RE: After This No Activity??? - Geordie_Rob - 13 May 2015
To be honest, although I voted against the Tories, I'm pleased they got in. And yes I'm expecting to lose out as a result of their majority govt in the form of cuts to child benefit & tax credits to the tune of about £200 a month. I'll just have to plough on reducing my debt & taking on additional jobs if necessary.
As a relatively poor, no property owning working class bloke, the thought of a labour government scared the crap out of me. As an individual it makes more sense to pay off my debts, so I think it's the best for my country aswell. Instead they would've borrowed even more. Just remember how Blair/Brown loved PFI & triggered this shite we are in in the 1st place. You can blame the bankers (and they have shafted us), but the last lab govt are equally to blame.

Apparently this government have created more new debt than all previous Labour governments combined. You'll have noticed how they always deliberately conflate "deficit" and "debt" whenever they speak. It's easy to reduce the deficit, you simply pay less benefits.
Here is a good explanation of the difference:

That's why we're here - our wobble-detectors are a bit more sensitive than average, even if we don't realise it ourselves.

I call this effect the bells of elfland. Something in the air that shimmers and makes you feel a bit uneasy.
