At last some honesty about the economy
The Conservatives are certainly taking a brave step, by setting out the facts of the situation, that have been well documented elsewhere. There is a mountain of government over spend to deal with, and they are warning that it will hurt. Gordon Brown , desperately, tried to to tell us everything would be godd and there would be a reduction in the debt, by more spending, which is self funding???
So what does it matter if we retire a year later, those currently in their 50′s anyway. If it does mean a better longer term pension, then it can only be good.
Cutting out waste is going to help, putting up taxes may have to happen, but that depends on how well the economy improves, and how new business can contribute tax on their profits.
The BBC in their carefully edited versions of events at the Tory conference, as usual managed to distort what was being said. I am sorry Gordon Brown, the media do decide elections. People do follow what they see in their papers and on the internet, as well as on their TV screens, and the point you seem to miss is that the messages , such as in the Sun newspaper, are repeated in all the various new forms of news media, which will only serve to drive home the message, “don’t vote for Gordon (Gone Bust) Brown, the self proclaimed saviour of the Global economies of the world”.
So what if David Cameron was handed a glass of bubbly, these things happen at receptions, where you are an invited guest. No-one really cares if he drinks champagne, surely. Quite frankly, I can’t stand the stuff…much rather have a nice glass of red wine, any day.
