'I messed up' - David Cameron

StevieJ

Housing and stock markets up on 12 months ago, unemployment not as bad as expected, poised to exit recession, if this is limping - bring it on
But the worst nightmare of a Tory govt would be a chance that that t**t Hannon may find a place in the govt:eek:

Mr_Mumble

Cameron should just come out and say all these tax tweaks are aspirations and can't offer any firm promises for the first term of a Tory government because Britain has the worst structural deficit of any major economy and is also the only G20 country still in recession.

PS. Hannan is awesome but isn't going to get a place in government since he's an MEP.

Gives me the creeps, a South American Euro MP who doesn't believe in the European union

Oh and what was his view on Iceland before the meltdown

in which he advocated that other countries should emulate the Icelandic model of minimal national and international regulation as their model. :rotfl:

It is nearly as good as that Redwood classic

Conservative MP John Redwood, who heads the party’s economic competitiveness policy review group, will say on Friday that there is no need to regulate mortgages because the lender, not the customer, takes the risk.

Indeed not.

Of course, steadfastly refusing to admit to your catelogue of stupid errors (10p tax), mistruths (boom and bust, G20 recession comments, economy in general) and failed promises (Lisbon) is 'resolute leadership in the face of adversity' and 'not doing Britain down'

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Ah well, Only 5 or so more months of this lot then lets see if 'Honest' Dave can make a better fist of it. Good luck to him though - he will need it attemping to sort out 12 years of Labour mismanagement. :eek:

It's like the expenses thing. They're all liars and we would be fools to vote for any of them at the next election

The economy has had 200m pumped into it with various other schemes what did you expect? As I have said before if I lose my job abd someone gives me my wages for a year of course everything will seem fine on the surface for at least a year.

If Brown had been the leader of a private company he would have been fired by now. Why don't :abour just fire him and bring someone else in.

It makes a refreshing change for a politician to admit their mistakes and given the appalling blunders that Brown has made both as Chancellor and PM (none of which he admits) I honestly can't imagine that Cameron could be any worse.

Geoff Hoon did this on newsnight last night. Gained some of my respect, as he openly admitted he had got it wrong. Refreshing, and the presenter had no real need to lay into him as he usually does.

Unfortunately, David Milliband was then interviewed on the subject and all he could muster up was that they should be concentrating on slaming the tory party, not concentrating on in house arguments.

Shame, I thought they should be concentrating on running the country!

Housing up - is that a good thing (thought that was major cause of the last lot of problems)??

Stockmarkets up because of QE pumping, currency depreciation boosting profits and the fact that many of FTSE100 movers are miners operating outside of UK.

Unemployment not as bad as expected because the Govt keeps recruiting more public servants and the rest of the country is parttime now (that's why, even with apparently less bad levels of employment, tax revenues are plummeting).

Exit recession - well first in last out and we're only exiting because last years figures were so mega dire. Our rise to growth is going to be anemic for years - even this administration thinks 1.5% in 2010 (that's sill 3% less than 2008.


Blimey, even half the cabinet allegedly thinks this Government's carp.

Tories may be not much better but surely they can't be worse.

Because, like Blair, he needs to sort out his top job with a bank first

No matter what Cameron was offering I have never trusted him, he's a slimey b4stard.
