The harsh truth about Tory policies
Comments

The 1930s depression was caused by the government "doing something"
If they had done nothing (which would have been the right thing to do) it wouldn't have been half as bad.
And you know that how ?'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0 -

For those closet and not so closet tories who fondly believe that QE is a 'labour' matter, could you kindly advise me why the presumably idolised-by-you right wing governments of other leading economies are also pumping money into their economies hand over fist?
Your ultra-shallow, lets-bash-Brown tactics are pretty transparent and born of partisan, party political motives, pure and simple.
Your problem is Liz you can't see past party politics, you just assume anyone who disagrees with you is therefore a Tory...You really need to wake up and smell the coffee.......
The whole problem with this fekking country is the political devide, the parties and their followers couldn't agree on the colour of sh1te........
As for the rest of the world pumping FAKE money into their ecomomies doesn't mean it will solve the problem any quicker than not doing it.Its like Lemmings jumping over the cliff edge"I jumped coz he did".
We are in unchartered waters here, life,finance and the world in general is not the same as it was in the 30,s.
Liz, sign off the Nu Lab Central office pc and pop outside and experience the real world:rolleyes:0 -
The housing market was a little ovevalued
Jeez, Thats like saying the Hiroshima atom bomb was a............................
"pretty firework":rolleyes:
In my area in the last 10 years house prices rose 300% whilst earnings rose about 25% ........That Stevie is not a "little overvalued"0 -
By a simple process of deduction.
You ought to try it.
Easy isn't it, especially when you don't have to prove itnot like like the 70% club, where we can compare 'deduction' with facts

Deduction is a process which involves examining the facts and arriving at a conclusion..

I will say it once again I do not vote Tory and will not be voting at the next election. As far as I'm concerned there is not much difference between either of the main 2 party's these days and as Lib Dems will never get in its a waste of time.
I only bash Brown because he was the man in charge who got us into this mess with our banks etc. I would bash the Tories if they were in charge. Whether they would have made a better effort on the economy over the last 12 years is anyones guess. One thing we do know is that they could not have done much worse.0 -

One house about 800 yrds away was up for £215k , the sold board went up last week and has gone for around £150k....Another which was up for £185k went for around the £170k mark ..
House prices should always be geared sensibly to wages and in this area of East Sussex they just aren't and its no difference around the country...I agree its good to see some sales but its not sustainable given that wages are low....
People got too greedy ...........0 -
