Yeah thanks to the Tories for deregulating the banks in the 80!!which started this mess!! The tories sold almost everything off, gas,trains etc prices rise,thanks to them,closed pits in the north,sold off so many council houses without new builds,there is now a massive shortage! less help for single mothers,they kick out people from affluent areas to create slum lands,and now trying force the terminally ill to take a job or loose there home.Never in a million years would I vote for such evil!
David Cameron's final thoughts...We need money for to pay for the Olympics...I must rape the poor and the sick as we need to put on a good fireworks display for the world and for fucks sake i must make sure that the rich are safe by not touching there child benefit.
personally i wouldnt like to vote any major partys now since they all currupt and lies, might vote bnp lol at least they actually care nabout britain to be honest
Duh do your maths mate. That is a pretty thick statement. If there was 2.6 unemployed under Labour and it went up to 2.7 under the Tories how does that make it the Tories fault for it rising to 2.6 million in the first place.
Why the fuck is hitler got to do with this subject? Hes long gone dead, why are people still talking about him who cares, right wing movement know the way forward, to long britain has been pissed on with lazy dole people, im glad they are hitting hard on tax robbers
@LandyYecla YOU what? Stalan russian killed just the same amout as hitler. He was more ruthless than hitler also, He also killed 30million christains all together during ww2. WOW 6 million jews, why is that specific number a big deal? more europeans died more than Jews. Its also amazing like hitler to get a whole country to his hands over speeches etc. Hitler had to do what had to be done to save germany since they were bullyed by the whole world ever since the ww1
@twburr Alright, I'm not too sure of the details... but didn't Hitler cause World War 2? Therefore he caused the deaths of the majority (minus the Sino-Japanese War) a good 50 million people. Also, the Holocaust was 11 million people (six million jews). If Stalin did cause more deaths than hitler, than i apoligise. I haven't studied World War 2 very extensively yet.
The German dominated Fourth Reich European Union is Hitler's dream come true. Both the EU loving Toff led Conservative and traitor lawyer led Labour political parties sponge off the general taxpayer and peddle bullshit via their BBC state propaganda news agency on a daily basis. Let's have a bit of democracy for a change starting with a referendum on our membership of the criminally corrupt European Union project that is costing us £billions.
Michael Gove. David Willets, Andrew Lansley, Cameron, Osbourne - right wing thugs the lot of 'em. The sooner the liberals realise the error of their ways and bring the whole lot crashing down the better. 18 months tops.
The Tories will change things so that Tory land owning Toffs will be able to hunt foxes and stags with vicious packs of dogs again. The Tories will be giving even more of our taxes away - than even Labour did - to the hopelessly corrupt and criminal led European Union project that they signed us up to at Maastricht in1992.
If labor hadent destroyed our contry, the conservatives wouldent of had to do so meny cuts, so stop your biching protestors and try and get this contry working again, you wount change anything by destroying tourist atractions. you'll simply put up more debt on us, sham on all who have no love for our nation... shame on you people...
sorry for bad spelling, im dyslexic so i cant help it.
The previous Labour government deliberately let in 4 million if you should properly stop counting the UK citizens that left. Their deliberate open door policy was to rub the Conservatives nose in the mud of "racism", the UK has been irretrievably damaged. The immigrants are undercutting the British workers vanishing into the black economy The UK's unemployment rate is rapidly rising, along with the benefits bill. Shame on all Labour voters. Lock them in the Tower!
On a side note before Labour bailed out the banking industry The deficit compared to the GDP was lower than they inherited, George Osbourne also promised to match spending penny to penny, I'm calling bullshit.
what a totally over the top cynical video from the tories, just pointing at negatives and exagerrating, all the tories do when they keep blaming labour for every ill in public life is leave themselves open for big attacks later on down the line, if their was another recession under the tories, (their have been plenty before), then everyone will savage them for it, they will have no credibility at all and will just look like mega hypocrites
“There were no measures to protect people in poverty, and no serious commitment to make wealthy individuals or corporations pay a fairer share of the cost of reducing the deficit.”
Family Action was equally scathing in its response to the Budget, saying that the measures would not help families.
Conservatives George Osborne is clearly not a family man. We need a fair family stabiliser, not just a fair fuel stabiliser.
The sooner Conservatives are out, the better it will be for all of us.
What a bunch of utter crap... typical Tory lies. Forgetting the fact that Labour inherited a country in ruins, a destroyed manufacturing industry and a lumpenproletariatt- people unemployed and unemployable thanks to Thatcher's destruction of the sources of manual labour in the 80's. "Spent and spent and spent"? You cretins. Labour managed to give Britain something you never quite got- 10 years of uninterrupted prosperity, a performance no Tory government ever achieved.
@saundersDave11 You seem to want statistics, yet it's very difficult to give the exact deficit. If you think you have the precise deficit then let us all know. Where are you going with your questions? Get to the point please.
@seekyefirst It is indeed hard to give the exact deficit, but according to the Independent, the bank bailout was aruond 850 billion, and the total deficit sands (including public sector pension liabilities) at around £4 trillion. My point is: over the last 13 years Labour (and heck, I even voted for them in 1997) have openly advertised how much they were "investing", and yet they said they would not raise taxes. Even IF there was no deficit to create a million public sector jobs.. contd
@seekyefirst ..you would still have to argue how the government could possibly spend the workers' money for them, better and more efficiently, and more effectively, than the people could themselves.
@saundersDave11 The Conservative budget has completely failed to acknowledge the genuine hardship that millions of people in this country are now facing.
“The Budget speech did not make a single mention of people in poverty, or of the huge cuts which are about to affect the benefits system.
“The Government has not kept its promise to protect the poorest and most vulnerable from the impact of its spending cuts.
The people are not getting a fair deal with this government!
@saundersDave11 “There were no measures to protect people in poverty, and no serious commitment to make wealthy individuals or corporations pay a fairer share of the cost of reducing the deficit.”
Family Action was equally scathing in its response to the Budget, saying that the measures would not help families.
Conservatives George Osborne is clearly not a family man. We need a fair family stabiliser, not just a fair fuel stabiliser.
@seekyefirst Clearly the best way to lift people out of poverty is employment, and yet the last Labour govt (like every other Labour govt) left office with higher unemployment than when they came in. The minimum wage is largely to blame for the record youth unemployment we currently have.
@saundersDave11 A typical insensitive conservative question. Listen, I don't know your background or what kind of knowledge you have of poor suburban communities however there is already an extreme lack of money. This government only adds to their scarcity and lack of funds.
@seekyefirst I'm a youth worker. I work in an inner-London borough (Haringey) which has failed these young people, but not as much as the Minimum Wage has failed them. If you set a standard wage-level higher than what inexperienced and disadvantaged workers can reach, they have no chance of finding employment. Rather than being an "achievement" it simply takes away the bargaining tool that disadvantaged people previously had- the power to undercut other potential employees, and to compete.
@saundersDave11 There is so much about the conservative government you don't address. I could debate the facet you just focused on, however I honestly have not got the time to trek to and fro to youtube each day to reply. You support the conservative government which is fine, yet like many I Do Not. For now I i'll let the politicians argue it out at the commons. When the next election comes about I'll be voting Labour - thats all.
@seekyefirst My point mainly is, despite knowing that every previous Labour government has left office with higher unemployment and more debt, I still voted for them in 1997, hoping that this time things would be different with them. They historically have always failed to grasp economics and yet, even previous Labour governments did not try to implement a minimum wage- even they knew it's not as easy as this. Anyway, i wish you an enjoyable weekend too.

@seekyefirst the bankers were partly responcable for the debt.labour had 13 years to curb them but they were to bissy hideing the mountain of debts they left be hind for us.during some of the best years this country ever had money wise labour aloud our debts to spirell out of contole.now we are all paying the price for there incompetance.
David Cameron is amazing... I didn't think it was possible for a PM to be twice as USELESS as Gordon Brown but you sir have excelled yourself in incompetence and lies. Congratulations for failing the country in such a short time....
"They blame the bankers, the recession, the global downturn - everyone and anyone - except themselves." Well... Was it Gordon Brown's fault for spending money on Public Services that caused the deepest recession since the 1930's? Well? No it wasn't. As for the Banks, well we know that is true. The Conservative Party are fighting against new Regulation from the EU and don't want to regulate the Banks. Oh and your changing tax law for Banks so they can use loopholes to avoid more tax.
The Conservative Party in Britain is not conservative (and I accentuate the small-c). It is a repugnant, plutocratic, reprehensible purveyor of class privilege. It is disgusting and vile. I abhor Cameron. For true conservatives, you would do well to emulate the Republicans in the USA. The British Conservatives are so myopic and diabolic, evident in this video, that they apportion blame to the Labour Party for something out of their control. I dislike the Labour Party, but this is falsification.
@redfiredragonslayer I don't think copying such a backwards and ignorant party would be positive for the UK. Would you prefer Sarah Palin to be in charge of the nation? I think not.
@lukesixtynineuk I'm afraid it wasn't Capitalism which caused the collapse, it was Socialism - Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae owe their demise to Clinton era legislation which forced lenders to give money to people who couldn't repay their debts.
Yes I am a mental patient. They kept wanting me to pay out of my benifits to take psychiatric nurses abroad for their holidays. I do not want to get skin cancer sizzling like a sausage on a foriegn beach thank you. I like England. People should spend there money here. Whats wrong with Blackpool? It's a wonderful tourist resort.
@omgitshardtofindID I'm not entirely sure you know what a deficit is. Its the difference between tax revenue and spending. So, when the banks run into trouble, they don't pay as much tax, as they don't have as much money themselves. Hence, the deficit begins.
Like I say, Labour weren't the ones that left the cuts. And the recent shrink in the economy shows that these cuts are not working.
Before you give me the lame 'The snow' argument, even without the snow, the economy would have been flat.
The cuts are designed to eradicat the structural deficit, that's the deficit that's still there even with GDP growth. Even during the boom years Labour ran a deficit. Common sense dictates that when you are doing well for yourself you should maybe treat yourself a little but concetrate on saving away for a rainy day. Instead Labour spent, spent some more, then spent some more, only they spent it on the state sector which generates zero hard cash for the treasury.
The tax paid by banks didn't cause this crisis, their reduction in corporation tax payments is merely a drop in a debt filled ocean. Their dubious lending policies resulted in a huge number of bad debts which ultimately lead to a number of banks needing government support to survive.
Labour had already admitted that it was going to make severe cuts before they left office, it was their economic incompetence that caused this. The conservatives left a surplus in 1997.
Economic growth does not necessarily equal a reduction in the deficit. The government could go on a multi £billion spending spree on infrastructure, the economy would grow but ultimately we would just be getting further into the shit. People argue about the cuts when we are currently spending more on debt interest than we are on defence, what a waste of our money. Even before the banking crisis we were racking up £30-£40 billion a year in debt, nice one Labour.
this video is so true, poeple are blind as to what the conservatives have to deal with. Chavs complain that their EMA is being stopped, as they will have less money to spend on computer games.
@05u16hep Some people need EMA, it may not have occurred to you but some people have disabilities and can't work to get money, how are they meant to earn money to go to university. Typical conservative, leave the poor and disabled, survival of the fittest.
The Tory legacy is already clear- No major NHS restructuring-lies, no plans to get rid of ema- lies, tuition fees-lies, no rise in VAT-lies, we're going to sort out the banks-lies. So far you've made so many broken promises that it's hard to take you seriously. Call a general election and get a proper mandate to govern this country, cowardly dogs that you are, the doctrine of the mandate stretches only so far
@omgitshardtofindID nobody makes a living out of being unemployed.would you go to work for nothing everyweek because thats the reality of what a lot of people on benefits face the jobs are that low payed that after they have payed all their living costs they are left with nothing and thats soul destroying the truth is the present system requires a massive underclass.all three partys are guilty of maintaining the status quo and keeping people on benefits
No money, No higher education, Riots, Higher VAT, Ideological attacks on british society, an Elitist Government, a Coalition of hypocrasy. This is the Conservatives Legacy
@omgitshardtofindID ...... A hard working lawyer is particularly offended by an idle chav; and a hard working road sweeper is naturally intolerant of the licentious luxury of Wayne Rooney and his Wag. The vast majority of our huge army of reserve labour did not volunteer; they were conscripted. Demonisation of the working class jobless is originating from the upper class Tory Toffs!
@omgitshardtofindID Referring to the unemployed as lazy is a class issue! The fact is Tory Boy, there are idle poor and idle rich. If the busy rich watched and slagged off the idle rich, all would be alright; and if the busy poor watched and slagged off the Jeremy Kyle merchants, that too would be OK. But each class has a tendency to look for faults in the other.....
@gangstamillion You mean: Roll over, be English, go to the pub and moan. You may be ready to tamely submit to the demands of the Old Etonians, but not me. Some fucking gangster you are!
@surreydockskodyerrus And the last Labour government wasn't similar to the old Etonians in any way shape or form? I stand for Britain above everything else and the economy is essesntial to it
@omgitshardtofindID No I cannot explain the 'process of nuclear fission and the dangers of neutron radiation' because I am a Train driver and not a nuclear fucking scientist. Unlike you Tory Boy, I refuse to comment on any subject if I am not qualified to do so. It is obvious to all that you don`t know your arse from your elbow; as you keep contradicting yourself. Are you in favour of the railways or not? The London Underground uses the fourth rail system and not the third.
@omgitshardtofindID The railways were built for the British ruling classes; not for India. They were built to cut military costs and to reduce the cost of extracting cotton and other raw materials from their rightful owners. If you were to think before you write, your thoughts would not bypass your brain and emerge from your arse. Your comments are not being taken out of context, they`re being contradicted. Keep it coming Tory Boy!
@surreydockskodyerrus the railways were built to move people, army and trade. If the railways were built 'for the ruling class' then the people wouldn't have been allowed to use them. They were. It changed people's lives. Yes, it was used to move the army and for Govt. purposes. But also for pilgrimage and holidays and work and food distribution (yes, the British introduced crops, irrigation and food distribution systems). Don't be so paranoid and simplistic
@carlitox472 Are you naive enough to believe that the British built the railways in India so that the workers could go on holiday? Would the English ruling class have commissioned them if India was not in possession of vast amounts of raw materials?
@surreydockskodyerrus first of all - Indians built the railways. They were built by private investors in order to make money. They hauled goods and people. Did they move troops? Yes. Did they take third class passengers to pilgrimage sites - cheaply and quickly? Yes. 32/42 lines were built and owned by Indian Prince's. A variety of different motives, benefits and costs. You sound naive and bitter to me
@carlitox472 The Indian railways were indeed built to make money. If there was not an abundance of spices, tea, cotton and other raw materials in India, what year do you think that the building of the railways would`ve commenced? Would the philanthropic British have provided the vast amounts of capital to carry third-class passengers to their holiday destinations? Who in India took holidays in the 1840s? Your arguments are as convincing as, Tory Boy's!
@surreydockskodyerrus all railways were built to make money! Private investors (mostly Indian princes) provided the capital. The poor used the railways to earn money as peddlers, to move to the city and to take pilgrimages - which was a religious commandment. Your argument could be applied to any country. Just because something can generate profit doesn't make it evil. BTW the standard 'anti-railway' argument in India isn't goods exploitation but military control (the lines ended at army bases)
@carlitox472 Absolutely. If India had not have been so rich in Cotton, Silk, Tea, Spices, rubber, opium and other such commodities; I very much doubt that the British would've added India to her Empire, let alone build the railways. The British built the railways in order to plunder India and to mobilize its troops.
@carlitox472 The British Parliament created the Guarantee system, whereby any British company that constructed railways in India, was guaranteed a certain rate of interest on their capital investment. This guarantee was underwritten by the East India Company. It was bankers, traders, shipping companies and others who had a strong interest in seeing the railway built in India. Indian Princes Indeed!
@surreydockskodyerrus I think there was a mix of motives, as in anything. There were benefits to it for the people and business. I think it was good. It wasn't extractive like in Africa where the lines went from the production centres (plantations and mines) straight to the coast without any passenger structure. The backers where mostly Indian princes 32/43. But, the Indian princes were the worst exploiters - same as today (the new barons). Mobilising troops is the standard argument.
@surreydockskodyerrus Yeah, things were much better before when India was one big Socialist utopia.
Oh wait, actually it was a collection of disparate autocracies rife with misogyny, religious sectarianism and ethnic hatreds, most of which owed their allegiance to a Muslim despot in the Taj Mahal, and which were governed by a brutal caste system which made (makes) all the whinging about "class" in Britain look like a bad joke.
@omgitshardtofindID As the Thatcher government was flushing 200 years of manufacturing industry down the bog, India and China were investing in theirs. The Indian economy has grown because of its industry and not because of its lack of welfare. It has also taken advantage of Industrial competition and the cheapness of wage labour. You`re a typical Tory who would like to see the conditions of the British working class reduced to the extreme poverty that we see in India.
@surreydockskodyerrus India and China still recieve aid from us and many other countries. The British manufacturing industry wasnt working. You cant make a product year after year at a loss and even then they were low quality and expensive.
@omgitshardtofindID The Lazy! The Lazy! The Lazy! The thritflessness of the Lazy! The idleness of the Lazy! The intemperance of the Lazy! How long do we have to listen to this Tory boy garbage? How long do we have to hear these pillocks prate about those who are unable to work? Be honest Tory boy, you are of course referring to a fictional character as featured in the Daily Mail and not someone you know personally.
@omgitshardtofindID In order for an electric train to run, it needs to draw an electric current. This is done by drawing a current of between 750V-1000DC via a third-rail system, or alternatively the train can draw a current of 25,000AC via overhead cables. Using the third-rail system, the DC current is drawn through collector shoes and then converted into AC by the use of an on-train equipment. Keep it coming Tory Boy; you`re about as convincing as the condem coalition.
@omgitshardtofindID - You may be correct - some people would be better off - however, others won't. Forcing a situation could make the depression worse & even lead to suicide. Are you sure it's just depression - there could be OCD/autism in the mix from what you've said. The trouble anyway is that there simply aren't the opportunities. Most employers don't want 'problem' people, especially now as there is so many unemployed to choose from. And then there is the issue of exploitation.
@omgitshardtofindID - furthermore, clearly sick people were being thrown off of benefits long before this current round. The behaviour of the DWP and ATOS (the private co. running this travesty) is reprehensible. I personally know someone bi-polar, who had a nervous breakdown, disappeared and could have died, and was in the end committed to a psychiatric hospital for months as a result of failing his medical. And this is one of many examples - these are not medicals but 'show trials.'
@omgitshardtofindID - as for the issue of sickness - it has little to do with weedling out false claimants. The government is aware of the hostility, however vile, that exists amongst the population towards welfare, and endlessly uses benefit fraud as a method for defaming and alienating all benefits recipients because such taints everyone by association. Sadly, it is basic human nature, and they even have research telling them of this. And have persued this agenda anyway.
@omgitshardtofindID - I'm not sure that I'm the one needing help with economics - in fact I suspect that it is the Chancellor requiring this assistance. The cutbacks are pointless and are beginning to do exactly what I thought they would, which is to drive down the economy. Whatever the solution is to the debt, it is not cutbacks which will have a miniscule effect on the deficit whilst further damaging public services + welfare and other cuts which will cause misery & growing social unrest
Face it, this recession was bad beacsue of labour, rich-poor difference rose because of labour, everyone is in debt because of labour, we have an unsuitable, unrealistic economy because of labour. Our country is going down the drain in this world because of labour. Vote for a party that is different, vote for a party that disagrees with tuition fees and wants to remove us from the diabolical EU. A party that believes every Brit is equal regardless of religion or race or wealth. VOTE UKIP
@omgitshardtofindID IMO, there's two kinds of 'rich' - the 'x is rich because they offered a useful service to society' and rich because 'I'm a banker - I destroyed the economy but it doesn't harm me in the slightest'. The latter are rich from exploiting people. And yes, they SHOULD pay because of their 'success'
@TheProjectMusicUK I would recommend that you watch Britain's trillion pound horror story on 4oD so that you can appreciate the mess we have been left in, and so that you can appreciate why cuts are needed. The cuts that have already been made or that are planed are only a drop in the ocean compared to the cuts required in the public sector. Please can I ask how are you contributing to this country's economy?
@felinrheinallt Why are we looking at the deficit in terms of money? It should be in terms of percentage. If we look at it like that, our war debt was much bigger. Did we cut after the war? No - we set up the NHS.
@samcheese34 I wonder who needs the education here... bigger infrastructure comes from a bigger population fair enough but likewise there is a much bigger population to support it. You can't possibly be justifying the very high taxes we have in the UK, surely!! Have you ever looked at the vast wastage of public money?
@ken4uk Anyone who's ever looked at a government will have looked at a vast wastage of public money. But if you think this country could run on 10% flat rate tax then you're a madman.
The Labour Party sounds exactly like the Democratic Party in the US, they too are in complete denial about their legacy and in fact they lost the house in the recent midterm elections due to their big spending government agenda!
If the Tories had stopped the incompetent John Major, Kenneth Clarke, Hurd, Heseltine and Lamont from ruining mortgage payers and small businesses with colossal interest rate hikes in the ERM fiasco there would never have been Black Wednesday and a Labour landslide. It was the Conservative’s legacy that gave Britain a thirteen year Labour borrowing binge.
Furthermore, the pathetic deficit tax put on the banks, which when you consider the lowering of corporate taxes will actually leave them better off. The failing HM Revenue which is going persue the average person to death over tax hiccups they mostly created, whilst recently - under the guidance of George 'Slugborn' - they excused Vodaphone £6 Billion in unpaid taxes! Ensuring that universities once again return to being a privilege of the wealthy... Still support these people? Sick.
@ravingthundergod Labour have a rich history of fucking the economy up only for the conservatives to fix it, whether it be 1951, 1979 or 2010. That is why people support them. Are you one of those socialists that is still in denial about the deficits and debt?
@bonfirejovi - the conservatives 'fix the economy?' For whom exactly? Having the wages of half a million people, not to mention the disapearance of the jobs themselves vanish is hardly going to help the economy. Added to which, the cut in benefits for the long term ill and the rest, apart from being a moral and ethical disgrace, is even more money vanishing. As for people supporting them - did you actually pay attention to the outcome of the last election?
@bonfirejovi Furthermore - And now the tories want to exploit the unemployed that they have helped create by forcing them to do community work that should be carried out by paid employees. Not to mention corporations giving people so called work experience, for their benefits, with no intention of employing them. Outrageous exploitation. You seem to be in denial that the Tories are anything other than the greedy, unprincipled opportunistic parasites that they are and always have been.
The people on here who voted and still support the Tory's - please report immediately to the nearest psychiatric care facility (if there are any left). Why? Cutbacks which will cause an added 1 million unemployed. A harsh reduction of benefits which will drive some people to suicide, not to mention doomed & moronic plans to push the sick into work when most employers dont want them, and there simply aren't the vacancies. Then, the damage that all of this will cause to the economy - TBC
5 million unemployed. 12% deficit. Record debt. Biggest cuts in university history. Old labour, unemployment Brown, tried to destroy the UK and basically did it. Blair was new labour and his some of his ;policies were good.
Go watch this video on YT : Paul Twivy, CEO of The Big Society Network
This guy lets the cat out of the bag ( 3min 51 secs in ) when he says,"...watching their kids play safely in a street as a social space, not a transport system.."
@JoeGitface very much doubr they will get rid of cars currently they are stretched out as far as 2025 and beyond although there will be demands for new infrastructure!, with advances in tunneling expertise's it would make sence to put alot of our roads especially unsafe polluted ones underground which would free up alot of space for housing , farming and make it safer for children to play too
Labour did some good. But I hate them. They've caused so much sadness for my family that it breaks my heart. Not only that but because of Labour we're going to have to go through a lot of crap in the next few years. I can't believe any Labour supporter would deny what their party have done. If they did, if any of you do, you're ignorant. Face it, they failed. I hope the new gov will restore us. Oh Labour! You used to be such a GOOD party!! As Victoria once said, REVENGE, REVENGE!
absulute ballshit i am a hardcore labour supporter and what you are saying is not true. labours legecy is more than what you torys think. you are just to scard to face the fact that labour is for the better and not for the worse! i rest my case!
Labours legacy is also the Tories legacy. The Conservatives contrariness to leave the ERM cost hundreds of thousands of mortgage payers their homes when they could not keep up with the huge interest payments forced on them by John Major , Kenneth Clarke , Douglas Hurd, Heseltine and their sidekick Norman Lamont. Businesses went bust left right and centre. The pound crashed out of the ERM and New Labour were in with a landslide. The Tories have never had a majority since.
The Conservatives contempt for mortgage payers and small businesses gave the Tories their nasty party reputation during the 1990s when Kenneth Clarke told John Major to keep putting interest rates up and up and up.
@makedoandmend2 Yep, thats what they did... they wanted to attack home owners, by encoragingn home ownership lol. So when labour won power why did they attack home owners by ending tax relife on mortages? oh yeah, because any attempt to look after your own future is treated with contempt. Either you are an idiot or you know black wednesday was protecting the pound. Nasty party my arse, realists yes.
Yes, Black Wednesday was about protecting the pound, that's why it failed so badly and cost the tax payer BILLIONS. Good thinking, genius.
Hahahaha yes, "encouraging home ownership", by selling off the public housing, and then ceasing construction of NEW cheap, public homes, another great idea. Now let's see if you have the basic modicum of intelligence to realise what that did to house prices. Really, what planet do you live on?
@ContemptForYou You are not all wrong. But Labour had thirteen years to change that. They did not. Now darling Blair is a very rich man and maneuvers himself in circles you would not even understand. All that off the Labour voters back. Whatever you are; labour, conservative, lib dem you cannot deny that a change is needed.You cannot deny that our country is in a bad situation and we need to work together to get out of it. That is a fact. ANON.
Thanks. That's because you're really referring to NuLabour. Blair & Brown were conservatives, and a continuation of Thatcherism. That really should have been apparent by now.
The circles that former PMs now consort with are well documented; you'd really have to have been very naive to presume Blair wouldn't try to make some money out of it.
Nobody said that a change wasn't needed. The point is that to think that the Lib-Con coalition will provide that change, is pure lunacy.
@omgitshardtofindanid If you were not so ignorant you would see that it was the Tory ERM policy of keeping the pound valued at a ludicrously unsustainable level that caused it to crash. City speculators such as George Sorros made millions because of Conservative contrariness. John Major , Kenneth Clarke, Hurd and Heseltine’s incompetence gave Labour thirteen years in power to go on a massive borrowing binge.
With the cuts i will predict that there will be scenes on the streets very similar to those in Greece in not too much time, you cannot make such cuts, while increasing VAT without expecting there to be riots.
I voted for Lib Dems, and quite frankly i feel as though i have been sold down the river. They went on and on about NO CUTS. It makes no fecking sense we are coming out of the worst recession since wartime. And making cuts?
And my money is on in another 20 years, another reccesion.
@rorrt Have you worked out the interest on hundreds of billions of pounds? People hate how much we spent on the eurofighter project, yet we are set to spend double that, per year, in interest payments alone. Anyone that has taken out finance knows that you can get to a point when you are in trouble and are seen as a risky investment. It happens when you over borrow to the point of a budget deficit, without trying to pay it back
Shameron why the fuck do you insist on treating everybody like they were born yesterday. People remember crumbling schools and strangled NHS born of Tory underfunding and complete mismanagement throughout the 80's and 90's, I am no Labour cheerleader by any means but the precious, petulant bury head in the sand attitude like you sham really grinds my gears. Global downturn has caused a recessions here and abroad, America looks like it is going slip back into recession again, learn from it!

The tories sold almost everything off, gas,trains etc prices rise,thanks to them,closed pits in the north,sold off so many council houses without new builds,there is now a massive shortage! less help for single mothers,they kick out people from affluent areas to create slum lands,and now trying force the terminally ill to take a job or loose there home.Never in a million years would I vote for such evil!

@seekyefirst I'm a youth worker. I work in an inner-London borough (Haringey) which has failed these young people, but not as much as the Minimum Wage has failed them. If you set a standard wage-level higher than what inexperienced and disadvantaged workers can reach, they have no chance of finding employment. Rather than being an "achievement" it simply takes away the bargaining tool that disadvantaged people previously had- the power to undercut other potential employees, and to compete.

@omgitshardtofindID I'm not entirely sure you know what a deficit is. Its the difference between tax revenue and spending. So, when the banks run into trouble, they don't pay as much tax, as they don't have as much money themselves. Hence, the deficit begins.
Like I say, Labour weren't the ones that left the cuts. And the recent shrink in the economy shows that these cuts are not working.
Before you give me the lame 'The snow' argument, even without the snow, the economy would have been flat.

@TheProjectMusicUK
The cuts are designed to eradicat the structural deficit, that's the deficit that's still there even with GDP growth. Even during the boom years Labour ran a deficit. Common sense dictates that when you are doing well for yourself you should maybe treat yourself a little but concetrate on saving away for a rainy day. Instead Labour spent, spent some more, then spent some more, only they spent it on the state sector which generates zero hard cash for the treasury.

The tax paid by banks didn't cause this crisis, their reduction in corporation tax payments is merely a drop in a debt filled ocean. Their dubious lending policies resulted in a huge number of bad debts which ultimately lead to a number of banks needing government support to survive.
Labour had already admitted that it was going to make severe cuts before they left office, it was their economic incompetence that caused this. The conservatives left a surplus in 1997.

Economic growth does not necessarily equal a reduction in the deficit.

@surreydockskodyerrus first of all - Indians built the railways. They were built by private investors in order to make money. They hauled goods and people. Did they move troops? Yes.

Your arguments are as convincing as, Tory Boy's!

@surreydockskodyerrus all railways were built to make money! Private investors (mostly Indian princes) provided the capital. The poor used the railways to earn money as peddlers, to move to the city and to take pilgrimages - which was a religious commandment. Your argument could be applied to any country. Just because something can generate profit doesn't make it evil. BTW the standard 'anti-railway' argument in India isn't goods exploitation but military control (the lines ended at army bases)

@carlitox472 Absolutely. If India had not have been so rich in Cotton, Silk, Tea, Spices, rubber, opium and other such commodities; I very much doubt that the British would've added India to her Empire, let alone build the railways. The British built the railways in order to plunder India and to mobilize its troops.
surreydockskodyerrus 1 year ago
@carlitox472 The British Parliament created the Guarantee system, whereby any British company that constructed railways in India, was guaranteed a certain rate of interest on their capital investment. This guarantee was underwritten by the East India Company. It was bankers, traders, shipping companies and others who had a strong interest in seeing the railway built in India. Indian Princes Indeed!

@surreydockskodyerrus I think there was a mix of motives, as in anything. There were benefits to it for the people and business. I think it was good. It wasn't extractive like in Africa where the lines went from the production centres (plantations and mines) straight to the coast without any passenger structure. The backers where mostly Indian princes 32/43. But, the Indian princes were the worst exploiters - same as today (the new barons). Mobilising troops is the standard argument.

This is done by drawing a current of between 750V-1000DC via a third-rail system, or alternatively the train can draw a current of 25,000AC via overhead cables. Using the third-rail system, the DC current is drawn through collector shoes and then converted into AC by the use of an on-train equipment. Keep it coming Tory Boy; you`re about as convincing as the condem coalition.

@omgitshardtofindID - You may be correct - some people would be better off - however, others won't. Forcing a situation could make the depression worse & even lead to suicide. Are you sure it's just depression - there could be OCD/autism in the mix from what you've said. The trouble anyway is that there simply aren't the opportunities. Most employers don't want 'problem' people, especially now as there is so many unemployed to choose from. And then there is the issue of exploitation.

@omgitshardtofindID - furthermore, clearly sick people were being thrown off of benefits long before this current round. The behaviour of the DWP and ATOS (the private co. running this travesty) is reprehensible. I personally know someone bi-polar, who had a nervous breakdown, disappeared and could have died, and was in the end committed to a psychiatric hospital for months as a result of failing his medical. And this is one of many examples - these are not medicals but 'show trials.'

@omgitshardtofindID - as for the issue of sickness - it has little to do with weedling out false claimants. The government is aware of the hostility, however vile, that exists amongst the population towards welfare, and endlessly uses benefit fraud as a method for defaming and alienating all benefits recipients because such taints everyone by association. Sadly, it is basic human nature, and they even have research telling them of this. And have persued this agenda anyway.

@omgitshardtofindID - I'm not sure that I'm the one needing help with economics - in fact I suspect that it is the Chancellor requiring this assistance. The cutbacks are pointless and are beginning to do exactly what I thought they would, which is to drive down the economy. Whatever the solution is to the debt, it is not cutbacks which will have a miniscule effect on the deficit whilst further damaging public services + welfare and other cuts which will cause misery & growing social unrest

Face it, this recession was bad beacsue of labour, rich-poor difference rose because of labour, everyone is in debt because of labour, we have an unsuitable, unrealistic economy because of labour. Our country is going down the drain in this world because of labour. Vote for a party that is different, vote for a party that disagrees with tuition fees and wants to remove us from the diabolical EU. A party that believes every Brit is equal regardless of religion or race or wealth. VOTE UKIP

@omgitshardtofindID IMO, there's two kinds of 'rich' - the 'x is rich because they offered a useful service to society' and rich because 'I'm a banker - I destroyed the economy but it doesn't harm me in the slightest'. The latter are rich from exploiting people. And yes, they SHOULD pay because of their 'success'

@TheProjectMusicUK I would recommend that you watch Britain's trillion pound horror story on 4oD so that you can appreciate the mess we have been left in, and so that you can appreciate why cuts are needed. The cuts that have already been made or that are planed are only a drop in the ocean compared to the cuts required in the public sector. Please can I ask how are you contributing to this country's economy?
felinrheinallt 1 year ago
@felinrheinallt Why are we looking at the deficit in terms of money? It should be in terms of percentage. If we look at it like that, our war debt was much bigger. Did we cut after the war? No - we set up the NHS.

If the Tories had stopped the incompetent John Major, Kenneth Clarke, Hurd, Heseltine and Lamont from ruining mortgage payers and small businesses with colossal interest rate hikes in the ERM fiasco there would never have been Black Wednesday and a Labour landslide. It was the Conservative’s legacy that gave Britain a thirteen year Labour borrowing binge.

Furthermore, the pathetic deficit tax put on the banks, which when you consider the lowering of corporate taxes will actually leave them better off. The failing HM Revenue which is going persue the average person to death over tax hiccups they mostly created, whilst recently - under the guidance of George 'Slugborn' - they excused Vodaphone £6 Billion in unpaid taxes! Ensuring that universities once again return to being a privilege of the wealthy... Still support these people? Sick.

@ravingthundergod Labour have a rich history of fucking the economy up only for the conservatives to fix it, whether it be 1951, 1979 or 2010. That is why people support them. Are you one of those socialists that is still in denial about the deficits and debt?
bonfirejovi 1 year ago
@bonfirejovi - the conservatives 'fix the economy?' For whom exactly? Having the wages of half a million people, not to mention the disapearance of the jobs themselves vanish is hardly going to help the economy. Added to which, the cut in benefits for the long term ill and the rest, apart from being a moral and ethical disgrace, is even more money vanishing. As for people supporting them - did you actually pay attention to the outcome of the last election?
ravingthundergod 1 year ago
@bonfirejovi Furthermore - And now the tories want to exploit the unemployed that they have helped create by forcing them to do community work that should be carried out by paid employees. Not to mention corporations giving people so called work experience, for their benefits, with no intention of employing them. Outrageous exploitation. You seem to be in denial that the Tories are anything other than the greedy, unprincipled opportunistic parasites that they are and always have been.

The people on here who voted and still support the Tory's - please report immediately to the nearest psychiatric care facility (if there are any left). Why? Cutbacks which will cause an added 1 million unemployed. A harsh reduction of benefits which will drive some people to suicide, not to mention doomed & moronic plans to push the sick into work when most employers dont want them, and there simply aren't the vacancies. Then, the damage that all of this will cause to the economy - TBC

Labour did some good. But I hate them. They've caused so much sadness for my family that it breaks my heart. Not only that but because of Labour we're going to have to go through a lot of crap in the next few years. I can't believe any Labour supporter would deny what their party have done. If they did, if any of you do, you're ignorant. Face it, they failed. I hope the new gov will restore us. Oh Labour! You used to be such a GOOD party!! As Victoria once said, REVENGE, REVENGE!

Labours legacy is also the Tories legacy. The Conservatives contrariness to leave the ERM cost hundreds of thousands of mortgage payers their homes when they could not keep up with the huge interest payments forced on them by John Major , Kenneth Clarke , Douglas Hurd, Heseltine and their sidekick Norman Lamont. Businesses went bust left right and centre. The pound crashed out of the ERM and New Labour were in with a landslide. The Tories have never had a majority since.

The Conservatives contempt for mortgage payers and small businesses gave the Tories their nasty party reputation during the 1990s when Kenneth Clarke told John Major to keep putting interest rates up and up and up.

Yes, Black Wednesday was about protecting the pound, that's why it failed so badly and cost the tax payer BILLIONS. Good thinking, genius.
Hahahaha yes, "encouraging home ownership", by selling off the public housing, and then ceasing construction of NEW cheap, public homes, another great idea. Now let's see if you have the basic modicum of intelligence to realise what that did to house prices. Really, what planet do you live on?

Thanks. That's because you're really referring to NuLabour. Blair & Brown were conservatives, and a continuation of Thatcherism. That really should have been apparent by now.
The circles that former PMs now consort with are well documented; you'd really have to have been very naive to presume Blair wouldn't try to make some money out of it.
Nobody said that a change wasn't needed. The point is that to think that the Lib-Con coalition will provide that change, is pure lunacy.

@omgitshardtofindanid If you were not so ignorant you would see that it was the Tory ERM policy of keeping the pound valued at a ludicrously unsustainable level that caused it to crash. City speculators such as George Sorros made millions because of Conservative contrariness. John Major , Kenneth Clarke, Hurd and Heseltine’s incompetence gave Labour thirteen years in power to go on a massive borrowing binge.

@rorrt Have you worked out the interest on hundreds of billions of pounds? People hate how much we spent on the eurofighter project, yet we are set to spend double that, per year, in interest payments alone. Anyone that has taken out finance knows that you can get to a point when you are in trouble and are seen as a risky investment. It happens when you over borrow to the point of a budget deficit, without trying to pay it back
