I think his supporters are going to be very disappointed come the next election cos there is no chance Dave is getting reelected. If you think targeting the poorest people in the country, cutting housing benefit while allowing private rent to spiral out of control, forcing people into zero hour contracts just to make the employment figures look good, cut millions of public sector jobs and freezing the pay for the rest of them all the while allowing the cost of living to continue to rise even further is the correct way to run this country then quite frankly you're a ****. The way he and his rich mates who have never ever in their lives had to struggle to survive have hounded and targeted the poorest people in this country is quite frankly disgusting and come the next election they will learn you can't stamp on the necks of the most desperate people in the country and expect to win an election. Can't come soon enough for me.

Maybe if the poor weren't so bleeding whiny about their problems the rest of us decent hardworking folk would be more willing to throw them a bone

I don't disagree with your emotional sentiment, but you are hopelessly deluded when it comes to what motivates most people in the privacy of the ballot box.

its actually embarrassing that labour followers , grown men at that, can be so wooden as to think the labour party can run a country.

frightening.

What an utterly thick man you are.

A Northern Tory? An oxymoron if ever there was one. Don't you know Cameron's mob take the piss out of plebs like you?

Carpet shop owners? never knew they cared that much either way

The country is in a huge mess but he targeted the poorest people in the country,
rather than the big corporations & his rich mates exploiting the poor. A fucking despicable man.

We're developing a huge underclass & parts of our cities will turn into slums.

Great thread, a lot of weight to the statement..

Let as many investment banks go to the wall as you like. Absolutely.

The Labour Governement's best thing during their near two decades in charge was to semi-nationalise and so save the banks. But they were retail banks. They could not be allowed to fail. It would have meant the end of the banking sector and economy as a whole for a decade plus. The then government handled the crisis better than most other countries and with efforts will be looked upon very well by history.

No Government would be forced into that decision again going forward.

If investment houses wish to gamble their investors money then so be it. Every fund has a risk rating and investors have their own choice accordingly. What could not be allowed to happen was for people with life savings on deposit in savings accounts to lose their money.

I am very much in favour of the new system.

It's a catch 22 situation unfortunately. Whilst, as I say, I do understand the logic of letting them fail, like it or not,not in my case as I think we'd be better with a more diverse economy, the size of the financial sector is very substantial and allowing investment banks to fail will hit everyone's pockets. If cure is better than prevention, so be it.

As I say, in 2008, Labour did exactly the right thing in their handling of the banks. There was no reason to let the retailing banking industry fail, each and every bank they injected capital into were running successful and profitable retail banking divisions and it was their investment arms that had gambled (though not intentionally and mainly due to American lenders repackaging toxic debt as low risk high yield bonds) the rent money.

As there was no separation then they had to be saved.

If the same thing happened today, they would be allowed to fail and rightly. If would not put stress on the banking sector. The banks now know this and are much more risk averse. Plus the FSA brought in more/higher capital adequacy rules.

I know you don't think that the country is more shielded from that sort of asset bubble, but I tend to think the measures in place mean we are.

Pocket-book voting is what most people base their choices on.
