Cameron did the right for one reason and one reason only.
The Euro zone (not the EU itself) wanted to finance itself by taxing the UK financial industry!!! We are not in the Euro zone. It is inconceivable that this should be allowed to happen.
The UK needs to tax the UK financial industry for the benefit of the UK!!
The Euro zone is a major disaster waiting to happen. It is a stupid idea for so many diverse nations to have a single currency – it just cannot work anywhere except in the imaginations of politicians who want to benefit from the power (and money) that such an organisation would give them!
I find it sad that the Libdems have lost the plot so completely that they would give away the inevitable tax on the UK financial industry and not be bothered about the need for this money to help the UK economy!!!
The Lib Dems have a strange idea of what is in the best interests of the United Kingdom!

So Cameron has not committed the UK to paying billions in order to keep the Euro zone from collapsing into obscurity! Much of the media in the UK has portrayed this as some sort of political disaster!
But the UK is not a member of the Euro zone.
Why on earth is it a problem that the UK is not giving £70 million (estimates vary) to the Eurozone to keep it going!!
It seems to me that the UK press simply reports the negative and potential problems of any story because this sort of news is more dramatic and sells mores papers!
Cameron has done the right thing. I think that Labour, judging from their actions whilst in power, would have given the Euro zone anything they asked for!

I find the reporting by Sky to be a bit severe on the Home Secretary.
I would expect Labour to present everything in a negative way and totally ignore their own failure to have secure UK borders whilst in power for 14 years! And they did not disappoint me!!
The crux of the matter would seem to be that Clark told his boss that he had exceeded ministerial instructions. That is why his boss (Whiteman) suspended him.
Everything else is smoke and mirrors and political opportunity by Labour.
It is also interesting to have revealed how badly Labour had managed(!) the UK border security whilst they were in power!

Some people are attacking the current government over the UK economy. They tend not to mention at all the huge mess that 14 years of Labour has caused the UK.
The trade unions are complaining about the UK economy. Strange that – they obviously expect people not to know the the Trade Unions own the Labour party and are therefore themselves responsible for the awful state of our economy!
Labour even took over with the ‘golden inheritance’ and Labour still spent all the money and left the UK population with massive debts to pay off!
Do people expect the current government to continue to spend money as the last lot did?
I am not well off! Should I keep borrowing and to hell with the consequences?
Should I cheat and steal from people who have got the things that I want? Should I try to con someone else out of their possessions?
Of course some people in the UK are well off. Best of luck to them. I hope they choose to spend their wealth to help others. But it would be wrong to make them do this!
Many people in the UK are suffering because of the actions of the last government. I just hope that we don’t go the way of Greece!!!

It looks like Milliband is finally acknowledging the tremendous done to the UK economy by the 14 years of the last Labour government!
Milliband is right. We cannot afford pay increases and new hospitals and schools etc.
I think that it is shameful that the trade unions are calling for strikes and militant activity in order to get more money for themselves! It was Labour, who are OWNED by the trade unions, who messed up our country.
If the trade unions want fairness then everyone who voted Labour in the last election should have a pay cut!!!

I never understood why the Labour government took 15,000 trained and qualified police off the work of policing our streets and giving them desk jobs!
They seemed to then employ more people to become police and spent loads of our money training them.
Surely it would seem to have been more sensible to have left the trained police doing their job, which is policing, and trained the newcomers to be admin staff.
It would certainly have been cheaper!!!
But I never understood why Labour did much of what they did. I thought that their policies were mostly rubbish then, and since Labour were chucked out of power it has become obvious that I was right!!
I would guess that this is why Cameron can claim to be able to reduce police staffing and still have more police on the streets (and hopefully fewer trained police in admin roles!).

The true legacy of Labour is becoming more clear as time goes on.
The focus has been on the complete mess that they made of our economy.
The total waste of tax payers money has left the UK with so much debt that we simply cannot afford to properly care for those in need – there are just so many of them now!
But what did the education system do to our youth? Labour policies made ‘adults’ out of children. They introduced a massive divide between adults and children.
Labour policies taught children that they had the ‘right” to behave as they wanted, that they could do as they wanted and that adults / parents / authorities had no right to tell them what to do!
We now have a lawless sub-class in our society – ruined and damaged children who will mostly grow up to be ruined and damaged adults.

Ed Milliband is apparently wondering where Labour go from here!
It is clear from events over the last 40 years that Labour stands for one thing only. That is the desire/need to spend all the UK’s money and to tax us all significantly more simply because Labour needs to keep spending!
This urge to SPEND is at the heart of Labour. Just look at history!
Either the IMF come in to fix the economy following a Labour government OR the Conservatives have to sort out the UK economy which a subsequent Labour government simply bankrupts again!
People might not mind this inbuilt desire for Labour to bankrupt us every time they are in power IF we got some long term benefits from it. But we don’t!!
In fact we are nearly always left far worse off financially following a Labour government!
Note to Ed Milliband: The problem that you have is that Labour almost bankrupted the UK last time in power and it will be difficult to exceed this achievement when you next get into power.
But I am sure that the next Labour government will find a way!!!

I abhor the very idea of the European Union and that we should pay for another countries incompetence in running their own economy! The Greeks appear to have totally mismanaged their economy and deserve what they are going through! But I am also aware that the UK economy is also in a perilous state following 10 years of a Labour government. If our economy collapses as has happened in Greece, would the rest of the EU refuse to help us financially on the basis that it was self-inflicted damage by Brown, Darling and the last Labour government?

The unions and the Labour party need to learn the financial lessons that Greece is now going through! Labour totally messed up the UK economy in their time in power!!
Yet the unions, who own labour, want to have their cake and eat it!!
The unions striking for more money and less cuts is so, so cynical. The Labour party caused the financial problems in the UK yet they don’t want any consequences of their own actions to affect themselves and their members.
The trade union members did not cause the problems BUT they voted for the people who did! The cuts have to be made or the UK will go the way of Greece. Doesn’t anyone in Labour remember the consequences of the IMF running the UK after a previous Labour government bankrupted the UK economy?
I hate this greedy, selfish attitude of the trade unions. As long as they are OK it doesn’t matter what happens to anyone else!!!
