Well according to all the latest news reports the answer is not a lot. For months now Gordon Brown, Labour spin-doctors and the Dark Lord Mandelson have been hammering a message down the throats of all potential voters. The great electoral winning strategy being espoused was this – Labour will continue to spend on public services, whilst inevitably the Tories will most certainly cut, cut, and cut. Oh, how the giant U-turn of British politics works! It now appears, thanks to a leaked Treasury document, that Labour despite their dogged determination to commit this country to a lifetime of debt and servitude, have now completely changed their minds and are in-fact planning to cut spending by 10% within the next 5 years.
With Britain’s national debt still constantly spiralling like the Milky Way it is clear that some savings have to be made. Last month Gordon Brown announced his intention to save £35bn billions by streamlining government and making more efficient, but my question is this- If we can streamline government and make £35bn in efficiency savings, then why the hell haven’t we done it already? Clearly Labour no longer has a clue what it’s doing. When everything was going well the government sat there on their laurels getting fat and rich by milking the city. While they did this they employed all their chums as Tsars and Quango officials, ballooning Whitehall to unprecedented levels, and where did this all get us? It got us to the brink of bankruptcy and that’s all.
I’m completely sick of all the lies, bumblings, obfuscations and avoidance that now comes as standard with our politicians. They have completely lost sight of real down to Earth people. For once I would like to see a politician answer a question without any semblance of squirming or tangency. Cameron today spoke about ‘transparency’ and ‘honesty’, he even accused the PM of attempting to cover-up the plans for spending cut, yet when asked by a Sun reporter if he was ‘calling Gordon Brown a liar’ the soon to be elected leader of the country (not by me, that’s for sure) began to babble and jibber – for goodness sake David just say what you mean and have the damn courage of your convictions, rather than relentlessly using the Eton charm offensive to smarm your way into Number 10 without alienating at least one particular demographic. At least Gordon Brown doesn’t care that no-one likes him.
See no lies, hear no lies and definitely don't call anyone a liar....
