  The economy of course.
  
  Yet more figures showing the recovery is getting stronger.
  
  I will be betting back to doing my blogs and this will be my subject that I will upload for the holiday season within a few days.
  
  For now take a look at this article by Fraser Nelson......................

  The governments is borrowing over £120 billon
  We have a trade deficit over £100 billion
  The torys are moving billions of private sector debt on to the taxpayers
  And the bearings are running red-hot on the money printing press .
  
  I don't know what cycle you're on this time Barry, but it's going down hill fast.

  Keith - yet you have never supported the measures needed to deal with the deficit quicker and until that is dealt with borrowing has to continue. You really do want it all ways.
  
  At least Osborne has been going in the right direction even if not fast enough. Consequently, although you wont admit it, the economy is looking up, so cheer up.....

  Trying to be fair and balanced, remembering that the Liar Blair got us into the war, and that the tories seem quite happy to continue it, can any of the experts out there tell us how much Afghanistan is costing the UK, and can the Ukippers tell us if they're going to continue throwing money at a war that the US wants, or that perhaps we could get the hell out of it.
  All sympathies to those who died in the september 11th attack, but bear in mind that it was that very same city that was financing a terrorist war against Great Britain not long before, or are we so cuddled up in bed with the yanks that its convenient to forget that ?
