Hurrrra

Should we

a) Slash our military budget
b) pump money into uk businesses and push gdp up
or
c) give away another billion to the banks?

Really Cameron doesn't look too bad.

Brown may be despised by many, but when the financial crisis kicked off his actions kept the planet's financial systems floating.

So... no one does any thing about it. Petrol prices are crippling people and small businesses, idiot labour taxes are pushing large companies and employers out of Britain, Gordon thought giving a billion pounds to a thieving bunch of wa..bankers was a great idea......

And we all sit there and take it,

bollocks.

No, afraid not. Its fucked us. Australia didn't inject billions like the UK and America and funnily enough they're doing a shit lot better than us. A great example is Japan, they did the same in the early 90's and are still recovering.

Gordon however would like you to think he saved the world,

you really think the tories are going to drop the tax on fuel, they did put the system in place afterall

He had no choice but to prop up the banks, or did you expect him to let the economy and the country turn to total anarchy, peeps losing their savings, their wages that went into the bank, come on mate get real...............

They were never proven wrong mate, labour never implemented any Tory ideas, if they had you could say they were proven wrong. And actually a number of financial guru's and large PLC's agreed strongly with the Torys.

The only party i can think of i like more is UKIP.

Right, got to stop now getting wound up for no decent reason,

I never said that.

Just giving few examples of how we as a country have been fucked on. Greece isn't taking things too well, why don't we (as a country) object a little to more to shite ideas that financially and socially damage us?

And why bother to tell me to get real? we are just disagreeing its not that important what you and i think. Fact is panicking and injecting shit lots of money into an economy although initially 'propping up' banks isn't that amazing of an idea in the long run, and i know, when we've run out of money to 'prop' the banks up with, lets borrow a shit lot more and wank that about as well. Fact is there were some other very plausible strategies other than browns,

Rob,

i remember when it was coming up to the elections 13 years back, i wasn't old enough to vote then but remember a lot of family members saying things along the lines of tories have made a mess so might as well give labour a go.........the same thing has happened now, ppl have no faith in labour so they voted elsewhere. i don't claim to know a great deal about running a country or politics in general but the way i see it (and i know i'm gonna get shot down in flames for this) can they really make things that bad in 4-5 years or what ever it'll be until the next elections?

Totally different this time, most of the world is in the shit, the euro is fucked, greece is bankrupt and being propped up, spain and portugal aint far behind, we are totaly fucked and its all down to the global recession not just labour this time.

It's to encourage the benefit scroungers to get a job instead of them working out they are "better off" staying on the dole.

Sun lol, think you need to go back mate and re-read a few articles, it was never clear cut, there were clearly two very separate and opposing schools of thought here and in the states and a fairly equal number of supporters for each, and as usual America yanked out lease and we followed suit. Im not particularly saying either is wrong, its all good mate, chill a bit, so how would labour do a better job then?

But alas, Browns resigned, the unelected PM as you tories love to put it and now we have an unelected PM in charge of an unelected Party using the lib dems in desperation to get into number 10.

Lets make the best of things as its gonna be rough!

What's the point in moaning? We all just have to get on with it now, we had a general election, an outright winner couldn't be determined, a deal has been made, there's not much joe public can do about it aside from a full on attempt to overthrow the government.

Rob,
as stated already even kenneth clarke who imo is one of the decent and most experienced tories said labour got it right and his own party was wrong, says it all really and his own party dont think osbourne is up to the job, lets all wait 6 months and watch this bullshit coalition fall apart, i hope im wrong and they do allright as otherwise this country is in deep shit but i bet in 6 months time everyone will be wanting this sham of a coalition out as history in this country says coalitions dont work.

Think clarkson had it right

"One eyed Scottish idiot"

And the fact that Kenneth Clarke and Alistair Darling agreed with brown MUST mean he was totally correct. What a lot of cock, my dog thinks im god, prove him wrong.
