[harrylimps]

We Need a tough government that will turn around and say: kick all illegal workers out. all 100% proven rapist, child molesters, serial killers and large scale drug dealers will be euthanized. clean out all these dirty council estates, and every thing of worth in a convicted drug dealer, gun dealer, human trafficking networks that include cars, televisions, game consoles and other electronic items should be seized and sold at special auctions to create money to pay to prisons and rehabilitation.

cuts in public sector will have zero effect on a recovery, the man is a flipping lunatic.....

growth is stimulated by low taxes and small government nothing else.....

I propose a change to the voting system, based on intelligence and mental health. I feel if you are either to thick or retarded to to vote your right should be taken away. I feel the easiest way to establish the voters intelligence and mental health being passable would be to check if they vote for Labour, if they did they are clearly thick as pig shit or not compos mentis so there vote should be discluded.

How the hell does this bloke get up in the morning and concider himself an important person that should be listened too.

What a complete thunderbird looking parrot faced wazuk!!

[binky4647]

A quarter of all revenue comes from financial service industry , WTF.

Paper shufflers in suits, when a country is realying on ponzi schemes only one thing can happen.

No one makes things anymore , all gone.

Oh for sure Alistair, private investors are just scrambling to throw mountains of cash at setting up new businesses in the UK. Start looking for work...´cos after May 6 you will be unemployed mate! In reality you will be sitting on the shadow benches, but you "should" be unemployed!

This is the guy who printed an extra 200 billion pounds and then said he didn't expect inflation to rise.

good grief.

[dikkydoo1]

it wont rise, the money didnt get into circulation and hence wasnt inflationary.

[liarpoliticians]

The bank rules have been changed, so now the UK banks HAVE to buy government debt as part of their portfolios. Well, this debt is dragging the banks down, so they're not lending so much any more, why would they, they just bought a load of second rate New Labour debt.

The UK is flat broke, let's spend £18bn on ID cards, £20bn Olympics, £10bn on new internet spy network etc. etc..

Very clever!

[dikkydoo1]

i never knew that, thanks, if banks wont lend = deflation.

[loveEUROPEhateEU]

What fucking deluded half wits even vote for Labour... The people out there thick enough to do so, should be locked away, clearly a danger to the people of this once great country.

Bigger debt is different to bigger deficit
