Yes, all very well trying to be a smart **** with the benefit of hindsight. The trick is to try and be ahead of the curve to some degree. Not so far behind it that you only smell the farts of the last few stragglers.

More good news, along with the recent news in the growth of the economy of 2.9% beating all European counterparts, UK unemployment has dipped below 7% and everyone is set for a real wage rise and lower cost of living as inflation falls below average wage rises. Sure it might be small at first, but the economy is heading in the right direction nonetheless since Labour almost bankrupted this country. Milliband will have to change is tact on his "cost of living strategy".

Yes, a small piece of positive news as it will take us years to catch up to previous levels, but positive nonetheless.

I can just imagine ***** getting very sweaty right now, this could be another one of his major arguments made redundant.

Nah, there's still far, far too many morons (around here for example) that are staunch 'lefties' and vote Laboir regardless.

That worries me - lefties with power

Very true Andy, just look at the mess Hollande has made in France.

It will be interesting to see how the Tories do in the elections if the economy continues to improve. If the economy tanks then there is no doubt they will be badly defeated. However I'm more fascinated by how they'll do if it continues to improve, will they still lose?

Unemployment may have dropped, but how many have zero hours contracts?

The boys and girls who are asking me for work are all told that that they should expect work as and when I need staff. I don't even tell them if it's this year.

If someone is on a zero hours contract it means that they have chosen to be on it rather then benifits.Its not ideal but would you like to see more people out of work because employers can not take the risk of full time contracts?Its better to be positive then just sound like labour who just like to attack with no contribution themselves.Its also interesting to listen to people on zero contract because from what I can tell they all love them.The wright stuff had a phone in just the other day and there was mums that's only chance to work was zero contract to fit round her child and a security guy that has been offered full time but has turned it down.

Are you on the wacky backy? (serious Question)

The reason I ask is you sound just like my brother-in-law who spends all day smoking the stuff and looking at strange websites about aliens/conspiracy theories and spouts all the same kind of stuff as you do.

I would like to think we could but with all the intelligent people now shearing some of their vote's with UKIP labour will have all the idiots with no other option but to vote for them.

It could look like this for example. Tory34% UKIP18% Labour35%

At least Labour will make things LOOK a bit better for a while then we will vote the Tory's back in when its time to swallow that bitter pill,again.

Now Largarde has basically apologised and said that in fact my mate George's austerity plan was indeed the correct approach.

Where is Ps Lewis when you need him?. Dont say after 14 years of driving on the same brake pads, they have finally given up the ghost and he's gone off a cliff.
And he never got to see the Tory miracle unfold..

Yep the weather is lovely isn't it. And with unemployment down again, employment at it's highest ever,the fastest growing economy in Europe as well as excellent growth forecast things could be a lot worse I guess.

of course though, some will know different.

We're still technically bankrupt and with a population increase of 4.97% the GDP per capita is still a good bit lower than 2008.

Not that the lying scum called politicians will ever tell you that.

It could be worse, we could be Palestinian I guess! Not that the plight of a few 'Mussies' in a far off land will bother the SN NSR massive as long as their house prices are 'increasing' and their buy to lets are bringing in the coin!
