One minute you want to hang every banker and take every penny off of them, the next you claim it was an 'investement' to bail out the banks? You seem a mite confused! Here is a fact for you. Every single Labour government ever elected, left office with unemployment higher than when they entered office. Left office with more personal freedoms eroded for the average man eroded. Complain about tory policies but never ever change them and go back to how it was Whine about privatised services and companies but never when in power bring em back under government control. |

One more thing. We spent 850 billion pounds saving the banks in 2008. Why? Because savers right across the country would have lost their money had labour allowed the banks to fail. Labour didn't cause the crisis. We need to get rid of these tories so we give the majority a better Britain. Ah so the banking crisis happened on labours watch. reading your post i forgot and thought it was the torries fault ,thaat the world economy took a dive |

Asking Labour to control the countries economy is like asking the pyrocondriac who set fire to your house to put it out ! Anyone who seriously think that Labour are the answer are seriously deluded. The permanent secretary to the Treasury, Sir Nicholas Macpherson, has argued that the 2008 financial crisis was “a banking crisis pure and simple”, contradicting Conservative claims that it was caused by Labour overspending. The 2008 crisis was a banking crisis pure and simple. In a largely challenging review of Mr Osborne’s Economic Experiment, a book by the columnist William Keegan, Macpherson wrote in March before the campaign started: “The 2008 crisis was a banking crisis pure and simple. Excessive risk had built up in the system; the regulators failed to appreciate the scale of that risk or to address it. “As he puts it, it was ‘a failure of the Group of Seven economic policymaking establishment’, myself included. Inevitably, countries with bigger banking sectors, notably the UK, were worse affected.” Structural debt has doubled under the tories. All the suffering and we are worse off. Kick them out, please! |

So “a banking crisis pure and simple” after 10 years of a Labour government isn't their fault? For six years previous to 2008 they ran a huge deficit, perhaps unaware of the general consensus that when the weather is good you build the roof (aka when the economy is ok start paying down the defecit/debt and get the house in order...) William Keegan is a left-wing lunatic who (when you read his columns in late 2014/early 2015) show why the election gave us a Tory majority... |

I'm not that deep into politics, but when the election comes round and Dave promises this that and the other I can't help but wonder why he didn't do any of it during the years he's already been there. |
