At least someone's enjoying the downturn...

This wasn't a mischievous video, it was a brilliant one, on a par with the 'Downfall' spoof. Thanks for the laughs, Gordon, you smug prat. You're every bit as funny as Bruno Ganz with subtitles.

Pete Hoskin

seb: I meant mischievous in a good way!

There really is only one word that adequately sums up New Labour.

Scum.

Gordon Musgo-soon

Why didn't CCO do this?

They do nothing to deserve to win, useless bastards.

Peter Hoskin -
I know. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It hadn't occurred to me just how easy it's going to be to get 'The Moron' hoist by his own petard come the election.

PS - has anyone heard rumours of a May 2009 election? Someone on Guido's site is claiming this is going to be the case and, what is most vomit-inducing, that Blair will be back on board next to Lord Manduja and, possibly, Blunkett.

You cruel people, Poor Gordon has never look so happy, look at his little face, bless.

@BBC Presenter - can't remember which one but could have been any of them to be honest.

Very good video Peter it gives short sharp messages that Brown and Nulabour are only interested in themselves and not ordinary people.

The flip-side needs to be emphisised showing how ordinary families are having a miserable time trying to cope because of Browns policies.

Excellent video maybe Ashcroft should fund it to be played in all cinemas.

Today we had a leader in the DT saying that taxes on savings should be lifted, we've had the money pages and money programmes pointing out how savers/pensioners/the prudent are being shafted by the interest rate cuts, we've had 3 good articles (by Lionel Shriver, Mary Dejevsky & R Clark) pointing out how the government is deliberately hurting the sensible to help the profligate. And from the Tories we hear what? I trained as an economist but as a working parent with savings and children who in a few years will be hoping to enter the labour market, I don't want to hear from Osborne about "automatic stabilisers". I want to know what he is going to do to help those who are being/have been sensible to keep more of their money so as to pay ever-increasing bills (the real inflation rate being something higher than the rate in La-La World which Gordon and the commentators seem to believe in) and not have those savings they've managed to accumulate expropriated through tax and/or inflation.

Why is it so difficult for them to get this point?

Seb - At third hand, a conservative Euro-MP recently explained to a local conference that his money was on an election in June 09.

Without going into too many whys and wherefores its a balance between a worsening recession and Gordon's latent ... "caution".

Sadly, what's obvious to coffeehousers isn't to a still significant proportion of the electorate: Guido features a Standards Committee report that although deeply distrusted, 1 in 5 of those canvassed still believe that government ministers tell the truth.

Presumably, if Mandelson said the world is flat and Polly or Maguire or Marr or Peston agreed, then the same 1 in 5 would accept the proposition.

Depressing.

seb

Kev G -
Thanks. This could explain Labour and the Tories going firm [or intimating they will] on tax. How much bunce, if any, did the Euro MP stake on a June 9th date, I wonder.

Gordon Musgo-soon

How can a tory euro mp know anything? Gordon will follow the Micawber plan, and the election will be on or near the very last day allowed.

To put this brilliant video in perspective what you have to do is imagine if a similar sized financial catastrophe had happened on John Major's watch c 1996.

Blair/Brown/Mandelson/Cambell would have murdered poor old Major and the fact that Gordon can be so jovial shows just how much confidence he has and how contemptuous he can be of the utter weakness of the Official Opposition on economic affairs.

It really is time many Coffee Housers finally woke up to just how poor an opposition Cameron and Osborne are.

Someone once said there are only 5 permanently negative people in the world. Do you happen to know where your 4 other colleagues are?

ps do you ever log onto leftie blogs to spend your good cheer and wisdom?, or does UKIP not see the parties that backtracked on Lisbon as their enemy.... Bizarre

TGF UKIP

Travis Bickle, as I have explained many times I have nowt to do with UKIP. I am simply gateful to them for providing a repository for my vote being, currently, the only conservative party in the UK.

Indeed, if you would care to look at their 20 point policy summary on their website you may find there is much with which you would agree.

Once the Cameron Blue Labour experiment is dumped and if the Tories become some sort of semblance of a conservative party I will be happy to vote for them again
