Ah well now we are not going to get an unbiased view from the Spectator. Many of you will remember that tousled haired Boris was editor there, and you can see what party he belongs to. So any message is coming with a slant.
Reasonably interesting Newsnight last night. On the government side you had Danny Alexander, he of the flaming locks, and for Labour you had Ed Balls..and I can never look at him these days without recalling Howard's comment about his 'syrup'. I keep looking for the join but alas I think his hair is all real.
But the Ed Balls message was that "the Osborne policy is a failure". Balls reminded us that he (Balls)predicted a double dip recesson 18 months ago especially if we carried on the way we were going, taking money out of the economy.
Who is to say now he isnt/wasnt right. The double dip has hit us now...bigtime. many experts see no growth on the horizon either. None. Where is it to come from with manufacturing shrinking.
Danny Alexander spouted the standard line that we are sticking to our HMG path. But....
here's the thing...he refused to debate with Balls. he told Newsnight seemingly that he would come on...but would not debate with Balls. So he sat there the whole time and said nothing, no retort, nothing.
Odd.
