So much for change eh. The Nationalists that were in power plundered this country to the tune of 5 billion or so. We are already bankrupt in reality so what’s a few more billions. Absolutely disgusting.

Those expecting change should be happy they finally got some. I’m sure they were shocked however when they realised the change they wanted was actually a few little brown coins. Change is change hux.

Daphne, the rise in deficit is truly a serious concern. This government does not want to raise any alarm. Maybe (in economic and political terms) it pays in the short term but I am very sure the country will have to face the consequences, eventually.

Very few people can see this crisis coming. The worse is that none of the politicians from the government side is helping to explain the present situation – except that we are fed with the usual delusion that everything is OK.

I believe that it’s time to hold up for scrutiny the increasing gap in our deficit.

How can we solve problems if the government is denying their existence?

In reply to Alexander Ball. Yes. They too will be offered a job with the government. And more than one if they are not happy enough. Meanwhile, China will provide financial assistance to widen the troughs in a major public infrastructure project.

You really think that 18000 switchers will stay with Labour again next time?

So right, Daphne. People just don’t seem to see further than today. No foresight or common sense. The sad thing is we will all have to pay for their stupidity.
