Grandad.Malky Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 This isn’t a points scoring thread but can we now put to bed all the Brown / Blair, Labour party bashing nonsense or are they responsible for the downfall of the greatest nation in the world that is on the fringe of defaulting on its debts.

taxman Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Brown caused the global economic collapse. He also eats babies, shuts pubs, puts up police speed cameras, digs potholes in the roads and has a big moustache that he twirls whilst laughing.

So, for the last two years, the Bories have been saying the economy was a mess because of LieBore, now they're saying it is a worldwide problem and not caused by LieBore? Could this be due to the further slowdown in UK economic growth that has been announced today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister M Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I've just been watching the news on the telly & the correspondent said that George Osborne is claiming that the Royal Wedding is a factor causing the slow growth....Surely he can't be blaming the Royal Wedding for slow growth?

You missed the bit about simultaneously pricing everyone out of the housing market whilst engineering a collapse of property prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hots on Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Labour spent far too much money which just exacerbated the situation. Even without the "global downturn" Labours overspending in itself ruined the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFKvsNixon Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 If the USA doesn't pull its finger out and sort it's political wrangling it will soon default on its debt, have its credit status down graded, and the Dollar will lose it's status as the reserve currency. Along with the upcoming Greek default and the questions being asked about Italy's and Spain economies mean that there could be a major storm on the horizon. The current figures are disappointing, but the current economic plans are focused on what the economy will be doing in 4 years time when the deficit will at more a manageable level. Judge the economy then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obelix Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 If that happens then I wonder who gets to be the reserve currency? It won't be the Euro for sure, and I doubt that people would choose the yuan, so it's going to be us, or the Swiss Franc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandad.Malky Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 Even without the "global downturn" Labours overspending in itself ruined the country. And not spending as resulted in growth of 0.2% ………. Nice move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
