Deflection. They aren't the Government

No deflection.

I did say "will do"

JohnD likes his continual rants about the shower in charge but offers no solutions ............... so I hope he's going to continue his rants after the next election.

 

[Murdochcat]

oh look a tribal Conservative voter

Wrong.

Just somebody older than you with incredibly low expectations of any Government........

What could be "more informed" than looking at the state and/or shortage of:


- our GP and dental provision

Both the direct result of Labour policies ......


So unless taxes rise then little will change AND I've repeatedly said I'm happy to pay more tax / NI - which the majority don't seem to want to do.

The schools and hospitals had been robbed - of necessary investment, maintenance, support, replacement funds - for decades; that is why they were in such a state to require drastic measures.

So if Gordon Brown had borrowed the money and increased the debt, the UK would have full control over all the PFI sites that are paying over the odds and will to continue to the odds for a long time yet. PFI agreements are typically 25 - 30 years.

Prudent government would not have let it come to that in the first place.

It's all very well knocking the solution but it is the same story - kicking the can down the road - time after time, when it comes to maintaining and replacing UK infrastructure and services.

Gordon Brown did it because its "off balance sheet debt"

The private finance initiative (PFI) was a United Kingdom government procurement policy aimed at creating "public–private partnerships" (PPPs) where private firms are contracted to complete and manage public projects.[1] Initially launched in 1992 by Prime Minister John Major,

All infrastructure of any significance is funded by debt by some group or the other. No one has the cash in their pockets.

And those that (didn't) invest in our infrastructure and services before that, did so it too wouldn't appear on any government spending or debt.

 

[Brigadier]

All infrastructure of any significance is funded by debt by some group or the other.

The Tory myth is that they are competent with the economy.

When in reality, they let our infrastructure crumble while increasing our debts.

 

[carmanmemoranda]

But labour will be worse.

If that's not tribal, what is

 

[Mottie]

And Labour will do ...................... anything?

They are not in power.
