ditastrous labour

[brionon]

Just heard on the BBC. News.'GB is alone in having 10 years of uniterrupted growth'. So much for that bloke's claim that Labour has been a DISASTROUS government !

[Tichfield]

What sort of growth?

The growth in violent crime for instance?

Or the growth in taxes?

Or the growth in losing people's personal dats?

Damn. I saw the heading "disastrous labour" and hotfooted it over here to demonstrate my knowledge of all matters relating to childbirth.
Oops!

[Tichfield]

Or even the growth in the number of wars the UK gets involved in?

Any idiot can borrow their way to growth.

This article, published yesterday, says "UK borrowing worst in 10 years"

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7200775.st m

"The state of the UK's public finances continues to go from bad to worse," said Jonathan Loynes, economist at Capital Economics

Or the growth in the amount of companies relocating to asia and eastern europe.....

Or the growth in companies closing....

or the growth in bankcruptcies...

or the growth in repossessions

or the fact that the everyones personal debt is bigger than the money the country has in reserves....

What is our balance of imports and exports lately?

Let's look at Labour's "achievements".

Rampant uncontrolled growth in immigration (be it via asylum seekers, illegal immigrants or people from the EU)

Massive national debt (now over 500 BILLION POUNDS)

Many youngsters out of control with binge drinking, drugs, stabbings, street crime and so on. Hardly safe to go on the streets after dark nowadays.

An expensive illegal war with Iraq, just because Blair had his tongue up Bush's ar5e.

Years of "spin" from Blair promising all sorts of initiatives to cut crime, graffitti, drug taking, all which came to nothing.

MASSIVE personal debt which shows no signs of abating. It is now at 1.4 TRILLION pounds.

Like ALL politicians, they are liars and are only in politics to get their snouts in the trough. What really astounds me is that people actually vote for them!! Personally, I dislike liars and could not bring myself to vote for one, so effectively I am disenfranchised, as any self-respecting person in this country should be.

BBC = New Labour propaganda machine. (Apart from when Tony and Alistair killed a scientist and tried to shift the blame)
