Trade Unionists are selfish and greedy people.
The trade unions own the Labour party! It was Labour that destroyed the UK economy and put us all in a mess.
Yet the trade unions members (those that are taking industrial action) are too selfish to suffer the consequences of Labour’s incompetence in government!
They want more money and bigger pensions when the country cannot afford to pay them.
Perhaps we should link people’s pensions and pay to the way that they vote at a general election!!

Would the EU support the UK economy if required?
Posted by michael on June 25, 2011
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?

Don’t blame the messenger!
Posted by michael on February 4, 2011
Labour broke ALL of its election promises to the people of the UK with its inept and incompetent management of the UK economy under Brown.
The dreams and plans of so many people and families in our country went down the plughole with our economy!
Higher costs, lower incomes, damaged lives – all the legacy of the New Labour term in power.
Don’t blame those who are having to repair the damage that was done by the last government.

The true state of the UK economy has been revealed!
Posted by michael on June 7, 2010
There are still Labour supporters saying that we must maintain the same level of spending on public services!!
These dinosaurs of economic thinking do not seem to understand that the UK simply does not have the money to spend on these high levels of public sector jobs and services.
All public sector jobs are paid for through the taxes of everyone in the UK.
Both Darling and ‘call me prudent Brown’ simply borrowed the money to pay for their public sector improvements. Anyone who thinks that this practice could go on and on is not being sensible!
How Labour thought that they could get away with it is staggering! It was always going to end in a financial crash and/or the IMF coming in to run the economy (as has happened before with Labour in power!)
Labour, new or otherwise, have shown themselves to be unfit for government, especially whilst they have ministers from the Brown government in the Labour party!
There are even Labour supporters still saying that we must maintain the same level of spending on public services!!
These dinosaurs of economic thinking do not seem to understand that the UK simply does not have the money any more to spend on these high levels of public sector jobs and services.

All the ministers from the discredited New Labour government are tainted with its failure!
Posted by michael on May 16, 2010
It is my view that none of the ministers from the last failed Labour government are fit to be the leader of the Labour party!
They are all responsible for being part of what has probably been the worst Labour government of modern times.
Brown and Darling will take more of the blame and responsibility by virtue of their positions in the government.
But all the senior ministers have been part of a government which has almost bankrupted the UK, taken us to unnecessary wars and brought our economy to its knees.
What short memories they have!!
How can any of these people have any credibility with any financial policies that they may want to promote.
They are all already tainted with a message of financial failure and will carry this message of failure for the rest of their lives!

Labour: prepare for election in 6 months!!!
Posted by michael on May 12, 2010
Labour won’t want to come back into power until the massive mess that they have made of our economy has been resolved.
Brown, Darling and New Labour have hidden exactly how bad the economic mess is that they have dumped on us!
But we will all know soon the state of our economy. We are going to have to pay increased taxes, have reduced services and the costs of everything is going to have to go up and up and up!
The term ‘New Labour’ will become a derisory phrase amongst our population as people remember every time they pay a bill, or buy something, or get a utility bill etc. that thanks to ‘New Labour’, they are having to pay more money out whilst receiving less income and/or less benefits. An age of austerity beckons thanks to New Labour!
I don’t think that New Labour will dare go for an election until the financial mess is all sorted out and the people are feeling comfortable with their lives.
So that could be as much as 10 years in the wilderness for New Labour!

Conservative and Libdem coalition government
Posted by michael on May 12, 2010
We effectively have a coalition government now.
It means that the two parties need to make some compromises of their policies to avoid friction. But that happens anyway within a single government!!
The Conservatives have a left and a right wing which have to work together.
New Labour have Blairites and Brownites who have to work together!
So the idea of rifts and splits with the government is no more than happens in every government!
But I also see this as an equivalent to the war-time coalition government of 1945. We have serious financial problems with the UK close to bankruptcy and the risk of the IMF coming in to run the UK.
So, excluding Labour because they caused the problems by a lack of thrift and what I see as the worst government and the worst prime minister in modern times, the coalition of the Conservatives and the Libdems will be more than competent in resolving the financial mess inherited from Brown!

Liberals want electoral reform
Posted by michael on May 8, 2010
Of course the Liberals want electoral reform. They are a small political party without that much support in the UK.
They have a reasonable amount of support but not as much as the two main parties. So why do they want political power which exceeds the size of the party itself?
The political power is in the two larger parties and, strangely enough, there are many, many more citizens of the UK who are members and/or supporters of the two larger parties.
I am concerned that many people are now proclaiming the praises of the LibDems, just because they are comparing the TV performances of three individuals.
An idiot savant could stand up neatly dressed in front of a TV audience and say exactly the right things and come over as a pleasant human being and end up being elected to run the country. Is this what we want? To measure potential prime ministers by their abilities to perform on TV and to select them on that basis?

Gordon Brown – power at any cost!!
Posted by michael on May 8, 2010
Gordon Brown – power at any cost!! He has lost the election but is not man enough to resign.
He must be able to see the damage that New Labour have done to the UK over the last 14 years.
I have no doubt that Brown is the worst leader that the UK has had in modern times.
Brown has a reputation of being ‘strong on the economy’. Where did this come from? Why does anyone believe it?
Brown started power with the Golden Inheritance from the last Conservative government and has turned a strong UK economy into a basket case in 14 years!
The UK economy now has huge debts which are going to take years to pay off. We are all going to heavily taxed in everything we do or buy. We have years of austerity ahead of us. Our economy is being mentioned in the same sentences as Greece (and not as an example of what a good economy should be).’
Brown is ‘capable of managing our economy’ – no, Brown has proven that he is not able to manage the UK economy. The proof is all around you!!!

UK’s ‘very high’ public debt presents ‘challenge’ to the EU
Posted by michael on May 5, 2010
This is what Gordon Brown has refused to tell people. The perilous state of the UK economy has been ignored by Gordon Brown during this election. Yet it is probably the most important topic of the whole election.
Gordon Brown has hidden the true state of the UK economy from us.
New figures from the European Commission revealed today that the UK budget deficit will outstrip any country in the EU this year – including Greece.
European Commissioner Olli Rehn warned that the UK’s ‘very high’ public debt presents ‘by far the first and foremost challenge’ to the winner of tomorrow’s general election.
We are prime candidates to go the same way as Greece and need to be bailed out by the IMF.
This is why Labour do not deserve to get back into power!!
