March 27th, 2010 12:47am Report this commentHow can you defend Darlings budget? It takes days to decipher and even when he knows that he is out, he has not got the balls to deliver a budget that is straight and honest.
The Liebore party have ruined the finances of this country and all you do is attack the Tories. Looking through the media there are lots of reasons to hate what was included in the budget. I am drawn to C Hopes Telegraph article on section 106 of the Postal Services Act 2000. In the name of tobacco trafficking our mail can now be intercepted without our permission. The powers apply to any contraband. It beggars belief. That is what you should be engaged and enraged about, this is real life not petty squabbling about defending a man who did not have the balls to look after our interests. He gave into the party line and told someones elses jokes for a cheap shot at the Tories. He is an irrelevance. He had his opportunity to show if he really had anything to offer and he blew it. He stood for them, not for us. He fails to clarify for the majority that the debt grows, and grows, and talks about the deficit. He then tells us that he has a bit more to spend because he did not borrow so much last month. It really is pathetic, and I find your defence of him abhorant.

March 27th, 2010 12:00pm Report this commentJust a note on the election date, the reason Brown has not called and put the date out is that once called, Liebore would have to spend Liebores Party money.
At present they are traveling around the country on our money.Doing their electioneering on our money. Just like Liebore.
