    You think it's over? No, it won't be even though some other scandals no doubt would appear, either way next Govt will be Labour.

    Or Monster Looney Party if you vote right, you know it makes sense!

      I doubt it, people are too scared to have then in again, the Libs are as well.

      It will be a coalition but Labour will not be in power.

      ( If they do I am moving to The Ukraine for more people power and prosperity )

        Oh Lordy. Who voted this clown in again?



        The worrying thing is we have a Prime Minister who actually thinks in this simplistic, knee-jerk Daily Mail fashion.
        My faith in British politics died about the same time as my pension and various liberties during The Reign of Terror circa 1997-2010 under the mendacious Labour party, the party that always fails their country and the people with its cultural Marxists ideologies.

        Those w@nkers Brown, Blair, Campbell, Mandleson and the other self-serving parasites will never, ever be forgiven for the ruination of this nation.

        To see all parties of all flavours follow this path of ruin is simply beyond parody.

        Let me remind you all again, showing signs of partisanship when discussing politics is merely adding fuel to this political inferno.

        I notice, Alf W, that you are quite happy (and rightly so) to slate the Tories and yet, a little shy to hold to account the bastards from the Red Team that were in power for the last 13 years.

        If you are partisan then you are part of the problem.
        If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.

          Gotta keep those cronies happy, yeah? No doubt they came and asked for £2Bn for something or other. A bit of rooting around and hey Bingo!!

            There are also care kids, people medically discharged from the army*, and juvenile offenders who families definitely won't support them.

            The first and the last group are often one and the same.

            In regards to the girls unless they fall into those groups they should be left at home.

            I doubt you home is a top-floor one bedroom flat in a drug infested estate in Battersea where people regularly p*ss and sh*t in the lift.

            Or a mouldy and damp draughty flat where the landlord refuses to do any maintenance because you are "benefit scrum" who will just wreck it.

            You need to have more than one or two kids to get a nice place.

              When are people going to realise that we do not have the money!

              I heard that David Laws has suggested a government spending limit of 35% of GDP, I think we are currently spending 50%, this just cannot go on.

              We need serious spending cuts, so far we have had none.

              Start with a thorough review of what we spend our money on and how we do things, we ran an empire covering a quarter of the globe with a civil service a fraction of what we have now.

              We then need a long term plan to pay off the debt, that is after we have eradicated the deficit, the debt needs to be paid off over say 20-30 years.
              "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero

                  The state does not have the money.

                  The state is planning to spend over £700 billion and they will only raise about £600 billion from taxes, so we have to get rid of the deficit and then tackle the debt, which at the peak will be about £1400 billion.

                  As long as we then don't add to this debt we can make a plan to clear it over the next 20-30 years, this will become easier as the economy grows.

                  Having said all of the above, if and when Labour get back to power they will not be able to resist raiding the public coffers and spend it on useless projects.

                  Labour's problem is that they do not like to say no to anyone, only responsible politicians are able to do this and sadly, it always falls on the tories to sort out the mess that Labour leave us.

                    Take no notice of AtW. He has no idea about economics. The rest of us know what you mean.
