Reply to: Hague says Labour are poisoning the wells as they flee

SLabour should be sitting ducks.

FFS, they should be duck parts in a nice meal by now!

Sir John Major has written a piece in the Sunday Mail, which is also an interesting read. Why can't Camerloon come out with stuff like this, Labour should be sitting ducks.

Lowlights include:

• The Government is borrowing £1/2 billion a day :
  I do not believe most people yet realise how serious this debt is: the Labour Government is having to borrow £500million a day.
• We are unlikely - ever - to be able to reduce our overall debt to the low level of where the last Conservative government left it in 1997
  
• Austerity is unavoidable whoever forms the next government
  Labour know this, yet the Prime Minister offers false optimism, when what the electorate deserves is a stark and truthful assessment of the facts
  Every one of us faces a decade of stringency because of Labour's folly and mismanagement
  
• The past decade under Blair/Brown has been the worst for growth since the Thirties
  
• Manufacturing is declining at a record rate
  
• This Labour Government, like every single one of its predecessors, has wrecked the British economy and bequeathed a crisis
  
• The debt which it admits excludes large sums it has kept off the balance sheet
  
• The unemployment figures represent only one half of men and women of working age who are not gainfully employed
  
• The gap between rich and poor has widened, sink estates have worsened, social mobility has fallen and failing schools cripple the prospects of too many children. This is not fairness. It is failure
  
  
• Deceiving the electorate should be a capital crime politically and yet, under Labour, the public has become inured to it. They should be outraged
  

No mention of mass immigration though, which is the one of the biggies that freaks me out.

They should have largely ignored Brown - he was already toast as far as the electorate are concerned - and concentrated instead on projecting themselves as a strong alternative.

I think they've wrongly chosen the "safe" path. Even now they are probably thinking that lack of "inevitable" Cons victory would mobilise their electorate

[Doggy Styles]

They (Cons) are tulip scared they'd hit Brown too hard so that they install anyone else who'd get just enough points to get hung parliament.

Bad strategy IMHO.

HTH

I'm convinced their campaign and policy unit is staffed entirely by spotty 16-year-olds.

I'm pissed off with the Tories' campaign and policy unit for f***ing up a golden opportunity to bury this shower for a generation.

How long did your neighbours go without a government? Never did them any harm. Probably did them a lot of good.

[SizeZero]

If it makes you feel better, the government here collapsed on Saturday morning, but nobody seems to care too much about it - there's always another dozen parties lining up to form a new coalition

[suityou01]

If they get in, they should arest the whole of the former government and hold a full auidit by an external company.

Well said HAB.

People got shot during WW1 and 2 for much less

Would hold them for treason if there is one sniff of truth.

[suityou01]

If Tories get in they should carry out Due Diligence let the public know how bad the facts and figures.

ok, who is a member of a forum and only has 104 posts in 5 years?

Sockie anyone?

[smalldog]

Due Diligence should be carried out before final decision on purchase is made.

Maybe Tories should get in, tell all the horrible truth and then disband Govt to run new election with the main goal to get mandate to punish Nu Liebor responsible for this mess once and for all.

Due Diligence
