Answer 1

Unfortunately,this is what happens when you have a bunch of ambitious political incompetent cretins advancing the so called merits of an incompetent fool.who in this case answers to the name of Gordon Brown.

I agree with the questioner.Dipping into the private pension funds after he was warned by the City of it's consequences;Was down right criminal negligence!and has forced many private pensioners into poverty;The very people Labour were supposed to shield!

How can any one defend selling Britain's gold reserves for $240 an ounce which is now worth $930 an ounce?Gross incompetence is the only description.Someone ought to be held accountable!That person is Gordon Brown!

Answer 2

A real New Labour f*ck up would look exactly like the f*ck up's of Maggie Thatcher and her bunch of yes men and ar*e lickers. Global Recession comes from the same school as Global Warming, both big cons to extract even more money from us that actually work for a living and havn't just got of the last banana boat.

Answer 3

I can't believe that people as stupid as you actually exist - you should be banned from voting, because you clearly have no idea what you are talking about.  Anyone who thinks that the GLOBAL recession is somehow Labour's fault, has a complete lack of understanding of economics, politics and governance, and should be removed from the gene pool immediately.  I suppose it's Gordon Brown's fault you've got a small c**k as well is it?  Stop reading the ******* Daily Mail, and get an education.

Yeah, yeah mate, why don't you try making a point of actual note, rather than just sounding off like a blue-nosed Tory.  And if you seriously wanna get into a pissing contest about who is more intelligent, you will lose.  I promise you that.

To the back of the class, little boy!

Answer 4

Let us stop using fancy words. it is a trade SLUMP of 1930's vintage. Let the politicians hide behind their own lies. We know what it is.    

Answer 5

Answer 6

New Labour have no answers and, if it wasn't so damaging to the country, their attempts to use spin to put a positive slant on the worsening situation are laughable.

Still they draw comparisons with the recessessions of the early 1980s (Thatcher's remedy for 1960s/70s state corporatism that the Labour Party advocated) and the 1990s (caused in large part by currency speculation after entry to the ERM - which Labour was more keen on than the Tories until Black Wednesday, at which point they changed their minds). Yet more spin and lies. They rely on peoples' lack of economic and financial competence - of which there is a lot of at the moment as this country's supine population has become so dependent on the state doing their thinking for them.

Just like teen knife crime - no solutions, just spin.  

Answer 7

A real Labour f*ck up - 3 day working weeks, power cuts every afternoon and evening, the dead left unburied, rubbish not being collected for weeks - oops!  it's started already!

Answer 8

Labour has dug us a deep hole and now we have to lay in it , It is said that people get the government they deserve old Mr Churchill was a wise old man with foursite and wisdom and an understanding of the human Psyche. Boy i wish he was around now we are going to need somebody like him in the near future very badly. And the worry is i see no financial wizard on the political horizon to  dig us out of this hole.Only a bunch of self seeking buffoons.

Answer 9

Do not be fooled, this statement by Darling is no confession! Its part of a deliberate strategy to try and manipulate the electorate.

It works like this,

The electorate look to the Government to do two things, deliver pleasure and avoid pain, with positive or negative strategies.Their incompetence has got us in deep doo dah, an election looms and they know thet are going to be trounced unless they can pull something out of the hat.

They cant make things better, they are incompetent, so they ensure things get worse as they predicted and effectively cut themselves some slack,they are clever because they foretold it, but they also avoid any reference to the fact they caused it! This way the electorate forget the cause and focus on the depth of doo dah.

The election gets closer, things are engineered to get worse and at the appropriate moment along comes Brown or Darling, as Saint George on white charger and saves the day.Withdrawing the actions causing the grief, and lo and behold, its election time. Who is our saviour? Why of course the dynamic duo!

Its a well known political tactic and I fear the electorate will fall for it.
