Got that defecit under control then...

So there's an extra £1.8bn there, plus we've enetered a pointless & unnecessary war (arguably with no real or valid reason?)

Combine this with the spin of the past few days that we're in "growth".:rotfl:
It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    The OP would have more credibility to discuss economic matters if he could actually spell deficit.
  • I thought this thread was about cures for diarrhoea.

    A pleonasm is a great big mistake of using consecutive adjectives that mean the same thing. Some may argue that is a small, minor error that helps delivers a clear, lucid message.

    A £100 fine for each utterance of 'tiny little' would wipe out the deficit in?
