public spending earmarked for after the 2010 general election will be brought forward
telegraph: Brown to splash billions on schools and hospitals
Gordon Brown is planning to inject billions of pounds of emergency funds into new schools and hospitals to stimulate the economy as Britain heads into recession, it emerged last night.
As the Prime Minister warned yesterday of a "defining moment" for the country, it was revealed that public spending earmarked for after the 2010 general election will be brought forward to encourage growth. Alistair Darling, the Chancellor, is drawing up plans to raid 2010-2011 Budgets and "fast-track" the money to public service building projects.

- and when it's after 2010 and that spending has already been spent and UK is going into recession - what then?
Bring forward the spending planned for after 2015?
Why not 'bring forward' the spending for the next 50 years and we could all have a bloody good blow out?
- oh, he's already done that hasn't he? Silly me.

How are they allowed to do this? Surely any reasonable democracy should have a rules which stipulate you can't steal from the next administration. Utter madness and yet another reason why my mental suitcase is packed and at the end of the bed with my emigration papers and one-way flight tickets.

Where are the Conservatives ? What a useless shower they are. The government announces in the national press they will be spending the next administration's funding, but not a murmur.
How far are New Labour going to go? We are heading for a rerun of the failed experiment of socialism.
