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 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 they didn’t and we are all in a very difficult mess now, which can only become worse as time goes on!

Milliband has made the credibility of his leadership of the Labour party worse by bringing in many of the last failed government as shadow ministers.

Who can believe that they could succeed in the future when they have such a track record of failure already!

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!!!

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 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.

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!!!

The comments  tend not to be at all constructive, simply slagging off cameron or clegg or the conservatives in general.

These people all have short memories – it was the Labour government that so messed up our economy that the UK  needs to cut costs which means some public services need to be reduced.

The coalition government is not cutting services for fun! It has to be done to avoid the same fate as Ireland suffered and Portugal has now fallen into.

Being taken over by the IMF has a dramatic affect on the public services on the country.  The UK has avoided this disaster so far.

Remember the IMF taking over a failed UK economy before? That was a Labour government – they seem to make a habit of almost bankrupting UK economies!
