I use the term "government" loosely. Very limited knowledge or interest i admit but it seems that when a general election is imminent they all lay out thier stalls, run the opposition down, promise to put the world to rights then if elected turn into a clone of the previous party, make the same cock ups, then tell the same lies to try & wriggle out of the mess they've made. I've live through a few different elections but it has had no effect on my little job or little mortgage, i carry on regardless & leave them to it.
    If i knew which party could get me an NHS dentist i'd vote them in. I pay full N.I. so feel it's not much to ask!!!!! ::)

"Meanwhile our prospective next prime minister David Cameron has come up with a whizzo new scheme to make our inflated electricity bills even more painful than before:

He said: ” We need to apply gentle social pressure on people to bring down their energy use.

"So just as they’re doing in California, we will make each energy bill come with an illustration of how much energy people’s neighbours are using in comparison to their own usage, inspiring them to consume less in competition.”

The Booker is right. With honorable exceptions – such as UKIP and, on the environment at least, the BNP – our political class seem to have absolutely no understanding of the grotesque injustices being inflicted on their electorate in the name of the non-existent threat of “Climate Change."

What will it take, I wonder, for these imbeciles to wake up and smell the coffee? Will a hung Parliament do? Or will it have to be bloody revolution?"

Quite so, James. :y :y

Cameron really is a prat. >:(

Did anyone watch Darling being interviewed on Sky news this evening. It was astonishing.
He admitted that " the forces of hell were unleashed " on him from 10 Downing St. ( and from the Tories) when he voiced the opinion that we were in for the worst recession in 60 years. This imo adds a lot more weight to the "Brown is a bully" story.
He didnt try to deny that from 2003 to 2007 Chancellor Prudence Brown ran the national deficit up from£32 billion in 2003 to £163 billion in 2007. :o :o :o
This was despite the fact that the country and the City in particular were experiencing a spectecular boom and the tax receipts at the Treasury were therefore collossal.
He also admitted that we are currently paying £40 billion per year in interest alone on the money they have borrowed. My maths isnt that great but I make that over £100 million per week ? :o :o
How any responsible citizen could vote to re-elect that is completely beyond me.  :-/
Despite the fact that I am no big fan of the Tories it is a historical fact that when they are in government they whip the economy into shape and when Labour get back in they wreck it again.

Thus, to fill the energy gap, the Tories intend to rely on electricity produced by individuals and communities from rooftop windmills and water turbines, solar panels and boilers fuelled by wood chips.

The idea is so ludicrous that one struggles to believe that any adult, much less a political party, could even contemplate it.

"...we are looking at the very real possibility that he will be even worse than Brown."

Impossible though it seems, I am inclined to agree.

I've said this before, but one would hope Cameron would have advisers behind him who do actually know something about the electricity supply network to prevent him making gaffes like this.

That he does tells me either that he doesn't, and is therefore stupid, or that he receives advice but thinks he knows best, which puts him right up there with Brownnose and B.Liar. >:(

From Guido Fawkes blog:

"Guido understands that the BBC political teams have been told not to go away over the weekend."

What is funny is that the local people and media are already acting as if our current MP will lose his seat
