  • Looks like a clown

    and talks like one too

    David Cameron will today warn the British public that turning round the economy will be a long haul but he will insist that the country should not be "paralysed by gloom and fear".

    In his closing speech to the Conservative Party conference in Manchester, he will concede that the flatlining economy is in a worse condition than he expected when he became Prime Minister last year. But he will argue that the pain will be worth it, and end on an optimistic note about the future.

    Mr Cameron will say: "The only way out of a debt crisis is to deal with your debts. That means households – all of us – paying off the credit card and store card bills. It means banks getting their books in order."

        We would have to cancel off 365 days in a year.

        When you think about it we are taxed on tax on tax.

        You earn money you are taxed at source

        You spend money you pay VAT on already taxed income

        You save money and earn some interest you have to declare this on your tax return and if tax has not been paid at source - it has to be paid.

        You want to go grocery shopping lots of stuff in your basket is vatable

        We pay council tax

        Tax on petrol as well as many other ways we pay tax.

        I am surprised they have not introduced a tax for breathing in the air lol

        It is horendous what taxes we pay in a year.

              But he did not say that though in reality

              "But we need to tell the truth about the overall economic situation. People understand that when the economy goes into recession, times get tough. But normally, after a while, things pick up. Strong growth returns. People get back into work. This time, it's not like that. And people want to know why the good times are so long coming.

              The answer is straightforward, but uncomfortable. This was no normal recession; we're in a debt crisis. It was caused by too much borrowing, by individuals, businesses, banks, and most of all, governments. When you're in a debt crisis, some of the normal things that government can do, to deal with a normal recession, like borrowing to cut taxes or increase spending - these things won't work because they lead to more debt, which would make the crisis worse.

              Why? Because it risks higher interest rates, less confidence and the threat of even higher taxes in future. The only way out of a debt crisis is to deal with your debts. That's why households are paying down their credit card and store card bills. It means banks getting their books in order. And it means governments - all over the world - cutting spending and living within their means."

                Economic recovery hopes were dealt another huge blow today by the worst ever government borrowing figures for August.

                The Treasury was forced to borrow £15.9 billion - the highest figure for the month since records began in 1993 - and is now on course to miss its target of £122 billion for the year.


                He seems to have forgotten this bit lol

                Oh we have a brace of clowns

                  Re: Looks like a clown

                  After all these cut backs and austerity measures, does anyone know,

                  a) How big was the deficit when the condoms came to power and

                  b) How much is it now

                  Considering they have just been "forced" to borrow another £15.9 billion this month, I would have thought they were some sort of headway by now, thats the largest monthly borrowed amount ever.

                          when they took over in 2010 it was 147billion and i believe this year it's down to 137billion and apparently on target to hit the 122billion mark in 2012...

                          With borrowing the way it is, those figures don't seem right!?
