No mercy with the aim for it to be mostly sorted within 2-3 years. Expecting 4 millions unemployed.

I can't bring myself to thank that, it's a bit scary. You may well be right. Everything behind the scenes in terms of debt and so on points to serious structural problems in our economy. Whittering on about a half per cent move in Aberdeen house prices may be the last of our worries.

i am voting bnp, i have lived under a tory government, i have no wish to ever again. at least a vote for bnp takes it away from labour and tory. if cameron gets in we poor and middle class will suffer the most, i have not done bad under the labour government, but i wont vote for labour as that is a vote for cameron, and they are no good for the likes of me. they just make the rich richer

I can't really vote for the bnp because i'm not white

If this is the case, I just hope that 5 years down the line it isn't a case of "ooh those nasty tories, look how hard these last 5 years have been, vote labour in again and we'll have another lovely decade of unexplained boom again"

people liked the boom at the time imo - especially when they were asked in 2001 and 2005

thats the problem isn't it, people can't equate having a boom without any real driving economic factor (ie, it's based on debt) with the subsequent implosion of the economy.

People will always like a boom.

They just don't like the inevitable (proven time after time) bust after it.

People like cake, but they don't like carrying the weight around etc.

I don't yet believe you can have a boom like we did over the last decade without what we are experiencing now. Sustainability is boring, but it works!
