Of course Cameron has to try to stop these abusive banks preying on their customers for the benefit of the bank bosses!!
But it isn’t easy to do.
I had to laugh at the idea of milliband painting himself as ‘the champion of the 99% who don’t get bonuses’!!! This whole greed of massive bonuses and massive salaries and pensions originated from the Blair/Brown governments.
Just look at the Trade Union officials and their pay and bonuses – hardly representing the working class! In fact the working class has been just that under Labour who have acted as most Socialist governments in the world have done – the rich (themselves) get richer and the poor get poorer!
Milliband can say whatever he wants – I see him as a caretaker Labour leader. When the next election is approaching then I expect him to be dumped and be replaced.

There can no longer be any doubt that the New Labour government of Brown and Blair has been the worst government that the UK has had in modern times.
Governments are supposed to serve the people, but New Labour do not seem to have considered the needs of the people at all!!
Almost everything they have done whilst in power is about them. Even though the UK had run out of money because of the ruinous policies of New Labour, government ministers still went on a spending spree after they knew that they were going to be thrown out of government!
How could any minister sanction spending sprees at the end of their term in government when they knew how bad the debt situation was.
I would like to see an investigation into what happened in the last few months of the New Labour government. One reason why this is necessary is that several of these Labour ministers are trying to elected as the new Labour leader. We should know now whether they are fit and competent people to potentially be in government again!

One thing that happens in this world is that hypocrisy is exposed for all to see!
The BP oil leak clearly fits into this category. It does look like BP may have finally got some control over the leak. It is not certain that the cap will seal the leak but it seems to have a good chance of working. It is of course a temporary measure and will allow time for the relief wells to by completed which is the permanent fix.
But the politics is interesting. Obama is getting a bad press on this issue. The American public is rightly very upset with the environmental disaster in their midst.
But I do accuse Obama and the American government and the American press of pure hypocrisy!! Remember the Union Carbide gas leak in Mumbai in India in 1984?
The release of this gas killed 5,000 people that night and 15,000 more in the following few weeks!
This site has still not been cleared up after 23 years, and there are many children still being born with birth defects every year.
It would be good if this environmental disaster in America reminded the American public and Government that they have not yet dealt with the plight of thousands in Mumbai.
The Americans don’t like what has happened to them! Yet they don’t seem to care what an American company did in Mumbai! It seems to be a case of ‘Hypocrisy Rules!‘.

It appears that Gordon Brown, our unelected leader, is going to impose a change of our voting system without a referendum. In other words Brown appears to be so desperate to remain in power that he is giving away our civil rights to enforce a change of the electoral system on the people of the UK.
I don’t believe Brown has any real intention to resign because he always qualified the statements about resigning. Brown, an unelected leader himself, is making our democracy look like it came from North Korea or Iran!
Even Labour supporters should be worried about the total disregard of our civil rights. Will the people of the UK be allowed to protest in the streets about the removal of our civil rights?

The Bank of England Governor Mervyn King is absolutely right. The UK financial mess is huge.
Labour have cynically hidden the true state of the UK’s finances from us during the election campaign.
They are desperate to get back into power so that they can keep the pretence going that that Labour are capable of running the UK economy!
But the huge financial mess that we are in is the best reason of all to dump this lousy government and replace it with a Conservative government.
I would then like to see Cameron going public with the full state of the UK finances. Then we would all know how big the problem (challenge) is for Cameron to deal with.

Front-line staff in the National Health service will have to pay the cost of the NHS budgets cuts. What else can the NHS do? Close hospitals? Sell the beds? They are already selling some of the drugs that patients need!
The NHS bosses will have to cut staff to match their budgets when the money Brown is currently pouring into the NHS dries up. They have no choice.
The problem is that this money pouring into the NHS from Brown and New Labour is borrowed money, it is simply more and more debt for us all to pay back in increased taxes.
Labour have almost bankrupted the UK. There is no money left! We are all going to have to pay extra taxes for years to come. Every child born in our hospitals carries a debt of £17,000 of extra tax that they will have to pay in their lifetime, in addition to all their other taxes!
Gordon Brown and New Labour decided to put us all in massive debt in order to try to buy victory in the election.
As far as I am concerned they have put themselves and their own interests before the interests of the people of the UK. They have saddled us with huge debts for a generation . Do we really want such a selfish and greedy bunch of people running the UK?

Amazing how many people are prepared to state what Cameron and the Conservatives are going to do next. Some sort of gift of prophecy?
Yet they forget all that Brown and New Labour have actually done, stuff that is all documented, it is in fact history.
How can anyone expect Brown and the rest of New Labour to do anything different than they have already done.
We have a major financial meltdown in progress. We are going to be taxed to the hilt and beyond just to pay the huge debts we have incurred. The UK economy now is almost on the same level as Greece!
IF Brown and New Labour could have run the UK better than they have managed to do, then I would suggest that they would have done better.
What we have seen in the financial meltdown is the best that Brown and New Labour can manage to do!
Their best is nowhere near good enough. That is why they should be out of power ASAP.

Of course Brown knew about this shameful manipulation of the elderly and the vulnerable by Labour campaigning.
When Cameron challenged him on TV, Brown simply did not deny it. His words were carefully chosen to give the impression of denial but he did not answer well enough.
Brown simply did not deny knowing about this smear campaign. He could have said many things such as ‘I did not know about this’, ‘I am not aware of this’ etc.
Instead Brown said ‘I did not authorise it‘. In anybodies language that was an admission that he knew what was going on.

Is Brown still the New Labour leader now? Or has he been sidelined because of his failures in running the UK economy and his inability to communicate with the public.
In the live debate last night Brown insisted he had not ‘authorised any leaflets like that’, referring to the campaign of lies about the Conservatives policy for the elderly.
So why has Brown not come out publicly denouncing these lies being spread in his name and publicly admonishing those who are involved in this campaign?
Brown is meant to be the New Labour leader, yet he apparently does not have enough power or authority to ban this campaign of lies taking place in his name!!
Brown claims that he had not ‘authorised’ any leaflets like that, but this is a meaningless statement really. It does not exclude Brown from knowing about the content of these leaflets or even being involved in writing the contents of these leaflets. ‘ All Brown has said is that he has not authorised the leaflets!

More than three million older people will be forced to wait up to five years for their free bus pass after a ‘sneaky’ rule change.
Who does this sneaky, disgusting bit of politics, actually hurt the most? The answer is the elderly.
These people have paid their taxes over many years, most have worked for over 40 years in the UK.
Yet Brown and Darling target them in this nasty bit of legislation just to save some money at the expense of the elderly.
Everybody should be very wary of everything that Brown and Darling do! It does not seem to me that they are serving the UK, rather that they are protecting themselves.
It just show how deep in trouble the UK is after 13 years of Brown and Darling, and how far they will go to protect themselves at the expense of the UK population.
