... cutting the deficit after years of tax and spend and getting the productive part of the economy back on track do not involve Cameron having to 'understand' how some mum of 14 has just had her third child.

I guess that if Lord Snooty needs medical advice on such matters, he can always turn to the soon to be struck off medically qualified brother of his potential future Chancellor (The Torygraph) ;)

I have no doubt that we will soon get the chance to see what an excellent job the Tories make of cutting the deficit and getting the productive part of the economy back on track - i.e. swingeing cuts in the NHS, Education and public services in general along with huge bonuses all round for tax-dodging gamblers and flogging off to their non-dom chums at a discount anything owned by the taxpayer :rolleyes:

I'm sorry, but perhaps one day you would like to engage in a debate without the need to post irrelevant links in a very poor attempt to gain points. But then again, considering you are someone who has coined the phrase "Lord Snooty" one could imagine intelligent debate without school playground style name calling is impossible for you.

Yes, that sounds about right. Afterall the Tories just "look after their own" don't they? Honestly, I thought we had just about got over this whole "tories are evil rich people!!! Waaaa :(" nonsense a long time ago. One would have thought the process would have only been speed up by the abomination of a Labour Government we've had for the last 13 years. Sadly it appears not.

They might; frankly anyone is likely to do better than the out-of-touch Tories and their manifest enthusiasm for the benefits of supporting tax dodgers and paying huge bonuses to people who gamble with the public purse ;)

Labour haven't been in power for the past 13 years . . . are you talking about New Labour :confused:

How in touch do you think New Labour are, staffed by a political class?

Sir Gus O’Donnell, the cabinet secretary, became so alarmed by the prime minister’s behaviour that he launched his own investigations when he received reports of Brown’s bullying of staff. O’Donnell then gave the prime minister a stern “pep talk” and ordered him to change his behaviour. “This is no way to get things done,” he told Brown.

The revelation that the prime minister’s behaviour was so extreme that it triggered a warning from Whitehall’s most powerful official will shock the political world and is bound to lead to claims from his opponents that he is not fit for another five years in office as a general election draws near.

It was inevitable. The woman who told the BBC her National Bullying Helpline was called by three people who worked with the prime minister is now at the centre of a political storm.

First, some are asking why Christine Pratt risked compromising the confidentiality of her callers.

Second, Downing Street is pointing out that they were never contacted by the helpline despite the fact that the Civil Service has "a no tolerance policy on bullying" and has "rigorous, well established procedures in place to allow any member of staff address any concerns over inappropriate treatment or behaviour".

Thirdly, Ms Pratt's motives are being questioned.

Some have pointed out that the helpline website shows a supportive statement from David Cameron and that it lists Conservative MP Anne Widdecombe as a patron.

However, the BBC has so far found no evidence of any political involvement by Ms Pratt or her charity.

South Swindon Labour MP Anne Snelgrove was an active supporter of the helpline but fell out with Ms Pratt over the MP's concerns that the charity might be being used to promote a business that advises companies on staff relations.

Nevertheless, Peter Mandelson's Department for Business continues to recommend the helpline to businesses.

Christine Pratt contacted the BBC after seeing Lord Mandelson's interview this morning defending the prime minister's behaviour.

Colleagues checked the status of the charity and questioned Ms Pratt's claims. We can't, of course, verify the truth of her allegations - merely report them and Downing Street's response to them.

By the way, the Cabinet Office has now issued an updated response to Andrew Rawnsley's allegations stating that "It is completely untrue to say that the Cabinet Secretary ever gave the prime minister a verbal warning about his behaviour". (BBC online)

I wouldn't be surprised; certainly Mr & Ms Pratt appear to be promoting a business and perhaps the Tory party.

George Osbourne planning a big share give away as part of the "people's bank bonus". Just one problem, if the government sell off bank shares cheaper than what they paid for them then we'll still have a tonne of debt with no assets to back it up. I know the Conservatives love a good privatisation, even when it compromises the national interest, but this is one sell off too far if they don't make a capital gain. The banks simply have to pay the government back through a share buy back on this one.

I know being compared to that onanist was probably a bit harsh but it seems all people have to throw at the Conservatives is name calling and jealously. I'm merely trying to redress the balance :)

Come on now, all Labour supporters have is to be childish and call tories stupid names, it does nothing for your credability and the rest of us just laugh at you
 
Apparently there's only a 6 point gap between Tories and Labour on opinion polls now according to the Times Online.

This is because people are now finally starting to utilize their long term memories. There's really no point voting Tory. I hope by the time the general election comes around, there's no lead, there's the exact opposite instead. People simply forget who the Tories really are.
