PunkRockDad Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Then they should be used to it after 13 years of new labour's 's'OCIALIST millionaires doing exactly the same. I'm not saying it was any different when the Labour party were in government - I was simply commenting on yesterday's budget, the rhetoric of Osborne and Cameron, and positioning their rhetoric against their class background.

But conveniently overlooking the fact that Milliband's speech after the budget attacked every single thing that he and many of his front bench actually put their names to when they were in government, as I have said before instead of attacking the budget, how about Mr Ed apologising for the actions of the last new labour old tory government of which he was a very central figure, perhaps then he might look like a contender for the title of man of the people instead of just another labour hypocrite. The difference is everybody knows what to expect when the tories are in power but in opposition labour keep banging on about it and then in power are just exactly the same, so why should we believe them this time, that is what Milliband's needs to explain?.

You are completely (perhaps purposely even) misunderstanding what it is I am saying. I have no connection with any political party. Most politicians are self-important, selfish, egotistical swine. Power corrupts and those who spend their entire lives seeking power are the very last people who should have it. The present economic system is more likely to reward people for selfish and unscrupulous behavior than for being decent, caring human beings.

Spud55 Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Outside the confines of BBC Broadcasting House, EU membership is a big issue. Not addressed by the BBC pro Lib-Lab-Con EU traitor propaganda news and views bulletins is the fact that VAT (Value Added Tax) is at 20% to pay for Britain's EU membership. EU membership has also helped cripple various British industries for the past 40 odd years. Then we had current EU Fuhrer Angela Merkel come to this country recently telling us the EU wont change for us. Nigh time we came out of what's becoming a German led EU 4th Reich. It really isn't, the EU pales into insignificance when compared to other issues in the minds of most voters, thats why people vote for crap like UKIP in local and european elections but as soon as a general election comes round and people have to go for someone who may at least be able to run the country with a bit of competence they shy away for voting for the likes of UKIP, as their policies on the economy, education, health i.e the things that actually matter are garbage and their single issue gripe doesn't hold when it comes to a general election. The budget was fairly benign, but then it will be, they will be saving their big hitters (so to speak) for the next budget right before the election.

Mr Mosquito Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Check out how the budget will effect your area. . . http://longtermplan.org.uk/# ...and for Bristol and Bristolians...... F++k You Bristol !!!!!!....... Long-term economic plan: the truth 80% of new jobs created have been in London George Osborne says he has a long-term plan for the economy. The truth is that this amounts to little more than a short-term bet on London property prices. Speculators from across the globe are piling in their cash, fuelling skyrocketing prices. These rising property prices have given a gloss of prosperity to parts of the capital. But this London growth is doing little for the rest of the country. Osborne has boasted about the new jobs being created - but since he came to power, 80% of new private sector jobs created have been in London. And of the new jobs created nationally, four out of five are in low-paid sectors like retail and catering. For those already in work, after allowing for inflation, average earnings have fallen nearly 6% since 2010 - the worst decline in living standards since the 1870s. Borrowing has begun to rise again - but this time with payday lenders. A tiny minority, heavily concentrated in the richer parts of London, are seeing the fruits of economic growth. Osborne is promoting a bankers' recovery - rising wealth for the 1%, but rising debt for the rest. There are alternatives - an investment programme for renewable energy and public transport could create jobs and a sustainable recovery across the whole country.
