I hold his economic qualifications with the same level of regard as those of Brown and Darling, knowing that the post of Chancellor is a political appointment, which is why they have advisors who are Subject Matter Experts (such as Ed Balls).

I am equally pleased that you think that George Osborne is as qualified as the two previous Labour Chancellors.... ;)

btw, your screenshot is made up (just like most of Labour's economic policies... :D)

This is what you actually get if you google "is George Osborne"...

I don't. I am just saying Osbourne is not qualified. So who are these mysterious Subject Matter Experts that are pulling George's strings and giving him the words to say?

So does that mean you were unhappy with Alastair Darling and Gordon Brown as Chancellors, or doesn't their lack of economic qualifications count?

Glad you admit the BBC adds balance :)

Claiming balanced output and ACTUALLY doing it are two completely different things. Whilst the news is not overtly biased the current affairs output is anything but.:(

Back to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bR_hfQU-4r0 and this wonderfully prudent Tory Chancellor saying he would not only match but exceed this apparently very excessive Labour spending.

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call him a 'Tory Chancer'?

Isn't hindsight fantastic?

You keep looking backward into the past. I am more worried about the future!

Well perhaps after previous issues spotting instability some research into the matter would be beneficial to him - and indeed virtually everyone else given hardly anyone cared about the credit bubble popping.

Those who do not learn from the past, are bound to repeat it.....

Looking to the future, the Shadow Chancellor has a degree in Politics & Parliamentary Studies (With an MA in Industrial & Labour Studies) - are you worried?

Re: Balls free gratis

Well, he read Greats (Classics - Ancient Rome, Ancient Greece, Latin, ancient Greek, and Philosophy) at Balliol, so obviously he wasn't qualified.....:D

But good to know that they won't let managing the economy get in the way of political expediency.

He had no more idea than Labour did that the economy was unsustainable at that time. Most people didn't; they ignored the signs and enjoyed the good times.

Distressing but inevitable I reckon. We get what we deserve don't we? Many people tend to vote either on the basis of the short term, according to their own interests, or they choose the same party regardless of the situation they find themselves in. The system encourages politicians to make false, equivocal or misleading promises, especially when they're virtually guaranteed a 5 year term in office. The run up to the last election was, more than ever, reduced to politicians rubbishing their opponents and refusing to justify or explain their own policies. God only knows what can be done about it. :shrug:
