@Helen If we really had a ‘destroyed economy’, would we not all

Comment on General Election 2010 Poll Results by James Bateman.

@Helen If we really had a ‘destroyed economy’, would we not all be begging on the street, or looting shops rather than sat in our comfy homes tapping away on our laptops? ….

Gordon constantly told us that Britain was better placed, and the strongest G7 country to deal with the downturn. (Quote “I also believe that Britain is better placed than most to withstand the global turbulence because of the decisions that we have made both recently and in the past” —

Unfortunately the truth is that (amazingly) Australia never went into a recession, and countries such as US, France, Germany, Japan, New Zealand (and just about every other country on the planet) were ALL out of recession months before the UK.

So it seems that Browns special recession busting schemes (such as cutting VAT which I know was heavily criticised by Vince Cable and but several German ministers) weren’t exactly very clever (I wonder how much that cost them in lost taxes).

Unfortunately I believe the UK voters are left to vote for one party run by an one-eyed Scottish idiot (/dictator/bully), and another by someone who just smiles and say yes (Blair Mark II)
