I am waiting to here the spin on breaking the golden rule.
I do hope this puts the lie about Golden Clowns masterful handling of the economy to bed. I do hope this gets put over to the masses.I am not qualified to give the above advice!

Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time -
'The highest budget deficit since records began in 1946.' Wow!!! They really are the most incompetent government, but will keep insisting that they are prudent and better at managing the economy than the Tories.
Will their supporters still blindly continue to believe their LIES !!!!???Comment

Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

Reminds me of your continual promotion of the Tories as the econmic saviours just waiting to restore prosperity to the UK.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

There really is no other hope. At least we have experience of the Tories restoring the economy from at least two recessions after Healy & Callaghan's resort to the IMF in the mid- 70's. Labour have never achieved economic recovery and never will, sadly.Comment

Previously, Wilson and Callaghan had inherited such a disastrous economy from the moribund Tory government that Cabinet memoirs tell us that real tears were shed when the optimistic incoming Labour government found out just how bare the cupboard was.
Or do you mean the Major/Lamont government that presided over 15% interest rates and dropped ignominously out of the ERM?
No, those tales of Tory fiscal responsibility are tall ones.Last edited by expat; 18 July 2008, 12:17.Comment
