It sure does AOG. Give mildly and Wrecking Balls back the mantle and we'll be down the plug hole again.

So you've given up any pretence of asking questions here, rather than party-political flag-waving?

[naomi24]

Wave on, AOG!

Excuse me? What the ....?
//It says the lavish spending plans announced by Labour in the 2007 Comprehensive Spending Review were adhered to despite the onset of the banking crisis, which was heralded by the collapse of Northern Rock in 2007 and the subsequent failure of Lehman Brothers in //
Whose fault was the banking crisis? Not Labour's. I wouldn't have expected anything else from the Daily Mail, anyway. I have to go to work now, so won't be around to see how this develops, but I hope there will be people on the same side as me.

[naomi24]

Looks like there might already be one on the same side as you, cloverjo. failedagain.

First raw nerve tweaked.

Labour and Tory are like two "twins" from a rich family.

Labour are the rich twin who throws money around, gives it away for no reason, spends recklessly, and finishes up nearly bankrupting the family.

Tory is the "boring" twin who has to come in after Labour have had their spending spree and try to sort out the financial mess.

The Tory twin has to tighten the family's belt, reduce the extravagant spending, and try to get the families finances back on track.

The "hangers on" love Labour because, like people freeloading at a party, they can sit on their backsides all day, do nothing, and get someone else to spend money on them.

They hate Tory because they take away all their free "goodies" and try to make them work and contribute to the families well being.

It has always been the case, Labour bankrupt the country, Tory has to rescue the country from Labours mess.

Those of us who care about the "country", and not just being given free money all the time, will always vote Tory.

It is the only safe way.

VHG, I could not have put it better myself.

Oh do at least try.

Seems like the report offers good news for all of us.

I have voted Tory all my life and will continue to do so. However I do not blame Labour for our dissent in to recession, I blame the greedy banks who are still getting fat bonus's even though they have lost this country billions of pounds.

I read most threads on here and I can't recall you saying that to the deluded Labour Flagwavers in our midst, mikey for instance never stops, different strokes for different folks is it?

[THECORBYLOON]

ANOTHEOLDGIT, surely you want folk to vote for UKIP?

[Daffy6543]

I wouldn't vote Tory if they were the last party left in the country.

[Zacs-Master]

Erm....if they were the last party left, there would be no reason to vote.

[Old_Geezer]

Record breaking recovery ? What is it the longest number of years a government has ever managed to take to get out of a sticky patch ?

[Baldric]

Zacs, that just highlights the IQ of the Others!

Well done!!

[Canary42]

So it was reckless to bail the banks out in 2008 ?

What a Con.
