Rishi Sunak

It seems I’m not the only one looking back and thinking austerity was a mistake

Funny how he comes out with this stuff now, isn’t it, when he’s trying to build a career as an economics commentator and raise his profile in the media, rather than when he was actually advising the Chancellor with regard to how much he could borrow and more pertinently how the market might react to higher borrowing.

I should also point out that he went to Eton, so I’m afraid that the Bluemoon rules of engagement dictate that you have to regard him as a chancer and naturally dishonest.

He’s a ****, and always will be. Being honest now and then to make a few quid will not change that.

It’s a bit pathetic that you’re trying to dismiss the opinion of someone who’s clearly far more clued up on the economy than you pretend to be.

Mr self-awareness.

You spend all day, everyday, trying to dismiss people’s opinions about a range of subjects, even when you clearly know nothing about them.

I’m simply telling it like it is, which is probably why you don’t like it.

Anyway, just a quick one on Macpherson, and why I think his comments are particularly disingenuous and aimed simply at broadening his appeal as a pundit now that he is out of the civil service.

As you will no doubt be aware, the fiscal mandate he helped the Chancellor design and which operated from 2010 to 2015 focussed on the current budget deficit, a measure which of course excludes net government investment. So the mandate actually allowed for higher investment spending, and yet they still made the decision not to significantly increase it because of the concern around borrowing costs and debt levels. So his attempts to rewrite history don’t really cut it with me, because if the case for higher investment was so obvious, and the risks of doing so very low, then they would have done it.

Again, I have to say that I’m surprised you haven’t mentioned this point about the mandate given your in depth knowledge on the matter. Not just this subject, of course; pretty much anything anyone says on here, you mark yourself out as the expert. Even, I remember (could hardly forget to be fair), the matter of Catherine Middleton’s dress sense. Or perhaps you have strong views about how women in their early 40s in general should dress, and not just the Princess of Wales. I’d hate to do you a disservice and sell your talents short.

Have a great day.

Regarding MacPherson I read it as an admission that he/the government got it wrong with austerity rather than a rewrite of history. I would say with his 11 years working in the Treasury as a senior adviser to both Labour and Conservative governments he probably has more of an idea than you. Or maybe not as you only “tell it like it is” and only state facts not opinions even when the facts aren’t actually known.

As for my comments on Princess Kate I couldn’t even remember making them so it must have really stuck in your mind for some odd reason. Maybe you have a poster of her on your wall dressed like Margaret Thatcher and hate to see any possible criticism? Anyway after a search I found that I said she dressed like my 90+ year old great aunt. If that makes me a women’s fashion expert that’s quite a low bar for calling people experts and if that’s the case it’s no surprise that you consider me an expert on quite a lot of things.

It was obvious. The reason why it wasn’t done was political. Cameron and Osbourne used austerity as an opportunity to shrink the State. Ideology over economics and good sense.

They knew what they were doing.

Fucked working people in personal debt to survive and destroyed any help they were entitled too by defunding them.

Gideon is happily snorting top gear and the pig fucker got his French Passport and fucked off there to take advantage of all the EU stuff his gamble lost us.
