Well we may have to agree to differ on that because I believe that he either believed he had genuinely ended boom and bust in which case he is an idiot or he was telling a lie which makes him a liar.

I am afraid that ion the eyes of comrade Verbal anybody on the right's opinion's are invalid. If you disagree with the Independent you you are an 'internet dwebe'. Yet The Telegraph is written off as the Torygraph.

Why? Does it not counter your argument that Gordon Brown is a shrewd economist?

do you mean booms and busts?

Was it not 1977?

Its a bit of fun - you are being chippy.

Sorry, does that not fit in with your rural village stereotype?

Well our village is and there will be lots of drink taken and singfing and dancing. The community will come together in a way that only thge British can. I am sorry that some of you are not part of a community anymore.

I was going gto take my four year old daughter to Hartlepool. Determined to.

KFC was always good on match days but his rivals could be tastier.

Do you really think it is appropriate to be mocking people's faith on this thread? Your faith is up to you but don't bore us with why you think you are right.

Always on the look out for perceived or subconscious racism is our Verbal. The guardian of political correctness. Most people in my generation would have pint with anyone. The people that I find very tedious are those that cry racism the whole time, often on behalf of other people and genuine racists themselves.

I expect you will blame the government!

Its quite simple, you pay what you can afford. I am sure that in Zambia they would love to have our health service,

Look at Greece, Ireland, Portugal and possibly Spain stupid. It is fantastic that we have a the lib dems to add a compromise to addressing our overspend and add a little bit of compassion. The public sector cannot be bigger than the private sector.
