Remind me again, did the tories pay off the deficit in 2014 like they said? What about 2016 like they postponed to?... What about 2017 which they postponed to after? Interesting there is now no mention of getting rid of it now.... ready to inject cash into the economy to get it back to the level of 2010 before they did the damage, almost as if it was a ploy to use as an excuse for underfunding public services. Saw you talking of gullible labour supporters earlier... were you gullible for thinking they would ever pay off the deficit?

So you are another who thinks that shooting the messenger makes the message untrue! Try addressing the message please. Which was quite simple. That measuring economic performance is actually quite a complex matter and for which there is no overall answer. By some measurements the Tories do better whist by others Labour do. Sweeping statements are just political gestures. No, I'm not a "Labour" man. I just prefer the truth to lies. I have almost always voted Conservative but won't this time, unless Sarah Newton, who has announced she won't be re-contesting her seat, is replaced by somebody more in tune with me. It's unlikely in the current climate. I detest the style and lies of this government and think it is taking us in a very stupid direction which will end up with us out of the EU, in hock to the USA and with the UK itself in tatters.
For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally. |

You obviously don't understand how debts are repaid and why managing the debt properly is important. Quite frankly, whatever one believes, I would never vote for a party who has used the situation in Parliament to stop the progress of a democratically chosen exit from the EU for their own political ends. That is a step too far.

Exactly what direction that involved us taking was unknown. Calling people like me childish names only serves to demonstrate how weak your actual arguments are. If you don't enjoy having the truth being pointed out to you then try accepting it.

Edited by Wisbech Eagle (31 Oct 2019 10.16pm) What a ridiculous excuse. There could only be a binary choice and you know it.

Do you know that the top 1% of earners pay app 25% of the tax in the uk. People registering on the dole under Blair were encouraged or asked if they wanted to go on incapacity benefits. I think they could do it over the phone, not even in person. Under the Tories they were all hauled in for interview. Maybe went a bit far on a few cases where they really couldn’t function for long at work.

Darned good job and all. "In hock to the USA" and the "UK itself in tatters".Straight from the Corbyn "Bible".
