The Daily Politics: Nonsense economy opinion poll (10July09)

The Daily Politics commission an opinion poll where people are asked about the UK economy. They say they don't want public sector cuts, and they don't want to pay more in taxes. Considering the public sector only exists by draining the private sector via taxes, how do these idiots propose to pay off the UK's £2.5 Trillion debt New Labour have racked up without cuts or tax rises?

Are they talking about another miracle third way that New Labour have bullsh1tted about for 12 years?

Recorded from BBC2's The Daily Politics, 10 July 2009.

Just couldn't place where here family came from. Had figured she was Mediterranean before but for some reason she struck me as looking distinctly non-European in this interview...

Was just struck by it so I typed it, that's all. :)

[firebreathone2]

yes I think she is.. Why do you ask man?

[anon2999]

Is that woman Indian or something?

My bad x] -Gives a laugh-

Mate, seriously, I was only having a joke because you said 'burrowed' instead of 'borrowed'. I know it was childish, please don't take offence. I think you are totally right, I was just trying to get a laugh, that's all.

Look. In the last few years, when the economies world wide have been growing, we continued to burrow money, which of course we have to return with interest on payments. He sold our Gold shares at dead cheap prices, a year or two before they multiplied by 10 in value. Basically during the good years, instead of making us a nice profit, he kept putting us more and more in debt, if he had been a better chancellor of the Exchequer. Now the markets are dead... we have debt and no money.

[cheerlessdarkndeadly]

He burrowed it? All we have to do then is dig it back up and we'll be fine. Shouldn't be too hard to find it (there was an awful lot of it after all)

[BeNJiMedia]

Its worse for the UK, because Brown as Chancellor burrowed alot of money that we couldnt afford to repay, and now we have a recession its even worse.
