The more money we pay for this debt the less there is to provide public services. Whats Gordon's answer to this problem? He will continue to spend, spend ,spend.<br /><br />The banks got us into this mess, helped in no small measure by Gordon's useless but, very expensive quango, the FSA. When they went into meltdown they were not allowed to fail as happens to all other company failures.<br />They were deemed to big to fail and thus merited Gordon throwing £175 billion of taxpayers' money to recue them, with hardly an executive sacked, a bonus lost or a pension diminished.<br />Whats Gordon's answer been? He made one of the banks even bigger and now his Chancellor in his Mansion House address says their is no need to reduce the size of the banks or to tighten regulatory powers.<br /><br />Just goes to prove Alice in Wonderland might have been fantasy but, it had a lot more sanity about it than our present Prime Minister.Flemingcragnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-27847729946432399612009-06-18T06:50:15.337+01:002009-06-18T06:50:15.337+01:00I would prefer to see cuts of more than 10% please...I would prefer to see cuts of more than 10% please - make the backroom public sector layabouts work for once in their lives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-69426872276915245792009-06-18T03:51:31.199+01:002009-06-18T03:51:31.199+01:00Gordon's clearly been given some coaching.

Ivan died very suddenly a little over four months ago, his death will have left a yawning chasm that will be hard to seal.<br /><br />Four months is not long when you're trying to deal with a sudden death, and it's also the time when it begins to hit home - that a person has died, and won't becoming back. DC is a family man, he has a wife and two other children who will also be suffering - and they live in a house that was built around Ivan.<br /><br />He has actually done remarkably well under the circumstances, and has even seen Brown try to cash in on the "I lost my baby too" bandwagon, with the publication of his book.<br /><br />For DC to have "performed badly" today, when Michael Martin showed his true partisan colours and, as a parting shot, allowed the whole of the Labour benches to heckle for about a minute, is not entirely unexpected.<br /><br />Under the circumstances I think he did fairly well - but do agree that he needs to pull some things together, and perhaps also learn some Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques - it works in advertising and it, sadly, works for Labour!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-28490150482607486492009-06-18T02:07:43.934+01:002009-06-18T02:07:43.934+01:00Cameron has looked much less sure footed lately, a...Cameron has looked much less sure footed lately, and why was Lansbury discussing the economy ?<br />And Jeremy Hunt yesterday, on the Politics Show was dire - Cameron spoke about witholding part of the license fee to fund other public service broadcasters, about a year ago, but this has now morphed into a Labour policy, and Hunt just refused to answer ANY questions (like a typical Labour aparatchik).<br />The whole Conservative communications strategy is poor, poor, poor !!

There is going to be no choice about this, so why doesn't Cameron make it clear that the choice is more taxation or spending cuts or both?<br /><br />I cannot imagine what Labour has in store for after the next election, but I will bet on massive tax hikes.

It is not sensible to allow large banks to combine high street retail banking with risky investment banking or funding strategies, and then provide an implicit state guarantee against failure."<br /></b><br />http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2009/jun/17/king-in-bank-reform-call<br /><br />I really do wish you'd brush up on your economics Iain (and I'd wish the same for a great many conservative activists) because your economic illiteracy really does let you down at times.
