Stoatwobbler Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-30726499 Prime Minister David Cameron has said he will not take part in TV debates ahead of the general election unless the Green Party are also included. He said he did not see how "some minor parties like the Liberal Democrats and UKIP" could take part in the leaders' debates, but not the Greens. Labour leader Ed Miliband has said the PM "owes it to the people" to take part. The current proposals for the TV election debates only include the Conservatives, Labour, the Liberal Democrats and UKIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECCOnoob Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 The problem with the tories, apart from their antisocial policies of divide and conquer which has plague them through all their history, is that they eventually run out of other people's money "Run out of other people's money" Coming from a labour lovvie like yourself that has to be a wind up. Labour do nothing but spend other people's money. They even continue to spend spend spend when the purse is empty. Talk about rose tinted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Ladd Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Another spot on observation: So David Cameron gives out his Christmas message of “giving, sharing and taking care of others" I do not need to add to much to those hollow words from a hollow man. This Christmas more than 80,000 families will be on a sanction over Christmas. Nearly 7,000 of them disabled people. An estimated saving of £20 million for the DWP for December. 90,000 children will now be homeless this Christmas as a direct result of the Tory punishment of the poor and never ending giving to the rich. The inns are overflowing with 60,000 homeless families in one room B&B accommodation. While Dave celebrates the birth of Christ in a humble stable at one of his four luxury residences , homeless veterans, who fought for his Christian country, will be sleeping on the streets tonight and some may be just lucky enough to be fed by a charity this Christmas day. David Cameron refused millions of pounds from the EU to help the country feed the truly needy. As Dave has now had his soul removed to allow him to stuff more fine food and wine into his stomach let's not forget some of the poors souls who died a miserable and lonely death at the hands of the Tories, like.. Mark Wood, a fragile man with Aspergers Syndrome, severe mental illness and cognitive functioning problems.He was found fit to work.His ESA and Housing Benefit were stopped. He then simply sat alone in his flat and starved to death. Mark woods sister and the sister of another man, David Clapson, a diabetic ex-soldier who also starved to death alone in his flat after being sanctioned by the government, held a meeting in Cameron's own constituency in November in an effort to make sure David Cameron would let no other vulnerable people starve to death in modern day Britain. David Cameron couldn't even be bothered to reply, let alone turn up, and the deaths have carried on with the media and press giving no more than a few lines to the stories of these avoidable tragedies, and still very few seem to care about these nameless, voiceless people who went to their graves in silence and have become this countries national shame , which one day people will ask how an earth did we allow this happen.This country has gone backwards over the last four years to a time when nobody cared for anything apart from what they had or wanted, where selfishness and jealousy are now a by product of conservatism. David Cameron and his sidekick George Osborne boasts that all this misery heaped upon the working poor was to save and strengthen Britain's economy !! That boast was left in tatters yesterday when Osborne and his lies were exposed by factual figures that showed the economy as pathetically weak and unbalanced and that Osborne"s boast about cutting the national debt was laughable. The national debt has soared by £89.7 billion in just 12 months, according to the Office for National Statistics. One top American economist described George Osborne as a buffoon and that his so called long term economic plan was to shrink the state to a pre war level and let charity fill a tiny gap and then give the money that has literally been stolen from the hungry mouths of babies to the rich, and provide large corporations with an endless line of poverty waged slaves and free labour of the unemployed. If Thatcher was once described as morally bankrupt then I do not know what words can be described to these parasites !! and let's not forget Nick Clegg and his Lib Dems who's last achievement of the year was to insure that the bedroom tax will still be in existence next year !! David Cameron talks about christian values !! These are not exclusively Christian values, these are the values of any decent human being who when given the chance of power and the chance of change would do his or her up most to leave the country a better place than where they found it !! David Cameron and his band of merry men have left devastation and misery at every turn, they have left the country the most divided it has ever been, and a country that is very nearly on the brink of another coming of the dark ages where the poor die in their slums unable to access medical services, or books and education or financial help for food and heating. David Cameron's vision is that the rich should throw a few coins at the down trodden classes in the form of charity, and that the state should no longer take any burden in helping those that need help and that all that money should be diverted into increasing the countries wealth , which of course means increasing the wealth of the already wealthy. Never ever forget that it was David Cameron who in 2010 gave the working class never ending austerity, and then gave the wealthiest a massive tax cut in the same breath... Reduced the debt left by LABOUR by a third. Created 1.5million new jobs in private industry (you know, the kind that makes the money you lot want to spend). Has the economy growing faster than any other developed country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it hasn't, which why the economy had to be revised down again a couple of weeks ago. Not the mention the national debt doubling since 2010 and the deficit widening since around April 2014 Edited January 9, 2015 by Mecky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In cash terms of course the amount is up, in % terms (the terms that matters) it is down by one third. Any comment on the unemployment figures? Or the number of new businesses?

Mister M Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 3 million would give everyone plenty of space, you wouldn't have all the social problems that we have today that are largely caused by people living in such close proximity to each other. Families could have homesteads and be self-sufficient, grow their own crops, raise livestock and barter with friendly neighbours. I get the impression that you'd like to go back to the days of feudal Britain with people scrabbling around in the mud to scrape together a living Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for unemployment figures, we gone over suspension of benefits and ZHC god knows how many times before. As for number of new businesses, that's been done to death as well and is only one of the few non-study immigration routes left for getting a visa to extend leave in the UK. Very few of these are genuine businesses. ---------- Post added 11-01-2015 at 19:03 ---------- On with something else: http://energydesk.greenpeace.org/2015/01/06/fossil-fuels-industries-abroad-given-1-7bn-financial-backing-uk-agency/ ---------- Post added 12-01-2015 at 12:37 ---------- Saw this in which Cameron asks parents not to pass debt on to their children. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-30773974 Not bad coming from someone who has doubled the national debt since 2010 and is the reason for many peoples' debt in the first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
