How many more U turns will this bloody government make?

Can you attempt to explain how cutting things at national level improves our infrastructure and quality ?

Sure.

Spending more increases inflation and puts costs up, it can spiral. Bloated budgets attract waste. Any business knows that sometimes the strategy of cutting something results in the business finding a better way.

Lower taxes encourages investment and growth. Increasing the size of the state leads to armies of people looking for useful things to do.

Best in class vs just good enough.

Do you put Mobile 1 in every car you service?

Like Trump and Farage, Ivor throws in lies in the hope of getting away with it.

Is he not allowed to share his opinion?

 

[Odds]

Is he not allowed to share his opinion?

Yes, and some folk are free to point out where his opinion is in error.

What the heck are you waffling on about? Desperately trying to claim some imaginary victory!

I said that austerity was a word used by the left and BBC. I didn't say they were the first to use it or that they invented it, that would have been that bloke who invented the dictionary.

The lefty labour apologists are really scraping the barrel to find any slim imaginary victories these days.

according to their opinion.

A lie is an intentionally false statement. An error or difference of opinion is not a lie.

How does that analysis explain the post Thatcher state?

 

[ReganAndCarter]

But then mindless is all that racists can rise to, isn't it.

Whatever.

I vaguely recall that many UK Councils invested their 'surplus' funds in Iceland but ultimately recovered 90p in the £1.

The Hankipanki Bank.

So what? He needs to stop having these stupid ideas, not drawing ideas out of a hat to see how they go down. Perhaps he could think about it and, I don’t know, float it to some of his own party who could tell him whether it’s another crackpot idea that going to lose them voters.

By that reckoning your beloved fuhrer is going to have a problem moving forward...

The deform party seems to be attracting the flotsam and jetsam of UK politics into it's ranks...

No hopers and chancers, tax evaders and criminals...

Add that to the racist members and Council members who have no clue how to run things and you can see garbage's dilemma...

Come the next election his band of loonies (and the fuhrer himself) will be struggling to hold on to such outpost bastions like essex

You have been completely and utterly radicalised. What caused this - will you leave the country if reform win, its sounds like you would.

Sorry, what was your party of choice? I don’t believe you've ever stuck your neck out and said. So, which party is it?

And the Icelandic financial services industry is 1/3rd the size.

No bad thing, surely?


At the end of the second quarter of 2008, Iceland's external debt was 9.553 trillion Icelandic krónur (€50 billion), more than 7 times the GDP of Iceland in 2007.[4][5] The assets of [Kaupthing, Landsbanki and Glitnir] totaled 14.437 trillion krónur at the end of the second quarter 2008, equal to more than 11 times the national GDP. Due to the huge size of the Icelandic financial system in comparison with the Icelandic economy, the Central Bank of Iceland was unable to act as a lender of last resort during the crisis, further aggravating the mistrust in the banking system.


Which would you rather have? An enormous, uncontrollable juggernaut of a financial sector which, when it crashes, does huge real-world harm to ordinary people, or one which is more proportionate in size to the real economy?

 

[morqthana]

So what?

So what?

So it's clear that you were critical of a government decision, and then when they listened to criticism and reversed the decision you were critical of that too.

Criticism from who though - he was losing support from his own party. I don’t think he listened to the peoples opinion. Maybe he should discuss his next crackpot idea with his party first, if only not to make a fool of himself yet again.
