So the Tories now say they are not going to make drastic cuts to public spending in the short term. I suppose we should welcome this return to some sort of sanity – but it isn’t what they were saying just a few weeks ago. It is though yet another example of how they make completely wrong calls on every major economic decision they would have had to make had they been in government.
Should we have saved the bank? No, then yes, umm maybe – whatever he says. Car scrappage scheme – just a gimmick. Cuts in VAT – no difference, apart from their old mate Ken Clarke said it was, but can’t make up his mind whether he ever said that or not. Big government – BOOO to that they say – umm…unless that’s the big government that saved their banker friends jobs.
With Dave and George in charge we would have seen bank failures, savings wiped out, the economy in free fall – really, they just don’t have a clue. It’s no joke. It goes without saying the economy is pretty serious stuff at the end of the day. You can’t just make it up as you go along, and things don’t just happen anyway. We simply can’t afford to risk it here. Its our homes, and our savings that are on the line here.
Polls show that people in Witney barely fear repossessions or losing their job compared to this time last year. Thats the kind of confidence we need. We musn’t risk it for a lightweight party, with lightweight policies, that can’t even make their sums add up.
