We had 14 years of Labour that ruined the economy of the UK  but memories are so short that mostly the same Labour shadow cabinet that almost bankrupted the UK economy is now seen as capable of making everything OK again.

Why?? It doesn’t make any sense! The last Conservative government before Blair and the ruinous 14 years of Labour, worked wonders with the UK economy.

Blair came into power with the ‘Golden Inheritance’ from the Conservatives and kept the same economic policies as the Conservatives had for nearly 5 years.

Why? Because they worked!! Then their socialist instincts took over and they started their ruinous spending spree and when they ran out of cash they started to borrow.

That is why the UK economy is in the appalling state that it is!

The Conservatives are getting attacked because they have the task of cleaning up Labour’s mess. People may not like some of the actions that they have taken but that is no reason to go back to having Labour in power. We know that they will fail. We know that they will sign us up into the Euro.

The UK has a fair chance of ending up in a serious recession just because of the appalling way in which Labour ran our economy for many years. To bring Labour back into power would, in my view, guarantee the UK going into recession.

We might not be well off as a country now but if we end up with an economy being controlled by the IMF then people really will suffer. Just look at what Greece and Ireland are going through!!!

It is a fallacy to believe that ‘soaking the rich’ would make any real difference at all. Again a consequence of 14 years of a Labour government, the rich are able to move money abroad, be paid abroad and manipulate their finances to legally minimize tax.

These financial dealings that benefit the rich have gone too far! People do object strongly to what is simply legal tax avoidance. It is not right that the rich can benefit in this way. There have always been ways for companies and the rich to minimize tax. But this ‘legal’ tax avoidance has gone too far. But, again, the huge increase in people avoiding tax legally, is a consequence of the 14 years of Labour in power!

It didn’t become a problem just because the Conservatives became the government!

I would like to see all the cabinet and the shadow cabinet come clean about any tax avoidance schemes that they are using to minimize their tax payments to the UK.

I would like to see the Trade Union bosses doing the same. After all they ‘own’ the Labour government and have given themselves massive pay rises recently and various benefits. They strongly influence UK politics and it would be interesting to see how much of their members donations are spent on perks and  politics.

Unfortunately we also had an economic illiterate  government which appeared to have little understanding of how to run a country.

How any government could believed that simply spending money and incurring such massive debts was actually a credible economic policy is beyond me.

Labour must have had so many warnings from the civil servants and the government advisers and completely ignored them all.

In my view their actions bordered on criminal negligence!

Yet the majority of the labour ministers are now in the shadow cabinet and are actively campaigning against the economic measures required to sort out the mess the UK economy is in.

Does Labour like the idea that most people in the UK are suffering from the economic policies required to sort out their mess? Or are they so controlled by the unions, who after all own the Labour party, that they are not allowed to approve of financial policies that are designed to fix the UK economy abut but would reduce the standards of living for the union members?

Of course the UK economy will also collapse and the IMF will have to come in (as they did before to a Labour government who couldn’t live within the countries finances).

If we do not manage our spending then the UK economy will resemble the Greece economy and the impact on everyone in the UK would be huge!

In that situation the NHS would be forced to operate on a significantly reduce budget!! We have to cut the costs of the NHS and make the necessary changes so that the UK can afford to pay for it.

It does not mean that we will have a worse NHS! We just have to make it more efficient and cost the taxpayers less. Of course this is a concept that Labour does not understand!!

It all very well needing people to spend more to help the economy, but the banks will just keep increasing interest rates to benefit themselves!

There still won’t be much money for households to spend more!!

The best thing for the economy is for the banks to reduce interest rates! But there is no way that they will because they only care about their profits! Banks have become parasites on the consumers of our nation!

But I did not expect the Labour party to actually agree!!

Ed Miliband has admitted Labour is to blame for undermining the ethics of British society.

The Labour leader conceded yesterday that the moral decay which David Cameron has blamed for the looting occurred on Tony Blair and Gordon Brown’s watch.

He admitted: ‘We did better at rebuilding the fabric of our country than the ethic of our country.’

But in his most provocative comments on the causes of the riots, Mr Miliband claimed that the mayhem of the last week was partly caused by poverty, an argument already made by his deputy Harriet Harman.

‘We have got to ask why do we have people in our society who feel that the way they can get on and the right thing to do is go and nick the telly, engage in the kind of looting we saw,’ he said. ‘We have got to avoid simplistic answers. There’s a debate some people are starting: is it culture, is it poverty and lack of opportunity? It’s probably both.’

Polls show that the public rejects claims from left-wing politicians that poverty and cuts causes lawbreaking.

One survey this week found that just 8 per cent of voters believe the Government’s cuts were to blame for the riots.

Mr Miliband said the riots showed young people have no ‘sense of right and wrong’ and sought to claim the rioters were the same as bankers. ‘It’s about irresponsibility, wherever we find it in our society.’

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!!!

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!!!

But it is blatantly obvious to everyone, except those with a separate agenda, that Clegg could NOT expect the Conservatives to adopt all the LibDem policies.

The Libdems are lucky to get ANY of their policies adopted – they could not get into power on their own!

But note that the leaders of these protests were at first all carrying socialist and trade union banners.

These are the people who started the protest and they are simply trying to attack the Conservative government by damaging the coalition.

Many of those well-intended students are politically naive and have been taken advantage of by the socialists.

Put the blame for this chaos where it really belongs, that is on the trade unions and Labour.

Blair got the country to vote for him on personalities not politics.Labour did not seem to have any idea of what to do once they were in power!

The result was that Labour almost ruined the UK economy and put the UK into serious debt.

We almost went the way of the Irish economy. The election came just in time for the Conservatives to halt the inevitable economic crash that Labour overspending would have caused!

The new Labour leadership are mostly the same bunch that almost destroyed the UK economy.

How can anyone ever expect them to behave differently in the future?
