Why's Gordon smiling? 3:38pm on 03 Dec 2009 "He has agreed a joint strategy with President Obama which is easily communicated and understood" . . . particularly by the Taliban
Introducing green cuts 5:53pm on 24 Nov 2009 "Labour points out that in the past 10 years, they have struggled to cut carbon emissions by 10% in central government - so promising to cut it by 10% in one year with no specific plan about how to do it looks pretty implausible."

"Labour", as in . . .? . . . The press office?
"Points out", as in . . ? Briefs against this idea?
"Struggled" as in . . . ? Not tried?
Just a teenzy bit biased this post by Nick, some might think
Big choices 5:13pm on 16 Sep 2009 "This, however, was more tactical repositioning than a historic moment when the prime minister told the country an unpalatable truth."

Some mistake surely.

Should read:-
"This, however, was more tactical repositioning than a historic moment when the prime minister told the country a truth."
Big choices 5:05pm on 16 Sep 2009 "unnecessary budgets"
What a facinating concept!
How much has been paid unnecessarily into these, why and for how long? Can we have it back please?
Taking the political mood 5:58pm on 29 Apr 2009 Why make an exception of the economy?
It wasn't a "Balls up" 12:47pm on 11 Feb 2009 "It wasn't a balls up"

Oh yes it was.

He didn't say what he planned to say =incompetence.
He didn't mean what he said = incompetence

So nothing new there.
It was Balls 12:03pm on 10 Feb 2009 "In other words, they accept that he said what's being quoted but had not meant to say it. "
Why- because its not true or because they don't want us to know?
Economy, economy, economy 4:16pm on 12 Jan 2009 derekbarker at #167
You miss the point too; the question was about the tax burden falling on the future generations, and the answer (well it typically was not an answer at all - nothing changes in that repect) was deliberately disingenuous/misleading.
There's no such thing as a one sided coin.
Economy, economy, economy 3:20pm on 12 Jan 2009 GB on World at One:-
He rejected Conservative claims that future generations would suffer because of his mistakes, saying Labour had done a lot for children including boosting child benefit, increasing nursery places and extending parental leave.

"We are investing in young children and I don't see why children should pay the price for a global financial crisis," he said.

Thus completely missing the point either by incompetence or intentional repetition of a mantra intended to deceive.
The point is that the burden will fall on the children when they become taxpayers! Gordon, do you think you will be able to understand that or is it a concept beyond your comprehension?
Serious questions to answer 1:38pm on 04 Dec 2008 The Home Secretary today:-
It had been appropriate to call in the police faced with the apparent "systematic leaking of classified information over a sustained period" and "given the damage that this was doing to the effective conduct of government business". ie the business of concealing embarrasing evidence of incompetence re employment of illegal imigrants in security industry etc!!
