Tellytubbies said "eh-oh" for the first time in March 1997. I was chatting to the lady who made the costumes. The baby in the sky is grown up now. Again again.
Err wot?! We have fallen way back cf our Northern European neighbours in the last 10 years. Compare our performance with the Netherlands for example... In the run up to when Balls took over we were prospering/suffering more or less in parallel with them.
There’s no point in any Tory Brexit apologists still pushing these lies. Osborne and Cameron were shills for our enemies and took every big decision in a way guaranteed to benefit our enemies. Bodger and the other clowns have stolen everything else.
The note was a joke and there was, as is well known, plenty of money left. Jesus if people doubt the economic condition the country www in, look at it now after nearly 15yrs of tory rule fgs
From 2003 onwards it was pretty consistently shyte tbh . The vitriol aimed at Gordon Brown as PM was somewhat underserved though, he tried to make the best of a very bad hand he was dealt
Yes I know the Tories would have prevented neither and in fact their MPs were critical in getting the former over the line
The Tories didn't take the note seriously. They recognised that the idiotic public would and so made hay with it. And we swallowed it whole.
The Tories aren't incompetent. They've successfully passed measures which transfer wealth from the poor to the rich. The bit where they've failed is to keep the idiot public on side with the mantra "this medicine is good for you".
Partly because their policies will eventually teach the public through their lived experience and partly because Tories are so corrupt that they just can't help getting themselves in to scandal after scandal.
If you support the Tories still, you're either rich, stupid or a sociopath or all three.
I should add that right now, Labour are no better.
The leader has only a passing acquaintance with the truth. The lies that he's told are too many to list. And he's coming across as Mr Weathervane, saying whatever he thinks he needs to say in the moment.
They've basically adopted Tory economic philosophy and what they're proposing looks more liked fiddling at the edges rather than the wholesale shift in thinking and spending that we need.
Sally for the nation he'll romp home and think this was his victory rather than a Tory loss. He'll drink his own koolaid and will be booted out after one or two terms and then rinse and repeat.
The tories need to return to conservatism, to prefer the tried to the untried, fact to mystery, the actual to the possible, the limited to the unbounded, the near to the distant, the sufficient to the superabundant, the convenient to the perfect, present laughter to Utopian bliss
That sounds utterly uninspiring riskysknee. Please run the tozza gezza campaign and they'll get zero seats which we it, if in doubt, would love to see.

wot laz sed
the proof of the tozzas’ economic illiteracy and absolute lack of a sense of humour is that they took the note seriously
it defined their incompetence. a reputation they will not escape 4 decades now
