18 May 2013... extends across our whole society. Their 13 years of elected vandalism left us with a country changed as it never has been changed before. And it was deliberate.
Look at their shocking record.
The longest ever period of Labour government left us with our longest and deepest ever economic 'bust'. Nothing new there about Labour leaving a financial crisis behind because they screw up the economy every time we are foolish enough to elect them. They also:
...Spent, spent and spent, borrowed, borrowed and borrowed - creating a society dependent upon benefits.
...Taxed, taxed and taxed us yet again with their 'stealth taxes' driving the economy into the ground and damaging enterprise.
...Sold off Britain's gold when it was at a record low ($275/ounce - now at $1,400/ounce), against advice
...Destroyed what was the best funded pension system in the world, taking £5bn a year in taxes out of our pensions claiming we would not notice!!!
...Destroyed our savings by keeping interest rates too low too long with a mad inflation brief to the Bank of England and cutting tax-free savings amounts
...Created a housing and debt bubble with that inflation brief.
...Imposed more red tape, rule and regulations than any other government in our history, much of it eagerly endorsing impositions from the EU.
...Created a charter to protect the rights of criminals at the cost of decent law-abiding people, better known as the the criminal rights act.
That is just off the top of my head and now...
...we hear they actually sent people out encourgage more immigration and for what reason? Political, as a way to get new votes because they could no longer rely on their traditional vote.
You really could not make it up.
Anyone who is even tempted to vote Labour again deserves to be committed for life to a loony bin.
Ah yes, it could also be said that things went down hill as soon as we had colour television.
".Spent, spent and spent, borrowed, borrowed and borrowed"
As do the Tories today, only we have so little to show for it.
" their 'stealth taxes' 2
Who set VAT at 20%?
Gold, has fallen sharply of late...must be one of these 'cyclical' thingamajigs.
"Destroyed what was the best funded pension system in the world"
Was this too, against advice?
"keeping interest rates too low "
Interest rates are not "too" low now then, perhaps money is now being invested to stimulate growth?
"Created a housing and debt bubble "
No, no. Carried on with the Conservative H&D bubble policies, as Dave and GO are attempting.
".Imposed more red tape," How are things just now with fuel price fixing, more red tape to come?
" eagerly endorsing impositions from the EU" Gay marriage? Anything to divert attention from Tory failings.
"Created a charter"
This was done in the late forties, to great (and continued) acclaim.
"encourage more immigration"
Lets say that 'they' do this to drive down wages, 'you' do it to help with the H&D bubble.
"You really could not make it up."
Apparently, you can.
"life to a loony bin"
That just about perfectly describes life in the UK under our two and a half Party System.
Enjoy your Saturday Barry.
