  1. Thats the sort of clear blue sky thinking that wins my confidence CT should send him his Terrence the Tory story for him to use.
  2. please feel free to merge into another thread. Wasn't sure if it was a better fit for the Politics or Israel thread or neither. Not to mention global warming leading to mass flooding/drinking water shortages and the mass emigration that will lead to. We're doomed

  4. The point is we are being force fed the lie there is no alternative, when there plainly is. You might beleive it is the best way, and as a Tory you obviously do, thats fair enough. It doesn't make it necessarily correct though No it isn't guarenteed - citing it ignores the global financial situation as mentioned ad nauseum in this thread. If it was guarenteed there might have been a mention of it before this weekend. That I can agree with - not exactly happily though
  5. Krugman railing against austerity again today.... http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/06/0...n-in-authority/ He'd earlier noted... http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/06/0...e-here-we-come/ But what about the evidence of the canadian model -surely irrefutable
  6. Those fucking Vuvuzelas are going to ruin this World Cup
  7. Im citing it because it worked. duh! as for 'wanting' something that'll take longer and cause more hardship, thats nonsense. nobody wants it least of all me (or even those making the decisions) but imo (and those making the decision) its necessary as its been proven to work unlike your fancy dan plan to spend more in the hope that'll it'll drag us out of depression/recession. what happens if it doesnt actually drag us out of recession hmmmm? more debt - more shit Quite frankly the last govs financial planning was a shambles so i would have no truck with the figures they trotted out to support such an argument.

Nobody is suggesting sponding more you muppet. If we freeze spending and grow the economy at 2 -2.5% a year the defecit would be paid off in 5 years. Also a minor point but the economy is actually growing already -it wont be for much longer mind.
  9. To put it another way, if the typical household outspent its means like the government's doing, it would be spending more than £26,800 with an income of £20,500. A hard one to debate on the bat phone in the car without figures, but I guess that's a comparison to the budget defecit and not the debt so in reality it's a loan to keep up on a loan. Your family has already raked up thousansd worth of debt and now can't keep up with the payments or the food shopping so is going to billy the loan shark for an extra 7,000 a year to try and keep up. All the while your familys breadwinner is Hoping his ship is going to come in and that big promotion is around the corner. A few years down the line his ship hasn't docked, his debt has kept on growing horifically, he's now paying really sill interest rates and Billy the loan shark wants his money back. No one else will lend him anything, he loses his teeth, his wife, his kids and ends up supping cider at mill dam...... If only he listened to his neighbour, Terrence the Tory and cut his spending habits back in the day! I prefer it when you cut and paste from google
  10. To put it another way, if the typical household outspent its means like the government's doing, it would be spending more than £26,800 with an income of £20,500. What if the 27k was spent on a life saving operation? That was supposed to counter CT, not support him. AFAIC borrowing £6k in a year on a £20k income isn't particularly unmanageable once you bounce out of recession....that's the ONLY way to recover.....the problem is deep cuts are going to prolong the recession and fuck us all over. This this, fucking this. I honestly don't think they have a clue what they are doing, and I don't think they care. They were horribly wrong about how to deal with the sub prime crisis, and I honestly am terrified about the damage they are about to cause now. i disagree. you are coming from the perspective that increased spending will actually bring us out of recession when there is no absolute guarantee that it will. however, cutting costs now WILL WORK. it'll take longer and cause more hardship but as evidenced by the canadian model it will work. either way, we're all in the shit! I didnt say increased spending will bring us out of recession, I agreed that deep cuts would plunge us back into recesiion. You however said that cutting costs WILL WORK and used capitals, so you must be right. I am also confused by why you would want a solution that Love the way you are citing the Canadian model

  13. On twitter. That's Unreal. that can't be right! I know hes good but he cant be that good, you've got to start somewhere wiki says
  14. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/8696559.stm Credit where it's due. Can't help but agree with Richard Herring. Following the scrapping of ID cards and the new runway at Heathrow he pointed out... "It appears the new right wing government is going to be more left wing than the old left wing government, and yet left wing people are mourning the loss of a right wing left wing government, even though it is possible the new right wing government is more left wing. The first thing any new Labour leader should try is possibly to make their party more left wing than the Tories again....and if that's not too much to ask, possibly more left wing than the Liberal Democrats too." A bit daft to come to such conclusions so early based on a couple of policies. As for Heathrow, what does that have to do with political persuasion. To scrap runway three is just fucking stupid, end of. Environmental policies are frequently seen as a bit lefty liberal like. And protecting leafy southern villages is Conservative. I do admit though that the Daily Mail must be howling at the moon about the coalition! My core position of disagreeing with everything the Daily Mail believes is leaving me in a very disorientated and unhappy place atm
