Economy going down the pan???

Despite assurances to the contrary, seems 'our' economy is not as strong as Osborne would have us believe.

Re: Economy going down the pan???

They were talking about this on the radio, we blamed labour for last crash, tories have carried on blaming them long after it became obvious they were not to blame, it was a world problem. Now the tories have had time to cushion us against any new crashes but they have failed to do so. Wonder who's to blame this time ?

Not another UK politics thread by our resident lefties.

I think they're all as bad as each other .... Bliar (Iraq) ... Brown (sold off half our gold reserves at a ludicrous price)...

Hmm. One can almost believe Labour were relieved to be kicked out of power, to take a breather as the Opposition. With Corbyn it'll be a very very extended breather.

Just for balance.

Dave was up here in Aberdeen yesterday supporting the troubled oil and gas sector with a £250 million injection of cash.

Nothing stopping anyone starting a thread of their own if they don't like us lefties, or even making a reasoned response to these threads. Until the mods declare us a right wing only forum I think we are OK to carry on.
