The Good News Keeps On Coming

[IC1967]

Pay rising by more than inflation. It seems like every day is a good news day.

IC.
It's a simple enough question. It requires a one-word answer.

I'll help you out. Unless you correct me, I'll assume that you are NOT mjdgreg or MadMick.

But, see, that'll throw up a conundrum won't it? And you'll know what it is, won't you?

I know you want it from the horses mouth, so to speak, but I can confirm all three are the same guitar playing, betterware, landlord, proffesional gambling person

[IC1967]

I am IC1967.

[BillyStubbsTears]

So IC. You are NOT the same person who wrote this?

How very strange...

[BillyStubbsTears]

Then you are a shameless plagiariser.

Number 2.

Government spending more than doubled under Labour. After allowing for inflation, Labour spent £1.35 trillion more than would have been spent if they'd kept public spending at the levels inherited from the Tories. In their 1997 manifesto they claimed the Tories were spending too much and that Labour would be wise spenders not big spenders. They claimed it was not how much that was spent that was important but how wisely the money was spent. Downright, barefaced lies.

[IC1967]

Number 3.

Labour allowed virtually uncontrolled immigration.

Number 4.

Labour increased the numbers of workers in the public sector by 849,000 (almost half of all jobs created during their time in office).

Am I truly the only one who is bored shitless by this continual claptrap masquerading as a party political broadcast (sic). Perhaps if we just refused to feed the troll, he'd get tired if he was just talking to himself. That's me done, I'm out of here, bye Mick x

[IC1967]

Number 6.

Labour increased state spending from 40% of GDP in 1997 to over 53% by the time they left office. A policy cynically designed to build up and reward a public-sector workforce that could be relied upon to return the favour at election times. Here's an article just before Darling's final budget exposing the horror of this change.

You're not the only one RedRover45

The trouble is people keep feeding him. Billy is the worst offender, but we're all guilty of it.

I agree. Billy's views are just one long party political broadcast. However his views need to be exposed for the complete drivel they are. Fortunately I am just the man for the job.

There's a certain level of irony here...

Number 7.

Under Labour over £3 trillion of our money was taken from our pockets.

Around half went in an uncontrolled splurge of public spending in the so called 'boom' and the other half evaporated in the bust. That's around £50,000 for every person in Britain.

[IC1967]

Number 8.

Went crazy using PFI (Public Finance Initiative). Schools and hospitals etc were built using this method of finance. PFI loans typically cost 8 per cent, twice as much as the long-term government gilt rate.

The public purse is now burdened by over 800 PFI contracts with a capital value of £64 billion; at current prices, the repayments will stretch for 50 years at a cost of £267 billion.

As the National Audit Office report on PFI noted in April 2011, echoing similar complaints by the Public Accounts Committee, the system has lacked ‘value for money evaluation by departments of operational PFI projects’.   

[IC1967]

Number 9.

Claimed to have abolished 'boom and bust'. In April 2007 Gordon proclaimed his well-worn mantra: 'We will never return to the old boom and bust.' A few months later there was a deafening bang and you could hardly see Britain's economy for all the crashing debris, smoke and dust.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Once again Micky boy demonstrates that he is unable to count to ten without f**king it up.


Dum-de-dum...

[IC1967]

Haha. I wondered how long it would be before someone spotted my deliberet mistake.

Shame you are unable to provide a coherent response to any of the excellent points I've made. You'll be pleased to know there's plenty more to come.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Bye bye Mick.

[IC1967]

A post saying you're the worst offender and you walk away. Are you a man or a mouse? (squeak, squeak).

Just admit the real reason is you can't argue against the excellent points I've made. There are plenty more to come. By the time I'm finished, no-one with half a brain will ever vote Labour again.

[Wild Rover]

What happened to no.5. Just interested.

[RedJ]

It was one of his oh so hilarious deliberate mistakes.

[wilts rover]

No 8 - PFI was a Thatcher initiative from the early 1990's. Or are you just using/making up your own facts to suit your argument again?

[IC1967]

Number 14 (why the sudden jump to 14? there were 6 points in my first post listing Labour's miserable record).

Lost over £10 billion on commissioning a computer system for the NHS.

Is that the best you can do out of all the points I've made? Pathetic. I didn't say Labour introduced PFI. I said they went crazy with it, which they did.

[IC1967]

Number 15.

Went to war in Iraq and lied about the real reason for doing so.

[IC1967]

Economy growing at its fastest rate since 2007. Won't be long before Labour will drop their cost of living charade just as they did with Plan B.

Meanwhile the rich get richer and the poor stay poor. Brilliant.
