Those fuckers are now coming after tax payers to make up the shortfall.... the bbc news presenter looked pretty unhappy himself when he read it out.
I nearly choked when I heard the Culture Secretary tell everyone, on Sky News, that is was because of Brown's prudent running of the economy that they could afford to borrow so much to restart the economy.

His noses was getting bigger as he spoke.

So this is the measure that Brown and Darling think will kick start the economy again. 2.5% off VAT so shoppers get a better deal. That's not on food or a few more essentials by the way.

The shops are discounting like mad and giving away 10% to 50% off to get some business. But 2.5% off on VAT will make all the difference. I've heard some stupid things in my life, been hear too long LOL, but that one takes the top prize. The UK's fucked with those clowns in charge. Just like the last long term Labour Government they will leave a shit sandwich for the Conservatives to inherit.

Thatcher, who is widely hated for what she had to do, inherited a real pile of shit from the previous Labour Government. The unions were running the country and had to be broken. So she got rid of a lot of jobs and broke them. Giving the country a sound base to grow from.

The pity is the people who followed her never had the balls to keep it going.
