Ah, a valid counter-argument.

Would you care to tell me exactly what the conservative party have to do with the economic standing of the country when they took office?


Nothing. I'm not blaming the tories for the recession. That was the result of corporate greed. However, they are responsible for the subsequent austerity measures that have led to much social injustice.

And before you say "well they had to do something!" Why attack the poor and the middle class? Cameron is taking away their purchasing power which is BAD for the economy.

Of course that doesn't matter to you. I'm sure you come from a comfortable background and Mummy and Daddy will take care of you no matter what. It only affects those lazy poor people and immigrants and blacks... Who cares about them right?

And of course the tories would never have allowed such a travesty to occur on their watch.

Only the evil socialist, Labour Bolsheviks would do such a thing. Because they hate Britain and they love immigrants, and gays, bla bla bla, global warming, bla bla bla, Enoch Powell was right, broken Britain etc...

Amidoinitrite?



The Tories were responsible for the British portion of the global recession back in 1990 just as New Labour were to blame for the next global housing related downturn in 2007.

Just man up and admit that Labour were wrong.

Of course they were wrong. I never said they weren't. As I've said many times before I'm NOT a Labour supporter. But at least Labour tried to give a **** about the poor. The conservatives care about one thing and one thing only: making the super rich even super richer by stealing from everyone else.

I agree with it all, but the eloquence of Mia sandwiched between us has to have it. Yes Cameron is eroding so much of the great things about this country but TB with the most CCTV cameras in the world, our longer detention without charge than Zimbabwe and the mass centralisation of power under New Labour has to win Tony the top-prize.


Yeah along with those other terrible things he did like introducing minimum wage, assisting with peace in Ireland, devolution, fuel payments, banning fox hunting, cutting long term youth employment by 75% and surestart centres...

I could go on.
Yup all in all what a terrible prime-minister he was.
Brown was the worst ...

Why do so many people say this? What did Brown do that was so bad? I know he wasn't elected but policy-wise how was he any different from Blair?

Yeah it's ridiculous! Hitler was an economic genius, Cameron is a slack-jawed retard. They could probably just about go toe-to-toe in terms of biggotry and general levels of pure evil, though.


Hitler wasn't an economic genius? Schacht and Speer were

Personally, I think the moment it began to all wrong for Brown was when he changed his mind about calling the election that never was in 2007. He tried to fool everyone that he wasn't planning for an election when he blatantly was. Only Blair would have been able to talk himself out of that one.

I'm sure historians will have a myriad of opinions on him as we're living through a depression, he'll be the Gladstone of the future if war with Iran happens, his legacy will surpass Blair's, so for now we're suspended on the edge of possibilities.

I'm a member of the Freedom Association, the conservative party are pretty much the only party the TFA has anything to do with.

Look mate how exactly do they 'steal' from the poor directly leading to greater wealth of the rich.
Surely it's literally impossible for David Cameron to be the worst PM ever - he's not a member of the Labour Party :holmes:

This is obvious to anyone with half a brain who isn't a tory scumbag. He's given various tax breaks to his super rich friends and cut benefits and raised VAT among other things which affect the poor.

I've answered the same questions again and again please read my previous posts providing that the Nazis (mods) haven't deleted them.

How the actual **** will it do that? Are you referring to them having to pay higher taxes?

Good God, of course not. Sending money to the state's treasury is probably the least efficient way of benefiting people.

What do you think people do with money? They spend it or they invest it. By spending it, you are creating custom for private enterprise. By investing, even in the most basic savings account at a bank, you are investing - directly or indirectly - in private enterprise, providing the funds required to turn ideas into profit-making and job-creating businesses.

Which is, of course, false. The Coalition government has kept taxation relatively steady, although imposing things like the banking levy. Meanwhile, it is cutting taxes for the lowest paid by significantly increasing the income tax threshold each year of the life of this parliament.

Not to mention that the corporations rip people off everyday. That's the entire purpose of capitalism. The purpose of capitalism is to provide the ****tiest product at the HIGHEST possible price NOT the other way around like Thatcher claimed. Everyone knows this. I feel like I'm talking special needs kids sometimes.

Einstein, Tesla, Da Vinci, all the smartest people warned us about capitalism and its nefarious effects on society.

How much do you think its costs Nike to make a pair of trainers in a sweatshop in south-east Asia? Now how much do they sell them for?

If capitalism worked a pair of Nike's would cost £20 because they would be "competing" ie. undercutting Adidas, Reebok, Puma, etc... Instead the opposite occurs. It's called 'price fixing'.

This isn't hard people. Try to keep up.
People always say the current PM is the worst.

Again this is complete bull****. Example: why do you think David Cameron vetoed the 5% business tax proposed by Sarkozy and Merkel. To protect his corporate masters.

And you haven't rebutted my arguments about the VAT increase or the benefits cuts. Liar!

If you honestly believe that DC gives a flying **** about common people you are naive. But then again you're obviously a right-winger so DC could be raping children in broad daylight and you'd still defend him. Just so long as the "evil bolshevik labour party aren't letting in more immigrants duuurrrrrr!"

Oh yes he was bad mate , look , at first i didnt like the way he bullied everyone in the Labour party to takeover as the PM role . He used to pressurise Tony to give him a chance to be the PM , but clearly he wasnt the typical man for that job , it was only selfishness and greediness . Blair wanted David Miliband , probably the most suitable guy to be PM , but Brown bullied everyone not to contest , i really hated that . When he took over , it was all downhill and i was happy when he was humiliated in the elections , though i didnt like Cameron but who else can we look at . The problem we have today is Labour has a weak clown in the younger Miliband who is natuarally not fit to be a PM let alone a leader in any sense of the word . So , i would stick with what we have because anything else will be even worse .

But you're not criticizing any of his POLICIES (which were all identical to Blair's). Just the fact that he's a selfish, egotistical bully just like most politicians. Is DC any better? He dreamed of ruling this country ever since he was a little boy at Eton and you can be sure that he stepped on more than a few toes to get there.

I do agree with you that Labour is garbage. ALL of our political parties are garbage. In every election we're given the choice between two robots in suits. Which is part of the reason that I argue that the UK is NOT a democracy.
