Amen FiliAnd while he's f***ing off, he can take the Assistant Editor of the Financial Times with him. She's just been on the news saying "At the time of the last Election, we thought markets losing confidence in our debt was the key thing. We've come to realise that lack of growth is the crucial problem."
I'm just waiting to see who defends this and what pathetic excuses exactly they'll use..Of course, it's all Labour's fault, isn't it?Oh, and the wrong type of, er, sunshine?

"It's now clear that Britain's economic reputation is on the line at the next general election, another reason for bringing the date forward and having that election now," said the shadow chancellor, George Osborne. "For the first time since these ratings began in 1978, the outlook for British debt has been downgraded from stable to negative."
Cameron must be now thinking what Tories think in a crisis, he`s got to knife his mate in the back to try and save his own skin, he must realise that he can`t go to another general election with this idiot in charge of the Country`s finances, but it`s too late for him now, there`s no chance of this lot getting re elected, lets just hope we have n`t gone over the cliff edge by then!

Gove? Hunt? Hague is the best of a bad bunch for the job but he's clever enough to know not to take it if he wants to keep his reputation.Actually the only man in the current government fit for the job is Cable but I can't see Cameron giving that high a job to a LibDem. So much for working together for the good of the country, party comes first!
Interesting to note how the 4G fiasco appears to have gone under the radar (excuse the pun!!) of most.The government were expecting to raise 3.5 billion from the sale of licenses for the 4G network via an auction. The auction apparently raised 2.5 billion, a margin of error of 1 billion pounds!!!! WTF!!!! Anyone who has ever had anything to do with a budget will know that its standard practice to allow for a margin of error of +/- 10%, but A billion pounds on a 3.5 billion initiative to raise cash? Got the smell of brown envelopes and things that move in the night for me!!!!As for the auction, why did the government not say, we have X number of licenses, we wish to raise 3.5 billion, divide one by the other, and thats the price that is required to have a license granted! Pay it or do one!!!! Or would that be too simplistic a solution?
Bit of a sweeping statement there Billy, how do you know what ideas and models that they are using?
