Anyone from Donny who votes Tory is a disgrace to the town.
Quote from: Sheepskin Stu on May 22, 2012, 01:05:42 pmAnyone from Donny who votes Tory is a disgrace to the town. Why is that exactly? I don't like talk like that if I'm honest, differing political views are fine but I find comments like that a bit too far. It's probably why the town still isn't progressing, stuck in the past.It's all fairly clear to me, the Tories got it right by working on the deficit something Labour didn't want to do, but it had to be done. We're now in a much better position going forward than countries like Greece and the US who still have the pain to come in the future. Although I'm in favour of pushing growth a little more in the coming months and I expect the government to do so, but that doesn't have to mean gross overspending as others believe in.I don't agree with a VAT cut though, in the current environment it's just not beneficial.
It's good to smoke some of these Tory weasels out. Voting Conservative is an insult to the common working man.
So you would rather ignore what is best for the country (which was Conservative in the 2010 election) over some illusions that the Labour party is still the socialist ideology that defends the working man? C'mon there is no ideology in Politics anymore. Blair killed off the social image of Labour. All 3 parties are Neo-Liberal.

Although I agree Blair brought the Labour Party closer to the middle, it is still more left-wing than the tories ever will be.I also disagree that the Conservatives were the right choice in 2010. Anyone who knows their history knew that the tories would bring in Austerity measures too fiercely, cut public jobs too radically and basically f*ck over the lower-middle and lower classes in general.They were the wrong choice in 2010, and they are still the wrong choice. Wasn't it Cameron that said we wouldn't going into double dip recession under the Conservative coalition? Hmmm.....

A couple of quid in your arse pocket and suddenly you're backing that bunch of criminals. You make me physically sick. I'm alright Jack. b*llocks to the rest.
QuoteA couple of quid in your arse pocket and suddenly you're backing that bunch of criminals. You make me physically sick. I'm alright Jack. b*llocks to the rest.A law should be brought in banning people like Sheepskin Sue from having the vote. She is so thick she'd vote Labour no matter what.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-18158226Thank God labour aren't in power any more. The key phrase from their report is as follows:"When I look back to 2010 and what could have happened without fiscal consolidation I shiver." In effect she's saying ' It's a good job Labour weren't in power or they'd have carried on spending and there wouldn't have been any fiscal consolidation. The UK would now be looking as bad as Spain, Italy, Greece, Ireland, Portugal etc.Well done Dave and George.
These two clowns will go down in history as the most hated PM and Chancellor in history
Stop it, you're hurting me with your cruel Tory jibes. Has your butler wiped your arse yet? It must be so upsetting coming on here and mingling with the great unwashed. I pity you.
They've saved the British economy (for now) from the gross ineptitude of Gordon Brown. For that we should be eternally grateful.
From Q3 2010 onwards, the OECD lists GDP data for 7 respective quarters of the UK economy.Of those 7 quarters, 4 have shown negative growth.Saved?
You have a lovely way with words mjdgreg if you dont mind me saying so.
Labour crippled this country financially but a large portion of the population round here will persist in voting Labour forever and grumbling "rich tories, working man ignored, Thatcher is scum" etc. etc. etc. until the day they die.I asked my brother not long back why he votes Labour and he says "cos my dad did" which is pathetic. At least have your own opinion! Sadly a fair few follow this same grand idea.Sheepskin Stu you are the disgrace for a comment like that, where do you get off telling me or anyone that how they vote is a 'disgrace to this town'. Get real. I suppose you are behind Francois Hollande's great plan to get out of recession by, err, spending more money that his country doesn't have? Tremendous idea Frankie, can't go wrong.Oh, and how long as Bert Miliband been in charge now? I'm yet to hear a policy from him, all he does is tell us how the Tories evil policies are bad, but never says how he has a better idea instead. The clown.
Rome wasn't built in a day but we are on the right path.Take the blinkers off and look at what is happening in Greece, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Italy etc
Let's start with the headlines of what Lagarde of the IMF said."when I think back myself of May 2010 when the UK deficit was at 11%, and I try to imagine what the situation would be like today if no such fiscal consolidation programme had been decided. I shiver."Quite. I don't think you'd find anyone who disagrees with that. You would also find no-one who had the policy of keeping that level of deficit. Labour certainly didn't have that policy. The question was always about just how quickly you cut the deficit and whether cutting too quickly would screw up growth. Labour were planning to halve the deficit over 5 years. Osborne's plan was to eliminate it.
