Osborne is giving his Autumn statement and it won't be too cheery. He will no doubt still be blaming Labour's term for the state of the economy, but surely being in for over 2 years he has to bare most, if not all, of the responsibility of the state of the economy?

But let's not get partisan about this - they are all ****ing parasites and all to blame.

I don't know what everyone is moaning about.
Firstly, the concensus on here at the start of this government was that the economy would take at least ten years to fix.
In which case no-one on here should be surprised (sasguru might have put it differently
)
Secondly, all statements and plans made by the government have to have political jam on them to get votes and market confidence.
So nobody should be surprised at that either.Comment

Attitudes need to change : people's sense of entitlement needs to go, what they consider a fair wage and what they consider a reasonable standard of living needs to come down, the status of some professions needs to fall and others needs to rise.
As a whole most people in the West are living beyond their means, what they create and sell doesn't justify their standard of living.Hard Brexit now!

Of course no one expects a debt free Britain in 2 years, however he is far of course he set himself. Most other countries are now growing, reducing the debt much quicker, by way of not cutting to quickly and stimulating via spending.Originally posted by DimPrawn View PostTell you what.

2 years after taking over an economy which was left in ruins, borrowing massively out of control and a note saying ' we spent all the money' I think its reasonable to complainOriginally posted by LatteLiberal View PostOsborne is giving his Autumn statement and it won't be too cheery.
