PC Brigade Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 No surprise really - our country needs a LibDem landslide to secure the services of Nick Clegg and Vinny Cable. . . . I see you didn't read the article either then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwine1 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 wednesday1, why in your view is labour, the party that has the 'majorities interests at heart'. As this is the party that - refused the people a referendum (EU broken promise) Has removed the ten pence tax. Has removed the borders of this country Has removed free speech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vague_Boy Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Looks like "winning" the election is turning out to be a poisoned chalice. At least according to Mervyn King, governor of the Bank of England. King: Election winner will be out of power for a generation Whichever party wins this election will have to inflict such painful austerity measures on the British population that they will soon find themselves out of power for generation. Beans on toast Britain, here we come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny5 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Mervyn King is a self-important doom-monger who has rarely gotten anything right since the recession first hit. I wouldn't read too much into what he has to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vague_Boy Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Mervyn King is a self-important doom-monger Are we talking about a different Mervyn King here? Anyway, here's a second opinion: The Institute for Fiscal Studies spelt it out earlier this week in typically frank terms. Labour and the LibDem plans imply the biggest squeeze on public services since the 1970s, when the IMF was in town. The Tory plans imply the biggest set of cuts since records began in 1948.

llamatron Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I don't get it; I mean the Brown incident. I thought people wanted their politicians to be honest, but as soon as one is, support for him dwindles... It wasn't really honest being as he said "lovely to have met you", then slagged her off when he thought noone was listening. Thats getting caught lying not being honest.

Kingmaker2 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Are you still banging on about that, spilling it over into unrelated threads? Since it seems to offend so much you please feel free to do what you should have done yesterday - report it and ask a mod to alter it. I'm sure that they will oblige and I have no reason to feel slighted. If you can't be bothered to do that perhaps you are just persisting in a chance to childishly goad another SF member. Enjoy your moment, it's one way traffic. Tony, you seem to be taking this awfully badly. Sorry about that didn't want to upset you, it's probably a day you want to put behind you, several gaffs in one day and all:hihi: "Chill" as they say in some parts.

llamatron Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 From bbc news "Business Secretary Lord Mandelson has just taken a spin in a zero-emission, environmentally-friendly hydrogen-powered car created by in the University of Birmingham. On climbing out, he says: "It was a very smooth ride, very reliable, very creative and based on strong science - just like the government and our economic policy."" Labour needs to go so we can never hear from him or gb again. He is the smarmiest man ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
