No we wouldn't, we would be growing again by now, Greece introduced tough Austerity cuts and look at their bond rates. Maybe you should read some basic economic theory instead of parroting the usual Osborne party line.

Balls called this perfectly, he said cutting to fast would stifle growth and it happened, many economists predicted the same but Ozzy and Dave carried on regardless.

Not a violent man and I'm a believer in democracy but I want to kick Ed Balls in the head.

Just seen him on TV reacting to the Q4 figures.

The way his eyes bulge when he gets going

If this were a totalitarian state I can just imagine him being the one to attach electrodes to dissenters' private parts.

Still, now we're in recession we won't have to put up with him doing that flatlining signal at PMQs.

Not really shameful at all. I wanted him tied down to stakes in the ground and ravaged by rabid squirrels...

He represents the worst of the champaign socialist. He may even give Derrick Hatton a run for his money...

Both him and his wife need to be removed from anywhere near the chance of power.

When will he apologize for Labour leading us into this mess?

I thought he stood up in the commons and apologized for something along those lines.

Its most people's standard reaction to him.

It wouldn't be too bad but last week he said that Osbourne had been correct in doing exactly what he had been doing for the last 18 months.
