If you were acting yourself at football then they haven't wasted money,it's you who wasted it by acting yourself.
It isn't a myth that it happened over 14 years of Labour government. While the global recession isn't directly Labours fault the over spending was and that is now part of the problem here in this country.
Labour's spending only became unsustainable once the recession had taken hold. For the first 6 year of their governance Britain was running a budgetary surplus. For the next 4 the figures were comparable to the Tories from 1990 onwards and lower than most European countries. If you think that public sector spending was more culpable than neo-liberalism then you really have bought the tory line.[/quote]
While I don't know where you got your figures from they should have reduced spending as soon as it became unsustainable instead of spending money the country didn't have. Incompetence springs to mind but they had to keep their voters happy in public sector jobs the country couldn't afford so they would be voted back in.
I haven't bought any ones line and have voted Labour in the past but when something is wrong I can see it. I have already said I would not cut the Police.
I don't trust any of them which ever party they are from but Public spending has to be brought down and who ever was in power and making those decisions will get slagged off.
Tell me what did Labour get wrong in your view when they were in power. No need to mention the overspending, uncontrolled mass immigration, benefits system which made work not worth it for many, British banking collapse and the Iraq war.[/quote]
So you don't think government's should run budgetary deficits at any time? How would you generate increased stimuli for the economy, just hope it comes from the private sector?
As for what Labour got wrong, put simply loads the reason being they took the bait left by thatcher and went to the right and forgot what they're meant to be about i.e. representing ordinary British people. I'd hope that being in opposition would allow for the reassessment of their goals. Regarding your individual points: overspend is a myth (figures below), mass immigration I agree with you, the benefits system point is also a myth (look at how successive governments have massaged unemployment/benefit figures, also have you ever tried living on benefits? its a fucking nightmare), the banking collapse has its roots well into the past and was endemic of an international problem and the Iraq war was I agree an utter disaster, albeit one that the Tories were only to happy to agree to.
debt since 1918 as a percentage of GDP
Also regarding your point on Germany you're wrong about German frugality and it's worth considering why their economy flourished so much - they Euro artificially kept their export prices down, their unemployment rate collapsed after the Deutschmark was dropped. It also helps that they have a highly diversified economy, the complete opposite of the london-centric one we have built upon the straw platform of finance

Yes you must be right , so why did I have to hand my passport in for each England game and they follow me around on match days? Dont see paedos handing there passports in and reporting during school holidays ? Dont think coppers are following paeds around at weekends . Yes I agree they were doing there job but those resources could of been used on more important matters dont you think , Ive never had a word with any lad that didnt want to have a word back.
,it's you who wasted it by acting yourself. - you could say that about anyone who gets done for anything , speeding , theft or calling someone a fuckin cunt and getting nicked for it ?

Well looking at your figures the deficit which is over spend went through the roof with Labour last time they were in and looks like it is coming down slowly under the new government. Not popular I grant you but necessary.
Brown has just been named by Diamond about massaging interest rates, we can draw our on conclusions on that one and what influence he did have leaving British banks free and open to the collapse. Not his fault alone but it was on his watch and therefore he must be culpable in some way.
Germany has had austerity since unification and has no where near the over spend of us. We can debate the finner points all day as a lot is what you choose to believe but facts are facts.
The cuts by our government I believe are to excessive but the alternative is Labour who I don't think would do enough. Also they took over from Major which was a few years after Thatcher. That's how it goes one party makes a mess and the other has to sort it out and this is what we have now.
As for putting the country in debt or budgetary deficits, well sometime we have to but hold on the amount Labour spent was ridiculous. look at your chart. They tried to paper over the massive cracks by spending billions making out every thing was fine to the voters. They should have done what is being done now or similar not pampering to voters to stay in power. Incompetence as the spending could not continue at that level or we would be like Greece now with out bail outs. Labour also picked the wrong brother to lead the party.

Look at the figures again. prior to 2008 the deficit at no point went over £42,399 - under the previous Tory administration it went over this figure on at least two occasions - spending increased after the banking collapse at which point the government took appropriate measures (matched across the world) to prevent total meltdown. Can you explain why budgetary cuts are encessary and provide any examples of a nation cutting its way out of the current economic malaise - only one country in europe is managing it in Europe right now BTW

No doubt he's partly culpable.
QuoteGermany has had austerity since unification and has no where near the over spend of us. We can debate the finner points all day as a lot is what you choose to believe but facts are facts.
you're wrong, from 1990 to 2007 Germany ran a budget deficit. to suggest they lived under 'austerity' for over 15 years is just incorrect.

I'd disagree about picking the wrong brother (David is tainted by being so close to Blair and at least Ed will listen to voices from outwit the Party manchurians). I'm confused by your other statement though - should Labour have started cutting pre-global economic crisis or during? If the latter then I'd suggest that would have led to public outcry (justifiably so) and if the latter I'd suggest that we'd end up like Argentina at the turn of the last decade - on the streets and in need of unprecedented IMF assistance. if you can find one legitimate economist who can illustrate why cutting in times of economic unrest is the right approach then I'll be amazed.

Yes I agree,should of just put you in prison with all the other hard lads
Don't have much time for the police at all BUT if cuts have to be made, they should be made at the top, the same way in any organisation... The amount of money some of the high up cunts in the police are paid is beyond ridiculous, fuckin glorified pen pushers.
On another note, any 'cuts' should start with the toffee nosed bankers that scammed fortunes for years, fuckin rat cunts that they are
