George Osborne: video profile

[mariafreddiebeccamur]

i would,

[Natacha2062]

I am totally agreed with some of the comments. Some of the wages too much high !!! Many people in the UK are working as a translators from Russian to English and they got £30-60 per hour !!!! Like a doctor in a hospital !!!! Its a far too much for the translators !!! And also too many of them in the country !!!

[2010butchd]

@Natacha2062 yes i went in the job centre looking for work there was only translator jobs at 30 pounds per hour in the todays jobs non for an english person though

[aecoulson]

George Osborne - a stronger chancellor than Alistair Eyebrows Darling, Gordon Gekko, (possibly) Kenneth Suede Clarke, Norman Black Wed Lamont, Nigel Reagonomics Lawson, Geoffrey Maynard Howe, Denis Mark I Healey, Anthony Barber Boom, Iain Kipper Macleod, Roy Tory Jenkins, James Turmoil Callaghan, Reginald Old Cock Maudling, Selwyn Long Knives Loyd, Bachelor Derick Heathcoat-Amory the unmarried, Peter Thorneycroft of Little Local Difficulties, etc.

[Willdude208]

Ahh Gideon, old chap. You're a t***

[LikableDesi]

WOW! even when he's trying not to be a dick hes a dick

[sail1948]

Gideon old son, come down to my neck of the woods, theres one or two people would like to talk to you up close and personal.

[MrColaboy74]

He is a filthy sleazy,slimey looking snake, and Osborne, like Cameron, has never had to do a hard day's graft in his life, with his Eaton boy lifestyle, him and his party of rich pricks, have NO concept whatsoever of poverty, look at the mess they have made since forming the coalition, the country is in dire straits, vat up,huge job losses, benefits slashed, h/b slashed, fuel all-time highs,child trust fund and maternity grants scrapped, raised work hours to get w/t credit,bring back Labour.

[NLWK110710]

Can't stand this guy, how fake could you possibly be, how about you guys?

[bullysgod]

Osborne says the cuts are needed to put britain back on track --but they are idealogical measures and he takes great pleasure in making the rich richer and the poor poorer--typical tory--always detested them --always will

[xArmagideonTime]

George, you have a face that's SCREAMING 'I need to be punched'

[andlookmore]

THE TORIES HAVE JUST LET VODAFONE OFF WITH £6 BILLION IN TAXES!!!!

For more info check out Private Eye article "BRITAIN’S £6BN VODAFONE BILL"

This is tax evasion and corruption at the highest levels!!

[ToaJoe]

@andlookmore They don't care about tax avoidance. After all, their party only manages to win elections thanks to that criminal called Lord ashcroft.

[quinnolivia]

that is the cheesiest thing i have ever watched i do like george but this was crap

[TheJameszac]

George Osborne has put his £millions in his wifes name and banks in the Cayman islands.. He,s a crook like most of the government,, they are out to line ther own (and friends) pockets.

[Natacha2062]

I hope the English economics will be improve! and this country deserve !!! I am sure for that if the people will not wright stupid comments about George Osborne. He wants to know your opinion and its a very good but the most of comments a very angry against him. I don't understand how people stupid are. Give your opinion to help your own country !!!!

[bolloxinator]

@Natacha2062 You sound like you're quite new to this country. You'll soon learn about the Conservative party and why people say angry things about them. If you work for a living, and you had lived through the years when they were in power before, you'd have seen your standard of living go right down the toilet.

George is a tool. He robs the poor to give to the rich. That's what Conservatives do. Now, 20 percent VAT next year, while the bankers we bailed out continue giving themselves millions.

[Natacha2062]

My name is Natasha. My suggestion to improve British economic to reduce some wages of the jobs like an interprets, translates.Its an unbelievable some have £30 per hour. Its a lot of them now so if the government think about that and act it helps a lot !

[mulefa]

Didyou manage to get the iron fist of Rothschild and Mandelson from up your arse on the famous boat trip. A complete shill and Bilderberg attendee.

[Abdikareem0]

I've read the manifesto and i don't see any plans

only constitently blaming Labour from this and that!

I will be also very suprised if the LibDems will be with a Tory Government.

[DontVoteTory]

Mr Osborne, I really don't know which economists are advising you on this brilliant strategy to increase unemployment, but feel free to give me a call. Unemployment makes voters unhappy."

Professor David Blanchflower, former member of the Bank of England's monetary policy committee....

[heelfan1234]

Vote Nick Clegg.

Proportional Representation now!!

Tories are finished.

[dancetech]

what is Obsbornes economics training/education? ZERO

what is Osbornes economics experience? ZERO

but he is a Baronet landed gentry tho. Perfect! that's what we need in the middle of a massive economics crisis - a guy with zero experience and zero training and zero education in the feild - classic!

[projectmorf]

Private school tosser just like his wife.......Mr Cameron!!

[UBUBBOO]

The Tories and Labour voted against the LibDem's when they tried to put forward new rules to clean up the Houses of Parliament, both of them voted against the LibDem's, the Tories and Labour just don't know how to tell us all the truth.

[Pepper6464]

The only reason he wants to be Chancellor is because he wants the prestige and power associated with that title. It's all about power and being better than the other man.

[jollyjohnny61]

Blah.blah,blah,blah,blah,blah,­blah,blah,blah,boring,blah,bla­h,very boring,blah,blah,blah,blah,bla­h,what do you mean have we got policies,blah,blah,blah,blah,b­lah,national debt,blah,blah,blah,cut services,blah,blah,this bloke could bore the bollocks off of Margaret Thatcher and Norman"on yer bike" Tebbit,blah,blah,blah,blah

[snakebiten]

This look like a couple of cool cats.....yeaaah.

[stradaforni51]

This guy is such a malevolent fool, he gives me loose bowels.

[Del1957z]

Be afraid...be very afraid!

[Mickmars90]

As a Conservative Party member, I am deeply ashamed that a man with no business or economics experience holds the Shadow Chancellorship. He has a second class degree in history. Brown has a history degree, and we know his Chancellorship was a fiscal disaster. I know more about economics than Osborne. He dosen't have what Denis Healey calls a 'hinterland.' He has no business experience. We need John Redwood as Chancellor.

George, resign for the good of the country and the party.

[mulefa]

What an arse your a Bilderberg and Rothschild puppet. You will only serve the ruling class and the elite in this country just like the labour party.

[vidinf4eice]

LOL I don't know whether its a glitch, but this is completely empty - no that would be George Osbourne empty, vacuous, policy-free.

Wonder if he has "Osbourne Directs" No that's Dave's thing. Hey-ho. Yawn.

[2000drpain86]

No he was right on Northern Rock Labour invested 18 billion in that bank, and ar selling the good bits off for 1.5 billion. Im not a ace in maths but thats a bad thing right. He was right about pumping up the cash flow to, the pound losing a third of its value wonder why that happened. maybe it was printing 175billion pound. Inflations a stealth tax a pitty people dont realize that.

[wyncyspyder]

apparently when osborne was at public school he was continuously submitted to the "piss bath" by his upper class peers - a typical public school humiliation ritual. no doubt this sort of activity was "character building" - or, to put it another way, enough to turn you into a twisted upper class twat

[wyncyspyder]

this guy is so inexperienced it gives me the willies

[tasem30]

AMATEUR.

[flanneryged]

This little pipsqueak GIDEON THE BARONET OSBOURNE is a upper class posh arsehole. This creep was so despised even by his friends that they hung him upside down by his Ankles from a Church Steeple.He was then made to shout out "I'm Despicable" over and over again before they would let him back up?.

This idiot knows nothing about economics every single one of his predictions has been WRONG. From not helping the Northern Rock, to the pumping up of the cash flow

[olddobbin]

we can never win with george, let ken have his old job back. don't forget ken kept down the price of beer

[guywiththerussianhat]

Bit Cheesy ;d

[saeho90]

He really does tries hard not to sound too posh . . .

or does he ?

[wheelers04]

Conservatives = Change :D

[CrashPolitics]

Ken Clarke for Shadow Chancellor!

[autofreak7]

Have you lost your mind?

[mrbeanish]

Here here!

[mrbeanish]

what a gorgeous boy

[Dendiol]

I would not trust this man for a second in charge of our fragile economy. Yes, Labour have ballsed it up big time but the Tories need to get someone with a wiser head on their shoulders as Chancellor, for example, Ken Clarke, instead of this vacuous, faux-common, ex Bullingdon toff.

[dragonlee90]

What's wrong with Osbourne?

[autofreak7]

Well I'm quite certain that Osborne'll able to benefit from Clarke's experience

[lamplighteyes]

I sick up a bit in my mouth every time I see this man's face.

[davidesugar]

lolz at the soundtrack!

[marmadukesymesparker]

He's so good-lookin'.

[RJWooller]

Is George Osborne some sort of joke? Now he is the hypocrite of the year for talking sterling down when the economy was in a much worse place when the Tories were last in power!!! I hope they never get in again!!!

[hilperton2000]

DONT VOTE TORY..........The conservatives Know what a run on the pound is................1992....ERM.­...JUST 6 months after the tories were last elected.....Leave the tories to live in there own world....let them leave us to live in the real world.............So yes george ...lets put confidence back into the economy....By teling everyone the ll be a run on the pound....All david will do is whinge and whine like a pitbull...when Brown is Taking Bold and decisive action...DONT LET TORIES IN.!!

[hugoegbert79]

And in 1992 Cameron was Special Advisor to the Chancellor. Black Wednesday and turning his back on the unemployed, the hard-pressed families, the pensioners unable to pay their fuel bills-that's Cameron's experience in government.

[baphometswrath]

P.S if George still wants to look Eastwards, I rekon he should forget about the donations malarkie and concentrate on the MMR mercury vaccinations outrage.

Hans Aspergers C.V looks odd!!

Andrew Wakefields team seems to be making East Germans and Russians sweat bigtime. And so it should....It freaks medical folk out in Germany when I start asking question about it.

Autism uk.

1979 1 in 2223

2007 1 in 100

Somethings not right...we all know it.

[baphometswrath]

P.S East Germans and "Der Russe" have almost perfected an "Art" of looking at you direct in the eye (like a friend) and lying 2u through the teeth!

What an awful trait to have been taught (by parents?!) -it´s like championing a "Lower-form-of-Humanity!"

To expats living amoungst the Russians and Germans in their land, knowing how they function" - it´s quite embarrasing.

Picture sitting opposite someone who is obviously lying, with most around the table knowing it too. It can be weird.

[baphometswrath]

I rekon Osbourne is currently "under fire" unfairly.

The left-wing-rag (Guardian) says Gerorges comments could cause a run on the pound -Thats outragerous.

Articles re the pounds current strenghts and weaknesses can be found almost everywhere in the media at present.

No suprise, the Pound has gone from 1.59 to 1.16 during the last few yrs with Labour, so to suggest its the shadows chancellors fault for recent comments is a very evil lie.

Labour is destroyed and desperate - No wonder.

[hugoegbert79]

He is pushing the theory that the govt's policies will devalue the pound through as much of the mainstream media as possible. It wasn't on the BBC headlines until he said it. What impact will that have on the pound? And for the tories to lecture us on devaluation of the £ is outrageous. 1992. Black Wednesday. The pound at it's lowest value ever. Who was Special Advisor to the chancellor at the time?

DAVID CAMERON.

Need I say more?

[Salastico7]

I don't trust him.

[CULAVE]

Cameron-Osborne/ Blair-Brown- does anyone think theres been a Granita style 'Deal'?

[CULAVE]

I have met both Osborne and Brown- useless info I know but im pissed and felt like writing it.

[06holder]

Job security?? Make People feel richer??? is this really being told to us by a conservative!!!!! how much rubbish does this man have to say before people get what he is about. How can two people who come from the same school represent a country of 60,000,000 people effectively? It is a tremendously abysmal time to be anything but a priviliged upper class twonk who think that their rights include the right to rule??? everyone see the light!!!

[dragonlee90]

His background means nothing. He didn't choose his school, his father did. People say the Tories are snobs, but it's Labour and the left that are obsessed with class. Clement Atlee went to a private school.

[06holder]

Every person should do what is best for them in respect to all aspects of their life, however extending your argument it can be said that slave owners never had a problem with slavery beacsue they were the beneficiaries. All British people have a right to representation I think that for a long time rule in this coumtry has been by a minority elite who maintain a stranglehold on any opportunities for the majority populace. We need large-scaale reform to topple this oligarchaic* system. (*made up)

[dragonlee90]

We don't have an oligarchy. David Cameron was the first Conservative in 40 years to hail from a private school! There are lots of MP's from working class backgrounds on all sides of the house. Slave owners wouldn't see a problem with their actions because of the context of the times, but we see it as wrong now, rightly so too. The only time we are ruled by a minority is when the socialists are in charge of the asylum. Socialism is an elite making everyone underneath them equally poor.

[hugoegbert79]

"Socialism is an elite making everyone underneath them equally poor." That is the most ridiculous statement you've ever made (and that's saying something). Socialism closes the gap between the rich and the poor-that's not the same as making everyone equally poor. And that staement is completely bizarre. If that's the case, then there would be no millionaires (like Cameron) in this country, everyone would be living on council estates struggling by on the minimum wage (which Cameron opposed).

[hugoegbert79]

"His background means nothing." Yes of course,the fact that someone comes from a priviledged background shouldn't be held against them but if they then go into govt with the specific intention of punishing the poor and rewarding the rich then it becomes a different matter.I think 06holder was saying that it seems highly coincidental that so many of the Tory frontbench went to the same school & the same exclusive Bullingdon club and it makes you question whether that was why they got the job.

[dragonlee90]

Name one policy of his that punishes the poor in order to benefit the rich

[hugoegbert79]

For a start he wants to cut corporation tax, as well as double the inheritance tax threshold to £1,000,000. Now that's really going to help the working single mother who's struglling to keep a roof over her head isn't it? When she inherits £950,000 she doesn't have to pay tax on it! Brilliant! a tax cut of £3bn for the richest 1000 people in the country. And the poor pay the price. Apprenticeships get cut, Surstart, child trust fund, funding cuts to education, policing, ultimately (continued)

[hugoegbert79]

*Surestart sorry, the free nursery scheme that Labour introduced to help out working parents. For people who can't afford nannies.

[dragonlee90]

But cuts in spending are very necessary, unless you want future generations to be saddled with massive tax burdens because of the stupidity of state profligacy

[hugoegbert79]

The no. of wealthy people paying inh. tax will be lower, so only the very rich will pay a rate of income tax that was devised with those who weren't as wealthy (£500grand plus) in mind. No, of course they haven't said they will abolish EMA, Winter Fuel Allowance etc, cos then they wouldnt get elected. But they will. Cameron was Spec. Advisor to the chancellor during the last recession, and let struggling families go to the wall, offering no help at all. Why should he act any differently now?

[hugoegbert79]

And why are our public services inefficient? Because of huge slashes in public spending for 18 years under Thatcher and Major. In 1997 the NHS was on it's knees. The average waiting time for an operation was 18 months. Now it's 18 weeks. They are inefficient because they are no longer in the public sector, they were sold off aswell, and unfortunately New Labour haven't yet re-nationalised them. They are inefficient because of the Tory spending cuts which they want to do again now.

[hugoegbert79]

Of course I don't want future generations to be saddled with tax burdens. But it is the only thing we can do, and every government in the world, left and right-wing, aswell as leading economists, the IMF and the World Bank, accept that what the govt is doing is the correct thing to do. But the Tories still oppose it. We can't raise tax, on that we are both agreed, but we also can't neglect public services like the Tories did and want to do again, for the reasons I outlined below.

[hugoegbert79]

..the NHS, welfare and benefits, cuts in social housing, adult education-the list goes on. Public sector workers will lose their jobs because they cost too much (remember the massive tax cuts for the rich) and our public services will go into meltdown. Not that millionaires like Cameron will need to use public services of course. And the winter fuel allowance? EMA? Free nursery places for 2-4 year olds? All gone because it costs too much, but we can afford to give a £3bn tax cut to the richest.

[dragonlee90]

Sounds like you've swallowed the Labour bile. Firstly, the Tories are NOT cutting public spending, they are slowing the rate of increase in order to save money for tax cuts. Our public services are sclerotic and inefficient, so efficiency savings can be made.

The inheritance tax will only be paid by the WEALTHIEST. They have not said they will abolish EMA or the Winter Fuel Allowance. It was the Tories who have given pensionsers free bus travel in London.

[hugoegbert79]

Sounds like you've swallowed the tTory bile, after some hurried research on their website. They aren't cutting public spending? I can tell you for a fact, they ARE abolishing Surestart, they ARE severely cutting back on apprenticeships, they ARE cutting back on adult education, they ARE cutting funding, which until today they said they would provide, which public services need to grow stronger and survive.

[hugoegbert79]

so they've given pensioners free bus travel in London, which I thought all pensioners were entitled to anyway? It's also the Tories who are closing down primary schools in my area, splitting the kids up from their friends, shipping them off to other schools who are supposed to be able to accomodate them but can't, and are selling the schools and land to make a quick profit.

[hugoegbert79]

Also, borrowing has to happen anyway, it's a function of the global economy. But business understandably doesn't want to borrow or lend at all at the moment, so the government has to. Yes it will mean higher taxes later, but people are losing jobs, businesses are going bust, homes are being repossessed NOW. We cant neglect these people and make the situation worse because we want lower taxes in a few years. & remember we'll be making profits from our investement in the banks in a few years too.

[dragonlee90]

Borrowing rises true. But added borrowing on automatic stabiliser borrowing is stupid especially in a country like Britain, where national debt is at 126%, not the 37% constantly quoted by GB, because he dosen't include PFI, Pension liabilities etc.

What you do is cut spending e.g £5,000,000,000 out of each department. Try and save at least £30,000,000,000, and translate it into permanent tax cuts. Spending stimulates the economy which means more tax revenue, hence, new public spending

[hugoegbert79]

Take £5,000,000,000 out of each dept? Take away life-saving treatment from the NHS? Take away funding from schools? From the police? From welfare and benefits? These things are not luxuries that can be cut abused whenever the financial climate gets tough, these are things that we need, that we expect, that cannot be neglected. The sort of policy you are advocating would cripple many public services. You people go on about the NHS being stretched, so your solution is to take £5bn away from it?

[dragonlee90]

I would happily cut benefits on those who CAN work but choose not to. I know somebody who is disabled. He has had 5-6 kidney transplants. He survives on a cocktail of medication. He cannot work in a normal job because his illness is very serious. But he has never claimed any benefit in his life. He set up a small business, selling trading cards, comics etc in order to provide an income. If he can do that considering he has a fatal illness, what excuse do people who are fit have?

[Dendiol]

Very well summed up.

[LollieSmith]

Dragonlee you cant compare everyone to your friend. You would need to live with someone for a while to assertain the degree of incapacity that they have.

[dragonlee90]

I can. I've known this man for years and he has never claimed a penny from the state.

[LollieSmith]

Thats not what i meant. I am sure that your friend is capable but you cant compare ill people that you do not know to people you do know.

My point is that some people appear well-ish or have erratic good health episodes but are really quite ill and dependant and they are not all on 300 quid a week. A lot survive on 70 quid. I know a woman who literally cannot leave her house (agoraphobia) Nothing and no one has been able to help her.

[hugoegbert79]

"Spending stimulates the economy which means more tax revenue, hence, new public spending" Come on. Don't pretend you want to spend money on public services. Your party certainly doesn't. They want to strip everything to the bone, just like Thatcher did.

[dragonlee90]

So you swallow the semen that is sprayed out of the HIV withered penis of New Labour too? They haven't proposed spending cuts. They are still wanting to increase spending, just a smaller increase as a percentage. But I would happily support cuts. The government spends £685,000,000,000 a year, there is plenty of scope for cuts e.g. ID Cards, Quango's, bureaucrats (Lesbian outreach officers), all of the mangement positions installed by Gordon Brown etc.

[autofreak7]

The Conservative party has changed in 20 years time, even though, this might be hard to believe for Labour supporters, who still think in terms of the Tory voter as a greedy, bald, aging landowner. That's simply not the case anymore (except for the baldiness, sadly...), since Thatcher a whole new supporters base has been developed. It's the middle class family, which works hard and enjoys life, even without the State wasting billions of pounds a year. Good governance is what we need!

[Mickmars90]

David Cameron is the first Tory leader in 45 years to be privately educated. The last one before him was Sir Alec Douglas Home. Tony Blair was privately educated. The towers of Labour e.g. Tony Benn, Michael Foot etc are all privately educated. In fact, the intellectual foundations of the Labour movement were built in the Fabian Society, privately educated middle class people. William Hague, Iain Smith, Michael Howard, John Major and Ted Heath were all state school educated.

[gregorioallegri]

As was Mrs. T.

[trip3newton]

I have always voted Conservative- But I am disappointed on with George if he is guilty of this illegal Donation

[pulrh]

Boy George will be looking for a new job himself in a week.

thought he could mess with Mandy - what a mug!

[hugoegbert79]

Let's hope he keeps his job, he's a major weakness to them. He damages them more than he helps, so he's an asset to the rest of us reasonable people who don't want these bastards in power.

[ThinkTank85]

Absolutely right about the importance of the relationship between the PM and the Chancellor, Blair and Brown never seemed to be on the same page.

[SelfImmolator]

Ken Clarke would be a better Shadow Chancellor for many reasons.

[hugoegbert79]

"Ken Clarke would be a better Shadow Chancellor for many reasons." Yes, probably, the 1streason being that he's somewhat competent, and is not simply chosen for the post because he's an old chum of Cameron's. However, Ken Clark is an evil man who sits on the board of directors for Benson & Hedges making money out of death. B&H illegally target African children in their advertising campaign, trying to get young children addicted to tobacco, and he makes money from it. ie. he's a classic Tory.

[ProgDogMan]

Osborne could beat Darling in a match any day. FACT

[hugoegbert79]

What sort of match? Tennis? Footie? Because if you're talking about who's more competent, I think the fact that whilst Darling was working on bailing out the banks and saving the world banking system Osborne was on a billionaire's yaught with his chief fundraiser, trying to get an illegal donation to the Party whilst neglecting his duty to work on policies to save the economy and help people struggling financially, speaks for itself :)

[ProgDogMan]

Doy.. Labour's poor economic policies got us into this 'credit crunch'. Labour is partly responsible. Labour took finacial regulation away from the Bank of England and gave the FSA more power (FSA dont know how to manage finance), and secondly the government borrowed up to 3 billion in less than a year, before this economic struggle came. Why borrow so much? Labour dont have a clue how to manage an economy. 'No boom and bust' says Brown. ha. Look at the mid 70's they made a horrible mess.

[hugoegbert79]

Progdogman: You want to talk about regulation? OK. Who was it that consistently deregulated the banks during the '80s and '90s? Who was it who COMPLETELY deregulated the banks in 1986-the "Big bang" it was called, freeing up banks from red tape and needless regulation, which made them less profitable? Who is it who has been banging on about the "free market" and "market forces", and "leaving it to the market" since 1979? THATCHER, and the rest of the Tories.

[hugoegbert79]

The Tories have for the past 11 years been calling for LESS regulation, saying Labour were regulating too much. Up to a few months ago Osborne himself was demanding cuts in regulation for banks. Cameron has just employed a deregulation, yes, DE-regulation advisor, who sat on the board of directors for Severn Trent when they were found to be lying to regulators. Deregulation was not a Labour policy-it was a Tory policy, which they started 17 years before 97. They are just as responsible for this

[hugoegbert79]

"the government borrowed up to 3 billion in less than a year"-In 1992 the Tories more than doubled borrowing from £22bn to £54bn, over 7% of GDP, and not to pay for help to families and businesses, or for public services, but to try and prop up the £, which had fallen to its lowest level ever due to their incompetence and mismanagement of the economy-David Cameron,incidentally, was Special Advisor to the Chancellor and 1 of the most senior members of the Treasury. The poor suffered the result

[hugoegbert79]

"Look at the mid 70's they made a horrible mess." I refer you again to '92, to the early '80s, (most of the 80s actually), to the poll tax, the trading off of manufacturing for credit, buy now pay later policies, which we are now feeling the results of. Yes, Labour is partly responsible, of course. On the other hand, the new world economic system was what it was, and they had to try and make it work, and did, providing the highest employment and lowest inflation, lowest crime, min. wage etc.

[hugoegbert79]

"No more boom and bust." An unfortunate claim, true, but the difference is that whilst the bust of the 80s and 90s was caused by the actions of the british govt (who then left the public to fend for themselves, no winter fuel allowance etc. and no min wage then either) this bust is a global economic crisis caused by the americans, which affects every country around the world because of the nature of the global economy and free market that Thatcher & Reagan gave us.

[hugoegbert79]

"Labour dont have a clue how to manage an economy." labour have, over the past 11 years, given us the lowest unemployment rates ever, lowest inflation since the 60s, lowest poverty rates ever, lowest crime rates ever, longest life expectancy ever,shortest waiting times on the NHS than ever, the best GCSE and A-level results ever, the highest earning pop. ever, the highest number of small businesses ever, the highest productivity of business ever.

[ProgDogMan]

Lowest crime rates?what planet are you living on? Records may suggest a decrease but that is not true.many cases are not even reported. Knife crime, gun crime? Longest life expectancy?Im very sure Government havent increased life expectancy- thats technological and scienctific improvements. doy... Don't really agree on the Health service either. the conditions are terribly, MRSA ECT. due to mass immigration our hospitals have been busier than ever. Although i do agree on our eductional system.

[2n2equals5]

Two words: Golden. Legacy. Everything Labour had in their first terms, at least in regards to inflation and unemployment, was left for them by Major.

[autofreak7]

that's completely... accurate.

[hugoegbert79]

"Labour dont have a clue how to manage an economy." Tory plans for managing the economy-traditional slash and burn on pub. services, along with raising taxes, is criticised by pretty much every1 in the world. Business leaders, the IMF, the CBI, the World bank and every major economy in the world is doing exactly what Brown is doing-Obamas doing it, Merkels doing it, Sarkozy, the Chinese, and everyone accepts that its the right thing to do. Except the Tories. THEY are the 1s who dont have a clue

[ProgDogMan]

Yes they do you indolent communist. Its right to have low tatxation. Immagine making an effort to work most of your life to get a good living and find that most of it is taxed away. You consider people with high incomes sould be taxed?, well you try working hard enogh to make a good living. Labour will drive national debt to more than £1trillion within five years as a result of Mr Darlings Pre-Budget measures.... debt!!>?? massive deficit.

[dragonlee90]

The French aren't offering it, neither are ze Germans. It's the countries with BUDGET SURPLUSES that are offering a stimulus. Britain is bankrupt. You claim Thatcher didn't spend enough on public services, that's because she was paying off the debt she inherited from Jim Callaghan, when debt was at 55% of GDP. She also inherited a massive budget deficit. These debts need to be paid off, whereas Brown is going to leave it to the Tories to sort it out.

[SamuraiQuester]

Yes Geroge, fix the roof for your friends in the financial elite, who've brought the economy shuddering to a halt with their greed and incompetence, and cut the rest of society loose: back to Mrs Thatcher's "Community ends at the garden gate". Terrifying.

Cheers matey, much appreciated. Incidentally, I think that the current cataclysm has shown Cameron and Osbourne to be the clueless shysters they are and is looking set to give us another Labour term

(thank God). I'll see you (and I do mean you, Tories!) still in opposition after the next election!!! Send in the red thumbs, guys, it's the few votes for your cause you'll get!!!

Each Shadow Cabinet member should make one of these videos in order to increase their profile and allow people to get to know them more, particularly new members like Greg Clark

Agreed.
