Err yes. Labour have been overspending for several years and getting the country into debt with their profligacy. What's wrong with trying to save?

I think you're very confused here - Tories are constantly complaining about the enlarged public sector, and you're confused as to the pen pushers, Labour installs them just for fun.

Had you said they'd lower them I might get you. As it is their main policy on taxation is a partial reversal of a Labour NI increase.

Probably some non-key ones will suffer. In case you hadn't noticed we're in rather a lot of debt at the moment thanks to Labour spending the past several years spending money they don't have. Something has to give. Or you could believe Labour's diatribe about how they won't cut services at all.

There is absolutely no basis in fact or any indication that this is the case. I have no idea where you get this from at all, even Labour haven't claimed the Tories will do this.

With huge deficit spending, not to mention we went into said recession in one of the weakest positions of all developed nations due to Brown's deficit spending. They are a large part of the reason we were the last major economy out of recession despite their prodigious spending..

Simply wrong. You don't read the statistics much do you Arthur? Do.

The number of people who do not have a job and are not even bothering to look for one today soared to a new record.New official figures reveal an astonishing 8.16million - more than the entire population of Greater London - are now ‘economically inactive’. The rate is now 21.5 per cent of the working age population - up 0.9 per cent on last year and the highest since records first began in 1971

Are you having a laugh?

Privacy in the UK has been increasingly eroded under the current Labour government with the growth of computer databases, surveillance cameras and DNA testing, and individuals' data has been put at risk by numerous large-scale data losses in the public sector.

The government wants to change the period a terrorist suspect can be held without charge from 14 days to 90.

The home secretary, Alan Johnson, appears to be in serious trouble over a ruling today by the European court of human rights against the unlawful police use of counter-terrorism stop and search powers on peace protesters and photographers.

While by all accounts, apart from Labour's own, not equipping them properly. Soldiers have died due to this. Brown couldn't even be honest with the Chilcot enquiry and had to issue a correction to them by letter after being caught telling a cynical, politically motivated and calculated lie.

Which job? The one of running the country to the point of needing another IMF bailout in the style of the previous Labour administration? Having unions running mass strikes which Labour can only offer an impotent response to due to the unions supplying the overwhelming majority of their funding, kinda like the previous Labour administration?

I respect that you are entitled to your opinions, I do however find the rationale behind them utterly baseless and frankly ridiculous.

EDIT: As an aside shame Gordon sold the gold when he did and indeed announced the fact. Thanks to the pound being so weak due to the job he's done so far it hit a record price recently.

Indeed it looks like business people, those people who are probably far more qualified to discuss economics than you or I, appear to disagree with your upbeat assessment of Brown and Darling and the job you want them to finish.

In the meantime, markets have become very sensitive, seemingly moving on every opinion poll as the prospect of anything less than a decisive conservative victory seen as broadly negative for the UK’s fiscal health and its sovereign credit outlook.
