splodgeyAl Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Brownie and his cronies not jumping about saying it's not true. Darling coming up with some fatuous remark and the rest have slithered away. I am afraid we are in one hell of a mess thanks to the underhand way in which the figures were 'hidden'. No doubt the new lot will get it in the neck when drastic cuts are made. Gordon Brown the best chancellor ever??He used more trickery than Paul Daniels in pulling numbers out of a hat. Gordo's off-sheet PFI jiggery-pokery wasn't hidden to anyone who reads Private Eye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jobee Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 Blair and Brown sure knew how to make a mess of things, and go warmongering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splodgeyAl Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Thankfully we have the internet to record what happened as it happened, time stamped and authenticated. Lying politicians have had their day. Yes. noone's ever issued anything like UPDATE table SET timestamp = NOW() - 5 DAY WHERE record_id = blahblah, ever! I wonder when Labour changed their on-line manifesto... http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/05/05/labour_manifesto_rewrite/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esme Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Thankfully we have the internet to record what happened as it happened, time stamped and authenticated. Lying politicians have had their day. I really hope you are right on this but looking at some of the more political debates held in these very forums I've noted that people have a tendency to ignore inconvenient facts Gordo's off-sheet PFI jiggery-pokery wasn't hidden to anyone who reads Private Eyetrue, sadly a report in private eye doesn't carry as much weight as a report in the financial times and even if we had known we couldn't have stopped him or got labour out of office before they were good and ready to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just a glib reply to Tony's glib point. But still doesn't answer the question - when exactly did Labour change their on-line manifesto, and what exactly were the changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
