Reasons to be careful 11:38am on 23 Nov 2009 What a sad sad thought (If true)

The labour party offer hope and continued support for the majority, while the tories offered a bleak out look, of savage cuts and austerity.

Plotters, quitters and fighters 3:07pm on 16 Nov 2009 Dumb struck with horror at the mere thought:

"Complete the following sentence: 'I want five more years of Gordon Brown as my prime minister because...'"
Gordon Brown and the military 3:39pm on 13 Nov 2009 16. sagamix

Brown could have stopped him in the same way that he could have headed off the global credit crunch and consequent economic downturn ... i.e. he couldn't

The key point is that he didn’t foresee either problem nor did he feel any inclination to either stop or slow policy that led to either.

Vince Cable asked Gordon Brown back in November 2003: “The growth of the British economy is sustained by consumer spending pinned against record levels of personal debt, which is secured, if at all, against house prices that the Bank of England describes as well above equilibrium level. What action will the Chancellor take on the problem of consumer debt?”

Browns reply “We have been right about the prospects for growth in the British economy, and the hon. Gentleman (Mr. Cable) has been wrong.”
Gordon Brown and the military 3:11pm on 13 Nov 2009 "You don't think I understand defence, do you?"

Of course he doesn’t, why should he? He's a bean counter with a shy, introverted, introspective personality who appears awkward in the lime light.

He belongs in back room counting beans.

Put him and us out of our misery… call an election.
It won't be March 4:23pm on 12 Nov 2009 "information minister"... Fantastic

Ref MPs should be made to read in detail every piece of legislation they have allowed to ooze into the public's life.

Now that is a very good idea.
El Presidente 08:14am on 28 Oct 2009

You know I might just have changed my mind.

When I read articles like this I think that we should hand over all our lawn making to the EU.

Never heard of the Swiss paying the EU anything, might be wrong though. Though I think that their goods attract a small tariff.

Remember we have a trade deficit with the EU. (For example, we have a deficit of over £3 billion a year trade with Germany alone.) The EU countries desperately need our trade. So good luck to Germany and being tough with us.

The EU may impose its external tariff on British exports to Europe. This would make very little difference to British companies - most of whose exports go outside Europe anyway. The World Trade Organisation restricts the EU to an external tariff of around 6% so the effect would, in any case, be quite small. (Britain would almost certainly be able to negotiate for itself a smaller tariff - in the way that Switzerland has. This would drive down the cost of leaving the EU still further.
