just watching it now on TV, the BBC is coming over as very pro labour

Never underestimate the stupidity of the great unwashed masses.
Don't forget how much Wales/Scotland skew the results too, IIRC the Tories would have won the last election on England-only votes.

Anyone who can eliminate boom and bust gets my vote...

I will stop the boom and bust, I will be prudent, I won't compare economy with a scouse footballer nor will i compare our debt with jordans t**s
VOTE FOR ME

Isn't "boom and bust" more or less synonymous with house price boom and subsequent bust? Everybody claims to like the idea of ending boom and bust, but when the chips are down, most people seem to think that house price rises are A Good Thing.

well there's boom and bust, and there's putting us a gnat's whisker away from systemic failure of our banking system,
..and there's preaching to the voter for years that you've done away with boom and bust.
..and there's blaming it all on the american subprime problem,
..and there's spending £26,000+ per UK household, whilst simultaneously trashing the pound to keep the economy afloat to deceive voters
..and there's claiming you fixed the world's banking system or claiming practically anything to get you back in power
..and finally, there's not doing diddly squat about fixing the destructive and slavery-inducing habits of the banking system, because of lobbying from your old boys network in the city, ..meanwhile the ex chief economist from the IMF says there's a chance of it all repeating in the next 3 - 5 years because its not fixed.

simple boom and bust I can cope with.

Bookies odds this morning:
Conservative majority - 8/15
Hung parliament - 13/8
Labour majority - 11/1
- Clearly indicates that the betting guys think the Tories will win the campaign, and see their poll ratings grow..

I know I've posted this before but be warned!!
And, before anyone says it would have been the same under the Tories, that's no argument. Look at Labour's record, we've had virtually 13 years of this shower of sh*t in which to do something and they've achieved sweet FA.
Dear Labour Voters
We meet at last. It’s been 13 years and you’ve enjoyed every moment, haven’t you?
You had **** all but weren’t happy watching others get on, so you voted for the grinning slimeball who offered you something for nothing, didn’t you? Guess who got rich? You or him?
I digress. Let’s get back to you lot. All 9 million of you. How are things? Still smiling? You’ve had 13 years to make the best of it. So let’s look at what you have achieved. All 9 million of you.
Whilst you’ve been enjoying cheap credit, the rest of us have noticed that we don’t actually own our country anymore. Whilst you’ve been enjoying hot tubs, 4x4’s, gas fired BBQ’s, nail studios, the hairdressers and trying to keep up with the Beckhams, the Magna Carta has been torn to shreds and thrown away. Whilst little Tyson has been riding around on his Argos 27.9% APR financed BMX, 900 years of British History has been shat on.
Ever wondered why you don’t have a villa in Tuscany? Ever wondered why everyone else takes holidays in the Caribbean whilst you go to Menorca?
It’s because you are thick and lazy. And along came a Party that told you being thick and lazy was no good reason for you NOT to have what they had.
You stupid, stupid XXXXX. Guess where Tony Blair is now? Do you think he is drawing the curtains on his two bed terraced house, full with M&S trinkets, to hide from the postman? Like you are? Do you think he wakes at 5am, shi**ing it that the bailiffs will be there at 11 to take away his new Nissan?
Cut to the chase. You’re up to your effing eyes in it. £20K, £30K on the plastic? Tax credits aren’t going to help pay that are they? Overtime’s been cut, Oooppps. That’s what been paying the minimum due every month, isn’t it? Whilst you’ve been buying sovereign rings, Tag Heuers and Tescos Finest to impress your parents, the party that promised you a shot at being loaded without doing anything has ****** it all up. And guess who is going to pay?
I know your parents were hard up. I know you grew up with **** all. I know your parents couldn’t give a sh*t about getting you through school properly. They were too busy wife swapping or down the bingo or social. I know you laughed at your teachers.
Guess what?
You’re ******. Totally, properly ******. You are going to lose your houses, cars, plasmas, koi carp and Nikes. Think your parents were hard up? Just effing wait six months. You will KNOW what a diet of pasta and ketchup tastes like. No more Dominoes Pizza in front of the Simpsons on Sky, no more Tandooris. Get your fat, lazy arses in the kitchen and effing cook something. Your kids will hate you as their PS3’s head over to Cash Converters, your wife will hate you as you trade in her Louis Vuitton handbag and you will hate yourself when you take a carrier bag out to the car to clear the glove compartment as the bailiff waits.
I hate all 9 million of you. I wish you all the plagues of hell. I want to see the four horsemen of the apocalypse in your Next furnished living room.
In your greedy, petty little pursuit of free “stuff” you allowed MY country, MY rights and MY life to be turned over by a bunch of effing snake oil salesman.
I hope it costs you everything, you sh*tes. I can handle 9 million suicides, and frankly with no major wars, there’s no other way we’ll get rid of you XXXXX.
**** off and die.

Well mr g, there's nothing like an election to promote good healthy debate, eh!
Although I must admit to agreeing with almost all of your post, the last bit is a bit strong though.
11. timmy t said...
wdbeast - oh I don't know - on the odd occassion I've watched Jeremy Kyle I've always thought that some sort of cull would probably be a good thing!!

Looks like J.R. is trying too hard to avoid upsetting home owners instead of telling the truth . The readers comments show that an encouraging proportion of the public are seeing through the pap that the main parties are trying to sell them .
13. Dpmiller83 said...
Good atleast to hear John Humphrys challenge Neil Kinnock about Brown, Boom and Bust and his Inflation/CPI changes... didn’t come across as quite so pro-labour BBC there...

None of the two parties I would be happy giving my vote to are fielding a cadidate in my constituency, so I am faced with the depressing choice of paper-spoiling or a strategic vote.
16. a saver said...
Mr g, LOL!
17. greenshootsandleaves said...
g thanks, Mr gee! It's difficult enough finding the right party to vote for. We now have the additional worry of knowing that if things don't quite work out as planned, we may be asked to 'do the decent thing' and blow our brains out. I didn't vote Labour at the last election, so I'm fairly safe, but who is to say how long this sort of luck can last.
I don't know which way Mrs greenshoots voted last time, but I think she's having a rethink about the suffragettes.
Still, trying to look on the bright side, we could - if the idea catches on, and not just in Britain - end up living on a far less crowded planet. What is more, the cull would be more or less impartial: left of centre in the UK, right of centre in the USA and, elsewhere, a few centre-party coalitions thrown in for good measure. Mmm, I'm liking it more and more.
