476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-84136227285066201802009-09-30T09:26:02.349+01:002009-09-30T09:26:02.349+01:00I don't "get" Labour's deficit p...<i>I don't "get" Labour's deficit promise. In four years time there will still be a 7% deficit!

They still haven't got it have they? The voters and public are not the same today as they were in 1997, particularly not now we have blogs and in-depth analysis at the touch of a mouse. Voters see through this for what it is; a shabby and vindictive piece of legislation...when they have serious other matters to address. This will come back to haunt them, hopefully.<br /><br />Then the final nail in Labours coffin; the Sun has openly say they back the Tories. Not as significant as it was, but still significant, and soon, very soon, all those dirty little secrets of Labours Government for thirteen years will be given to the Sun for the masses to see in plain words...now that is massively significant and a literal get out of jail free card for ten years at least...the card Labour used right up until...oh, about 9.30 am this morning.Houdinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02299827686189026014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-61779055231752706642009-09-30T01:22:00.030+01:002009-09-30T01:22:00.030+01:00What an excellent analysis.

We borrow and print money now, during the recession and collapse in tax revenues, so that we can keep the mushrooming benefits classes living in the lifestyle they have become acustomed to under Labour.<br /><br />The poorer we get as the currency collapses and the wealthy jump ship the more equal we all become. Then the tofu-muncher barrister twats that form the Labour party finally realise their dream of lording it over us for ever and ever.Steven_Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029437876479574883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-31660080539944398662009-09-29T23:05:56.675+01:002009-09-29T23:05:56.675+01:00Houdini: "Brown may have given a decent speec...Houdini: "Brown may have given a decent speech, by his standards, but it is too late by far."<br /><br />I agree.

The Tories have waited for Brown and Labour to set out their stall because they have the habit of pinching policy...but that won't work now with only six or so months to go before the election. Brown may have given a decent speech, by his standards, but it is too late by far.<br /><br />Not to mention of course that the SNP have come on leaps and bounds in Scotland, which will have serious consequences for Labour come election time...shit they beat Labour in England in 2005!<br /><br />Lib Dems and SNP, and to a lesser degree Plaid Cymru, will have a huge effect on Labour and allow the Tories more than just a comfortable win. For the first time, ever, I can see Labour as the third party of Government...now there is a delicious thought, Clegg facing Cameron across the floor of the HoC.Houdinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02299827686189026014noreply@blogger.com
