Jamie how don’t I read? I’m sorry I don’t think you grasped

Comment on General Election 2010 Poll Results by Helen.

Jamie how don’t I read? I’m sorry I don’t think you grasped my point, in that I don’t think your comparison of the UK and the Japanese has got anything to do with politics, and is more of a cultural thing. I don’t think I’ve ever heard British people boo their own national anthem either, but if you have, you must watch some very unusual sports. We all want a better sense of community in the UK Jamie, but I believe it was Thatcher who said there was no such thing as society.

My age is irrelevant, but as it happens I’m old enough to remember clearly what life was like under the Tories the last time, and it haunts me. Mass unemployment, record numbers of home repossessions, 3rd world NHS, poverty and depression. Are there the good old days you want back?

Natalie; the UK is coming out of recession, and you are right, so are many other countries. But this hasn’t just happened by chance, the government got many of the calls right regarding how to help us out of recession; for example the stimulus financial packages, and bailing out the banks saving jobs and ultimately getting profit back to the taxpayer.

The Tories got every major decision on the recession wrong; they wanted to give banks more freedom to screw the rest of us over, the opposed saving the banks and the jobs of ordinary people. If they had had their way we’d still be deep in recession, thank God they didn’t. So you don’t want to give the government any credit, that’s your choice, but you can’t ignore the fact that the Tories have got every decision on the recession wrong. George Osborne couldn’t organise his own piggy bank never mind the UK economy.

If the Tories get in, I hope everyone remembers WE ARE ALREADY OUT OF RECESSION. I can barely stand the thought of Cameron and Boy George taking the credit, once the nationalised banks start repaying the tax payer.
