And The Rich Get Richer...

[10ClarionSt]

....under the Conservative led coalition. The Sunday Times rich list shows that multi-millionaires have increased their wealth during the last 5 years. So the austerity plan is working at our expense. If you want more of the same, then vote Conservative and pay for their friends to get richer. Never mind that the banking fraternity are raking in our money and getting away with it.

Its as my old Dad used to say...under the Tories, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Nothing new there !

Under the last Labour Government the gap widened to Edwardian proportions. But then they were comfortable with people getting 'filthy rich'.

And they all did their darndest to join them.

Careful 10ClarionSt...don't confuse people with the facts !

Everybody knows that the American sub-prime market collapse was caused the Labour Party employing more Nurses !

gold reserves sold at all time low;
pensions raided;
removal of the concessionary tax for the lowest paid;
commitment to a heart-breaking, illegal, ruinously expensive war with the outcome still affecting the whole world;
borrowing from the imf, like the world was going to end tomorrow;
and complete lack of control on mp's expenses.
just for a start - now let me think - who could have done all that!

Was in Zurich wine bar last week and watching a bunch of bank workers showing off to guests they were entertaining by treating them to bottles of wine costing CHF 1,500 a bottle or a thousand quid. Ok not the most expensive wine on sale (that was CHF 3,550 a bottle) , but I was impressed. The crisis is well and truly over lol

It's the children growing up in poverty I feel for. I can't wait for these bullingdon scumbags to be thrown out.

[fiction-factory]

I hadn't realised poverty only started under Cameron/Osborne, handyguy.

[DTCwordfan]

Who was the Labour dick who left the message that the Treasury was empty as they had spent it all.....aah, one prat called Liam Byrne.

What's changed? The chancellor/shadow chancellor hasn't - one ex-boss of Byrne, now shadow minister for Universities.....

[handyguy]

No but it certainly got a lot worse under them.

[DTCwordfan]

more people than ever employed.....now which Labour bus has handy been sleeping under?

[PankySmooch]

And under the Labour government....The country went to pot, nice one
