Yup, bring back those wonderful poverty ridden socialist cornflakes Blair, Brown (and Livingstone)! They really know how us paupers live. Why only last January, Blair received $300,000 plus expenses for a talk in Miami for US Finance company Alphamatrix. For ONE afternoon!! Right on - Blair's all in it together!
That breadline martyr Brown received £48,803 plus expenses for talking to the same bunch of moneyed arses for an hour in Monaco last September, for his 'economic expertise which can only help the company'
Within weeks of this, sadly, the company collapsed with debts of $2.8 million to investors having transferred funds to another company.
Still, thank goodness Blair and Brown got paid.
Bring back the Labour rice crispy candidate for Meridian. No, wait, that was The Rev Paul Flowers. Now he knows how us ordinary people feel.
Not voting Labour then!
Of course we're all going to vote Labour, we need another war in Iraq or Afghanistan to sort out the all unemployment!
Sorry who was the politician who slammed the brake on the West going into Syria?! Ed I believe
Never said it would, you won't hear me singing the praises of the previous regime. Tony Blair is a duplicitous cxxx who should swing for his betrayal so I'm not nailing my colours to the mast of any of the three main parties.
Just find it sickening that public sector workers have paid the highest price employment wise, both actual job losses and changes to terms and conditions, when the bastards who got us into this mess still live high on the trough.

How many times will you need telling before it sinks in, this recession is the LABOUR PARTIES RECESSION and all the pain that has to be endured to put it right is their fault, they made this. This recession has been ongoing for over five years and it's been on the telly in one shape or other every single day, did you really learn nothing from all of that?

I'll put the whiskey away now and go to bed
Not really true considering it was a world-wide recession. Unless Labour managed to screw up the world economy too...

I think it was tongue in cheek. But labour certainly didn't help this country with their economics (or lack of it).

Oh it's a Global recession - that's put me right. I never knew China, Russia, Korea, South Africa, Brazil, Argentina, Saudi Arabia and our neighbours Germany were in recession. Silly me.
I like and have voted for Boris but this latest speech is awful, bordering on social darwinism.
It's not aimed at you. It's the early stages of a leadership bid for June 2015. He's trying to make sure he has no challenge from the right of the party.
Boris is an interesting politicain. Like Farage and (to a lesser extent) Livingstone, he has managed to sound like he is a human being rather than an automatum. Whether you can do that as leader of a national party is another thing entirely.

Can't have a war, the Tories, sorry, the Coalition have cut the armed forces to the bone and their hopes of filling the void with TA volunteers have been dashed. We haven't got a war in us at the moment.
Unless you mean conscripting all the public sector employees who've found themselves at a 'loose end' since the cuts kicked in
No your right mate, what we should do is get the government to borrow more and more money and reemploy everybody. That'll work wont it?

Sorry who was the politician who slammed the brake on the West going into Syria?! Ed I believe
Yeah in his wet dreams
He withdrew support from the Government bill. This stopped the rush to war and resulted in the USA deviating not to go it alone - all in about four days. So like it or not, Ed stopped and invasion of Syria

Oh it's a Global recession - that's put me right. I never knew China, Russia, Korea, South Africa, Brazil, Argentina, Saudi Arabia and our neighbours Germany were in recession. Silly me.
This was considered a global financial crisis produced by investment bankers, chiefly in the USA , lending money upon the basis that property values would rise for ever and simultaneously using shadow companies to flout regulations regarding retention of sufficient capital to withstand difficulties. The problems with property values started in parts of the USA and concern quickly spread with many Banks being caught exposed.
Theses Banks rapidly drew in their horns since many of them were exposed directly or through investment. Credit was crunched which had a further adverse effect upon property and upon pretty well all companies who, even if successful, rely on credit.
All of this fed through to a type of recession not seen since the late 1920's. Of course the mistake of the Labour Government was not to have been prepared for such an eventuality and, along with the rest of the main UK parties, to allow the market to run with no effective regulation.
The initial response of capital spending and cuts in VAT was both effective and widely supported by the Conservatives and their leader until four months before the 2010 election campaign.
The initial recession was less severe and lengthy precisely because of this approach being adopted globally . The problems since being based upon premature ending so stimulus and introduction of austerity, plus the free market speculation of the bond markets.
So to suggest that the entire global recession was Labour fault is ridiculous. They rid make mistakes but they were I good company in that.
Before you ask, if an investment banker buys Charlton they are good guys who we should all be grateful for!
OMG you lefties are so gullible. First it's a Global recession, except it's not, then it's all the bankers fault, except they trade in an environment in which governance was provided by the then Labour government. I suggest you watch the link, where beloved Ed takes at least part of the blame. First time I've seen a semblances of truth about this from Labour.
Moreover if Labour had not got half the country working for the Government then we would have been out of this mess years ago. If you want to debate the financial crisis I suggest you do it on here.

Anyway I really don't see how any of that is the fault of Boris.
Never said it was! Just said he is annoying and he is! At Least Heath, Thatcher & Major were from ordinary backgrounds, not born into Eaton style privilege (As much as I usually disagreed with their politics).
Thank for the patronising dismissal of my arguments. The Right always like to categorise people – makes it less complex for them and therefore more understandable to their politics which are based in gut reaction rather than logic.
of course the Left never categorise anyone -- like the Last (please God) labour PM calling a labour supporter a bigot just because she mentioned the word IMMIGRATION-------they never use the term racist at the drop of a hat do they.
