Con/dems v Labour

setayas · 25-01-2011, 22:53

I was just wondering if anyone else is bored to deathwish with the title. For pities sake don't we need to fix things? Arguing about who did what, when and why doesn't start solving the problems. The global financial crisis was brought about by American banks! Get over it. Yes the LABOUR gvmnt borrowed too much but so did every gvmnt, blaming the other side may get you brownie points with your own team, but it won't the country out of a mess

the thing is the labour way was beginning to work.we had to spend money to prop up the economy and when we would have came out of recession we would have slowly paid it back,more than said the money we gave to ireland.even the head of the cbi who are usaully pro tory say the tories havent got a clue .theyve been saying big words till they came to the conclusion that half of the policies they said they were going to do are against the law..

theyve been in for 8 months and not a lot has been done except upset a few students.

Total agreement Cashy - 2 wars where we should not have been the puppy on his back hoping to get his belly rubbed. 13 years was it, to put things right from the Maggie & subsequent Tory years - they failed. Now we have the leaders (and the wife - the ugly one), flogging their talents around - even Prezzie is now doing TV adverts. Didn't they make enough while in office?
To my mind, they are all a bunch of greedy illegitimates, both sides of the chamber - in both Houses.

No ... not every gvmnt borrowed. The Government of Canada (a minority government, by the way, something you guys seem to be afraid of for some reason) didn't. The only money we paid out was to bail Chrysler and GM for guarantees to protect Canadian auto jobs. And it looks like we are going to make a profit on that deal. If your banks had been subject to regulation, as ours are under the Bank Act, you would have weathered the storm a helluva lot better. Apart from layoffs in Oshawa and Windsor ... auto industry areas (and most of those workers are back at work) ... we didn't have much of a recession. That's because our govt., and it is a tory govt. kept in check by virtue of being in a minority position for five years, takes care of Canada and Canadians first.

Perhaps cmonstanley has won an advertising contract, and is planning a parody of the famous Saatchi campaign, which helped secure Thatcher's victory in 1979.
