Then again i almost felt joy at his thinly hidden attack on the BBC for selective reporting. Don't blame him. The BBC are d*cks: http://www.bbc.co.uk...litics-13673804 Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls has dismissed the International Monetary Fund's backing for the coalition's deficit reduction strategy. Their bias is truly appalling. Edited June 6, 2011 by Sir John Steed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inflation was a lot more than forecast, and Growth, well, thats not as good as forecast, and the cuts, they arent as high as forecast, indeed, there have been no cuts at all, and recent deficit monthly figures are a lot worse than forecast, so really all in all, inspite of everything being forecast wrongly, on the wrong side of good, The economy has a lot going for it.

Any decent economist knows that the UK economy is totally, completely, and utterly fcuked up, and the gov. has no choice whatsoever. It will have to borrow hundreds of billions this year, and without this deficit reduction plan they would have to pay much higher interest rates, and that would show other lenders that the prospects were geting worse, and IR would go even higher, spiral, "Ã la" Greece. Either Ed Balls knows that, and is a ******* lying demagogue, or he is a moron. . Edited June 6, 2011 by Tired of Waiting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Democorruptcy Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 The bbc is the labour party political broadcast channel, it's known. The IMF endorse Osborne but Stephanie Flanders suggests they aren't saying what the really think. Impeccable sources have told me there was considerable concern among senior IMF economists last year at the pace of the coalition's plans to cut the deficit. However, political negotiations at the highest level meant that these concerns did not get expressed in public. The organisation has publicly endorsed the government's strategy ever since and today is no exception. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/13671462 Surely it's time it was changed to BLC instead of BBC? Why don't they just admit it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flanders manages to sound educated and informed while spouting random crap. There are plenty of people who know the way this is heading and know the solution, the solution is not going to found by politicians, that is for sure. Actually the politicians may know the way this heading as well or at least beginning to get an inkling, but they can't implement the solution, until they are forced to.

mattyfc Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 What where they going to say? We don't have any choice no matter what Geroge and Ed say. The political point scoring is ridiculous between Labour and the Coalition. Their policies are almost identical, I am convinced that had we had a labour government the budget would have been the same. The only difference is Osborne saying they are cuts and Labour saying they are investing more slowly. You couldn't make it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
