Re: reasons to hate the tories

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it's an open secret that this already goes on and has done for many years at a complex in the wonderfully-named Blubberhouses.

I forget now exactly...

Re: reasons to hate the tories

Busy old time in the village at the moment, plus I've been asked to chip in with Baxenden as much as I can. No time for national stuff right now....

To come back to your original question,...

Re: reasons to hate the tories

Unfortunately, that is Tory policy and seemingly always has been.

'The gap between the rich and the poor...any chance of making that a bit wider, old boy?'

Re: reasons to hate the tories

The only Tories we seem to have left are Jaysay ('13 years of Labour rule....zzzzzz') and Andrew 'Straight Answer' B.

I can't wait for this.

Re: reasons to hate the tories

George Osborne hinted yesterday that the 37% increase was a mandatory requirement from Europe.

It's time to reappraise this European Ideal and start looking after our own. Not exactly the...

Re: reasons to hate the tories

I'm not disagreeing with cuts and neither are Labour but I think you better go and double check the timescales that have been put forward because Gordon Brown was saying that Conservative proposals...

Re: reasons to hate the tories

Few would disagree that spending reviews are required but the speed and severity of the Conservative cuts is the main bone of contention.

Labour recognised the problems and had planned a slow...

Re: reasons to hate the tories

Following my terrible faux-pas, I'll concede immediate defeat over my accusations that the Hyndburn Tories are about to leave us with a debt-ridden council, the full scale of which is not yet known....

Re: reasons to hate the tories

Chipping in a few quid following a natural disaster is one thing but ringfencing it and then giving millions to places such as India with their own space program is not my idea of charity.

Would you care to put up a case for the defence, preferably without referring to a Labour administration cocking things...

Re: reasons to hate the tories

That's my fear for Hyndburn and no one is listening.

At the moment we have sufficient money which could be better spent.

Peter Britcliffe knows full well there is a reasonable possibility...

I can't defend that because you're right and current governments should learn from the past in order to avoid the same mistakes but pointing the finger and saying 'Labour has forced this on us' won't...

Re: reasons to hate the tories

Maybe not in rude health but at least fighting to keep unemployment under control. The Armed Forces' death of 47,000 cuts yesterday was only the start, I fear.

My main concern in a political role...

Re: reasons to hate the tories

Yet other economists are saying it is too much too soon, with Scotland even wondering whether it can afford to be part of the Union anymore.

Cuts need to be made, I'm not disagreeing John, but...

Re: reasons to hate the tories

The point is that the Tories, the ones pulling the strings despite all this facade of a coalition, are punishing the country in a terrible way for what the banks have done to us so they can give the...

Re: reasons to hate the tories

Maybe so, but slow and steady is better than knee-jerk reactionary tactics that are likely to bring the edifice crashing down. The cuts are generally in the right areas but they're incredibly harsh...

Whatever our views of Mrs Thatcher she was a milestone figure in the history of Great Britain and didn't acquire the tag 'The Iron Lady' for nothing.
